After all, if Amazon can get over their addiction, they will help lots of other businesses to do the same. By direct hosting. By providing onsite. And don’t forget all the brilliant people who will invent tools and spin off businesses that will provide these services. What was once considered impossible will become an every day thing.
This is a huge deal, if you are tracking Oracle’s business and are concerned about layoffs. The DB is the only thing they ever “invented”, the rest is all addon.
my new employer doesn't need anything from O. they use cheaper or open source with better features and support. meantime O invests in nine levels of management
@oog - Yes, you are probably the only one who tried to use influence to move your new company to adopt Oracle technology. I currently spend my days telling people to stay well away from it.
@oog - and when your new employer find what the cost differential is, you’ll be looking for a new job, and rightly so
I am ex-Oracle so when I landed at my current gig I was surprised to find it was all

TK - is that you?
I am ex-Oracle so when I landed at my current gig I was surprised to find it was all open source DBs. i've since put together a plan to move us to an Oracle Cloud setup and sunset the open source DBs. I can't be the only one who after Oracle has used their influence to invest heavily in our former employer.
At some point, the emperor will be dethroned.
and many smart guys left the ship in last two years and the bad managers got even bigger roles.
