Oracle is such a terrible company for their customers it makes a ton of sense to try to get them to switch to a less abusive company

My coworker used to work with Oracle at his last job, and he took an architect position at my company near the start of development. There’s a reason we use Postgres at our org…

Some of our customers rely on Oracle’s database system, because history. Sadly, we can’t teach them.

True, and I keep those folks in my prayers.

But if you’re on MySQL it’s a lot less of a lift to switch to MariaDB than it is to go to Postgres, even if Postgres is better in some ways.

I rewrote the last remaining MySQL-based software of mine this year because I didn’t want to have MariaDB just for this one tool. Everything else had already been migrated. PostgreSQL is much faster in my tests.
