    mysql is a non-robust toy, I've seen it fail and corrupt data time and again over the years...in fact about twice a year.

    postgresql can be robust, SQL must of course typically be modified to migrate.

    Some products require certain DBMS even if multiple ones. DB2 is cheaper than oracle and can scale higher...just saying (though I hate IBM for other reasons)

    if you ARE running oracle on your hardware, you haven't read the fine print of the agreement then, and you may be in for a big hell of a surprise one day.

  9. I like the phrase the summary threw in about "badass female leads and genre bending horror"....as if lack of those was the problem. Now don't get me wrong, bad-ass female leads kicking ass makes me hard, and horror story that is well done is fun too....but a good story can have any and all kinds of characters, even an old WASP millionaire

  10. shun Oracle DBMS on Oracle Fiddles With Major Database Release Cycle Numbers (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Informative

    For quite a while minor point releases have had major API and behavior changes.

    Technical matters aside, their auditors swarm into a company like Yakuza thugs making up fallacious reasons why the customer must pay more money or must use Oracle hardware. One of their lies is for virtualized customers, saying that every connected physical system where Oracle *might* run must be paid for as if the product really was running there. Of course, with careful legal work taking many months there nonsense can be refuted, and they'll leave....but that's after a large amount of man-hours of effort expended.

    You've been warned. If you use their products, migrate. If you are considering using their products, don't.

    never mind my load type today, what about 2 years from now? why would I spend money on something that *might* segfault and for which the vendor isn't going to provide a solution to *everyone*. case by case basis my ass, that's the sign of a tech hardware vendor which should be shunned.
