    As someone who has literally helped the government use SQL for over a decade, this is huge news.

      Elon and DOGE should really look into all of those Oracle contracts the Fed pays for. Must be all inefficiency and fraud.

        Please do. Most of my sales these days are people dropping Oracle due to cost.

          It would be one of the areas that would save the government a bunch of money. But, Ellison is in the Trump camp so it’s not going to happen.

          Access can do (some) SQL! 😱

          I’ve worked for US federal government, access to Access* was the only way I could do some things that wasn’t torture… severe torture.

          *keep in mind that SQL is a query language. It can be implemented in different ways and not necessarily within an RDMS.
