PostgreSQL is the world's most powerful Open Source database. Sirius is Europe's leading provider of PostgreSQL consultancy services, 24/7 technical support and training.

Sirius employs some of the PostgreSQL community's key contributors and provides support for some of the world's most complex PostgreSQL deployments. We can help you migrate your software applications to work with PostgreSQL to deliver a seamless solution for your mission-critical applications.

Our professional project management team will supervise the migration, implemention, support and maintenance of your PostgreSQL solution with full integration into existing systems and platforms.

PostgreSQL Migration Services

We specialise in migrating applications away from high-cost databases such as Oracle and Sybase to PostgreSQL.

• Easy stored procedure conversion
• Excellent syntax compatibility
• Transaction log shipping
• Asynchronous master to slave replication
• Table spaces

PostGIS

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension.

Sirius is actively involved in the development of PostGIS.
