Hi Shane,

Not to be contrarian, but I think this started without Oracle... all of this.

As far as I can tell, this string started with an awesome post from Justin Clift that didn't have anything to do with Oracle:
"Just stumbled over something I never thought I'd see. ;)

There's a PostgreSQL "Activity Book" now.  Like, those books
for kids:

The Story Behind the Activity Book for Postgres<https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-database-for-postgresql/the-story-behind-the-activity-b...;
Read the story behind “An Activity Book for Postgres”. What inspired its creation? How can you get your own copy?
techcommunity.microsoft.com


And it's from MS of all places (!!!).

I guess we can say PG truly has a wide audience these days,
it's being introduced to kids. ;)

+ Justin"

I think for some clarity ...

this started with "Oracle now supports PostgreSQL"

So "Oracle the company" does provide support for standard PostgreSQL
software running within an Oracle Cloud instance.

"Oracle the database" does not provide any support as far as
(non-standard) SQL compatibility with PostgreSQL schema designs or
functions/procedures etc


Then in the opposite direction, the EDB version of PostgreSQL does add
some level of SQL and cli support for running PostgreSQL as a
replacement for an Oracle DB backend.
