Summary

Migrating from a commercial database like Oracle is not about covering its full set of features, but rather staying in control of the software that processes and stores enterprise data. YugabyteDB offers an alternative with no locks, relying on optimistic locking to avoid response time issues and prevent non-scalable waits. The database supports both SERIALIZABLE and READ COMMITTED isolation levels, providing a more-than-viable option for those looking to leave Oracle behind.
