Abstract

Translate

Microsoft Corp. customers praise SQL Server 6.0, the latest release of the company's database server, for its ease of use and flexibility, both features that Microsoft attributes partially to its tight integration with the underlying Windows NT operating system. However, many database buyers still perceive the database's availability only on NT as a liability. The Windows NT-only strategy may also be an impediment for SQL Server because of NT's limited scalability. This leaves SQL at a disadvantage against competitors, including Oracle Corp., Sybase Inc., and Informix Software Inc., that can scale across hundreds of processors through parallel versions of their databases.
