And there is a lot of programs currently using the .net infrastructure and a lot of developers are currently developing in .net. Back to my post, it all depends what database your program supports and personal preference... :)

This can turn into a lengthy discussion... :) I currently use Microsoft SQL on a daily basis and also write trigger, stored procedures and DTS packages in SQL. I have spoken to a couple of developers who know both SQL and Oracle and 99% of them said that they prefer to use SQL because it's more user friendly and much easier to use compared to Oracle. I think in the end it depends what database backend you require and if you can use any one, it boils down to personal preference. My personal preference is SQL... :)
