Guess which one you can't benchmark and publish results on.
- GreedClarifies 3y agoIt really is amazing. From Oracle's Service Agreement: 4.2 You may not, or cause or permit others to: perform or disclose any benchmark or performance tests of the Services, including the Oracle Programs, without Oracle’s prior written consent; It's nuts!
- rodgerd 3y agoSadly this is also true of a lot of database software; there are similar clauses for DB2 and SQL Server.
- freeAgent 3y agoIt certainly says something about your faith in your own product when you try to contractually prevent your customers from publishing performance information about their experience.
- SoftTalker 3y agoOr that it's easy to contrive a benchmark to show anything you want, and they don't want the negative press.
- olyjohn 3y agoGonna be a lot of negative press when your shit sucks.
- SteveNuts 3y agoThose results could be countered or refuted by Oracle themselves or other users. This is just shady.
- reeaper 3y agoThen why doesn't every other piece of software in the world ban benchmarks? Is Oracle really leading the charge into the future?
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Then why doesn't every other piece of software in the world ban benchmarks? Lots of commercial software does. SQL Server does (or did in the past), Atlassian does, etc.
