Their flagship database was outstanding 20 years ago.
Today..not worth the price tag. And if you do pay the price tag, you're going to need some high priced DBAs to baby it along.
To your list I would add that with Hudson they achieved such an own-goal that all anyone knows is the renamed fork, Jenkins. (Which I believe was named after Leeroy Jenkins...)
- necubi 6y agoIt was actually named after the butler from Scooby Doo (Hudson was named after Angus Hudson, the butler from Upstairs, Downstairs)
- phs318u 6y ago> Their flagship database was outstanding 20 years ago. Agreed. Having worked with and delivered some great solutions with Oracle DB in the 2000's, I've been telling people since at least 2010, that Oracle used to be the answer to the question, "which enterprise database?", but now is the answer to "which is the one vendor I should avoid at all costs?"
- sangnoir 6y ago> Which I believe was named after Leeroy Jenkins... IIRC, they wanted an English butler name[1] snooty enough to match "Hudson" - and Jenkins fit the bill (you can almost hear the British accent) 1. https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2011/01/11/hudsons-future/ https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2011/01/11/hudsons-future/
