I have used this Database for storing and retrieving the data for a web application. As it is a relational database management system and data is stored in the form of tables. We usually retrieve the data using the SQL queries. The oracle database helps me to easily retrieve the complex data. By implementing permission and altering user activities, we can simply prohibit unauthorized access and provide separate access to users.

Oracle Database is our organization's primary database server. Our main line of business application uses it exclusively to store data making it mandatory across the organization. It provides a stable and scalable relational database platform but a high custom with extremely inflexible and frustrating licensing terms.

The Oracle Database or rather a cluster of Oracle Databases is used for both an OLTP and data warehousing data storage and processing purposes across various departments. Oracle Database is a very mature and versatile platform that allows running almost any business entirely using only the database. At Parsons Smart Vehicles Solutions, we rely on Oracle for conducting the critical line of business. The database's unique resilience capabilities, programmability, and mature tooling allow for rapid software development while maintaining high quality. Oracle is widely supported by vendors' databases, which makes integration easier.

Oracle Database forms the primary database (with MySQL as secondary) that is used for the whole organization. It is used to store both internal data (accounts payable, employee records, etc) as well as used for customer data and analytics data sets.

Excellent experience using Oracle products over the past 18+ years.

We use Oracle Database for storing relational data for our OLTP/warehouse DBs. We also use it as a high availability solution (Data Guard). It is being used enterprise-wide. It helps to store, retrieve, and run analytics on data. The Dataguard also helps offload the queries from primary and helps with performance.

Oracle is the database that stores millions of transactional data generated by the different applications that support the core of the business (health services), ensuring that integration between them is possible. Additionally, it is used to generate and analyze information to respond to surveillance and control entities.

Oracle was chosen as the database to support an older ERP-type application with the actions of the vendor of the app forcing our hand to use Oracle. So it was to replace a different database. The project was to convert not only the data but also tons of code in the form of stored procedures and scripts. The vendor said it shouldn't be hard. Hah!

The most robust, stable, and biggest RDBMS I have ever encountered. As the biggest member on the market, and one of the leaders in IT industry, Oracle database is still and probably will be the standard database that everybody would want to use. The enormous knowledge and science and effort and functionality that is put into this product is insane - but for a price.

Oracle database 12c is being used as the main transactional database by my organization. It's primarily managed by the database administration and batch data processing teams. The business problems it addresses is the need to reliably and consistently store data that requires complete consistency and has a lot of capability to be queried in the future for analytics. The Oracle database does transactions the best with it's ACID compliant framework that gives us confidence that data will be stored reliably.

The Oracle database is currently used in several places throughout the institute. For starters, it works as our website's back end. We don't store any LOB objects, simply base data types. Similarly, we have developed a handful of custom applications that run on top of Oracle. Each application is a bit unique, but overall the underlying structure isn't too much different from the Website. Lastly, we use Oracle to store one of our largest data provider's information. Currently, this is in the realm of 2 billion rows spread across a small subset of tables.
