It seems like the whole IT world has moved away from SQL Server / Azure to Oracle and AWS/GCP.
And the list of requirements from clients has gone mental, its like wanting a plumber but also wanting them with first rate pottery and blade-smithing skills.

Really? Microsoft released their latest quarterly results recently and I can't remember the exact numbers but their market share is something like 2-3 x GCP. Obviously still some way behind AWS.Originally posted by quackhandle View PostIt seems like the whole IT world has moved away from SQL Server / Azure to Oracle and AWS/GCP.
