Several times, I have seen some discussions talking about AWS outages or Azure outages or some specific cloud services being down. I now believe that people also become similarly concerned when Claude like GenAI assistants are down, especially when you have taught it all the relevant skills, and waiting for it to execute a task.

Re:Benchmarking Claude Code for Oracle to PostgreSQL Migrations on Sunday June 14, 2026 @02:44PM (#48531030)
We tried Claude Code vs our migration tool: HexaRocket, for Oracle to PostgreSQL code objects conversion with varying complexities.

While HexaRocket is a commercial tool, it is interesting to point that Claude Code, as expected, was never deterministic.

Sometimes, Claude Code provides incorrect conversions that appear correct, but can be very wrong.

Re:Pg_utl_SMTP for PostgreSQL Like Oracle Utl_SMTP on Thursday January 22, 2026 @05:25PM (#46725930)
This extension emulates Oracle's UTL_SMTP in PostgreSQL to send emails from database.

This is to only simplify rewrites of stored procedures during Oracle to PostgreSQL migrations.

These days, it is very common to see websites with dark backgrounds.I ran a poll within my company and it seems like many love the dark background of our Website.Www.hexarocket.comBut while speaking to a few folks within my professional network, they say it's better to choose the light background.Does one really care the background color of a website ?Or one would just skip reading because of...

Re:Pgxpool go driver is the best connection pooler for PostgreSQL on Friday February 07, 2025 @07:19AM (#42971763)
There is no doubt a debate around Client-side and Server-side connection pooler. But, utilizing the Client-side connection pooling using such advanced drivers should never be taken lightly.

Understood. It is no doubt the maintenance and the time to build. However, it does take some efforts to build Oracle forms that requires a good amount of development time in PL/SQL and for customization of forms screens.

Curious to understand the reason of not choosing a modern UI and backend using Open Source tech stack such as React/Java/Golang/PostgreSQL ?

Ask HN: Oracle Forms to Oracle Apex or a Latest Tech Stack?

Oracle Forms is a technology platform originally designed to develop and deploy database-driven applications, especially for Oracle Databases.I have mostly seen organizations gradually move from Oracle Forms to Oracle Apex.Is it a bad choice in moving to an Open-Source Tech Stack using React for UI and Java/Golang/others for Backend and PostgreSQL as the DB Engine.If you ever used Oracle Forms,...

There was a discussion earlier on HN whether it is OK to steal content if its open on Web.

However, the extension to that is the Copyrights now. According to me, as long as the Idea creator is a Human, it should not matter if its AI and any LLM creating the art.

The human who gives the prompt may be the Author. This can be concerning but challenging for Legal.
