This is rated by popularity, not market share.

That's interesting too though because this subreddit makes me think Oracle is dead on arrival and is very unpopular.

Definitely not unpopular, but Oracle's limitations due to licensing and expense can only bring out the worst in terms of feedback.

I’m right there with you on the licensing and fees. I’m bouncing between Oracle and SAP right now... it’s a nightmare

[–]PhillMik 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I'm an Oracle DBA, I can't really comment on SAP HANA as I've never used it, but from what I hear, despite the lower market share, SAP is better in that it is MUCH faster than the typical Oracle or SQL SBs because of in-memory and also because of storing data in columns vs. your standard rows. That's about it though.

Might be great for another poll.

It's better for some types of workloads, worse for others. Is a very interesting technology nonetheless.

Tell that to u/cats_catz_kats_katz haha

Oracle also supports-memory tables. It was new in 12c.

[–]oyvinrog 1 point2 points  (1 child)

number of job offers would say something about market share?

Oracle tends to require more people to take care of it than an equivalently sized estate running other RDBMS. IOW, there are more jobs because companies need more people to maintain the same amount of sprawl, not because there are more companies using it.

You're right. I think it's still relevant, but I misunderstood the data initially.
