Are there in Pros or Cons regarding using Oracle or SQL Database for a
Windchill installation?



In the past I have only used Oracle, members of the IT department here
are more familiar with SQL and would feel more comfortable with it.



Thanks in advance,

So does that mean PTC has a SQL to Oracle converter?

The funny thing is when I performed the migration from Oracle to SQL Server. At the time, PTC was only supporting the migration tools from SQL Server 2005. I successfully used the migration tools from SQL Server 2008 and found the issue of SQL Server not supporting multiple methodservers with SPID/transaction errors. It's more like if PTC supports the Oracle migration tools from SQL Server to Oracle. Most likely Oracle will definitely support it and its just a question of PTC now supporting it. I don't recal ever running any tool from PTC to perform the migration from Oracle to SQL Server. I believe the same will apply for SQL Server to Oracle.


You just have to test everything after migrating.
