@skadi oh look at you, you sweet summer child! :akkogiggle:
I’ll tell you what. If you ever see an Oracle database, chances are, there’s at least one table dedicated to file storage. Meaning, each entry in that table contains a file in one of its fields. Yes, people actually do this. No, I don’t understand this either.
@newt@skadi you get oracle because your boss got steak and strippers from oracle. oracle suggests you use as much oracle as you can afford so of course you store your files in database blobs.
@skadi no no no no no. Just storing files on a disk isn’t enterprise enough. You write a custom Java application that uploads them into an Oracle database and stores them as blobs. With no deduplication, of course. Why would you even need it?
Also, reminds me of my favorite job interview that I’ve ever had: :comfygeek: your recruiter told me you need a Haskell specialist :blobcatderpdeer: what? No. But we have some C++ project that needs to be worked on. :comfygeek: go ahead. :blobcatderpdeer: it’s for windows. And it requires an old oracle driver from 1995. We finally got budget to refactor this and now we need people. :comfygeek: Ok thanks, I’m out of here..
