What: "An Oracle database is like a MacLearan F1 - costs a mint, takes a team to keep it running, can go really really fast, and is more than 99.99% of all drivers need."

What: "Oracle database is like a 2 year old child. Sometimes unpredictable and requires constant attention. Just like a parent cannot become a "Good parent" by just reading Dr. Spock's books, a DBA cannot become a good DBA just by reading thru an exam cram and passing an exam. You have to touch it and feel it and learn it's intricacies."

"I think an Oracle database is like a jet engine. It's a very important piece of technology, but I don't need to buy one personally. Every time you go to eBay, you access an Oracle database. Every time you go to Amazon.com, you access an Oracle database. Every time you make a bank deposit, you access an Oracle database. But actually selling it to consumers?"

"In fact, some database administrators say that tuning an Oracle database is like trying to work on a car while it's flying down the highway at 60 mph! Because of Oracle's flexibility, the internal software is phenomenally complex, and there are hundreds of variables that can cause performance problems. The complexity leaves many shops unable to keep their database properly tuned. An Oracle database is constantly changing, and the dynamic nature of tuning and of the Oracle environment makes it difficult for the Oracle database administrator to get a handle on what's going on inside the database."
