Oracle makes the worst database system ever imagined by anyone ever. Can’t even insert multiple rows in the same statement, you have to put multiple insert statements and Oracle sues you for dreaming about any other database.
and Oracle sues you for dreaming about any other database.
What’s this?
Oracle sues for everything, when they sue you, they can ask for their payment to be related to the total employees of the company, to take that as users of the Oracle Database (trademark)(copyright)(shat my pants) or Java (do I need to repeat?). Yeah, they sue for EVERYTHING.
Can I get an article/source about this? I’m in the mood to be mad about Oracle
The video glances at this, but this happened where I work, so I can’t give the direct sources for the case against the place I work, but if even the Oracle employees talk about the draconic bullshit Oracle does, imagine what happens to the companies/governments they sue.
I can chime in here with “my former employer hired a full-time lawyer after being sued by Oracle over something trivial”. Company of less than 200. They settled and they still have at least one permanent legal staffer.
Fun
Oracle licenses software by CPU (or at least they did). But not in the way you think, they mean by discrete logical CPUs. So if you virtualize one of their apps and give the VM 4 CPUs, do you need four licenses? No, since it could run on any of the CPUs in the host, you need to buy however many that is.
I went to look for more info on this and couldn’t find anything reliable, but I did find an article from Amazon saying that if you run something like this in AWS, you need enough licenses to cover the entire goddamn AWS zone.
Everything that Oracle makes really feels like they got the idea from a random engineer they stuck up on their lunch break.
Yeah, pretty sure you can do multi row insert though
This is one of the issues with the tech side of their business. They’ve been around a long time, and certain features that other databases had in the 90s were just put into Oracle a few years back. Devs don’t always have a good handle on the new capabilities, especially when the old code without the feature is done and working.
Much like Vampires, no sane person should ever invite Oracle into their home: Both are bloodsucking parasitical leeches, and you’ll never be rid of the affliction.
If I have to chose, I’d prefer the Vampire.
SAP does this too. I watched as a ‘license enforcement’ mob conjured up an ‘ indirect user ‘ concept to charge a top 10 ( in our country) client $10million for misusing SAP software for payroll and finance. The group was called Global Customer Assistance or some similar euphemism. It was all bogus. The client immediately started a program to rip out all SAP software. To my knowledge this is now complete. This customer abuse program was started when a number of senior execs moved from Oracle to SAP in the US.
Good Work
Not really
It’s the name of the channel, not a description of what Oracle does (hence the pipe between them). I edited the title to add a bit more context and make it more clear that they do not, in fact, do good work.
The juxtaposition was just too good to not make the comment.
Fair enough :p
It’s like the song Well Done by IDLES, more sarcasm than anything
Larry Ellison, the largest private funder of the Israel Defense Forces, is deeply tied to the Israeli national security state and counts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among his closest friends.

Edit:
The article also answers the question posed in this post about what does Oracle actually do:
Oracle sees itself as an activist organization, one whose goal is the advancement of the Israeli colonization project
He also vets republican presidential candidates for Israel. That’s the country where his loyalties lie, not the US.
FUCK ORACLE
Sounds like Ransomware
Oracle is a CIA asset.
This is also mentioned in the article I posted elsewhere in the thread:
Oracle started as a project for the Central Intelligence Agency. Indeed, it is named after Project Oracle, a 1970s CIA operation on which Ellison worked

Big businesses are all in cahoots with each other.
Everything is so expensive so they can spend that money on each other.
My job only exists because it was cheaper to hire several thousand tech workers to replace all the oracle products in house over several years than to keep using Oracle lmao
Like backend Nintendo no it’s not at fun as it sounds
That reporter is distractingly handsome
Oracle makes money. They don’t care how.
