    This enhancement is for a replacement of our current Optim Directory On-prem (Oracle 19c) with an Azure PostgreSQL DB. Although the supported databases are "MS SQL Server, DB2 LUW, Oracle", our future strategy within the bank is to make use of PostgreSQL. Please note that it will help our organization to move to a PAAS or SAAS service for OPTIM, instead of making use of the supported Optim directory DB. Would it be possible to test PostgreSQL DB in Labs as soon as possible?

    This enhancement will help users to move to a PAAS or SAAS service for OPTIM, instead of using SQL MI.
