It's a pity it doesn't support Oracle. Some corps force developers to use it.

  When Oracle is forced, often Java is forced right along with it... Java means most will be using some sort of IDE instead of Vim (not always, but often) But I agree... if we're stuck using that beast of a database, it'd be nice to see support in my tooling.

  So make the case for Postgres and show the business how much cash they will save. Don’t submit to your fate, fight it.

    In my experience, the organization is well aware how much they need to switch away from Oracle. They're reminded every billing period. By then it's just no small feat. Look at Amazon, aggressively trying to move away from Oracle yet still far away.

      We want to get rid of it for years now, but say that to the accounting dept. with their ancient Oracle Forms ERP.

        Ironic that the beancounters waste the most money. Remember that when they want to make cuts.

  Looking at the code there's some thought of allowing both SQL Server and Oracle. He only just released it today so there's time to add the others.

  It says right in the list of supported DBs "Your own easily implemented adapter" - it's definitely something that can be added. Odds are he built it to use the DBs he uses, now it's your turn to contribute back the adapter for the DB you use.

  Is there any overlap in Oracle and Mac usage?
  • fiddlerwoaroof 9y ago
    Where I work most of the developers use Mac and are stuck with a legacy oracle db.
