PostgreSQL still doesn't have nowhere near the features of Oracle: for example, it still cannot do synchronous multimaster replication, unless one buys Vertica.

- tpetry 4y agoI believe the parent didn't mean the Oracle DB but Oracle MySQL. This makes the most sense as Oracle's acquisition of MySQL (Sun) was discussed before.
- dx034 4y agoThe described issues fit better to Oracle DB. Schemas tied to users is definitely the case for Oracle DB and MySQL isn't that hard to install.
- lowwave 4y agofor sure, PostgreSQL is feature complete as Oracle, however it is the best open source db that is close enough. And not everyone needs multi-master replication or automated materialize view, etc. Many feature in Oracle can be build custom via functions and store procedures in Postgres.
