- nine_k 9y agoWell, this Postgres release introduces automatic partitioning; in Oracle, it has been available for like 20 years. Also, some shops are heavily invested in PL/SQL code. The price of migration may far outweigh the license savings.

- takeda 9y agoMy previous company migrated to Postgres by using EnterpriseDB[1]. This allowed them to run existing Oracle data with PL/SQL as they were working on migrating it to the raw PostgreSQL. So where there is a will there's a way. [1] https://www.enterprisedb.com https://www.enterprisedb.com
