My experience with Oracle has been as administrator and developer which gives me an overview of the projects and has allowed me, thanks to the tools it provides, to achieve projects that with other database managers could not have been successfully completed, that is, the multiple tools provided by oracle are very helpful although the examples and the documentation seem scarce
Pros
It is a very powerful database from the point of view of storage and development, I have used oracle in many aspects, as a database engine and for a large amount of data it is perfect because it handles high volume data efficiently, as well It provides the advantage of being able to develop with SQL ansi standard procedures and tasks that automate the management of data, the advantage of being able to run on any platform and with any development tool allows development projects to be carried out in the expected time, compatibility It is your biggest advantage
Cons
As a disadvantage I think that the way to handle the downloads of the connection drivers for the different platforms is a bit tedious since other databases do not require so much protocol to download the drivers. it may be necessary in some cases to document about the new functionalities because the examples provided by the provider are not so clear and / or non-existent

I was having issues getting it to work with Entity Framework as far as retrieving meta data when the database entities were changed.
Pros
The DBMS has many features and they are very efficient.
Cons
The error messages seem a little vague at times and really don't describe the problem.

We use Oracle every day throughout our entire company. Customer database maintenance, ordering product, processing payments all happen through Oracle.
Pros
I like that this software is a workhorse and really is capable of everything. I also like that it is customizable to the needs of the company using it.
Cons
It really takes a lot of specific training and experience to get to know this system really well. There are a lot of little caveats and silly rules to follow to get things where they need to be. Once you learn the tricks of the trade it's no problem but it is not intuitive or user-friendly at all.

The features I use most in Oracle database; Writing stored procedure, view, cursor and trigger and calling it from within the software, as well as writing instant queries and generating reports.
Pros
I'm in the banking industry and we have millions of transactions daily. We keep these transactions in the oracle database. Among all this data, we can find, for example, a transaction or customer we want to find, without waiting. An invaluable database tool for complete enterprise companies. The main features that I like the most are that it can process large amounts of data quickly, many users can access the same table or even the same data, and it is very easy to use.
Cons
I've been using it for years and I've never encountered a feature that I don't like at all.

This is where I started learning and using databases, that means this was the base of all. I was used to write queries and try those out with oracle.
Pros
Most importantly, this supports various data types like text, binary data and numbers and oracle can handle large amount of data efficiently. Also we can easily integrate it with multiple programming languages where I used it in multiple projects with different languages. This supports data backup and replicas and it make sure the availability of data in an unexpected condition.
Cons
As a drawback what I see is the resource consumption of the tool. It takes lot memory and CPU power and that makes my old laptop slower.
