I work in tech, no reasonable person would ever decide to use an Oracle DB unless they were stuck with some shit from 2003

That’s true that the number of cores is way higher for GPU’s. It’s why a lot of workloads moved over to GPU’s, from CPU’s, so your right there. I disagree on virtualisation however. What functionality you can access there is a lot more dependent on the hardware, as that’s much newer for GPU’s. High end Data Center GPU’s definitely have the full range of Virtualization you’d expect for carving up segments of the full power of the device for different workloads and to different machines. I was pretty quick with my reply so I did miss some key information regarding my point here that’s relevant for GPU vs CPU. The GPU demand is from ever growing models, they’re already built to maximize GPU concurrency and will fully utilize GPU’s. Of course at the data center level single requests won’t consume the hardware capacity they’re putting in, but the volume of use and with agentic workflows where a single request might end up with batches of sub requests, the demand scales to push hardware supply. Hence part of the reason for all the investment. But OP pointed to applications and tools made by the AI agents at the time of me writing that message as the new demand for CPU’s. Normals software like this doesn’t have scalable cpu demand in the same way as Agentic AI models. Running multiple tools and software concurrently is a solved problem for CPU’s and operating systems. Sure sometimes you might run just a DB or a server on a system alone, but historically software would underutilise CPU’s, which prompted the creation of solutions to slice up systems to present as multiple separate systems through virtualisation and containerisation to better utilise that capacity. I did some digging and found out what prompted OP to write this was a report over a week ago where Meta has made an in principal deal with AMD for $100 billion for new hardware to support Agentic workflows. This is heavily GPU, DPU and also directly purchasing next gen Epyc CPU’s. Lisa called out this is buying future capacity, and her doing that really is trying to create urgency to get more buyers in to improve her companies sales and margins. This demand won’t impact sales of other CPU’s because the Epyc CPU’s are on cutting edge nodes that say consumer CPU’s aren’t. It’s also questionable how real this demand is because it’s a similar in principal deal to the one made with OpenAI where they’ll purchase in tranches well into the future, and Meta has similar deals with the other major hardware providers Google, and Nvidia. It’s quite possible they’re just hedging.

Yep, if oil prices increase refinaries will end losing money. It is completely fake that high price in WTI makes major US petrol companies with more money... Also involving in uncertain weeks or months without US authorization in a blatantly illegal attack, suggesting to send troops again will only make SELL America effect once again as happened with liberation day. And user who posted think no effect in price? He completely did not check a single analyst report, DB, GS, Morgan.... Each one increasing price from 90 to 150$ simple because of strait closure. Right now markets where expecting a fast offensive and ofc is not priced in months of closure, 🥭 trip to China might be the start of Taiwan takeover

Oh don’t worry, NetSuite is a black hole of dogshit, you can essentially run it as a bad crm, a bad TMS, WMS, and bad ERP all in one. My favorite is that if you want to get more than 100 instances of a record in their database in a minute, you have to use a read only DB that takes I shit you not, 5 seconds to instantiate a new connection (which you need every time because it is a short lived ODBC driver).

MS Access. God-level DB backend with bullet proof SQL. Just to remind everyone, Access was designed to replace Excel so as to ensure that data and calculations could be partitioned into relational terms. I know people Excel because of modelling and charting, but you must realise that Excel is also used in aerospace for creating aerodynamic models and, using Excel for basic (and I do mean basic) calculations...is kinda wrong. Grid based versus an actual database SQL system...there is no comparison. Side note, the amount of times someone has sat opposite me in an interview with MS OFFICE on their resume, and then I ask them to build a basic relational database, only to have them look like a deer in the headlights; astonishes them more than I. It is the fundamental glue that holds MS Office together, and most people do not even know what it is, let alone use it daily. It can literally pull data from the internet and display it, analyse it and then pimp out a content rich report.

