List of Oracle compatible configuration parameters v17

EDB Postgres Advanced Server supports developing and running applications compatible with PostgreSQL and Oracle. You can alter some system behaviors to act in a more PostgreSQL- or in a more Oracle-compliant manner. You control these behaviors by using configuration parameters.

• edb_redwood_date — Controls whether or not a time component is stored in DATE columns. For behavior compatible with Oracle databases, set edb_redwood_date to TRUE.
• edb_redwood_raw_names — Controls whether database object names appear in uppercase or lowercase letters when viewed from Oracle system catalogs. For behavior compatible with Oracle databases, edb_redwood_raw_names is set to its default value of FALSE. To view database object names as they are actually stored in the PostgreSQL system catalogs, set edb_redwood_raw_names to TRUE.
• edb_redwood_strings — Equates NULL to an empty string for purposes of string concatenation operations. For behavior compatible with Oracle databases, set edb_redwood_strings to TRUE.
• edb_stmt_level_tx — Isolates automatic rollback of an aborted SQL command to statement level rollback only – the entire, current transaction is not automatically rolled back as is the case for default PostgreSQL behavior. For behavior compatible with Oracle databases, set edb_stmt_level_tx to TRUE; however, use only when absolutely necessary.
• oracle_home — Point EDB Postgres Advanced Server to the correct Oracle installation directory.
