1. An interesting source is the eWeek database server clash. When comparing
apples to apples, the numbers come out like so:
500 users
----------
Oracle ~480 wp/s (web pages per second)
~ 20 sec response (6 actions)
SQL Server ~200 wp/s
~50 sec response
1000 users
-----------
Oracle ~600 wp/s
~30 sec response
SQL Server ~225 wp/s
~100 sec response
When you put .NET in the mix:
-------------------------------
SQL Server 500 users: ~480 wp/s with ~20 sec response
1000 users: ~800 wp/s with ~25 sec response
Findings:

2. This is much like a previous test:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1165267,00.asp
9i peak: 629 wp/s with 32 sec response
SQL/.NET peak: 741 wp/s with 25 sec response
3. You can also download the Middleware revised test (had to be revised when
..NET beat the snot out of Java, admitedly with Sun's initial release against
Microsoft's optimized release -- the updated comparison still shows .NET on
top, although not by a startling margin):
http://www.middleware-company.com/casestudy/tmc-performance-study.shtml
With Oracle database EJB versus C# are nearly identical
---------------------------------------------------------
1585.74 versus 1586.54 (slight nudge to C#)
-- Other J2EE implementations fared worse
With SQL Server, C# a better winner, but not startling
-------------------------------------------------------
1578.2 versus 1773.14 (bigger nudge to C#)
Web Services Test, C# clear winner
-------------------------------------
Best J2EE was Servlet-JSP: 359 wr/s
C# SQL - 1245 wr/s
C# Oracle - 832 wr/s
4. Microsoft's take:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/compare/default.aspx
Sun had a response, but I cannot find it now.
5. Another comparison on a variety of matrices:

In the end, you code based on the platform, database, language/platform of
your developer resources, et al.
