Hello and Welcome, We are excited to announce the very first release of IvorySQL. The only open source Oracle compatible PostgreSQL. IvorySQL at Glance IvorySQL is Apache 2.0 licensed Open Source Oracle compatible PostgreSQL. The very first release of IvorySQL is derived from PostgreSQL 14 with a firm commitment to always remain 100% compatible and a Drop-in replacement of the latest PostgreSQL. IvorySQL adds a compatible_db GUC on top of existing standard PostgreSQL configuration parameters. The “compatible_db” is a toggle switch to switch between Oracle and PostgreSQL compatibility modes. Another major highlight of IvorySQL is PL/iSQL procedural language that supports oracle’s PL/SQL syntax. These two additions sit at the core of Oracle compatibility of IvorySQL without breaking the standard PostgreSQL compatibility. The “compatible_db” switches the behaviour of functions and objects that exist in both Oracle and PostgreSQL and acts differently, while PLISQL builds the foundation for running the Oracle code on IvorySQL with minimal changes. IvorySQL 1.0 comes with numerous Oracle compatibility features including Oracle style PACKAGES, data types, and conversion functions. For details of Oracle compatibility features in IvorySQL 1.0 refer to IvorySQL documentation https://www.ivorysql.org/docs/intro We are committed to following the principles of the open source way IvorySQL is committed to abiding by the principles of open-source ways https://opensource.com/open-source-way and we strongly believe in building a healthy and inclusive community. We maintain that good ideas can come from anywhere, and the best ideas should win. Only by including diverse perspectives, we can reach the best decision. While the first version of IvorySQL is mainly focused on Oracle Compatibility features, going forward the future road map and feature set will be determined by the community in an open-source way.
