Interesting. Now where's the Oracle-to-Postgres Translation project? ;-)

  Their legal team might still be preparing for this one given Oracle's reputation.

    SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled on Google LLC v. Oracle America Inc. One imagines that if Oracle prevails in some demonstrative manner they may very well believe their flavor of SQL is a software interface protected by copywrite. So will all the other 'software interface' owners of the world.

      IBM might have something to say about that, though.

        Wouldn't that be ironic.

      Apparently everyone keeps forgetting about ISO.
      • topspin 6y ago
        That's because everyone knows about the delta between ISO and real implementations.
        • pjmlp 6y ago
          Yet they still forget about pay to play with ISO standards.

      So if Oracle wins, can AWS sue Oracle for Oracle having implemented AWS S3 API ? https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Object/Tasks/s3compatibleapi.htm https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Object/Task...

        AWS can probably sue most of the valley for that one.

  isn't that what enterprisedb is selling ?
  • linuxhiker 6y ago
    Yes but it isn't Open Source.
    • dragonwriter 6y ago
      Amazon acquiring EDB and rolling some of the currently-proprietary bits like the Oracle compatibility layer into open source Postgres while increasing resources to developing them could be an interesting play.

  I have used ora2pg with great success.

  Some time ago there was big news about Amazon migrating away from Oracle. Related to this? Announcing this first for SQL server might be a way to launch softly and learn.
