Maybe Postgres plays a part in this??
I used to have a business that sold Microsoft Dynamics ERP/CRM which required Enterprise version SQL licences, at truly insane prices per core ie $100k+ per server. At that time Oracle was even more expensive. When I started a business based on Postgres, I found it incredible that we could get a (much better dev platform for our needs) completely free!
Recently Postgres has added many Enterprise features inc parallel query, logical replication etc Enterprise db offer Oracle compatibility. This must be taking significant business away from Oracle.
- fgonzag 8y agoI know I'm preaching to the choir here, but anyone here works in a medium to large company using Postgres (especially one that switched from multi million dollar licensing), convincing the hire ups of setting a up a small yearly donation or buying a support contract from a core developer is how we can give back. I honestly think PostgreSQL is one the core pillars of the open source community, and one of the more underfunded ones.
