Hello,

I am an Oracle DBA and I want do a Postgresql ‘proof of concept’ at the large corporation where I work to test the benefits of using Postgresql in our environment. I want to install Postgresql onto a “production” server that currently runs Oracle. Are there any problems with running Postgresql and Oracle on the same machine? I mean, I’ve heard that the way Sybase and DB2 UDB are architected to handle memory hurts Sybase when DB2 UDB is installed on the same machine as the Sybase Server (something about UDB eating up all the memory and not giving it back to Sybase).

 

Are there any issues running Postgresql and Oracle on the same machine…anything special to know about memory, disk layout, and things like that? I just want to make sure the two engines play together on this same server. I had a hard time finding information about this via google.

 

Thank you for your time!
