Every database migration has a story. And after enough Oracle and SQL Server projects landing on PostgreSQL, one pattern keeps repeating: the things that sink a migration are rarely the big, obvious ones. They're the small, quiet decisions made early - the ones that look harmless in a test environment and only reveal their real cost once the system is live and under load.
