mongodb is webscale

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

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

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

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

A400 is at least relational.

MongoDB on the other hand...

All data is, or will become, relational.

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

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

Wind gusts are crazy today the way jokes are flying over heads

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

"intelligence" <---> incompetence

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 56 points 17 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.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

"Become"?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, from the beginning

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

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Until it randomly gets removed without warning

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

FOREVER*

[–] xcaliber47@europe.pub 8 points 10 hours ago

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)

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 4 points 8 hours ago

Mmm saas is not forever nor are loss leaders.
