I've used Oracle in SCADA application in my Siemens days to control Airport
system. The lack of this IEEE support was not so bad to us because we use
some C/C++/Pro*C middleware for all these jobs and I would like to say
Oracle is not for a real-time application. We had used a combination of
in-memory structures and a ISAM files-based database for these things rather
than Oracle.
Anyway, the two facts-lists were interesting, I really would like to verify
everyone of them, and if someone has corrections, I would also interest to
know. I believe a lot of us do interest, too! It really helps our jobs in
selecting the right tool for our job.
