Re: What The... PostgreSQL "Activity Book" ;)

On this new arrival ( Postgress on OCI), this should be the cheapest approach to deploy Postgres on any Cloud.
I am saying this because OCI claims OCI is the cheapest cloud in the market. But this could be wrong claim as well.

Thanks,
Sarwar

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 ;-)
