This makes it slightly challenging for bigger postgres databases that are Terrabytes in size. pgBackRest is our savior in such a case. While migrating from Oracle to Postgres, users find pgBackRest as an Oracle RMAN equivalent for PostgreSQL with some more additional ... Read More

Some might want to know if they have to pay any additional enterprise license in order to achieve this requirement. This is because, a few commercial databases require a customer to take an enteprise license to setup replication. But, PostgreSQL, like advanced Open Source databases, automatically offers several types of replication methods built-in. This means, we never have to consider taking any additional license or an enterprise solution and stay away from vendor lock-in while using PostgreSQL. In ... Read More
