> I really don't get who keeps using Oracle
"Enterprise" is still very much in the camp of "using Oracle". Which is likely how they survive despite being so customer unfriendly. "Enterprise" users are simply using what "the enterprise" purchased and have little choice in the matter.
Every enterprise company I've worked for that used Oracle either completely migrated from it or is / was in the process of doing so, which is why I asked my question. I don't see startups lining up to do Oracle either, not in the way old businesses used to.
Is there a list somewhere of major "enterprises" in this position? I've always kinda wondered how Java keeps its edge over C# in the TIOBE rankings.
'Enterprises' use Oracle's ERP applications. Oracle's ERP covers many facets of industry such as HCM, Finance, Procurement, Property Management, Oil & Gas, etc.
TIOBE rankings are meaningless.
What do you suggest instead, then?
