- yourapostasy 7y agoTrading environment, there wasn't another solution with the lookup-and-matching performance they got out of Oracle, from what little was shared with me. I trust the source as he is the best programmer I know first-hand and never shied away from throwing together his own solution if he found benefit from it, like his own object database back in the early 80's.

I've been maintaining trading backend databases for roughly a decade. What oracle does, db2, sql server, sybase can do. And postgresql, MySQL most probably too. Most of the times the Oracle choice is dictated by a software editor whose devs are more familiar with Oracle and have an oracle first strategy.
