What it does

The hard part is moving PLSQL to PostgreSQL without rewriting everything by hand. So I made a tool that does it for you. plsql2pgsql transcompiles PL/SQL into PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL or PL/Python3u. Packages, triggers, functions, procedures, XML, dynamic SQL, bulk operations, collection methods, it all works. One command, no runtime dependencies, no server install. Get clean output ready to run. Ultra fast. Built by FWLAB. Initial release for Ubuntu, other platforms to follow

The only tool that parses Oracle PL/SQL with a real grammar and transpiles it to PostgreSQL – not with regex band-aids, but with an ANTLR4 parser that understands what it’s reading.The Problem Nobody Talks AboutOracle-to-PostgreSQL migration has a dirty secret: everyone focuses on schema and data migration, but the hard part is the PL/SQL code.There are tools that’ll move your tables, indexes, and

  • PgQueuer – Transform PostgreSQL into a Job Queue2024 · github.com · ▲376

    PgQueuer is a Python job queue that uses PostgreSQL for everything — queue storage, locking, notifications. No Redis, no RabbitMQ, no separate broker to operate. If your app already has Postgres, you already have the broker. After ~2 years and 26 minor releases, 1.0 ships today as the first stable release. Strict semver from here on. Thanks to everyone who contributed and left feedback!

  • PRQL in PostgreSQL2024 · github.com · ▲267

    This extension let's you write PRQL functions in PostgreSQL. When I first saw PRQL on Hacker News a few months ago, I was immediately captivated by the idea, yet equally disappointed that there was no integration for PostgreSQL. Having previous experience with writing PostgreSQL extensions in C, I thought this was a great opportunity to try out the pgrx framework and decided to integrate PRQL with PostgreSQL myself. The maintainers of both PRQL and pgrx were very nice to work with. Thanks guys.

    Hi everyone — thanks for your interest in PRQL — let us know any questions or feedback! We're excited to be releasing 0.2[1], the first version of PRQL you can use in your own projects. It wouldn't exist without the feedback we got from HackerNews when we originally posted the proposal. [1]: https://github.com/prql/prql/releases/tag/0.2.0

  • uplpgsql – PL/pgSQL compiled to native codeJul 2026 · github.com · ▲10

    uplpgsql compiles PL/pgSQL to native code. It took over twenty years to get here, but here it is. On July 19, 2005, I demoed my optimizing PL/SQL compiler to Andy Astor, Denis Lussier, and Jim Mlodgenski at EnterpriseDB; PL/SQL packages, procedures, and functions ran on Postgres at native speed, not interpreted. While they didn't acquire it, they brought me on as a founding engineer focused on Oracle Database compatibility and performance. Then, on November 20, 2014, long after we'd both left, Denis suggested I make it a universal PL compiler that didn't care which dialect it…

    I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