You are so wrong!!! 1) Amazon and MSFT grew at scale, PLTR is at its very beginning. Scaling and accelerating growth!!! Growing at + 70%, worldwide nowadays. 2) The SBC small annual dilution is not an issue, since the company keeps growing as HELL!! In fact it’s the secret to hire the best to keep the machine growing as HELL. So SBC is working perfectly. 3) Well deserved cash out by Karp and Thiel after 23 years building PLTR and now being the OWNER of the Enterprise/Gov space. The classic method of valuing stock does not apply to this monster growth company in the middle of the AI revolution. SAP, MSFT, Salesforce will be devoured by the DB OS infrastructure that PLTR is building. You have no grip on PLTR. See you at 400-500 in 2 years.

If that's really what you want to do, you can buy the ETF UDN (Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund). Although that would be pretty stupid. Otherwise, you can buy a CHF-hedged or EUR-hedged ETF. Although that would be pretty useless. They usually have a higher TER, worse tracking error and hedging has no effect on the average expected returns. You're not the only person in the world who expects the USD to lose value. All of that is already priced in. The more the USD is expected to lose value, the higher the cost of hedging against it. The truth is that if you just buy any asset, whether it be equities or commodities or real estate or even idk... Rolls of toilet paper if you have enough storage space, then you are protected from currency devaluation. Just don't hold cash and you're good.

As of late 3025 total U.S. retirement assets (401k, IRAs etc) were approximately $48.1 trillion (as of September 30, 2025), while the total market capitalization of the U.S. stock market was around $71 trillion (as of October 2025).  The total value held in all U.S. 401(k) plans was approximately $10.0 trillion as of September 30, 2025 Not quite more than an order of magnitude. Further breakdown: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs): $18.9 trillion, the largest single category. Employer-Based Defined Contribution (DC) Plans: $13.9 trillion, which includes 401(k)s ($10.0 trillion), 403(b)s, and the federal Thrift Savings Plan. Government Defined Benefit (DB) Pensions: $9.5 trillion, covering federal, state, and local government employees. Private-Sector Defined Benefit (DB) Pensions: $3.1 trillion, traditional corporate pension plans. Annuity Reserves: $2.6 trillion, held outside of formal retirement accounts. Either way, it’s a huge portion of the market being held up by long term holders who DCA for the long term and being a *colossal* collective annuity.

And since the data I used was outdated slightly DC schemes hold even fewer stocks now, only 27% https://www.ppf.co.uk/press-releases/PPF-publishes-20th-edition-of-the-Purple-Book You can find the data for DC and DB schemes here on the UK government's website, comes in .xlsx https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/investmentspensionsandtrusts/datasets/fundedoccupationalpensionschemesintheuk

Every major bank refused doing business with Trump decades ago due to his bad reputation for defrauding and harassing top Deutsche Bank loan office managers. And some banks had been burned by him before. He took out huge loans based on fraudulently claiming assets he had were a far higher value than what they were, demanded a lower interest rate and extensions on loans, which were initially denied. So Trump threatened and flatly stated he wouldn't pay, and if they didn't give in and change the terms to what he wanted he said he'd default entirely and not pay anything back. Look up who Nicholas Haigh is. He was Deutsche Bank's head of risk management for its private wealth management unit and played a pivotal role in approving and overseeing loans to Trump's company. Haigh personally reviewed Trump's financial statements and was involved in setting key loan terms, such as requiring Trump to maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5 billion (excluding brand value) as a covenant for the $125 million Doral golf resort loan Haigh testified that the bank relied heavily on Trump's statements of financial condition when making lending decisions, and that he would not have authorized the loans if he had known those statements were inflated. But take in consideration Deutsche Bank was struggling, and well known for being shady and corrupt, a friend to criminals needing to launder cash. Trump had a long history with them for good reason. But that relationship was always fraught. Around 1995 Trump defaulted on more than $3 billion in bank debt related to his casino and hotel empire following financial struggles. As a result, these lenders (not yet DB) seized the Plaza Hotel and many other Trump properties in a restructuring that avoided personal bankruptcy.  By 2008 Trump’s company took a $640 million loan from Deutsche Bank for the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, being unable to get loans from other banks. During the 2008 financial crisis, condo sales lagged and Trump’s LLC defaulted on this loan. Just one of many times he uses other people's money to make a terrible deal that never went right. The infamous Trump SoHo with Russians was another. He often leaves banks, private lenders and building contractors on the hook, not honoring contracts or paying his bills. He surely thinks he can do this to Americas debt too- spend like mad on projects that benefit him, but he'll walk away having increased the debt so high the US might well default. When it does, the economy tanks. And he'll have billions to buy up assets cheap.

