My organization switched from Oracle to Postgres 11 years ago.
So, I could argue regarding "something harder to maintain", and regarding
savings on licenses. Every specific situation is different, and requires
specific tool.
Just don't want to start a "religious war" :)

My organization is trying to push Postgres as well, but running some basic
numbers, it wouldn't save my organization any money, just transfer the
costs to a different account.
It also doesn't even address the added costs of migrating every single
Apex application into a whole new environment, with entirely new code. With
any luck I'll be retiring next year and my tax dollars can either spent on
keeping things working, or taking them all offline for several years while
they get rewritten in something harder to maintain, and just as expensive
to run.

Howdy,
This email is not to cause any trouble but I know there are a lot of
Oracle shops pushing workloads to Postgres nowadays. There is a training
at Postgres Conference Silicon Valley in September on migrating from
Oracle to Postgres:
https://postgresconf.org/conferences/SV2019/program/proposals/oracle-to-postgresql-migration-tutorial
The conference is organized via 501c3 and volunteers. We would love to
have everyone there.
Thanks!
JD
