We have a customer application on oracle. They want to crate a "small footprint" version of it to be sold at a cheaper price.
I want to suggest that Postgres could be the right choice of database for that as it is close to oracle in its sql syntax and hence porting should be simpler. Can anybody guide me on what kind of pitfalls we could run into by choosing Postgres. The database is not very large but is much larger than what goes for "database" in mysql discussions (about 1 GB of data, 100 tables with about 10-50 MB added every day)? In particular, I would be interested in hearing from people who have run moderately large databases on postgres and how fast they found it. I have heard that it is possible to now provide replication and fail over with postgres. Has anybody tried it?
