Seems that we have "who sucks the most" competition.

It is really about product definition. Find goofy RDBMS around, there is simply none. That's right, RDBMS is SQL execution engine with well defined specs.

One more relatively decent oracle product: JDeveloper. Similar to RDBMS, IDE is a product with well defined spec. And yet again, you'll hardly find other IDE that totally sucks on the market.

What is Application Server, may I ask? A random collection of goofy inventions like cartridges, web cache, message exchange "framework", and other nonsence patched to Apache?

Would be interested to know what other oracle product is not a disaster. Received on Fri Jun 27 2003 - 21:33:26 CDT
