Please, Do Not Feed the Oracle
January 12, 2012
SAND Technology provides Enterprise Analytic Database Platforms. SAND Analytic Platform is a column based management system that focuses on optimizing data sharing throughout entire Enterprises. Mike Pilcher Chief Operating Office of SAND Technology provides an amusing view of Oracle in the SAND.com article “Just One More Water-Thin Mint, Mr.Ellison?.” He uses a Monty Phyton film to describe Oracle’s morbidly obese product line and the result of adding Endeca to the mix. “you will remember Mr. Creosote eating just one more wafer-thin mint too many… before exploding into a million messy pieces. Is the acquisition of Endeca Oracle’s one wafer-thin mint too many?” Oracle is not designed for Big Data analytics and Endeca just adds to the confusion. Pilcher feels “Extracting and augmenting structure onto unstructured data and merging it with structured data is the future of Big Data analytics, “ and praises Oracle for realizing this but points out the importance of having “a database designed and built to handle it, not a monster overfed on an endless supply of wafer-thin acquisitions.” Looks like Pilcher is really saying “Please don’t feed the Oracle.”
