Larry Ellison started the Oracle ball rolling by selling an up-and-coming database technology, based on relationships, which was an R&D study at Stanford? (IIRC) to the FBI. I presume that Oracle powers all the "signals" gathering at the NSA/CIA/FBI. That alone would be enough to keep Oracle in business forever.
- hobs 5y agoThere were no Oracle databases in the Snowden revelations, all MySQL iirc.
- Denvercoder9 5y agoOracle owns MySQL, though.
- hobs 5y agoSure, but the division between Oracle Database and MySQL Database is pretty large; that being said I wouldnt be surprised if they had somehow gotten some money out of it.
