INTERVIEW QUESTIONS DATABASE DETAILS

Question: What is basic difference between SQL Server2000 and oracle?

Answer: In Oracle, a database refers to the entire Oracle RDBMS environment. The Oracle RDBMS is comprised of tablespaces, which in turn are comprised of data files. Tablespace data files are formatted into internal units termed blocks. Oracle 9i Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms. PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.

A Microsoft SQL Server database provides a logical separation of data, applications, and security mechanisms. A SQL Server installation can support multiple databases. Microsoft SQL Server uses filegroups at the database level to control the physical placement of tables and indexes. Filegroups are logical containers of one or more files, and data contained within a filegroup is proportionally filled across all files belonging to the filegroup. SQL Server 2000 is cheaper to buy than Oracle Database and is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
