a flat file client technology with a highly scalable industrial strenghth
RDBMS.  They are not in ther same class.(other than being "databases" Like

[nothing but the subject line]

It would be a silly web site.  

It would be like comparing heavy bulldozers to plastic pool toys for
the purpose of digging holes.  Both can be used to dig holes, but
their characteristics are _so_ different that it is obviously
ridiculous to compare them.
