Summary

EDB announces Agentic Migrations, an AI-driven workflow designed to automate the end-to-end migration from legacy Oracle databases and cloud-locked Postgres to EDB's sovereign Postgres AI platform. The article argues that 75% of enterprise data remains locked in legacy systems and 94% of migrations run late or over budget, primarily due to scale and complexity issues rather than skills gaps. The solution embeds 20 years of EDB's Oracle-to-Postgres migration expertise into an agent that handles PL/SQL incompatibility resolution, schema conversion, and cluster setup automatically within the customer's own security perimeter. Key claims include up to 80% TCO savings, 95% fewer code rewrites, and migration timelines cut from months to days. The piece positions this as an escape from Oracle's vendor lock-in and rising licensing costs, particularly for regulated industries facing sovereignty mandates.

75% of enterprise data is still locked in legacy systems. 94% of enterprise database migrations run late or over budget. These aren't edge cases, they're the norm.

The migration problem isn't a skills problem. It's a scale and complexity problem. And it's one that human teams alone were never going to solve.

When the migration co-pilot resolves a PL/SQL incompatibility, it's drawing on the same knowledge base that EDB's engineers have built over two decades of Oracle to Postgres work.

The Oracle renewal that felt like a trap now has an exit.

Every migration step runs inside the customer's own environment. No data touches an external system. No third-party tool sees the schema.
