Oh man. I had a talk with a DBA about how oracle could not deal with an adress with no street name - literally a tiny village with 10 houses on 1 nameless town square. It was unsearchable in parts of the app because street='' was interpreted as street is null. DBA kept claiming oracle was right and the town should adapt their naming to our software. This attitude was so prevalent at the time, I sometimes wonder if the rise of noSQL was simply people sick of dealing with Oracle DBAs |

That was definitely one part; another part was sharp corners in MySQL (at least as of 20 years ago; I would be surprised if many of them haven't been rounded off in the meantime). The last part was places with no DBA with developers unaware of how to handle schema migrations.
