I do love Oracle Database.

Expensive as it is ($17,500/core on SE2, $47,500/core on Enterprise), the archived logs are mostly rock solid, and standby/Dataguard nodes are always correct (assuming that you FORCE LOGGING or are not stupid about NOLOGGING).

It is expensive, and I really should learn a better alternative than SQLite.
