It’s unclear exactly how many employees lost their jobs, with reports ranging from 10,000 to 30,000. The latter would represent almost 19% of the company’s 162,000 workers.

          There’s no conclusive evidence it was Russian. It could just as likely be American, Chinese, Israeli, French, etc

          I would be even more shocked to learn that person still works there. Crazy world time to check LinkedIn

        M$ actually bought Citus Data, so they are embracing Pgsql.

      Oracle needs a good dose of adversarial interoperability.
