ROFL! When all else fails, blame the dbas and their "lazyness". They must have learned with Oracle marketing. Not at all surprised they're doing soooooo well! :) hashtagfacepalm...

I never bothered learning it in depth (other than explaining how/why it worked in a blog post long before it was a delivered product). For precisely the same reason I didn't bother learning OAS despite the multiple veiled threats by Oracle marketing that my "career" would suffer as a result:

too narrow a market, for what is at core a vertical market product.

It has its uses. But it's not a panacea or a solve-all by ANY stretch of the imagination. Which in the case of O-marketing was plenty fertile. To the point of trying to flog it to us at any cost even though we have 350+ non-Oracle dbs and around 50 Oracle ones. Yeah, it was such a perfect fit for our environment and needs!...
