I always thought that Oracle was too expensive for pretty much everyone, but it says a lot when a Big Company dumps a Big Database vendor and moves to Oracle to save money.
- beagle3 11y agoIt never saves money to move to Oracle, but it sometimes gives you functionality that PG/MySQL can't (e.g. high availability clusters). > It says a lot when a Big Company dumps a Big Database vendor and moves to Oracle to save money. I do not know which Big Company you are referring to? But also, never trust a headline which says "Big Company does X" to tell the whole story. It's very often part of a larger deal, a big discount given to them specifically for that headline, or some soft "nice business you have here, wouldn't it be awful if some patent litigation ruined it? That can be avoided if you buy our products" talk.
