The worst DB in existence, not to defend Oracle, is blockchain.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Blockchain isn't a Database, and the worst one is AS400.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

A400 is at least relational.

MongoDB on the other hand...

All data is, or will become, relational.

Oracle is not the worse DB in existence. They are a worse company than MS, but I'd much rather be talking to Oracle than MSSQL.

(My go-to is PostgreSQL, tho.)

MSSQLMS is goat tho

I think we all know it actually stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

To be honest, until now I always thought it was because of Oracles.

"intelligence" <---> incompetence

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 56 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Hahaha this is cartoonishly evil, surely it can't be true!

Next you'll tell me Ellison invests in creepy life extension projects and gives an insane amount of money to post-fascist politicians!

Don't forget the support for genocide.

Hate to be the Devils advocate here, but Oracle is the only one (as far as i know) which provides a FREE usable server. FOREVER. Via OracleCloud

Until it randomly gets removed without warning

Mmm saas is not forever nor are loss leaders.

As far as i know, yes. Forever. Only 1 cloud provider that gives free usable server FOREVER (until they eventually change their policy or something)

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, that answers the question "when did oracle become so evil?"

Yeah, from the beginning
