Those enterprises that I mentioned often not only maintain their current workloads on AIX but even add new environments to it. An example: an internal strategy defines that every mission critical application needs to use Oracle or Db2 as its' data store and another strategy says that all Oracle/Db2 workloads need to run on AIX. In companies with such a setup even today new applications are deployed on AIX. Well, the databases for those applications at least ;) New applications indeed only very rarely land there as they usually are hosted on Linux in some VMware environment.

And this is just foolish.

SQLite has DO-178b certification that neither Oracle nor Db2 will ever obtain.

You can trust SQLite in avionics, not so with the others.

Well, those companies don't do avionics or care about them, and SQLite would do nothing for their use cases (heavy financial analytics, reporting, OLAP, etc).

Really? That's fascinating.

Avionics certification is an incredible milestone for FOSS in general.

This is the reason why SQLite will never be forked.
