Oracle sales has been all over us for many months to try and move over to their cloud offering but all I ever hear are stories like this. Pass.
I'm bitter about their KB documentation being paywalled. Their community ecosystem is nightmare fuel. Burleson Consulting is right until they are deprecated or were wrong to begin with -- but at least it is accessible. AskTom is retired.
And for the past several years their attempts at "us too!" cloud offerings look like the slow recognition that its best days are far behind it.
Hard pass with all the invective thoughts I can muster.
Still most of the time they are the one stop solution to my Oracle database problems. Tanks to them!
