If you think Oracle gives the slightest shit about good will you have not been paying attention.
- eneveu 16y agoI think it will damage their business in the long term, as today's developers gradually move to business positions. Before Oracle acquired Sun, I was neutral toward them, and didn't really care. I thought they were a big enterprise vendor, with a supposedly very good (but pricey) database. If I were given the money to use their DB, I would use it. Now, I really hate what they represent. 10 years from now, as a CTO, I will try my best to consider other options, even if I have the "money" for an Oracle DB. I already love Postgres, but with Oracle's recent behavior, I will push even more toward good open source projects and away from bloated enterprise solutions. Plus, Postgres / RethinkDB / other OSS databases will be better in 10 years ;)
