Sql Server or Oracle Database?

In other words are there any limitations in Sql Server in terms of performance, Functionality, etc that are better addressed in Oracle?

I agree with acperkins...
As an Oracle Resource.. I think oracle has a better tendency in case of robustness or performance and the tools/resources available in market makes it easy to manage.!!

Thank you all! So from what I gather they pretty much serve the same purpose and are pretty competitive. But How about the new Sql Server products like SSIS, SQL Reporting Services, etc Does Oracle have functionalities like those?
Oracle has corresponding utilities or product, cost should be calculated carefully

Oracle have functionalities like those?
Of course, but you are missing the point. Just for arguments sake, let assume your team has Oracle expertise and you decide that based solely on functinality you are going to go for SQL Server. Even if Oracle is $20K (this is just a number) more expensive than SQL Server, can you honestly justify that is going to outweigh re-training all your team? If you do, you are in for a rude awakening.

Besides, I think that Oracle is unnecessarily too complex.
Finally, a majority of markets out there use sql server.
I am not an advocate for Microsoft by the way - just my experience having used both.
