Agree. I have been using Postgres and Oracle in production since ~2000 (oracle 8i). Postgres is an amazing project but the oracle core database has billions of R&D dollars. Don't confuse the oracle core database with the awful applications they hang off of it. Oracle will still destroy pg for most OLAP workloads, now you have to decide if the insane licencing cost is worth it.

Also just want to add an oracle developers post that I find hilarious...

This was a gem. Really makes you appreciate not having to work on such a codebase.
