Cortex 2025.1 is released

Introducing the new release of Cortex and future developments

The first quarter of 2025 is already behind us…time is moving fast. We just released a new version (2025.1) of Cortex. Since the last release, we have seen many new use cases that, as usual, have given us a lot of new inspiration to further improve the capabilities of Cortex.

What have we done in this new release?

Looking at the migration of the Oracle Data Objects and the Oracle Code Objects to PostgreSQL we made many improvements. As a result the percentage of automated migration became again better, which has a positive impact on accelerating the migration of an Oracle database to PostgreSQL.

Besides the many improvements, all PostgreSQL versions incl. applicable extensions are upgraded to the latest (minor) versions in the Cortex images.

Something we are proud of

Technically migrating Oracle databases to PostgreSQL seems easy, but we know from experience that it is not. All the “minor” differences between Oracle and PostgreSQL combined with the different version of Oracle and PostgreSQL is already a challenge in itself. In addition, we notice that the internal administration (bookkeeping) becomes more and more sloppy and the number of “undocumented” features of Oracle provide occasional surprises. All and all…never a dull moment.

All in all, we keep managing to make our software smarter so that we keep improving the percentage of automated migration of both the Oracle Data Objects and also the Oracle Code Objects.

Ultimately, we combine our many years of deep technical experience with both Oracle and PostgreSQL into our “best in class” Cortex solution. This is to ensure that the road to get rid of Oracle actually just becomes easy.

Outlook for the second quarter of 2025

Continuously improve Cortex’s capabilities based on customer use cases, which we do on a daily basis. In the coming months, we have another set of customer use cases coming up that will undoubtedly bring us new inspiration.

The benefits of Cortex

Cortex is and will remain the most effective and efficient solution for migrating your Oracle databases to PostgreSQL due to our continuous improvements.

Cortex will save you a lot of time and money, and it’s cheaper than free. No lock-in’s and you can deploy your Oracle to PostgreSQL migrated databases wherever you want.
