    I cannot imagine any business leader crunching the numbers and concluding it’s better to stay with Oracle. I would order an all-hands-on-deck effort to rejigger the company database needs to get out from under these parasites.

    Only explanation I got it that they are unwilling to stall current projects and/or hire more backend devs while sorting it out. And yes, I am well aware it’s a monstrous task, even for a small company.

      It’s cheaper in the long run, which is probably about 5 years, maybe less. Those fees are astronomical.

      In fact, I’d be willing to donate some time to help a small business transition to Postgres.
