I was on a project trying to migrate off Oracle and they wanted to just dump all historic data to CSVs.

I pointed out they'd lose a lot of the integrity and audit features built into a database.

I get wanting to be free from Oracle but go to another database.

I wonder how that happened.

Maybe someone proposed Postgres and they said well who is going to support it. And then they'd have to pay some company to show they have postgres support anyway.

CSV has no support.
