Break free from Oracle constraints with effortless,
smart PostgreSQL migration

Oracle databases are at the core of many organisations, powering critical operations and business processes. However, rising licensing and maintenance costs, vendor lock-ins, and restrictive policies are making them less viable for the future. Businesses need a more agile, cost-effective alternative that can replace Oracle—PostgreSQL.

Despite the obvious benefits, many leaders hesitate. Databases contain valuable business logic and data (such as financial, customer, production and operational data) that are invaluable, making change feel risky. But with the right approach, modernising from Oracle to PostgreSQL improves flexibility, scalability and security, while significantly reducing costs and eliminating restrictions as with Oracle.

That’s where Splendid Data comes in. Our advanced migration solutions—Migration Scoping and Cortex—eliminate the guesswork and complexity, providing a smooth, efficient, and controlled migration path to PostgreSQL.

Migration Scoping: Know before you move

Migration Scoping is advanced software designed to intelligently analyse your Oracle databases and assess their suitability for migration to PostgreSQL. It provides a clear insights of key elements that need attention during the transition from Oracle to PostgreSQL and estimates the time required for necessary manual adjustments (remediation).

By offering valuable insights into the technical migratability of your databases, Migration Scoping supports strategic and tactical project planning, helping organisations make informed decisions and streamline their overall migration approach to PostgreSQL with confidence.

Cortex: The smart way to migrate

Once the scope is defined, Cortex, our automated migration solution, does the heavy lifting. Designed to translate Oracle DDL and DML into native PostgreSQL, not the actual data itself. Translation of the Oracle database DDL and DML (PL/SQL to PL/pgSQL) is done semantically in relation to their context (including dependencies throughout the DDL and DML), Cortex ensures a fast, precise, and reliable transformation.

Why choose Cortex?

  • Highly automated: Reduces manual effort and accelerates migration.
  • Cost: Eliminates Oracle licensing costs and vendor lock-in.
  • Efficiency: Higher productivity with far less resources, reducing costs and accelerating migration workloads..
  • Quality: The automated migration process of Cortex guarantees high-quality migration and reduces the risk of errors that may occur in manual migrations.
  • Speed: The migration process with Cortex is the fastest approach to get to the desired result with a minimal manual intervention.
