Hi, With massive development within OSS PosgreSQL over the years, there is plenty of things it can do when compared to Oracle. The below URLs give you a comprehensive comparison table, I am sure you or your colleagues may have already stumbled upon these URLs. In addition to that, there is something called "oracle compabilities" for PostgreSQL which makes it more like Oracle for most of the Oracle's native functionalities like packages and procedures etc.

I'm working in a Java application with some colleagues and we are in doubt wether to use Oracle or PostgreSQL as the data store. It will be a OLTP mainly application. Beside of license terms/costs which is a clear point in favor of PostgreSQL, could you please help me to get some more details regarding what you can do in PostgreSQL and you can't in Oracle oand viceversa, and what can be done using both but it is better done by PostgreSQL vs Oracle and so on? I mean, about functionalities, performance, support costs if any and qualtity, etc. Many thanks. Best Regards.
