PostgreSQL Services

In addition to our Database Migration Services for migrating legacy non-relational databases to relational databases and migrating proprietary relational databases to Open Source PostgreSQL databases, Bull offers the following PostgreSQL Services.

If you're intrigued by the potential of PostgreSQL, and like the idea of saving money on license fees and support costs as made possible with an Open Source database product like PostgreSQL, you can certainly opt to support your new PostgreSQL database on your own. Such support can be appealing to certain types of IT users if they have the right skills set.

However, you may prefer not to do your own thing (so to speak) because Bull can offer you the best of both worlds. Bull's PostgreSQL Services are reasonably priced and comprehensive, thereby providing the savings of Open Source without the risks.

PostgreSQL Database Design & Build

Typically the design of a PostgreSQL database has more areas for consideration, especially if involves a migration from another database environment.

Database Performance & Tuning

Full analysis of your database operation with isolated "hot spots" to indicate where performance could be improved.

Various tools for analysis, and extensive experience with enterprise databases and applications, can result in performance enhancements to PostgreSQL.

Database Administration

PostgreSQL database administration tasks.
This unique, 5-day course is based on the extensive experience of administrators,
developers and technical support staff.

Forms & Reports Migration

In partnership with Release 3, Oracle forms and reports are automatically written into Java functions. Transform 5 (TF5) is a highly automated tool that easily handles Business Logic and complete migrations. The toolkit eliminates a significant amount of manual work and automates the binding process. Its powerful capabilities can help automate migration projects by 80-90%.
