My bad luck is knowing Postgresql. It brings me great suffering when working with Oracle which is unnecessarily complicated and excessively buggy.

You don't need support to work with Postgresql. Everything is simple and works as documented.



The buggyness of Oracle surprised me. I expected complicated (but underestimated how complicated they make things) but what I did not expect was the bugs.

After having worked with PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle I cannot understand why anyone would pick Oracle. Its advantages can't be worth the hassle even if we ignore the license fee.
