About IvorySQL

IvorySQL is an advanced, full-featured, Oracle open source compatible PostgreSQL distribution with a firm commitment to always remain 100% compatible and serve as a direct replacement for the latest PostgreSQL.

One of IvorySQL’s key highlights is the PL/iSQL procedural language, which supports Oracle’s PL/SQL syntax. IvorySQL also implements Oracle-compatible functions through plug-ins like ivorysql_ora that are tightly integrated with the kernel. Currently, these functions include built-in functions, data types, system views, merges, and added GUC parameters. IvorySQL will continue to expand its compatibility by developing new kernel-bound plug-in functions.

Our team is an active participant in the IvorySQL open source community, contributing to its development and collaborative growth..
