> “Of all of the commercial databases, Oracle is the least secure,” British security expert David Litchfield recently told Reuters. Which is a problem, both from a national security perspective or even a consumer confidence perspective. Because today, everybody uses Oracle databases.
The only good thing about it today is that the last sentence is no longer true and Oracle is considered a legacy technology.

- hdjjhhvvhga 2y agoFrom my limited perspective (ca. 10 Fortune 500 orgs) Oracle definitely is (or was) somewhere at each of these but in most cases was considered a liability rather than asset and in two cases I participated in projects migrating away from it (that were quite time-consuming because of all quirks on the way). Only in one case the org was adamant they want to keep it (I don't know the actual reasons as I was in another department but from what I understood they used a lot of Oracle-specific solutions and were depending on Orcale support a lot).
