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
FPBP
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.