I wonder that DB (Deutsche Bank) has to say about it.

upside_win222

I keep saying that MDB (noSQL) is perfectly poised to capture unstructured AI data and generate embeddings and that it is a real contender in the DB space, but I keep getting downvoted. Redditors are way too rigid (heh) in their belief that SQL is king.

Deutsche Bank's research team recently had a discussion with Glenn Gabe, President at G-Squared Interactive, which provides Search Engine Optimization (SEO) consulting services with a focus on recovering from major Google algorithm updates. The conversation focused on navigating the current Search landscape and the impact AI Overviews are having to the digital advertising market, and Google's competitive positioning in the marketplace in particular. According to DB, one of the five key takes from the call was that $RDDT would do just fine with $GOOGL's major algorithm update in December 2025. Google typically rolls out these "massive" broad core updates 3-4 times a year. Prior to December, the last one was in June 2025, with several smaller updates in between. In his blog (link below), Mr. Gabe noted the complex update impacted all Google surfaces, which affected traffic for sites like Quora, but there was no disruption for $RDDT. On the DB call he emphasized the updates focus on promoting 1) authentic human content, that is 2) valuable to users, which 3) drives significant user engagement. [https://www.gsqi.com/marketing-blog/google-december-2025-broad-core-update-analysis-findings/](https://www.gsqi.com/marketing-blog/google-december-2025-broad-core-update-analysis-findings/) In our view, $FORA checks the box on all these three critical metrics just like $RDDT. Thus, while investors focus on a potential loss of traffic from Google, we think VerticalScope's unique content will insulate it from this outcome.

I guess it depends if your circle is the knitting circle from church, the plumbers union, or a finance/tech/corporation? Most of the people I know interact with AI on a daily basis for many things (including cat pictures). Backend DB, voip, software, psychologist, lawyer, etc. Nothing is perfect and they are more sr positions which arent being replaced, but their productivity has gone up and are making more money, so I guess someone is using it.

upside_win222

I didn't buy puts on oracle, but I am playing MDB. Relational DBs aren't going anywhere but in the age of AI, document based DBs are the best for processing unstructured/semi structured data. When you add vector search and the best reranker (voyageAI) for RAG, Mongo is the play. I'm betting that MDB has a seat next to the big boy DB table right next to oracle. In fact, my hot take is that MDB will one day overtake ORCL in terms of market cap.

upside_win222

Huge hit in the saas space today. I'm buying more MDB on this dip. It's the DB of AI and the future.

upside_win222

What's the software layer for storing all this AI data? DBaaS. MongoDB. Document based DB perfect for vector search and AI embeddings.

upside_win222

Physical memory is important yes, but I've been thinking out of the box and looking at the DB storage layer (DBaaS). With the rise of AI, I think MDB is still an underrated play. With their best in class Voyage-Rerank and rise in unstructured/semi structured data being massively generated from AI apps, I can see them having a seat right next to the big boy ORCL. Maybe even overtake ORCL... :O

upside_win222

I've said it before and I said it again. MongoDB is the DB of AI and the future. The dip to $400 last week was a gift.

