Oracle Named Database of the Year, MongoDB Comes In Second (softpedia.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the headlines-from-a-parallel-universe dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Oracle's database management system has seen the biggest rise in terms of popularity in the past year. Oracle didn't only see a rise in the number of deployed instances, job offerings and mentions on LinkedIn profiles, but for the first time also became a popular topic on Twitter and a constant mention on StackOverflow, a popular Q&A support forum for developers. Second on DB-Engine's popularity list was MongoDB, which barely missed winning the DBMS of the Year award for the third time in a row.

    So you're comparing Oracle to Sodom and Gomorrah? That's apt.

    No, Oracle is rpm. It's Debian (or is it just Deb now?) that's apt.
    And Sodom and Gomorrah produced salt, which has its uses...

    There are no Christians in the KKK, a 'real' Christian wouldn't do such a thing. Oh wait, Christians you said? White Christians? I take my words back, you are right. The proportion of Christians who are white in the KKK is greater than the proportion of Muslims in ISIS. Especially when you consider there are no Muslims in ISIS since a 'real' Muslim wouldn't do such a thing, except of course for the few white people who have converted to Islam. White Muslims are the only Muslims in ISIS, the other non white Muslims aren't real Muslims.
