Some points for you, if I may: - Why are you worried about license fees as a developer? :-) Seriously speaking, start with Oracle SE2. It is so cheap, I would use it everywhere. And if you need those "partitioning", "parallel execution" etc - your business is Enterprise, and you can afford such price tags. (I know, there will be a sh1tst0rm now, but please think about what IO said from business POV) - Oracle Public Cloud gives you database extremely fast - and you will never have issues with license audit - The name of "Rollback of DDLs" is "no developer access to production" and "UAT" :-) - hmmm... $> rman rman> connect target rman> backup database plus archivelog delete input; rman> exit What can be easier? Are you a huge fan of Vacuuming, XID Freezing, WAL optimisations etc. etc.? The MVCC in Postgress, in my view (!) is joke from academia, where they had not a single DBA :-)

Yeah, bring on the downvotes :-), it started already ... Ok - considering the audience, obviously the best database is JS based KV Store with AI optimisation, controlled by K8s! You know, "schema on write", "schema as a code", APIs etc.

  I guess the negative reactions are because you're making statements without anything to back them up. > Why are you worried about license fees as a developer? Lots of developers are involved to some extent in financial decisions. And in any case, I'd be worried about losing my job because Oracle had bankrupted my employer.. > Seriously speaking, start with Oracle SE2. It is so cheap Postgres is free, and open source too. > Oracle Public Cloud gives you database extremely fast It's extremely unlikely that devs will want to host a database in Oracle's cloud, and everything else in AWS/Azure/GCP. > and you will never have issues with license audit The very fact you felt the need to throw that in is exactly why people hate Oracle so much - they are absolutely infamous for screwing customers out of every cent. > The name of "Rollback of DDLs" is "no developer access to production" and "UAT" As others have said, it's useful for testing changes in pre-prod environments - so you can make sure stuff works before it gets to prod. > Are you a huge fan of Vacuuming, XID Freezing, WAL optimisations etc. etc.? This makes no sense; vacuum is automatic, and why would you not want knobs to tweak settings to your workload? Oracle has plenty, so I don't get your beef here. > The MVCC in Postgress, in my view (!) is joke from academia, where they had not a single DBA I've never heard a single sole claim such a thing - do you have any sources?
