Hi Robert,

How does Oracle support PostgreSQL? 

 

EDB has a "compatibility mode", but that's EDB.  Oracle has produced some documentation for PostgreSQL (ex. https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/deploy-postgresql-db/index.html).  You can deploy a PostgreSQL cluster on an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.  Their "go to" still seems to be MySQL, but perhaps this has changed?

 

Could you please clarify would you mean by "supports"? 

 

Thank you,

Katie

I suppose it's a sign of the times, considering Oracle now supports PostgreSQL too ;-)
