### AI overview

Percona and HexaCluster describe a partnership for moving organizations from Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and Sybase ASE to supported open source databases, primarily PostgreSQL. HexaCluster provides assessment and migration engineering through DMAT and HexaRocket, while Percona provides distributions, operators, and long-term support. HexaRocket combines schema migration, data migration, validation, change data capture, live replication, and reverse replication in one platform.

### Source excerpt

Percona and HexaCluster have partnered to remove the hardest part of an open source database migration: getting off Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 or Sybase ASE with confidence, on a predictable timeline, without a multi-year consulting program. Percona brings open source expertise, its own distributions, operators and enterprise support. HexaCluster brings the assessment and migration engineering ...

### AI overview

The article examines how commercial ecosystems built around PostgreSQL can create walled-garden effects and constrain the portability of PostgreSQL-compatible systems. It highlights migration complexity, switching costs, and potential data-integrity risks when leaving such ecosystems.

### Source excerpt

These days there's been a lot of talk about Postgres having an impact on "everything". Whether it's replacing legacy systems, creating a new greenfield project or even implementing it as a back-end to an agentic AI, Postgres is today's poster child for innovation. So performing something as dull and straightforward as a database migration should ...
