First make it feature-complete document-oriented database, then make if peroformant.
And you can feel the benefits in every step of the way. Things just work, features actually complement each other… and there’s always a way to make any crazy idea stick.
I have to admit though, I’ve never admined the Oracle DB, but I did talk a lot with people who did.
I remember over 10 years ago discussing transactional DDLs as I heard Oracle does it, too, just to listen to 5 minute lecture about how it’s nowhere near as simple.
I made several lengthy presentations about many features, mainly those that are/were missing in MySQL.
In short, MySQL (has been) shit since its inception, with insane defaults and lacking SQL support.
After Oracle bought it, it got better, but it’s catching up with stuff that Postgres has had for 20+ years (in some cases).
Also, fuck Oracle, it’s a shit company.
Edit: if I had to pick the best features I can’t live without, it would be ‘returning’, copy mode and arrays
As a complete newb to Postgres, I LOVE arrays.
Postgres feels like all of the benefits of a database and a document store.
Yeah, that was the goal.

Oracle:
Only the best in B2B marketing for our shit software.
EDIT:
hah ok, round two, more directly playing on the actual company name:
Oracle:
We tell you what you think you want to hear.
