So why does /o/ hate Oracle so much as if they were scum?

They buy open source shit and put burdensome licenses on it to make it garbage.

Larry Ellison is a manipulative business man. He's former CIA, had the idea to get the government sector using Oracle and then it became impossible to switch out. Their products are powerful but their business tactics are too controlling. They push deals that heavily favor themselves and have a soft monopoly on certain enterprise solutions

Is Oracle SQL database any good? Is it better to just use Postgre?

if you have to ask, you don't really need it

Thier DB software is great for more enterprise, business level needs. Its overkill for anything smaller.

Because they're scum

Oracle is scum and everything it touches turns to shit. Sun spent years building rep over Java and its ecosystem only for them to cash it out and throw it away in a few years.
Oracle is nothing special if you aren't dealing with a legacy project. If you want proprietary, MS SQL Server is good and fairly priced, but the quality has been slipping. Then again, MS has allowed anything that isn't Azure or cloud to go to shit.

>hire third world engineers
>take jobs from native skilled labor
>consultants are god awful, literally just repeat the same garbage from their overlords about basic db concepts (constraints, proper indexing when necessary, etc.)
>web portal for their website looks like it was made by a high schooler
>shitty website performance
And that's just the small things.
DB:
>fucking have to specify every parameter possible to get decent performance
>TOAD for Oracle is fucking garbage
>doesn't even have a native db manager client, have to use sqlplus
>their version of a "schema" is completely different than every other db provider
I could keep going forever.
Also Ellison is a kike.

If you had to be a consultant and deal with contract-to-hire or staffing agency bullshit, you would be the same way. All you want is a stable job with a decent salary and benefits, and instead you have two, maybe three sets of bosses trying to exploit and get over on you. Nobody is going "to hire" or appreciate your good service or skill. The best you can hope for is to get your money and GTFO.

They took RHEL and are now selling it as Oracle Linux. They sell time-limited kernel live patching demos to RHEL customers to get them to move over. RHEL decided to pack their kernel patches into one huge patch for the sole reason of fucking with Oracle.

Understandable, but the job market for skilled people isn't exactly dead atm, if they actually wanted to improve their job they could just go somewhere else.

Oracle bought Sun Microsystems and turn their software proprietary. They *are* scum.

The most egregious thing they did was their treatment of OpenOffice
>Oracle buys sun, guts OpenOffice development team
>Outside devs know Oracle is evil, leave
>Oracle sees outside devs are leaving and stops developing OpenOffice entirely
>Developers form the Document Foundation, ask Oracle if they can have the OpenOffice name since Oracle isn't using it
>Oracle says "fuck you no"
>Never develops it
>Gives the name to Apache just to spite them

>not using gplv3

Back when Java was in everything:
>Java update every other week
>Time for your update user! Would you like to install (shit antivirus)?
>Click no
>No worries, just read through our license agreement (and download prechecked bloatware)
>Uncheck boxes
>Thanks for upgrading Java user, as a gift we've installed the shitty antivirus and the bloatware. Good luck spending half an hour uninstalling Norton antivirus from your machine ;)

They are not a tech company
They are a law firm that sells database

Lots of fun getting Oracle Java off all of our infrastructure.
Luckily we don't use Oracle DB, we use IBM DB2 instead.
