well, OK. I guess I should cease and desist from complimenting the Oracle DB. it is a great product, though it did always seem that they deliberately obfuscate documentation and make friendly tools and resources unavailable just to feed their army of dependent consultants.
BTW, I suppose Postgres is a perfectly adequate replacement?
- ams6110 13y agoPostgres would be an adequate replacement for Oracle in many cases, or the enhanced EnterpriseDB which is not free but is less expensive. At the very high end, if you need what Oracle is capable of, not much else can replace it.
- dagw 13y agoBTW, I suppose Postgres is a perfectly adequate replacement? If you're starting from zero, don't have any too obscure or extreme requirements and don't have to integrate with third party tools that don't support Postgres, then absolutely. However if you already have a large Oracle based codebase and/or have to talk to third party apps that don't support Postgres then your migration costs can quickly swamp your license costs.
