Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database 12c

The Oracle 12C Database is used as a core business backbone for modeling the process of selling products in more than 25 countries in one of the biggest retailers in the world. The database not only deposit the data but also contains the business logic in PL/SQL packages.
  • high performance
  • mature and reliable
  • rich in features
  • can be expensive
  • big footprint
  • stability
  • security
it was not my choice for Oracle 12C, but during the years I've learned on the advantages. If I would choose the Oracle 12C, I'll take it for the possibility to start from Standard and to go to enterprise based on a business case of use. I really like the possibility to have the logic in the database (triggers/ procedures/functions/packages)
OLTP Enterprise Application
High Availability
Ready to run on different operating systems (Windows/Linux/AIX/Solaris)

Evaluating Oracle Database 12c and Competitors

Not Sure

I would choose hard on the edition of the database. Sometimes even the express edition offers all you need for an internal application and if it scales up you can easily change to a standard or even an enterprise edition.
