> The company is also offering a preview of a database-migration service that takes data from on-premises SQL Server and Oracle databases and migrates it to Azure SQL Database.

That's awesome. While I'd personally prefer the migration goes to PostgreSQL... :D, it's still good to see more options for migrating away from Oracle to <anything else that works>.

Hopefully Oracle's "Cloud" platform dies off, followed by the rest of the company.


May look into what the PostgreSQL option offers... of course plv8 is one of the main extensions I look for, but I know there's several that are very popular.
