I think I have read one anecdote: Apple stores and Oracle. I read somewhere that Steve Jobs was happy with the point of sales software and that there is some Oracle in it (and that Jobs and Ellison knew each other) Only positive Oracle anecdote I know of.

They didn’t just know each other: “Ellison's idea was to buy Apple and immediately make Jobs CEO.” “Jobs proposed what Ellison called "a more circuitous route." He would persuade Apple to acquire Next, and then join Apple's board.” “After Jobs was CEO of Apple again — interim CEO initially — Ellison joined Apple's board.” https://www.recode.net/2016/5/13/11672932/larry-ellison-steve-jobs-oracle-apple-usc https://www.recode.net/2016/5/13/11672932/larry-ellison-stev...
