Delphix is a startup and a pretty impressive one at that. The core of their
business is on Oracle, even if you could say, “but Kellyn, the actual internals
aren’t running on Oracle” there is a strong message that states we have built
what is now in play by how much does run on Oracle and needs a better way to
manage all those Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL, Sybase and other databases.

A cloud company that was a startup many years ago and just got acquired
by Oracle a few years ago, they were using Oracle DB. I worked there
for awhile.
These days? I haven't been around many startups. But my wild

oracle. Yesterday and today, a friend of mine in a private email
discussion wrote the following (he gave me permission to quote this on

I realise this is all a little wishy-washy, but as someone that
regularly looks after Oracle, MySQL and SQL Server, I can see why a
lot of people can't be bothered with Oracle. It is fast becoming the
engine we pick when the vendor forces our hand, rather than the one
we pick by choice. After investing 21+ years of my life into Oracle
tech, that's a pretty painful statement to make.

I can see a lot of the lights-on DBs going cloud in the
future. Even when you move to these services, you still have to
consider consolidation. If multitenant were free on EE, you might end
up using it on AWS within your RDS service. :)
