Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Autonomous Database

Oracle Database is one of the main DB platforms used at Change Healthcare for business-critical systems. It has been installed on over a hundred servers, sized from a few GB to over 100TB.
  • Rich functionality
  • Security
  • Performance
  • DR and HA
  • Versions: introduction of long and short-term versions make it difficult to plan and maintain the databases up to date
  • Patches: CPU, PSU, etc. difficult to keep track of and stay with consistent strategy
  • Positive: solid db platform for business critical systems
  • Negative: significant effort in upgrade and patching
Oracle DB is levels of magnitude more rich in its functionality, it is much stronger in security, DR, HA, etc. However, the main drawback is its cost compared to MySQL.
