Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y So, Windows is no longer cutting the mustard and you need a more scalable, reliable and higher performing environment. You may be running Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft or any of a number of ERP applications. Or you may be looking to deploy a new Web portal with something like IBM WebSphere with a DB2 backend or WebLogic and Oracle.

I assume you are talking Sybase SQL Server.
Given the topic is about upgrade paths for people wanting to move get past the limitations/issues of desktop platforms.

No. Microsoft.

It has the top 6 on the TPC-C price/performance charts.

http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_price_perf_results.asp

No security patches for SQL 2005 (and its been out for a year).

Even SQL 2000 hasn't had a security problem in the last 2 years.

If someone put the money into testing PostgreSQL on comparable hardware, methinks the equation would swing another way.

MS SQL Server is based on Sybase. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server )
Like most half-decent MS products it was aqcuired rather than developed in-house.
