EuroDB is fully compatible with PostgreSQL 14.1, 13.3, 12.4 and 11.9. Migration from the native implementation of this engine does not require any changes to the applications. Possible changes are simple, optional, and they aim to improve the use of the additional capabilities of EuroDB.

The following table includes some features which illustrate the difference in the capabilities of the engine used in the EuroDB compared to the native PostgreSQL implementation available in Red Hat®, Oracle® Linux, CentOS, and Scientific Linux.
