MS SQL Server is a RDBMS developed by Microsoft. It is written in C and C++ and is available
in over twelve international languages. It is a software product with the main function of
storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications that may run either
on the same computer or on another computer across the network including the internet. MS
SQL Server uses as its primary query languages T-SQL and ANSI SQL.

You might find this direct comparison between Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle RDBMS
on IT Central Station to be helpful.
This user writes in his review that he recommends SQL Server for smaller enterprises, but is
ultimately an RDBMS user because, "the main features that I take into account when I talk
about databases of any kind are high availability, reliability and manageability. Oracle
RDBMS has all that." You can read the rest of his review, as well as explore what others have
to say about these two solutions, here .

Probably, the most obvious difference between the two RDBMS is the language they use.
Although both systems employ an edition of Structured Query Language or SQL, MS SQL
Server employs Transact SQL, or T-SQL which is an expansion of SQL actually developed by
Sybase and employed by Microsoft. Oracle meanwhile uses Procedural Language/SQL or
PL/SQL. Both are dissimilar flavors of SQL and both languages have dissimilar syntax and
abilities. The vital difference between the two languages is how they manage variables,
stored procedures and innate functions. PL/SQL in Oracle can also group procedures
together into packages which can’t be happen in MS SQL Server. In my opinion, PL/SQL is
complex and brilliantly more powerful while T-SQL is much simple and easy to use.

Your question is like asking the difference between a Ford and a Toyota truck. They both
provide a comprehensive set of server-hosted and client-hosted SQL engines, tools,
interfaces and support utilities to manage databases. Ignore the marketing hype and look for
long-term cost-benefit analysis. Often the biggest cost is finding competent developers, DBAs
and architects that are intimately familiar with the chosen DBMS. Today they're functional
equivalent but very, very different in many respects. Before you choose, consider what you
already know and don't have to re-learn to use the target DBMS.

MsSql :
It is not open source.
It requires more disk space.
It doesn't work in linux and unix.
It provides management tools based on GUI.
It is complex language.
ORACLE :
Oracle is a specific relational database system. So if you are using Oracle, you will also be
using SQL to get information out of it.
It is one type of DBMS software.Oracle understands only sql language.
There are so many versions of oracle like 9G,10G,11G,But Sql has no version,it is a
language,only new features are added to it.
The only interface available between end users and an RDBMS is SQL.
Oracle is an object relational database management system, which allows objects to be stored
in tables, in a manner similar to numbers and words being stored in an RDBMS system.
