Why Migrate from Oracle to Azure PostgreSQL?
Key Drivers
PostgreSQL enterprise grade database
– OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing), Geospatial, Analytical, Federated hub
– LAPP Stack (Linux, Apache, PostgreSQL, PHP, Python and Perl)
– Rich capabilities: Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), asynchronous replication, nested transactions,
online backups, a refined query planner/optimizer
– I18N enabled. Supports international character sets, multi-byte character encodings, Unicode, and it is
locale-aware for sorting
– And more
High compatibility between PL/SQL and PL/PGSQL (typically 80%+). Lowers the risk
– Migrate Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures, queries, datatypes, packages, sequences etc. to PostgreSQL with
little or no code changes
– Although incompatibilities exist, experts say migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL is no costlier than
upgrading from one major version of Oracle to the next major version of Oracle
TCO (1/5th cost)
Open-Source Platform. Freedom to migrate to any public cloud
