Tangential, but there’s an old interview with Ellison where he said that Amazon would never be able to get off of Oracle DB because it’s too critical a piece of software. This was in response to Amazon announcing it was something they had planned.

Amazon got it done ahead of schedule and there’s a video of them popping champagne to celebrate when they shut the last server down.

I’m not a big Amazon fan, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
