    First of all its most comparable to Oracle compared to the other solutions in this list. You are not limited to JSON, don't neet to jump to NoSQL. This doesn't mean that PostgreSQL is a FOSS alternative to Oracle. Programming in the database is quite different.

    It is more stable and efficient, most of Oracle DB Options are available and we were able to migrate our PL/SQL without changes. Truly recommend it if you use VMware or planning to use the Cloud.
