Oracle Development Services.Fully Compliant,Always.

Our Oracle development services and consulting exist for organizations where the database runs payroll, processes transactions, and holds thirty years of business data. PL/SQL that's maintainable, not legacy spaghetti. RAC configurations that actually failover when tested. Autonomous Database migrations that preserve performance. We work inside Oracle — schemas, patches, HA, and cloud migration — with the discipline enterprise data demands.

Why Entalogics for Oracle

What every Oracle database
consulting company
should fix before anything else.

Every Oracle estate we audit has the same problems — patches two quarters behind, PL/SQL packages with 10,000 lines nobody dares refactor, RAC failover untested since initial setup, and a licensing model so complex nobody knows if they're actually compliant. Oracle is the most capable enterprise database. Most installations don't operate it like one.

Patching01

Quarterly patches turned into annual patches, and nobody noticed the gap widening.

Oracle ships Critical Patch Updates every quarter for a reason — security vulnerabilities, stability fixes, compliance requirements. We apply patches on schedule with tested rollback plans, not six months late because nobody scheduled the downtime window.

PL/SQL02

A 10,000-line procedure mixed validation, DML, and reporting until nobody dared touch it.

Business logic in packages. Data access in separate packages. No monster procedure doing five jobs at once. Refactorable, testable, maintainable PL/SQL that the next DBA can actually read without archaeology.

HA/DR03

RAC and Data Guard were configured once, three years ago, by a contractor who's long gone.

RAC for scale-out, Data Guard for disaster recovery. Switchover tested quarterly with measured RTO/RPO — not assumed to work because it was set up correctly once.

Cloud04

The cloud migration got picked based on a sales pitch, not a workload assessment.

Autonomous Database for workloads that genuinely benefit from auto-tuning and auto-patching. On-prem or Exadata Cloud when compliance, latency, or licensing actually requires it. The decision comes from measurement, not a vendor's roadmap.

When Oracle, when not

Oracle is a platform.
The most expensive one to run wrong.

Oracle licensing, support, and operational complexity exceed any other database platform, and the cost of getting it wrong compounds over decades. We'll tell you honestly on the first call what your Oracle estate actually needs.

STAY ON ORACLE WHEN

  • Mission-critical OLTP — banking, insurance, government — where Oracle's transactional integrity and MAA architecture are unmatched
  • Existing PL/SQL investment represents decades of business logic that would cost millions to rewrite
  • RAC plus Data Guard is your proven HA/DR model, already validated at scale in a regulated industry
  • Oracle applications — E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, Siebel — specifically require Oracle Database underneath them

CONSIDER MIGRATION WHEN

  • Licensing costs exceed the value Oracle adds — PostgreSQL handles many OLTP workloads at zero license cost
  • A new workload has no Oracle dependency — don't buy Oracle licensing for a greenfield project without a specific reason
  • Cloud-native architecture fits better — Aurora, Cloud SQL, or Azure SQL without Oracle's operational overhead

WE SAY NO WHEN

  • "Oracle because it's enterprise-grade" — that's marketing, not a requirements analysis
  • "Migrate away from Oracle in four weeks" — data, PL/SQL, and licensing unwinding takes months
  • "Skip patching because it requires downtime" — that's how breaches happen

What we build on Oracle

Oracle development services
and consulting we deliver.

Eight ways this work shows up for real clients. Each one built for long-term stability, not just a clean go-live.

  • S01

    PL/SQL development and refactoring

    Packages, procedures, and functions built with proper separation of concerns. Legacy PL/SQL refactored into maintainable, testable units. No more 10,000-line procedures nobody wants to touch.

    Oracle RAC and Data Guard consulting

    RAC for scale-out HA. Data Guard for cross-site DR. Switchover tested and documented, with RTO and RPO measured, not assumed.

    Oracle E-Business Suite support

    Backend performance tuning, PL/SQL customization, and integration work for organizations running EBS on Oracle Database. Stable underlying infrastructure for the application layer running on top of it.

    Oracle managed services and remote DBA

    Ongoing monitoring, patch scheduling, performance reviews, and incident response — so the estate we remediated doesn't quietly drift back into the compliance and stability problems we were hired to fix.

The playbook

Oracle development
patterns we ship on repeat.

Patterns from real enterprise Oracle estates, not Oracle University labs.

  • P01

    Packaged PL/SQL with utPLSQL testing

    Business logic in packages. Unit tested with utPLSQL. Test coverage on critical procedures. Refactored code that survives the next DBA handover.

  • P02

    Quarterly CPU patching on schedule

    Applied in test, validated, promoted to production within the quarter. Rollback plan documented. No skipped quarters, no audit surprises.

  • P03

    RAC and Data Guard switchover tested quarterly

    Switchover executed, RTO measured, RPO validated, documentation updated. The HA configuration that works when it needs to, not just when it was originally set up.

  • P04

    AWR-driven tuning

    AWR snapshots analyzed for top SQL, wait events, and resource contention. SQL Tuning Advisor recommendations validated and applied, with measured improvement on every change.

  • P05

    Zero Downtime Migration to OCI

    ZDM for migrating to Autonomous Database or Exadata Cloud. Performance baselined before migration. PL/SQL compatibility validated. Cutover with near-zero downtime.

  • P06

    Licensing feature usage audit

    `DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS` reviewed regularly. Features enabled but not licensed identified before Oracle does. BYOL assessment factored into every cloud migration's cost model.

Signature case

A banking platform,
patched, tuned, and migrated to Autonomous Database.

A regional bank on Oracle 19c on-prem — patches 9 months behind, AWR showing top SQL consuming 60% of CPU, Data Guard switchover untested for 2 years, and licensing compliance unknown. Applied patches, tuned top 15 SQL statements, tested Data Guard switchover, audited licensing, and migrated the reporting workload to Autonomous Database in 14 weeks. CPU utilisation dropped 40%. Switchover RTO confirmed at 45 seconds.

Before

19c, 9 months unpatched · top SQL at 60% CPU · DG untested · licensing unknown

After

FAQ

Oracle development —
questions we get on every call.

Stay vs migrate, Autonomous DB, licensing, cost, EBS support — in roughly the order people ask.
Stay if you have significant PL/SQL investment, RAC/Data Guard HA requirements, or Oracle applications that mandate Oracle Database. Migrate to PostgreSQL for new workloads with no Oracle dependency where licensing cost exceeds the value. We model both paths honestly before recommending either.
Autonomous for workloads that benefit from auto-tuning, auto-patching, and elastic scaling, especially reporting and analytics. On-prem or Exadata Cloud when compliance, latency, or existing RAC architecture requires it.
Query `DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS` to see which features are actually in use. Partitioning, OLAP, and the Diagnostics Pack all require separate licenses most teams don't realize they've triggered. We audit this and flag violations before Oracle's own audit team does.
Outsourced Oracle DBA support typically runs a fraction of a full-time senior DBA's salary and benefits, while giving you a team instead of one person's coverage gaps. The week-one audit gives you real numbers specific to your estate's size and complexity.
Yes — backend performance tuning, PL/SQL customization, and database-layer integration for organizations running EBS. We work on the Oracle Database underneath it, keeping that foundation stable for the application layer above.
Yes. The engineers who write the RFC do the work. No handoff mid-engagement, no account manager in between.
