You were wrong about Oracle not having technical merit.

The only reason you gave for this was that you find it harder to learn than other databases. Obviously this is only one viewpoint, as I for example have another, and some people even prefer Pick for exactly the same reason. This is the meaningless part.

You were then wrong about me not finding your opinions meaningless in the context of a technical discussion, because I do. I am not going to attempt to change your mind on this, and despite judicious use of capital letters you won't change mine.
