As someone who is not a DBA, but effectively has to be one, and deal with Oracle DB’s inconsistencies/idiosyncracies/matryoshka dolls etc. – combined with what Ellison’s just said here, and other things that he’s done (for example; here have another; hey why not) – I’ve arrived at the conclusion that Oracle’s a shit company that makes a shit product. For the life of me I can’t figure out how the latter ever got them where they are today (perhaps simply buying out/absorbing the competition got them a lot farther than I’d realized).
