I don’t think it’s FUD. It’s pretty uncontested that they what they call Serialisable isn’t.
Whether that contributes significantly to their performance is uncertain but not in a way that engenders fear.
I may have missed something but I didn’t see anything in the article about that.
You’re probably speaking from a position of knowledge (certainly relative to me); a link to something explaining when/how oracle is unsafe would be enough to make it not-fud.
Ahh - the mention of four different systems there got me thinking it was a widespread thing, but on closer inspection I see that the other three have all avoided or moved away from the misleading name. Thanks for pointing that out.
I wonder if Oracle’s secret to performance is just that they redefined what “safe” means to be less so.
Maybe, but that’s basically the definition of FUD.

Read the first paragraph under the heading “Isolation in Real Databases” carefully.