True WRT comparing to others. But I have a DB pension. I think my risk model has always assumed I'm a day away from being unemployed when the opposite is more true

OpeDefinitely

Nope. The 2018 rule is about lowering one's head to make contact. During the play in question, a receiver and DB were hand-fighting within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. WR is able to break free by pushing off the DB's chest and head. Then the receiver got open down the field for a catch. In this case, the contact that the WR made to the DB's head is not illegal in its own right. The DB isn't defenseless; there was no tackle to the head; there was no leading with the head; and etc. No personal foul is applicable. The receiver was called for offensive pass interference. Not for contacting the DB's head in particular, but for making any sort of contact at all. Because this happened within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, there is much debate on Twitter about whether the OPI was legitimate. OPI is a tricky call. Usually, this kind of play isn't called for OPI so most people are saying that the call was bad. The person I'm arguing with basically agrees with the general consensus that the OPI was bad, but that it would've been a personal foul otherwise. But it absolutely wouldn't have been a personal foul.

OpeDefinitely

Well, he did ask me to show him the part of the NFL rulebook that explicitly states that receivers can make contact with DB's heads within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. I sent him all relevant parts of the NFL rulebook, then explained that the rulebook only explicitly states illegal acts and that everything else is legal.

I’ve seen too many cases where companies spent hundreds of thousands in PATH licenses to update an application DB table; when a few lines of SQL and a scheduler were all that was needed. PATH developers are hammers and to them everything is a nail. There are legitimate cases for PATH, don’t get me wrong, but in my experience PATH developers have tunnel vision and must justify their overpriced existence by over engineering every project.

I had some oracle stock I bought around 20 years ago and just left it alone. Wasn't much, but something like 670% return on it. I just dumped it. I'll preface it with I don't often dig deep into financials, and am mostly in ETFs, but I've worked in tech for some time. Oracle and HP have both 'chased cloud' including when I worked at one of them, but few really bite (versus Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, generally in that order of adoption). Literally I can see a new piece of software and call out - this must be an Oracle product, because it's unintuitive and awful, unless it was an acquisition. Kudos to Larry for keeping the money flowing and the company alive all this time, but I inherently feel they are still trying to find a post-oracle-db (which in itself is kind of a mess, also IMO) 'thing' to latch onto. It's not surprising they 'teamed up' with OpenAI as I keep watching them just trying to remain relevant. To me, they feel like IBM - used to be a pretty amazing company, but now, would I bet the farm/house/future on them? Hell no. If we look across their domains, I just don't see it. Yes, they still have some amount of oracle DB activity - most likely the same groups of companies that were continuing purchase IBM mainframes, e.g. some financial and big industries it's just too painful to move off of. Meanwhile, a good number of others have moved on. ERP and CRM - Their ERP offerings are awful. Someone is still buying them, but they're pitiful and a huge PITA for the users and for customization. CRM - sorry, salesforce and others eat their lunch. Cloud - already covered. a perpetual 'chaser' vs the big guys IMO. They have bought some companies, I think in healthcare and retail - don't know if they're big enough to keep much of the rest of the company afloat. They also have some stuff in the utility sector, but they're far from a market leader there either. Yeah, they sadly bought Sun way back and now own Java. I'm sure there's some amount of revenue there, but doubt it's all that much for a company of their size. Note they aren't trying to compete on the LLM/large AI model front, which is probably better for them as I don't think they'd hold up to Google or others working in the space, so what do they do - offer hosting and such to still claim 'look, AI!' and try to ride another wave to relevance, and does some integration into some of their generally crappy products. I had to evaluate an enterprise Oracle product for a specific purpose a few years back. Starting out at around 20+ possibles, I built out a pretty comprehensive evaluation plan and 'scorecard' versus weighted scenarios/plans we needed to solve for. At the end, there were 4-5 left and I kept Oracle in the running, mostly because 'older management' wanted them there. Numerous engagements with deep dives with all of them. Oracle talked a good game, and pretended they had some 'special sauce' akin to domain specific 'AI.' Without too many details, let's just say within 5 minutes I had the product massively embarrassing itself. The Oracle offering was dated and seriously outclassed by the others in the final rounds. We did not purchase the Oracle offering - with good reasons. TLDR: Dump it into index funds and be done, unless NVDA, GOOGL, or MSFT have big dips. Or roll the dice; whatever. ;)

