* MS started earlier with Security and the Security Development Livecycle
* Oracle is much more complex than SQL Server (Oracle: builtin Corba-Orb,HTTP-Server, FTP-Server, XMLDB, Adv. Queuing, Java in the database, …)
* Oracle supports multiple plattforms, MS only Windows, Some features more difficult to implement on multiple OS
* Oracle supports more versions (9i Rel. 2, 10g Rel.1 , 10g Rel.2 and 11g)

Hope this helps a little bit to understand why SQL Server has less vulnerabilities than Oracle databases.

Is this solely the result of the "Security Development Lifecycle" at Microsoft? regards, stephan I would like to hear the opinion of the database experts how and why Microsoft has managed to improve the security of their DBMS, while Oracle aparently hasnt solved this problem yet.
