What? When was oracle free or opensource?

  and when was oracle the fastest database? You are not allowed to even publish that metric....

    I do have some sympathy for companies who don’t want to have to deal with a constant barrage of benchmarks that are egregiously wrong. HN has been host to quite a few of these spats over the years and I wouldn’t want to deal with it, there are pretty much only downsides to letting people poorly benchmark your product and have every incentive to get it wrong.

      well to be fair, most benchmarks are of course not comparable with the real world. People should always use what works best for them.
