MySQL offers some of the features as Oracle Database 12c, however, there are many crucial ones that are missed. Features such as OLAP, really make Oracle Database 12c a clear winner here. We use both databases in our organization for separate reasons, MySQL for prototyping, and …
Of course compare to no SQL databases it's slower but there is a completely different use case for them... In my opinion it is better than PostgreSQL, it's easier to configure and has the same performance, or approximately the same. Of course Oracle Database is a way bigger …
As I have been commenting in our company, we have solved our performance problems and responses obtaining speed in the queries occupies less disk space, in addition to its price and all the tools of great Scope it possesses.
Having used both PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server, I can tell that MySQL performs admirably in a Linux setting. When compared to Microsoft SQL Server, the extra benefit is the minimal or nonexistent licence fee. We find that MySQL's programming interface is particularly …
Before MySQL, our team was exploring and evaluating different options for a good RDMS (relational database management system) service. We explored Oracle, MSSQL, and Google BigQuery. Most of these are costly and not easy to maintain in the long run in terms of price especially …
MySQL has most of the functionality of other, very costly, alternatives without the big price tag. It is open-source with improvements coming at a relatively good rate. It is not as robust as those other offerings and can have some challenging points at scale for large …
Microsoft SQL can be considered as an enterprise level software since it is recommended for large businesses. Microsoft SQL has some unique categories like big data processing, DBMS, etc. whereas MySQL is not capable of handling such features. I guess this is how these both …
I would choose Oracle 11g, 12c for more complex ventures which require financials and complex logic. I would choose MySQL for simpler applications which simply need to interface data to a backend. I selected MySQL in this case because it is free and much simpler to install—it …
Familiarity: With MySQL, I know what to expect, and that goes a long way. Also, since it adheres fairly close to SQL '92, It's relatively easy to construct queries, views, etc. without a steep learning curve. Also, RAM usage is important (this is true of any RDBMS …
We have used Oracle as our clinical databases that stores patient records. In this project we didn't used Oracle but separately built MySQL based data infrastructure as this is an independent scientific research project. Oracle is great overall, with most of functionalities …
I've used both Oracle and MySQL. I like both database technologies. Both of them provide great solutions. Each one has their own benefits based on the requirement and right environment. The point is to find the right environment to use and compare price/performance/scalability.
MySQL: I used MySQL as part of an old CRM. I think that's also light. But, Oracle seems to have better speed and reliability. DB2: I used DB2 mainly on mainframe and z/OS. I always felt that it's cumbersome to access and write queries on DB2.
MySQL does not provide anywhere near the user interface or features that Oracle Database 12c provides. Building REST endpoints on MySQL is a much more challenging process and integrating it with a web app is much more complicated than building an ORDS endpoint within the Oracle …
We currently use all of the above database technologies in different applications, but where the application is mission-critical we use Oracle. Microsoft SQL Server is good for canned applications such as back-office or HR. MySQL does not have the same level of logging or …
IBM DB2 is extremely heavy as compared to Oracle and is expensive for the price we pay for the product. MySQL doesn’t have most of the features that Oracle has.
Oracle Database is best in business, consistent, and robust. Even the standard version is sufficient for the best performance. The main thing is I have never seen corruption and in my opinion, it is best when used with Linux.

Microsoft SQL is just as stable and almost as sellable with a much lower cost of ownership (staff and licensing). But as our primary application doesn't support Microsoft SQL we had to license Oracle.
Exadata is expensive and we decided to switch to 12c for the sake of consolidating and keep up with Oracles initiative to move towards cloud. Maybe in the future.
Oracle 12c is good for all business applications but still consider Microsoft SQLServer for internal/other applications to save on cost.

Oracle is more of an enterprise-level database than Access and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise isn't getting developed much (some people wonder how close it is to end of life) but SQL Server is miles ahead of Oracle IMO in terms of user experience and comparable in terms of …
Oracle 12c is able to support daily operations that might be required. Of course, Exadata is a powerful machine that is definitely fit for big scale but requires high demand of both CPU, IO, and memory processing. Also the one engineered system saves lots of time to build the …
It's the Oracle Support that beats everything else, and a solid contract. Also, all the other features that support Oracle are way ahead of other products.
Oracle completed solution and support is of cause better than open source solutions, we also choose other NoSQL database and Graph database, to address some very particular business use cases
It's easy to scale an Oracle database compared to any others, it's easy to manage many Oracle databases together with lots of administrative and security features.
1. The commercial application required an Oracle database running at the back end 2. Existing Oracle expertise makes it easy to manage an Oracle database 3. Confidence in Oracle databases: No need to worry about performance, scalability.
For some implementations in my company, Oracle Database was selected because all the support, experience, features, continuing development, etc that the product and Oracle's company has been providing so far, but also, it was selected by the system's company that my …
