IBM creates 24-core Power chip so customers can exploit Oracle database license
Serious question: Can someone explain to me why would someone still be using Oracle in 2022 when we have equally capable or even superior open source alternatives like PostgreSQL, which have none of these shenanigans? Maybe legacy software that would be expensive to rewrite?I'm a backend developer and I regularly kickstart systems (and get to choose which components we are going to use in the stack) and I fail to grasp in what kind of project I'd need to be to even consider "this might need us to bring Oracle to the table". Again, honest to goodness question, looking to learn. Is there some edge to Oracle compared to the FOSS stuff that I'm not aware?
