Oracle could handle this fine.
Oracle fell over dead, even with the best indexing possible, tuned by the experts, and using partitions keyed to the customerID.
I don't think so, whoever tuned this likely didn't know what they were doing.
It's telling that Oracle's license contract prohibits you from publishing comparisons and benchmarks. You have to wonder why.
They did this for the same reason as everyone else. They don't want non-experts tuning the database incorrectly, writing a benchmark paper about it, and making the software look bad. -- Jonah H.
