Features von Database with PostgreSQL

Fully managed

OCI Database with PostgreSQL dynamically scales storage based on your requirements, ensures that the systems are always up to date with the latest security fixes, automates backups, and frees DBAs from the constant loop of routine tasks while staying true to open-source code.

Versatile and extensible

OCI Database with PostgreSQL features a unique combination of traditional RDBMS features and support for non-relational operations as well as the extensibility to add functionally, data types, and even different coding languages.

High performance

By uniquely decoupling storage from the database engine, Oracle delivers 3X the performance of open-source PostgreSQL.1

Ease of operations

OCI Database with PostgreSQL is designed to reduce the need for routine tasks such as patching, monitoring, logging, and notifications, allowing database administrators to focus on more pressing responsibilities. As a result, it's a fully managed service that dynamically scales storage, maintains optimum performance, and is fortified with the latest security fixes.

OCI Database Optimized Storage

Leverage high performance database storage for I/O-intensive workloads. OCI Database with PostgreSQL can scale up to 750,000 IOPS, depending on the selected performance tier and shape.

Disaster recovery

You can now protect critical PostgreSQL workloads with multiple recovery options. Use point-in-time recovery to create a new database system at a specific earlier time stamp; replicate continuously to a warm standby in another region for cross-region disaster recovery; and automatically copy backups to another region for additional recovery flexibility.

Flexible configurations

The PostgreSQL service on OCI supports both single- and multi-node configurations, catering to various enterprise needs. This provides customizable configurations that adapt to business scale and requirements.

Lower your TCO

OCI Database with PostgreSQL can deliver a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for your business. It offers an optimal price/performance ratio, leading to significant cost savings and helps keep operational costs down while ensuring the database remains up and running.

Commitment to open source

With seamless integration to the world's most advanced open source database—PostgreSQL—OCI Database with PostgreSQL offers more than a robust database solution. Oracle is committed to supporting popular open source technologies that our customers can confidently deploy in business-critical environments.
