Nope. One can start easily with Airflow+Spark(ERM)+Presto+S3 and get about 80% what'd get from your run of the mill Oracle database. At a fraction of the price, without half the headache in procurement, licensing or performance tweaking. And better scalability.

You'd be looking at $M in licenses for anything half-serious based in Oracle tech. Becoming good at replacing Oracle stuff probably has been one of the best paying jobs for a while.
