Transitioning to PostgreSQL: A Flexible Pathway for Compatibility
Wednesday, October 23 at 16:20–17:10
Migrating from legacy databases like Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle to PostgreSQL can be long and challenging. At Data Bene, our internal project Polyphase simplifies this transition by using open-source tools like Babelfish (for SQL Server) and IvorySQL (for Oracle). These tools create a compatibility layer that allows applications to run on PostgreSQL without a complete migration. While Babelfish and IvorySQL currently function like "patches" on PostgreSQL, we are advocating for them to become fully integrated extensions to streamline the process further. Our solution analyses queries, provides feedback on compatibility with PostgreSQL, and offers real-time insights for developers. Join our presentation to learn how we can accelerate your journey to PostgreSQL.