You're right that FWA is the clearest use case today, but you're significantly understating the problems with current solutions. Analog/hybrid solutions still have pain points; mmWave FWA Gbit/s rates have been proven for distances of several kms under Line-of-Sight conditions, but based on simulations, assuming 3GPP rural macro models, the fraction of non-Line-of-Sight users is still 27% over a 500m cell size, 47% over a 1000m cell size and 60% over a 1500m cell size. As we know, analog beamforming handles nLoS very poorly. In the presentation Beammwave gave an example measurement of a 64 antenna FWA system (RX performance, NR-FR2, 2 MIMO layers) where their digital beamforming performed 40% better over analog in a LoS environment (losing to ideal DB by only some few %) and 300% better over analog in an nLoS environment (losing to ideal DB by only some few %). So, analog systems have the capacity, but the networks need to be unnecessarily dense and are tricky to install due to the line-of-sight shortcomings of the analog systems. This is not "FWA is working fine". Being able to harvest the nLoS energy and getting to basically self-installable hardware due to not being directionally fussy anymore will save the operators literal billions of dollars on less dense and service-intensive networks, and that's totally in line with the claim that operators are screaming for a solution, and that there's customer urgency. Besides, the bill of materials for building FWA on Beammwave chips seems like it might outcompete analog systems as well, if Beammwave manages to hit the 1-2 USD per chip price range they've mentioned in the past. In general I think you're overindexing on the US/western markets, where I think you're mostly right that mmWave isn't in vogue (where by the way T-mobile told the FCC they gave back their spectrum precisely because they couldn't meet coverage requirements due to the LoS propagation characteristics that made it too expensive to cover large areas with their massive analog panels - this could be done easily with small cell deployments of a distributed architecture).

Debt is a concern. Although using their db as the database layer to train company specific AI use cases like I mentioned is a potential to grow. You’re right that the DB revenue has fallen but cloud revue is up 34%. You might be right but time will tell. For now, 180 look like a great support.

Fickle_Rest5915

I completely agree there, it seems like the DB business has been placed on the back burner.

Clear_Anything1232

Did you see their database revenues? They are shrinking. They are betting the whole farm on data center revenues. Their DB revenues are insignificant next to the large bets they are taking. So you can just round them off to zero and focus on the cloud and debt parts.

Clear_Anything1232

They are not a DB company anymore You are setting money on fire Just like orcl

For 24/7 trading sessions. Brokers & market makers will need to overhaul many parts of their systems. For instance, regulatory reporting systems are often developed from the ground up leveraging the downtime, to exert extra load on the DB, while no one is trading. Companies often opt for saving some of the technical complexity costs associated with running a server 24/7 by scheduling a nightly restart. Operational cost are a thing to consider as well, as you’ll need to run a 24/7 full hands on deck operation (IT & risk, brokerage,…). How much are you going to pay people to be there at 12:00AM on a Saturday night?

IBM still does a ton of R&D though. Oracle just sits back on their licensing costs and shitty DB engine

BEcause Meta and NVIDIA already had oracle DB that they wanted to move to cloud, not because they think the product is supperior.

