This a really cool feature being added to Postgres 14. Each version is coming up with one or more features that is enabling more Oracle to PostgreSQL migrations. Move to Open Source :)

What advantages do Oracle databases have over PostgreSQL or even SQLite?

I would not trust Oracle software after reading this:

The world just started moving to PostgreSQL from Oracle. More and More migrations are expected. However, some commercial vendors are trying to side-track the Crowd by creating Vendor lock-in stating they provide Enterprise features on Postgres through their commercial forks.

However, is PostgreSQL not already an Enterprise Grade ?

I hope the world understands the capabilities of Community (Open Source) PostgreSQL and do not get carried away by the some of the commercial vendors.

There's someone your boss can call on the phone and yell at. That's it really, aside from legacy dependency.

You can pay to get your blocking bug corrected in priority. However, if you have a bug and no service contract, it may not even be looked at...
