Migrating To SQL Server From Oracle, Part 2

If your data is stored in an Oracle 8i or 9i database, Microsoft wants you to compare the total cost of ownership of keeping the data in its current configuration with migrating to Oracle 10g or to SQL Server 2005. Microsoft has provided a white paper, "Should You Migrate from Oracle to SQL Server?" to help the decision making process in your organization.

It's not just the financial impact on keeping the status quo versus migrating, but also the database performance that may be impacted when migrating that needs consideration. Microsoft suggests solutions to the percieved barriers to data migration in this white paper, so it's worth a read if your organization is considering ways to cut costs for data storage.
