Yeah but did you know you also can't publish benchmarks?

E.x. if you make a product that works on multiple databases, you can't show the performance difference between them.

That's just because they can't beat sqlite and they're too embarrassed by it.
You can you just have to ask. And that's not an oracle thing. All the commercial databases have that rule. It's too easy to make misleading benchmarks for such complicated products so that's why they do it.
