16. The Bedrock of Worldwise Enterprises
For our sixteenth episode, we're talking about a company that, for decades, has been the unglamorous but absolutely essential backbone of global business. This isn't a company that makes a fun social media app or a sleek smartphone. No... this is the company that runs the databases for the world's biggest banks, the supply chain software for the biggest retailers, and the financial software for the biggest corporations. It's a titan that many thought had missed the boat on the cloud, but is now staging one of the most impressive comebacks in tech. We are talking about Oracle Corporation. For decades, Oracle ($ORCL) was the undisputed king of the corporate database and a titan of on-premise enterprise software. Led by the legendary Larry Ellison, it was a cash-generating machine, but often viewed by investors as a legacy player being left behind in the cloud revolution. But a massive strategic pivot has changed everything, and Oracle has suddenly emerged as a critical player in the single most important trend in technology: Artificial Intelligence. Fueled by massive deals to power AI model training, its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is growing at a blistering pace, challenging the dominance of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. With its big bet on healthcare data through the Cerner acquisition and a steady migration of its own customers to the cloud, the bull case is compelling. But are these new AI wins sustainable, or just a temporary sugar rush? Can Oracle truly compete with the hyperscalers in the long run? We're running a query on Oracle's ambitious transformation to see if this old guard tech company has successfully rebooted itself for a new era of growth.

Many users express deep distrust from PlanetScale's previous free tier removal, feeling "burned" by broken "free forever" promises. Longevity and pricing stability of the new $5 plan remain key concerns. #Database 2/6

A short summary of the differences between UUIDv4 and #UUIDv7 and an idea how it could be implemented in #Oracle #database. A UUID datatype would be nice 😉.