IllustriousLetter898

Jumped on a call with Oracle sales, super hyped, but they flat‑out told me: “Unless the client is already heavy on Oracle Databases, it doesn’t make sense to migrate.” That was their actual line. Oracle DB is solid tech, but it’s pricey compared to PostgreSQL, MySQL, or even SQL Server. And while managing infra isn’t rocket science, finding Oracle talent is expensive. Companies often lean on offshore consulting firms where wages are lower, then bring engineers to the US on H1B visas at capped rates. Only years later, once permanent residency hits, salaries normalize to US market levels. The frustration isn’t with the engineers (many are brilliant), but with a system that distorts incentives and keeps wages artificially suppressed for too long. Politicians love to rant about “not enough qualified Americans,” but the reality is there aren’t enough people, of any nationality, willing to do these roles at the rates companies have gotten used to. With AI reshaping jobs fast, this whole setup is going to make displacement even messier. Unsure how to feel about OCI earnings debt. Not mention who's powerbill or they paying for a stand alone NG rig. Another CAPX AI play. Lots of puts here, Options IV 100.8%.

Isn't DB big enough that there's probably separate divisions long and short?

Congratulations on the win! But which idiots would choose Mongo DB over Oracle? /s

Adventurous-Date9971

Keep Claude costs sane by capping tokens and using a two-pass flow. Plan on gpt-4o-mini or Mistral small, have Claude do final drafts; BYOK and per-user budgets via Kong. With Supabase auth and Kong caps, DreamFactory can expose read-only DB REST so prompts stay short. Net: structure first, tokens last.

Their overall market share of DB market is between 2-5% with a lot of runway to grow. It’s a well run organization with strong fundamentals, and consistently outperforms on earnings. 

upside_win222

Geez bro turn down the temperature. I admit I am an older school backend developer working in a business where relational DB is easier to query from.

KneeOk2960

Thank you! Is it a perfect use case for all types of workloads?! No! Is it great for other types of workloads! Yes! Do companies have different needs and based on that workload type can use multiple DB at systems for that?! Absolutely! Lol@ SQL 4 Life guy 

grizzly_teddy

> relational is the way to go for enterprise apps. You have zero fucking clue what you're talking about. Every system is different. Relational DBs are great at many things, certainly not everything. Instead of spouting bullshit on reddit, just ask chatgpt, "Why would an enterprise solution prefer NoSql solutions over a relational SQL DB solution?" You don't get it because you're an idiot, and an idiot who can't be bothered to do a simple search

Acu-hiredthrowaway

Right so that is not true. There are many applications at banks that are a better fit for a NoSQL DB. For instance most of the largest wealth management mobile apps use NoSQL databases for good reason

Is your dad a software developer? if he is, he will laugh at you for suggesting document based DB's are better than relationional.

TPUs make sense when you can batch big, stay in XLA (JAX/TF or PyTorch/XLA), and you’re chasing a clear 20–30% cost gap after the engineering work; otherwise GPUs remain the low-friction choice. You don’t need a full rewrite if you avoided custom CUDA kernels and stuck to high‑level ops; the pain is in replacing fused CUDA bits, debugging PyTorch/XLA quirks, and re-tuning input pipelines. TPUs shine on dense training and large batched inference; small, dynamic, RAG-style services still run smoother on GPUs with vLLM. If you want multi-vendor leverage: design for stateless inference, keep embeddings/vector stores portable (pgvector or Pinecone), and add client retries with circuit breakers. Compare committed-use TPU v5e/v5p vs A100/H100 pricing net of egress, and insist on capacity guarantees; the discount has to justify the rewrite. Gemini 3 helps GCP win specific training deals, but Azure’s M365 gravity still anchors a lot of inference. I’ve used Kong and Apigee to gate LLM calls, while DreamFactory exposed Postgres/Mongo as clean REST for RAG so models never touch the DB. Net: only pivot if the cost delta and capacity are real; otherwise run hybrid and avoid deep lock‑in.

