Oracle has recently elected to move its HQ, ref https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/11/oracle-is-moving-its-headquarters-from-silicon-valley-to-austin-texas.html https://www.marketwatch.com/story/oracle-moves-headquarters-from-silicon-valley-to-texas-11607724796 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.65.203.44 ( talk) 04:05, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
" The company decides to name the first version of its flagship product "version 2" rather than "version 1" because it believes customers might hesitate to buy the initial release of its product.[citation needed]" This is stated in reference 8 on page xxx. This page is viewable in the book preview on amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Oracle9i-Performance-Tuning-Techniques-Osborne/dp/0072224738 141.58.45.41 ( talk) 16:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
There is a "citation needed" link in the slogan "Unbreakable". I found this document which describes the slogan and appears to be witten by Oracle itself. Shall we incorporate it? http://www.cgisecurity.com/database/oracle/pdf/unbreak3.pdf
Think.com is actually one program run by Oracle Education Foundation, together with another purchased program called ThinkQuest. These programs are purely non-profit, charitable ones for students from 7 to 16 year old.-- Junqing.wang 07:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Junqing.Wang
Someone needs to go through that history timeline and get rid of all the little stuff that is not of interest to the average reader. It's almost as if every former employee tried to get a shout out to the product they worked on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.148.113.31 ( talk • contribs) 08:48, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
Too much arcane detail in this article: readers interested in Oracle don't need to know every building address, for example. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.148.113.31 ( talk • contribs) 09:21, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
"March 1983: RSI rewrites Oracle in C for portability [...] The word Oracle was the name of an unfinished consulting project for the CIA where the CIA wanted to use this new SQL language that Dr. Edgar F. Codd of IBM had written a white paper about."
I don't know enough to make the edit myself, but this is poor organization. The information in the last sentence should go either in the first timeline entry that mentions the Oracle database ("version 2"), in a separate timeline entry for the CIA project, or in the body of the article. Tennin 20:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
The actual Oracle project was started at AMPEX corporation in Redwood City, CA. The project was to manage the data base of the LA Sheriff's department criminal files. The project name was ORACLE which stood for Optimum Record Automation for Criminal Law Enforcement. The project was cancelled after much of the development was completed. Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates asked AMPEX if they could take the code and the name to start a new company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.75.233.42 ( talk) 01:17, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm astonished this critical information is not contained in the article. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-cia-made-larry-ellison-a-billionaire-2014-9 95.105.222.164 ( talk) 00:16, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
The caption for the image of Oracle HQ uses the term "Database-Symbol-Style". I could find nowhere on the web that mentions "Database-Symbol-Style" except this page, and its syndications.

My changes are here at lines 284 and 290: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Oracle_Corporation&diff=113283447&oldid=112946127. I think Ghepeu's reversion of my changes was inadvertent.

The "History" section has 2004 as the release date for Oracle 10g, while the "RDBMS release timeline" states 2003 - they can't both be right :-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.171.170.128 ( talk • contribs) 15:15, June 12, 2007 (UTC)
Is anyone out there working on an individual article for Oracle's 11g system? -- Amaraiel ( talk) 04:02, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
I remove "Subsequently when? it became larger than IBM after its acquisition of Hyperion and BEA." Ranked by software revenue, which was implied by the previous statement, Oracle is still 3rd according to CNet. Esoteric Rogue ( talk) 21:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
The sections should not repeat the article title. "Oracle Fusion Middleware" should be "Fusion Middleware", "Oracle acquisitions" should be "Acquisitions" etc. - Pgan002 ( talk) 01:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
The article needs this recent news: Justice Dept. Sues Oracle for Fraud http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703578104575397573983263294.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anneaholaward ( talk • contribs) 03:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Oracle has decided to sue Google for using there software which is under the GNU General Public License Use. This law suit is another flawed one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Infoguy4353 ( talk • contribs) 05:14, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Given the recent news the neutrality has gone down hill on this article, I suggest either adding a criticism article for Oracle and semi-protect the article, or flag this article for not being neutral. 173.81.25.50 ( talk) 01:01, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
I think these new is very neutral. They exactly represent Oracle’s policy and attitude change after acquisition of Sun Microsystem. They form an integral part on the identity of Oracle and is important source of information for people to understand this company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.69.163.247 ( talk) 11:06, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Because Oracle now sells both hardware and software,* I recommend updating the first sentence so that it is an accurate description of the company. For example, you could revise it as follows:
Oracle Corporation is an American multinational computer technology corporation that specializes in developing and marketing hardware systems and enterprise software products--particularly database management systems.

