Oracle less secure than SQL Server?

According to researchers at Next Generation Security Software Oracle’s relational database management (RDBM) products have far more vulnerabilities than SQL Server from Microsoft, a new study has concluded. Between December 2000 and November 2006, NGSS discovered 233 vulnerabilities in Oracle’s products compared to 59 in Microsoft’s SQL Server technology. The study looked at vulnerabilities that were reported and fixed in SQL Server 7, 2000 and 2005 and Oracle’s database versions 8, 9, and 10g. As our readers may remember Oracle announced over 100 security patches last month.
