Hi,

I am migrating my MS SQL databases to PostgresSQL. I wish to convert one
stored procedure from SQL server to PostgreSQL. But I couldn't find the
compatibility for 'sp_OACreate' extended procedure.

Does PostgreSQL OA extended procedure ? or any equivalent objects?

Looking here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-stored-procedures/sp-oacreate-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
The answer is no.

This is not bug. Postgres doesn't supports COM objects, because it is multiplatform project, and COM objects are +/- MS platform only technology.

Postgres has own API that can be used for extensions - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/server-programming.html

When you have knowledge of C programming, then you can use it. If not, then you can use Python or Perl interface.
