Open Source PolarDB Uses Orafce to Support Oracle Compatibility

By digoal

Background

PolarDB's is a cloud-native database that features a computing-storage separation architecture. It offers affordable data storage, efficient scalability, high-speed parallel computing capabilities, and fast data search and processing. By combining PolarDB with computing algorithms, it enables the conversion of data into productivity and drives business data output.

This article describes how open source PolarDB uses orafce to support Oracle compatibility.

The test environment is macos + docker. For more information about deploying PolarDB, see:

Simple Deployment of PolarDB

Install orafce for PolarDB

Install orafce

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/orafce/orafce  
  
cd orafce  
  
USE_PGXS=1 make  
  
USE_PGXS=1 make install

Creat extension orafce

postgres=# create extension orafce ;  
  
CREATE EXTENSION

Test

Configure environment variables. You can use PostgreSQL to directly access PolarDB.
  
export PGHOST=localhost  
psql  
psql (11.9)  
Type "help" for help.  
  
postgres=# \q  
  
Test:  
USE_PGXS=1 make installcheck
