The DoD funded a lot of the early development of relational databases, along with internet protocol. Working for the cia was probably the least of ellisons sins. Really bad company, but solid DB.
I think we all know it actually stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
To be honest, until now I always thought it was because of Oracles.
Wind gusts are crazy today the way jokes are flying over heads
The worst DB in existence, not to defend Oracle, is blockchain.
Based on what? It’s top notch for immutability, zero trust, proof of existence, accountability, transparency, uptime, decentralization, network resilience…
What about throughput, latency, schema modeling, query load balancing/routing, operational tooling? How easily can I write a CRUD or line of business service using it?
Blockchain isn’t a Database, and the worst one is AS400.
A400 is at least relational.
MongoDB on the other hand…
All data is, or will become, relational.
I am a big SQL fan but not all data has to be relational.
Let’s say I want the GPS coordinates of ten million vehicles every 5 seconds. I have a vehicle id, a timestamp, and coordinates. I do not care if a few writes get lost. Why does this have to be relational?
And perhaps I also record other info that may change from vehicle to vehicle. Perhaps just values that are true if present. DoorOpen, BrakeApplied, LightsOn, LightBarOn, EngineOn, etc. I may only be displaying this data in a UI. I may get different values from every vehicle or even every write. There is no “schema”. I mean, I can have a JSON field or something in my relational table? But this is not exactly relational anymore.
Correct not all data has to be relational but it will always eventually become relational. You will at one point want to pair that vehicle id to a vehicle and then again to something else.
Hahaha this is cartoonishly evil, surely it can’t be true!
Next you’ll tell me Ellison invests in creepy life extension projects and gives an insane amount of money to post-fascist politicians!
Don’t forget the support for genocide.
Oracle is not the worse DB in existence. They are a worse company than MS, but I’d much rather be talking to Oracle than MSSQL.
(My go-to is PostgreSQL, tho.)
MSSQLMS is goat tho
Ah, that answers the question “when did oracle become so evil?”
“Become”?
Yeah, from the beginning
“intelligence” <—> incompetence
