Oracle is a piece of shit!

Everytime I used Oracle I can't help but wonder "there are people who rave about Oracle? Who are those people!? :O"

That is all I have to say, nothing more to add... Although.. I do wonder why people are *still* using Oracle! :O I mean, if you hate MS, why not use MySql instead?

Doesn't Oracle own MySQL these days?

For the same reason that MS has hardly ever lost business customers, no matter their antics: they have enough money to ensure continuance of service. Ever since Db4, I've been wondering why more people don't write their own databases. It ain't rocket surgery -- and if you don't use sql, there ain't no sql injection.

I'm working on SQLServer nowadays, but I would prefer Oracle. I think it's a lot to do with on what system you learned SQL. SQLServer is more forgiving than Oracle though, it's a bit like comparing VB with C#.

A few years ago I got saddled with having to work with Oracle and thought I would brush up on it (I had not used it in a decade). When I ran across an article by an Oracle DBA who praised Oracle for their requirement for all caps on TABLE AND FIELD names I ducked on the project. There are many things to dislike about Oracle but that was a deal breaker. Oh yeah and the POS Toad is another one.

They are Oracle consultants who get very rich from people using Oracle.

The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare Home | LinkedIn | Google+ | Twitter

MySql is also owned by Oracle! ;P I'm actually surprised that it still exists and is free and open source. I would have thought that Oracle would have either retired it or made it a paid product by now. :doh: And seriously, after having worked with MySql: It's crap too! I would never, ever use it myself in a production system. It's a Mickey Mouse database system that is good for nothing but small homemade websites with minimal database requirements! X|

There is no such requirement, default behaviour is case insensitive. If you want them case sensitive you need to wrap them in double quotes
"", same as[]on SQLServer. Personally I find the limit of 30 characters for Table and Column names a lot worse.Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello

My company uses a lot of Oracle. Luckily I'm in the SQL Server team. Just this week a coworker from another team said to me "SQL Server is not a real database." I replied "For a not-database it has awesome tooling compared to the much more expensive Oracle." His mouth disagreed, but I'm pretty sure his heart knew I was right :)

Yes! that! :D I rather work with "Not a database" which is awesome than a so called "real database" that can only be used remotely close to 10% efficiency by "real DBA"

I agree , for me I have a lot of time for Postgres - bit of a learning curve if you're from MS background but worth the effort.
