Hello, my first post to the list, thank you for this place to ask questions and get help.
Our management has tasked me with devising a plan to migrate our existing databases from Oracle to PostgreSQL. I'm researching and getting familiar with PostgreSQL before getting a Linux box to start learning and staging. I have a long way to go, but it will be fun. Out of the gate, I can see different PostgreSQL products - PostgreSQL, PostgreSQLPlus, EnterpriseDB Advanced Server. For staging I'll likely start with the vanilla version. I've been searching for a comparison of different product sets; I've found some things, but in other places different information. There is a lot to sift through. For example, we are now using non-active Data Guard to a standby for disaster recovery. What is the different on this functionality in the 3 products? Or perhaps there are more products than I've found. Cost will be a factor for us, but I also consider that costs are not only product and maintenance costs, there are DBA and developer migration costs as well. Any insights or information is appreciated. ********************************************************* Sherrie Kubis Sr. Oracle DBA Information Technology Bureau Southwest Florida Water Management District 2379 Broad Street Brooksville, FL 34604-6899 352.796.7211 x4033 sherrie.ku...@swfwmd.state.fl.us<mailto:steve.di...@swfwmd.state.fl.us> Please take a moment to answer a few questions<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ITB-SWFWMD> and let us how we're doing.
