I would think that patching postgres will be no less challenging than
fixing the legacy code... unless you really have a few tons of it or you
simply can't do it (no access for e.g.). But in any case, you will NOT
be able to simply use you're legacy code designed for Oracle with
postgres. You will have to rewrite some parts of it... we do support now
both postgres and Oracle, and I have to say it took quite some time and
a few nasty surprises until everything was stable on postgres. Just
making it work will not make it work fast... postgres is a different
beast, needs different tuning.

Cheers,
Csaba.
