Oracle is destined to beat Amazon at cloud database: Larry Ellison

If Oracle is doing well, it's in part to their strong arm techniques with their customers. A couple of years ago, Oracle sent notices to customers that they had audited their licenses. Many companies keep poor track and would likely be in trouble. However, if you chose to upgrade to the next version, the Oracle sales guy took care of any issues that you previously had.

This, there's no reason to use oracle in 2019 when Postgres is this mature. You can setup a new database in 5 mins and you wont have to change the config files until it starts getting larger than the memory of the server it runs on. Setting up standby servers, clusters and backups can be done by an amateur with some google skills. No sane company starts a new project in oracle.

Often, you don't have a choice but to invest in a shitty tool because it has a shiny logo and you need to pay your bills.

giving my 2 cents here as a techie(also, ocassionally calling out Larry's bs): 00:50: "Amazon does not use AWS to run their business and runs their whole business on top of Oracle" [BS. They do use AWS all the time] 01:00: "They have been unable to migrate to AWS" [As of 2020, Amazon Consumer business has shut down its last Oracle DB] 01:38: "...Amazon tried to migrate away from Oracle and went down" [Any engineer worth their salt can tell you, any kind of data migration from any source to any destination is prone to failure. Once the outage due to transit is resolved, the migration succeeds ] 01:50: "...Oracle db manages most of the world's DBs" [True, but this is fast changing. Oracle, due to its licensing policies and its other corporate shackles, is falling out of good books of devs, especially when there are equally good, if not better, open source alternatives available]

Dear Mr.Ellison, I have been following Oracle's growth and I have admired / followed your work for year's. I belive Oracle to be the best software solution in the world period. On this note, I think that with the correct equation's Oracle could compete and very well over take AWS. I have conducted an social experiment and I have found that the majority of end user lean toward AWS due to three exact causes. 1. AWS is Fast, Cheap and Easy. 2. AWS is super super super simple. 3. AWS has a 24 instant support line for there product. 1. I belive that if you took Oracle and refined the software into a more simple version just for cloud computing, something a lot more user friendly, then you would see a very large increase in sales. Worrie about the more comlex systems later in the contract. 2. Offer the best software customer service in the world. 3. Make the Cloud package readly available. No phone calls, no emails, and simple to get started / check out. I belive that the advantages to Oracle are in it's complexities, how ever for a first time user it is to much at first sight. So if you started with a very simple package that is super user friendly, then I belive you would see a significant increase in sales. Eventually, end users are going to reqest some of the more complexe features, so if you were to offer the features in packages this would be a great.

As a CEO, I understand Larry's sentiment and statement to stay positive and potential to use Oracle's years of experience in the databases space.

[@gtopcu]

Well with a background on all fronts - SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, AWS - I truly agree with every word Larry says. Oracle DB has great engineering behind it. The only problem of using it today in any new architecture is what Oracle did to Java and all other services - "Corporate Greed". Otherwise, I would still be biasing most of our new global SaaS on this solid database. And your competition with AWS is so out of league. So no, it is not a database or technical choice anymore, Oracle just made us tech guys and customers hate them for their Java, licensing strategy & army of lawyers. What are we left with? AWS Aurora & PostgreSQL unfortunately, although we know they are nowhere as advanced as the core OracleDB. Sorry Larry, being the best tech guy doesn't help if people doesn't trust in your company. This has always been the true reason why Oracle has no future as of today.

I have been supporting Oracle databases last 13 years and I have seen things changing over time. Yes , Oracle was the best solution some 15 years back till last 7 years back.

[@pacsum]

I can tell you that Amazon has, since 2018, started migrating all the services to internal solutions.

[@malcorub]

Amazon AWS is the pioneer in cloud computing. Microsoft Azure is catching up because so many business use MS products for their enterprise solutions. Google Cloud's advantage is that they are well versed in BIG DATA. Oracle.... I don't even know where they fall in line when it comes to big cloud solutions.

[@skhochay]

I have been DBA for the last 20+ years, working with a lot of databases. In a relational database, Oracle is definitely the best database and the most expensive too. in NoSQL - Cassandra is. But in today's world data comes with different shapes and forms, no longer normalized or denormalize, just bulk and then comes Hadoop and Elastic Serch, so as you can see one particular database can't be a winner, it depends what you want to do with a data?

He was way ahead of the curve when proposed the Network Computer which would be cloud computers in today's standards. The problem is execution, he is a prodigious salesman, but a less than stellar CEO. Oracle DB was his best initiative, most of the companies he has bought failed or dwindle.

I used Microsoft SQL Server in a few jobs and trained as a DBA and was both a developer and DBA in those jobs. I have also had the misfortune to use Oracle in a couple of jobs, as a developer, and my experience is that it is a much harder to use product and way overpriced for what it offers. I would never use Oracle again if I had the choice of database systems.

[@laurejon]

I for one would not like to be the CIO sitting in front of the board explaining our recent security incident that had millions of our clients financial details scattered across the internet because we thought open source economies came before our clients security and data integrity. Oracle is a name that we will trust in the business for a very very long time to come.

[@depizixuri58]

I don't know Amazon databse, but Oracle is trapped on the 70's. Oracle databases are unmaintainable. They don't even support basic types like boolean, his documentation is awful, and the community is toxic.

[@jetamoeba2313]

Lmao, I can't believe this is actually true. I just Googled a bunch of stuff on Oracle boolean values not being a thing, and it's ridiculous lol. That's like the most primitive data type.

[@depizixuri58]

@@jetamoeba2313 I asked for this on the very Oracle support forum, and the people responsible for designing Oracle gave me the most ridiculous excuses for it. It is just beyond belief. Unacceptable and unbelievable. But that is just the start of the programming hell. The database needs to be maintained very close to metal, or it may go very wrong as the data sizes grow.

[@CristianCiupitu]

Right from the docs: > A BOOLEAN data type enables you to represent logical values. In code, BOOLEAN values are represented by values for "no" and "yes" (in any combination of uppercase and lowercase characters). -- docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/olap.102/b14346/dml_datatypes004.htm

Jayzuz if Oracle Database was so good why didn't they go to the cloud 10 years ago? I remember Ellison thinking that the cloud was a fashion thing 10 years ago. He didn't believe in it. Actually, Oracle is just a database. Amazon is a Cloud. Oracle has 0.5% of cloud market. AWS has over 50%.

Werner Vogels declared officially that as of November 2018, they migrated from last internal Oracle database so no longer use Oracle with any of Amazon business app. Those who want to move off from Oracle to Aurora which is cross compatible with Postrgres they offer db migration services, which if you have chance to explore be amazed how much of prep work does to facilitate thorough and consistent migration. It is not a click and done solution for complex database, or who use Oracle with COTS products as this should be differed to vendors, but those who had built in-house app, but realize that commercialized technologies no longer are only option, docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/index.html#lang/en_us
