Good performance, stability, and scalability, but the documentation needs to be improved

This solution was great for a while until Oracle became adversarial with its customers and the professionals who support their products.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information Not Available

It is an excellent product, as long as the organization can afford the price tag.The price is very expensive for the support.The main issue where I feel that Oracle still has a problem is with the licensing. Licensing is still expensive and the reason why today most startups use other, cheaper databases. Those other databases are much less sophisticated than Oracle.The license cost need to be optimized. The licensing cost is very high compared to other RDBMS.Be prepared to pay for consulting services, and do not underestimate the time required to find and hire good quality database administrators.

Overview
Apache Derby, an Apache DB subproject, is an open source relational database implemented entirely in Java and available under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Some key advantages include: Derby has a small footprint -- about 2.6 megabytes for the base engine and embedded JDBC driver. Derby is based on the Java, JDBC, and SQL standards. Derby provides an embedded JDBC driver that lets you embed Derby in any Java-based solution. Derby also supports the more familiar client/server mode with the Derby Network Client JDBC driver and Derby Network Server. Derby is easy to install, deploy, and use.	Oracle Database 12c introduces a new multitenant architecture that makes it easy to consolidate many databases quickly and manage them as a cloud service. Oracle Database 12c also includes in-memory data processing capabilities for breakthrough analytical performance. Additional database innovations deliver new levels of efficiency, performance, security, and availability. Oracle Database 12c comes in two editions to fit your business needs and budget: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition 2. For more information on Oracle RDBMS, visit Oracle.com
