Has anyone noticed how vendor databases in general are getting worse and worse? It seems we're getting to an age where regardless of quality, it's just get the product out the door as quickly as possible.

The company I work for just purchased a product which landed with me to install the database, and what I find is a database with very few tables actually having primary keys, no indexes and after a big data load they wonder why the performance is shot to hell.....

I am in the same boat with several of my clients.

They have vendor databases that are really pathetic in design and performance - and the vendor won't provide any real support other than to tell them to get better hardware.
