We run a large number of Oracle database for customers. I mostly help manage the application running on top of the database, and we have a DBA team handling the databases.
It's amazing to see how calmly they handle managing Oracle, but their argumentation is also very Oracle-like: It's not a database problem, you're just using it wrong. Which would be a terrible answer, if they weren't right. I think most of us forget that for all the terribleness of Oracle, they actually do build a very stable and performant database, assuming you can afford it.
