IvorySQL: a bridge from Oracle to PostgreSQL. Using this tool, companies can expect a smooth transition to PostgreSQL without worrying about things like Oracle compatibility (PL/SQL support is built-in!) or vendor lock-in (as it's a 100% open-source solution!).

⭐ lower TCO (no licensing fees & predictable scaling)
⭐ modern infrastructure (deploy anywhere with CI/CD & extension support)
⭐ transparent internals (faster problem resolution)
⭐ a rich developer community & robustly developed base with 35+ years of development

Our team has arrived in La Rampe, Échirolles for @alposs@colter.social - will we see you there?
Come on by and visit at the Data Bene booth! We'd love to talk #PostgreSQL and open source with you!
It's #ThrowbackThursday: why not explore using QR codes to backup & restore a #Postgres DB?
@c2main@mastodon.tetaneutral.net wrote about it last April Fool's: a joke, but also it's "...a reminder that PostgreSQL’s flexibility extends even into the absurd. Air-gapped systems aren’t rare...when normal tooling fails, PostgreSQL’s pluggable architecture gives you room to innovate, even in the tightest constraints."

It's been a few months since the last #CitusData release - there are 127 commits (so far) to main since then, so it's well worth keeping an eye on the repository to watch for Citus 13.3 to drop: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/
In the meantime, find the release notes for 13.2 here: https://www.citusdata.com/updates/v13-2/
We are proud contributors to ensure continued improvements to the project - including in this release.

In case you missed it, the yearly review from Andy Pavlo is out talking about Databases in 2025: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2026/01/2025-databases-retrospective.html
Of particular note, he mentions that in the past year "...most of the database energy and activity is going into #PostgreSQL companies, offerings, projects, and derivative systems."
With #IvorySQL bringing #Oracle features to #Postgres, it'll be interesting to see how the database ecosystem changes further this year.
Wow, we just found this picture! #ThrowbackThursday
@ehstanton@fosstodon.org wrote a blog on his experience at @pgconfde@fosstodon.org last year along with a summary of the talk he gave on "#Postgres and Life Science: From Cells to Stars".
In it, he discusses:
- Neuronal mapping with a PostGIS-supported GUI
- Hydrological examination of rivers with the PgHydro extension
- Fish biomass meta-analysis leveraging vanilla Postgres
& more.