Moist_Astronomer6976

AI ROI is real today; the investable question is unit economics and refresh cadence, not whether use cases exist. In our shop, a narrow LLM triage cut support cost per contact from 4.80 to 2.10 with 32% deflection and a 7-day sticky-close metric; document intake (OCR + rules) took claim cycle time from \~3 days to under 8 hours, with errors down from 11% to 3%. Coding assist lifted throughput \~25% without raising rework. On hardware, treat it like servers: plan 3-year depreciation, target 50%+ utilization, and assume 20–40% residuals on resale; paybacks penciled at 12–18 months when we batch/quantize and cache. Track cost per 1k tokens, GPU hours per resolved ticket/report, and margin per watt; under those thresholds, rent GPUs. We use Azure OpenAI for summaries and ServiceNow for workflow, and DreamFactory fronts Snowflake and SQL Server with RBAC APIs so agents can read/write without DB creds. For investing, watch power-constrained DC capacity, inference pricing trends, and who actually shows reduced SG&A from AI in filings. The real thesis is payback and utilization, not whether AI matters.

Moist_Astronomer6976

TPUs shine for big, steady transformer jobs you control end to end, but GPUs win on flexibility and time to ship. Most stacks are PyTorch/CUDA; JAX/XLA on TPU is fast but porting hurts, and custom kernels/MoE/vision still favor H100/L40S or MI300. v5e/v5p are great perf/watt for int8/bfloat16 dense matmuls, less so for mixed workloads. On-prem TPUs are rare; independents buy GPUs because drivers, support, and resale, while trading shops with tight regs sometimes get TPU pods via Google. Practical play: rent TPUs on GCP for batch training, keep inference on GPUs with TensorRT-LLM or vLLM. We use vLLM and Grafana, and DreamFactory just fronts Postgres as a REST API so models pull features without DB creds. Net: TPUs for fixed scale, GPUs for versatility.

DB was shorting market with Burry 2 weeks ago and today has a 8000 target on SPX by end of 2026?

QwertzOne

I think it depends on specific ecosystem and choice for each company was probably made long time ago and once you're in Oracle or MS SQL ecosystem, it becomes hard to justify change. I remember that 15-20 years ago, it was all about choice between MS SQL and Oracle, because these were enterprise databases, DBAs (DB administrators) specialized and certified in one of these database ecosystems and they were considered important. Some people preferred Java and Oracle, some people sticked to .NET, Microsoft and MS SQL, but both these options provided enterprise support, so you'd rather pick Oracle/MS SQL and get consultants to fix it, if needed, rather than pick MySQL/PostgreSQL and be left alone with problems.

aaron_dresden

My company still uses Oracle. If you look online there’s heaps of companies still using them. I think it’s overstating it to not see Oracle DBs around. It just common to also see other providers and open source DB’s around these days as well in businesses.

ahyesmyelbows

And it's so wild because I've never used Oracle databases as an SW engineer. Sure I use Postgres a lot, and Microsoft DB (wait I forgot its name already), SQLite, and I know the non-SQL stuff is popular these days. Surely Oracle has a lot of other bloop too, but what? Java? Is it even that used anymore? I suppose they have some corporate crap and services that I'm too poor to use.

Zuck is a complete DB BUT he’s far from a bad CEO.

Adventurous-Date9971

OCI looks solid if margin lift tracks utilization and database attach. On recent builds, Autonomous DB plus RDMA kept unit costs sane; key tells are backlog burn, capex per new ARR, GPU deliveries, and Azure interconnect activity. I’ve run Kong for APIs and Datadog for telemetry, with DreamFactory generating REST over Oracle/SQL Server to speed integrations. If utilization and attach rates trend up alongside backlog conversion, the dip is worth a nibble; if capacity sits idle, it’s a pass.

Just imagine that your main product is a software that solely relies on sensors, that you don't produce and quite frankly not enough in the world. And hey, they all different so it's whole zoo of products that you need to track, speak with manufacturers and so on. You imagine the clusterfuck?) while you were a DB surfer and showed the magic of Excel to the military with bells and whistles — they praised you, but now they know and are not so stunned by what it is in reality.
