Why do you think they never won the hearts of the people who actually had to use the product?

- ams6110 9y agoWell, I used Oracle rdbms for a number of years and quite liked it. Their business applications on the other hand I have never used but have heard they are pretty much horrible.
- enraged_camel 9y agoThey indeed are horrible. What is worse is that, out of the box, they don't do much, and the stuff they do is guaranteed to not fit your business. So you end up needing customization, and that's when shit gets real expensive.
- sheepmullet 9y agoI love oracle db and so do lots of dbas.
- gaius 9y agoOracle the core-RDBMS is great. It’s everything they’ve layered on top of it, like the ERP stuff, that is horrific. But now Oracle is going to companies and saying hey you don’t need DBAs, use our cloud. The right thing for all Oracle DBAs to do right now is to push for their orgs to move wholescale to Postgres. Hit Oracle where it hurts.
- itronitron 9y agooracle is completely unable to create an application that shows anything other than a database table or tables, yet all of their sales are targeted to business users not DBAs.
