database comparison

[Susan Lam]

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,
Susan

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!
