Apr 8, 2019 at 16:33 | comment | added | Cullub | @Croll if you read closely, I quoted the CNBC article as saying "Amazon began moving off Oracle [database] about four or five years ago [...] and the full migration should wrap up in about 14 to 20 months." Nothing here is "proof", per se, but that's as close as I have. I also don't have any reason to doubt that at the moment. | |

"different from" makes sense whereas "different than" does not

Nov 10, 2018 at 16:59 | comment | added | Cullub | @einPaule I reply to that claim in the next paragraph, although I use a separate quote from Ellison a few minutes later in the interview. The main difference is that the answer is false, because it's apples-to-oranges vs false, because Amazon is switching to their own database; it just takes a while. | |
Nov 10, 2018 at 9:13 | comment | added | einPaule | The answer is a little misleading in dissecting the line They have been unable to migrate to AWS because it is not good enough., which, at least when being generous can be read as: They have been unable to migrate *the database they use to run Amazon from Oracle* to AWS *database* because it is not good enough. I agree with most of the rest of the answer. | |

clarified whose quote it was

Nov 8, 2018 at 22:39 | comment | added | Doktor J | @blankip How on earth is it "misleading" to dissect a quote piece-by-piece, and refute each point individually, complete with concessions that certain parts of it are at least somewhat true? | |
Nov 8, 2018 at 20:29 | comment | added | blankip | @IMSoP - I don't think this answer is accurate and if it is it is accurate based on a guess at best. If you have ever been involved in large enterprise application, there is always somethign driving the application. Really no reason in the world a company as large as Amazon in the same industry would use Oracle if it was not the fundamental driver. It is easy to move one-off things. But real-time database coordination/replication/output is the basis of their online business and what Oracle is doing. So the Oracle CEO might be slightly overstretched and cocky, but probably right. | |
Nov 8, 2018 at 18:32 | comment | added | IMSoP | @blankip The answer goes through the quote (and additional quotes from the same source) line by line, and gives reasoning for each part. The only part of the original quote that is at all accurate is that Amazon use Oracle's database; they do so in addition to many services they've built themselves. The claim that "Amazon does not use AWS to run their business" is categorically false; the claim that "Amazon runs their entire business on-top of Oracle" is dubious; and the choice to compare the whole of AWS to a database product is Larry Ellison's, not anyone's on this site. | |

Nov 8, 2018 at 16:11 | comment | added | blankip | The way you wrote this answer is almost as misleading as the quote. A major service in AWS is relational databases with caching regions. Saying that they are apples and oranges is a poor analogy. AWS is apples, bananas, and oranges and Oracle is oranges, and yet Amazon still uses Oracles oranges instead of their own. Really the analogy you have is wrong and the quote in play is more accurate than your answer. | |
