I'm not gonna dox myself, but my company is definitely not a smaller firm, whatever country you're in, good chance we at least have a presence. Our drive to eliminate Oracle dependence extends to just... not doing whatever that was at all anymore. We're not there yet and it's going to take even more years, but I've heard the same from quite a few others at similarly large companies.

You're right that Oracle is in a real good place technically in a lot of ways, but people are very very motivated to see them fail and that drive has even spread outside of the IT sphere.

Amen. Oracle has made us buckets of cash but dear lord are they awful. IT will be better once they are gone.
