Microsoft has unveiled new capabilities and service tiers in the Azure database space, including Hyperscale for PostgreSQL, APIs for Apache Spark and etcd, and online migrations for Oracle databases.

Relational database provider EnterpriseDB (EDB) on Tuesday said it has started offering a new Oracle -to- Postgres migration service, dubbed EDB Guaranteed Postgres Migration program.

Among the new updates is Google's AlloyDB AI, which brings vector embeddings to the PostgreSQL compatible cloud database.

This capability is vital for customers looking to move applications or data from Oracle database to PostgreSQL and benefit from its superior usability and reduced operational and licensing costs.
