Oracle Database Reviews

We are currently using the Oracle Database as a backend support for the client websites developed at the workplace. The clients are financial institutions all around the world so we have different data centers to ensure high availability. We also use Oracle to keep backups of the data in case of any disasters, so that the vital data could be recovered efficiently. A lot of departments are using Oracle in the company including developers, QA analysts, and the customer support team.

We use Oracle across the enterprise supporting applications using it as a back-end. We use it for both transactional and warehouse.

We use Oracle to support all of our customer (member) information and other OLTP transactions. We also use it for our ERP backbone, to support all incoming calls, service requests, security authorization and a data lake/warehouse. And many other business uses.

Oracle Database is being used for ecommerce application. Approximately 30% of world's ecommerce transactions are handled by our Oracle Database.

We have a 3 node RAC cluster replicating using active Data guard in to a DR site running our eCommerce site and we can switch sites with very minimal downtime. We are also using Exadata for our DW environment.

Oracle Database is a useful software that has enabled an organisation to practice data warehousing and also execute online transactions. It is being used in the IT department since it has a wide range of options in terms of supporting other platforms, measuring performance, and data mining thus solving various business problems.

Oracle RDBMS is used to store the database records to support out End User application.
It is the world's most popular database for running online transaction processing.
It interfaced with our JDBC Java: Oracle: thin application.
The driver class for the Oracle database is Oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.
Furthermore, JDBC is the API, Oracle is the database, thin is the driver, localhost is the server name on which Oracle is running.
Oracle Database may be licensed and deployed on-premises on a choice of platforms.
We were very satisfied with this.

Oracle Database is used in the IT department by software developers to add, edit, update and delete data. Once data is stored in the Oracle database, it can be accessed by different users according to their security permission level. Oracle Database's data consolidation, query optimization, partitioning, back up and recovery have been of importance to us.

We are a hospital. We use Oracle Database for all our in-house development (HIS, electronic records, Invoice, data warehouse). We develop a lot in PL/SQL and this makes it very simple to have it all in the same place.

We support large manufacturing companies that use Oracle DB for their ERP systems, financial systems and a number of business-critical systems. They run both standard and enterprise Oracle databases. It is efficient, performs well and is extremely reliable and robust. It allows the businesses to run in an efficient way, providing data quickly when needed for business analysis.

In the organization, we use the Oracle Database as the main repository of all the data of the institution at the national level, resulting from the services provided to the population in the areas of real estate and mortgages, trade, intellectual property, movable guarantees, geographical topics and the national cadastre.

The Oracle Database is used as a part of coursework at RIT. It is used to teach the concepts of database management and access. As a part of this course, all participating students, professors, teaching assistants are required to implement, use, and modify when and as required. Even though it is being used for a strictly academic purpose, most of the important features are utilized and well exercised. At times, these databases are also used to implement major projects. All in all, it does serve the purpose of learning since it is being used in an academic context very well. This includes learning about various database management techniques, implementation schemas, and other PL/SQL features.

Oracle database was used to fetch data stored in application, to know what data is stored and how it is stored in application. While troubleshooting any issues we encountered, we were using Oracle database for analyzing the data stored. Usually the Database and Application team were having the access to the database.
Instead of verifying the server logs, it was easy to identify the issues by using the database. Also using Oracle database it was easy and convenient to export the results in required format.

In previous employments I have used Oracle Databases in various scenarios. I developed applications and tools which mined data that was in Oracle Databases. Development test environments which I have previously used were backed by Oracle Databases. As well, I have supported security applications which were also backed by Oracle Databases.

Oracle is being used across the organization. Our product has been built based upon Oracle features. For online transactions, read consistency, performance, recovery and other tools are the key features. Our product is quite complex and quite heavy on processing. We run POC for similar products but those are nowhere near to Oracle like Maria DB, Postgre, SQL server, MySQL etc.

As a company focused primarily on marketing we do not have a very large database footprint. However we are using Oracle as our primary data storage solution. We've recently migrated from MySQL and the improvements have been quite noticeable. We are currently using Oracle 12c in our production environment.

It is used as a basis for Oracle E Business Suite, and we also use it for other custom applications and integrations.

Oracle Database was used by the Technical Product Management within the organization. Since we operated primarily with a multi-store Magento platform and Brightpearl POS, Oracle was seen as a good fit in order to manage product data for two of our largest lines to funnel into our two aforementioned platforms.

We currently use Oracle Database in the software development department, within the projects and products we offer to our clients. Oracle effectively resolves database management in an integrated way, especially when managing ambitious projects with medium and large companies.

Oracle Database is used primarily for permanent storage of relational application data that is supplied by its users, and for preparing reports based on that data. Oracle Database is also used to archive data, and to satisfy certain regulatory requirements to retain that data.

Oracle Database offers a slew of powerful tools to help create and manage almost any type of database. In our organization the product was used extensively to manage client data, service contracts, procurement operations, and cataloging pertinent research files. The product also offered upgrades based on our business needs and technical support was available around the clock.

Oracle Database is being used as a backend into a custom Distribution Management System (DMS) and Outage Management System (OMS), including modules for outage, voltage variation, fraudulent consumption, among others.

We use Oracle as our corporate database. Among the applications that store information in Oracle we have Oracle eBusiness Suite (our ERP, with several modules implemented), HFM, and several mission critical systems related to agri-business.

We opted for this platform after trying different products. Started with a proprietary application that took months to be usable and after a lot of work, it only covered less than half the areas we needed to monitor. We thought that Oracle Database was too big and expensive for our organization but we spent more trying solutions that at the end of the day did not meet our company needs. We needed to store a certain type and amount of web resources, content, news, emails, customer data, social media, and be able to extract and categorize this information to be analyzed by the different departments. Sounds pretty basic but our group consists of several business units, that were collecting information and storing it using different platforms not compatible between them. Oracle keeps all our information centralized and secured, allowing us to analyze all this data in any imaginable possible way. The compatibility of our security and storage solutions helped us to finally opt for this product.

We use Oracle Database for our major application backend. Data capture and retrieval latency is the major factor for our database choice.
