Oracle users are masochists.

I understand corporate inertia and tech debt, I really do, I’m in the dev business. But FFS, I can’t imagine why people still do business with Oracle.

Same for SQL Server. One of our products required some customers to upgrade from SQL Server Express to the real deal. Guess who was tasked with figuring licensing? What a damn nightmare. If we weren’t sunsetting that product, I’d be pushing to convert to PostgreSQL.

For existing installation’s I can understand why oracle is still in use. For any new build I really can’t fathom why anyone would reach for oracle over Postgres other than ignorance.
