Its mainly related to MSSQL and Horracle. Horracle will just use their legal team (which is bigger than their engineers and developers) to bludgeon you over benchmarks.

"This just in Oracle legal team takes down entire Tor Network"

Jokes aside, I'm surprised they're so touchy about these things. They can make plenty of money without it, they can also save plenty of money with less lawyers.

If rationality was always used we wouldn't have had Putin making a gigantic, catastrophic geopolitical mistake. A little common sense goes an awful long way, but only if you choose to use it.

MSSQL is destroying its own market by its pricing (and the licensing thicket, jesus christ, I've been looking at them for 2 days now and... shudder)

Used to just use PostgresSQL on Azure just fine. I am really surprised people use MSSQL or Oracle today honestly. You really don't need to tie yourself down to a proprietary DB anymore.
