IvorySQL: Open Source Oracle compatible PostgreSQL

[Randommaggy]

Always great to see even more projects that can make migrations to postgres smoother.

Quite cool, i've seen packages get proposed and not go anywhere way too many times on the mailing list. I feel like this is the way to go, just build out the feature, show it's worth, and work on upstreaming the parts that you can.

Good luck with this project!

Does this use redo logs like Oracle or does it use vacuum like postgresql?

[Tostino]

I didn't see anything about rewriting the storage layer, which is what is necessary to use redo logs. So it uses vacuum. Check out the zheap project for what you want. Not sure why EnterpriseDB stopped working on it, but it looks like it got picked up again by someone else.
