database comparison

I am looking for some papers/information that compare relational
databases such as oracle, mysql, sql server etc. I am particularly
interested in their features such as locking mechanisms, integrity
constraints, views... Anyone know where I can find the information?

Thanks,
SusanThere's a comparison of a number of database servers at

For the Oracle stuff. Keep in mind every vendor will only write stuff
that favours their product just as each of the usenet groups in which
you posted contains rabid supporters of each of these products. Don't
expect objectivity from anyone!

Database Books and Whitepapers

Does anyone know of a good book or white papers that compare the relative
strengths, capabilities and features of databases like SQL*Server, Oracle,
Informix, MySQL etc? Thanks.The database textbook by Silberschatz, Korth, and Sudarshan
has three chapters on DB2, SQL Server, and Oracle.

That may be what you need.
