Why are the table and field names in the examples between Oracle and PostgreSQL different? It makes it harder to compare the two.

  IIRC, Oracle licensing forbids publishing direct comparisons with competing products. I guess they had to find a workaround.

    I wish antitrust legislation in the US was brought back or enforced. Forbidding direct comparisons is an anticompetitive practice if I've ever seen one.

    This kind of model speaks to who actually buys it, I would never pay for a product with such limitations out of principle.

      Microsoft SQL Server has the same clause in their license, unfortunately. https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2018/05/the-dewitt-clause-why-you-rarely-see-database-benchmarks/ https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2018/05/the-dewitt-clause-... So, you wouldn't be considering any commercial SQL offering, basically.
