Looks like Oracle is starting to "lose the hearts and minds" even of the faithful: http://www.vesterli.com/2017/02/14/losing-hearts-and-minds/ http://www.vesterli.com/2017/02/14/losing-hearts-and-minds/ key quote: "If you are an Oracle developer with more than 10 years until retirement, I advise you to start planning for your time after Oracle." It's too bad, I really like Oracle APEX, (the rapid web and mobile development framework that is included with the DB) since you can build and deploy highly functional/rich apps very quickly, which is the big thing end users care about. (i.e. the same reason foxpro and MS Access were so popular). Anecdotally, I've been hearing from my consulting peers that companies are actively looking to move off Oracle as they don't like being "bullied onto the cloud", and are starting to look at the migration tools in EDB Postgres. That might be a good source of consulting revenues going forward...
