I think the Oracle license prohibits people from publishing performance benchmarks of Oracle against other databases. Or at least that's what I remember.

- keketi 10y agoVery reassuring.
- hardwaresofton 10y agoWelp, that's dissapointing, but it gives me a solid reason to never ever trust the claim that Oracle is "just better" than anything else. Claims without proof should hold very little weight with any critical mind. I'm totally open to the idea that Oracle is better in at least some ways (surely their engineers aren't just twiddling their thumbs all day), but I need to see it proven. So far the features that oracle had that people have mentioned: - An amazing query optimizer - Replication (enabling High Availability) features available 15 years ago
- user5994461 10y ago- Oracle was the only SQL DB able to shard. (might still be) - Oracle was the only database able to take multi GB or TB of data in a single table/DB. (Old MySQL/Postgre had various limitations like X GB per table for a long time, they still do). If you worked in the DB in the 200X years, Oracle was the standard and for good reasons. MySQL/Postgre were considered like toys, for good reasons.
- Dangeranger 10y agoWe are not making the comparison 10 years ago, we are making it now. What real features does Oracle have that MySQL/Maria/PostgreSQL do not have now.
- user5994461 10y agoShort version: Nothing changed in 10 years :D

- chris_wot 10y agoThat query optimiser is in many ways amazing, but it's mostly undocumented and the behaviour changes from version to version of the database.