What are your thoughts about creating a section for awards? They seem to put on a few quite prominent awards - Oracle World Retail Awards [3], Oracle Excellence Awards [4] M0z ( talk) 05:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
I failed to contact the corporation through its official site, by e-mail, by phone - support just doesn't work - and a letter returned back by post. It seems that the corporation does not exist anymore. Or somebody could give actual contacts? 79.98.92.109 ( talk) 18:02, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Greetings from COI-land: the section titled " Oracle banned from bidding for US General Services Administration business" seems to be way off.
Two articles that appear to cover the bulk of the story:
The basic fact appears to be that Oracle's schedule 70 contract was canceled. That would not appear to preclude Oracle doing business with the government, as the second article points out:
(emphasis mine)
So it would seem to be a stretch for this section to flatly state that "Oracle will thus lose xyz a year in revenue."
Needless to say, it would be a real stretch for the value of xyz to be "around three hundred billion dollars a year" as the article currently has it.
(I'm an Oracle employee, but not involved in any way with government purchasing, and am not speaking as a representative of Oracle.)-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 21:55, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sources wanted for aquiring facts from IRI in 1995. - Express Server and related apps was in top 3 at OLAP-Market in the 90's and 00 and the major competitor of Hyperion Essbase. OLAP-Report as Source wanted. - OLAP-Option became successor of Express Server. In Fact OLAP-Option is the further developed Express Server embedded at ORACLE Database System. Other sources than http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Express? The contents there is correct, but without sources.
I have twice removed these, and explained in edit summaries, and on the talk page of Bryancyriel, that WP:ELNO point #10, and Wikipedia:ELNO#Official_links which explains that "Normally, only one official link is included" and "Wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites" indicate that these are neither necessary, nor desirable. The link to the official website is sufficient.
I won't remove them again (I'm old-fashioned about revert warring), so I'll just leave this note here to let other article editors decide what to do. Thanks. Begoon talk 14:41, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

This section needs to be rewritten. It is difficult to follow and does not present the case in a logical order. In addition, there is currently a tag at the top of the section saying it needs to be updated (the tag is 4 years old - from 2014).
Today I rewrote the section using a variety of sources. -- Michael Powerhouse ( talk) 23:39, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Somewhat concerned about the likeness between content of the Oracle Corporation#Technology timeline and [5]. There is risk one copies from the other or both used an unspecified common source. My head currently hurting too much to go further (and I may or may not have in good faith that cs-exhibitions.uni-klu.ac.at myself at Oracle Database... simply can't remember and currently not prepared to chase). Djm-leighpark ( talk) 08:27, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
I am minded use of predecessors for acquistions in the infobox is incorrect. Blanking it simply beings forward P155 follows from the Q19900 Wikidata item which has also been treated (in my view incorrectly). Am I being stupid? Thankyou. Djm-leighpark ( talk) 15:22, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

I won't remove them again (I'm old-fashioned about revert warring), so I'll just leave this note here to let other article editors decide what to do. Thanks. Begoon talk 14:41, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Oracle Corporation. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Dear Fellow Wikipedians, I know it as to be 50-100 be an owned entity or subsidiary/division, i also think controlling-founders/families, major shareholder(s) should not be ruled out.

This is mostly unsourced, full of trivia. Great content for a company website. Terrible WP content.

This section needs to be rewritten. It is difficult to follow and does not present the case in a logical order. In addition, there is currently a tag at the top of the section saying it needs to be updated (the tag is 4 years old - from 2014).
Today I rewrote the section using a variety of sources. -- Michael Powerhouse ( talk) 23:39, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Somewhat concerned about the likeness between content of the Oracle Corporation#Technology timeline and [5]. There is risk one copies from the other or both used an unspecified common source. My head currently hurting too much to go further (and I may or may not have in good faith that cs-exhibitions.uni-klu.ac.at myself at Oracle Database... simply can't remember and currently not prepared to chase).

I am minded use of predecessors for acquistions in the infobox is incorrect. Blanking it simply beings forward P155 follows from the Q19900 Wikidata item which has also been treated (in my view incorrectly). Am I being stupid? Thankyou. Djm-leighpark ( talk) 15:22, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
This section needs additional citations for
