Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database 12c
We used the software for database consolidation in an attempt to reduce the cost of our operational expenses. It really helped reducing the cost of infrastructure as well.
- When the user connects to a plugged database, the environment looks exactly as if he/she connected to to a traditional database.
- The Oracle Database 12c is a VERY stable release. There were not nearly as many bugs to fix as there were with other releases.
- We upgraded from 11g to 12c, and the transition was easy and seamless. The user retesting was really kept to a minimum.
- MYSQL has a much lighter footprint data repository and is much cheaper for applications with a limited vertical or horizontal customer focus.
- There are compatiblilty issues with older clients like 8i. That means that legacy interconnectivity is a problem.
- The connections to other ETL tools might need a lot of drivers and system environment variable configurations.
- It helped us save on operational expenses and infrastructure.
- The complexity of the software was hard for many of our employees to handle. We didn't feel like the 11g to 12c move needed very little additional training.
I only used 11g and 12c. 12c is far superior to 11g.
