Is it still? Maybe 20 years ago but it's been a long time that I met an It guy who talked about himself having worked with an Oracle DB recently.
It's all PostgreSQL, MS SQL and MySQL/MariaDB where I work.
- tsimionescu 3y agoHere is an article on Statista claiming it is in fact the most used by quite some margin: https://www.statista.com/statistics/809750/worldwide-popularity-ranking-database-management-systems/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/809750/worldwide-popular... I have no idea if that is even close to correct, but I am sure it is still one of the most used RDBMS out there, out of pure inertia if nothing else. Plus, from what I've heard from a friend who worked with a few commercial. DBs, it's actually pretty good software, it's dealing with Oracle licensing and outrageous audit practices that is killing it.
