Here are a few interesting blog postings I've been reading this week.
Jonathan Lewis on
another Statspack example.
Nuno Souto on SQL Server -
in three parts. What I particularly like about these postings is that the man has used both and is honest about their relative strengths and weaknesses, rather than sticking to the party line.
Similarly,
Raj Thukral on MySQL and, despite his Oracle background I know that Raj is pretty positive about MySQL in general. (I almost called him a MySQL fan!)
Alex Gorbachev admires
"Kurt, the Dude guy's" tool (so to speak).
Kevin Closson has so many interesting posts at the moment that I'll just point you to
his blog again

(Now, which blog does this posting belong in, again? I've forgotten already ...)
