Oracle database is rock solid.
- metadat 4y agoLol, sure- for certain use-cases, it works fine. But the only way it stays consistently good is because Big-O severely limits the scope. The Oracle DB internal team culture is just plain depressing. Stuck 30 years in the past in terms of development practices, little or no innovation is allowed. Function names are limited to four or five characters, and the source control is literally from the nineties. Maybe that's the secret to success: Trap enough H1Bs and use the whip. I suppose it all depends on how you define "good quality". Across many dimensions, Oracle is somehow better than average. Maybe it's because, for all it's faults, Oracle does always prioritize security what "quality", whatever management decides that means. Sure beats the Google strategy of constantly murdering anything that isn't Gmail or Search. Is this even a real strategy, or just the lack of one?
- nikau 4y agoI'm not sure what you are trying to convey here around "certain use cases". I hate Oracle culture and their licensing as much as the next person and will avoid their product and services as much as possible, but Oracle database is one of the most scalable and stable database products around.
