Reasons to migrate Oracle to Azure PostgreSQL

POSTGRESQL PL/PGSQL
IS HIGHLY COMPATIBLE
WITH ORACLE PL/SQL
LOWERING MIGRATION
COST AND RISK Oracle

Azure
Migrate Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures, queries,
datatypes, packages, sequences etc. to PostgreSQL
with little or no code changes
Although incompatibilities exist, experts say
migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL is no costlier
than upgrading from one major version of Oracle
to the next major version of Oracle
Reasons to migrate Oracle to Azure PostgreSQL

MANAGED COMMUNITY
VERSION
Focus on your apps by leaving the
management and patching of your
infrastructure and database to an
enterprise-ready cloud service with:
• Automatic updates
• Automatic security fixes
• Automatic new feature updates

PostgreSQL: 9.5, 9.6, 10, and 11

End to End Migration
Example
• Schema Migration -ora2pg / Azure DMS
• App/DB Migration
• Stored procs in Oracle to Postgres – ora2pg
• Oracle SQL Queries generated from application to
PostgreSQL compatible queries- ora2pg
• Drivers/ORMs for making databases agnostic – use
PostgreSQL driver.
• Ex: JDBC/Hibernate in Java.
• Data Migration Azure

• Azure DMS – online data migration

• Customers are moving from Oracle to Azure Database for PostgreSQL:

- PL/PGSQL is highly compatible with PL/SQL making migrations easier and reducing risk.
- TCO
- Azure Database for PostgreSQL is based on community edition, no lock-in

• Leverage Microsoft’s expertise, IP, and tooling to migrate from Oracle to

PostgreSQL.
