You don't need this, postgresql doesn't choke on extra lines.

Now, we need to use real SQL 99 types here, or specific postgresql
types. And don't quote unless you need to. PostgreSQL folds to lower
case, not upper case, so if you quote upper case here, you'll always
have to quote in the future. Better to just not quote, in my humble
opinion.
So, "LEPAPE" will become lepape
VARCHAR2(16) will become varchar(16)
NUMBER will become either
decimal or numeric
NOT NULL is still NOT NULL
and the check constraint will look the same too. again unless you
require upper case, leave the SYS_C009967 lower case, and better yet,
give it a useful name, like lepape_measure_check
CREATE TABLE "LEPAPE"."EXPERIENCE"(
"EXP_ID" VARCHAR2(16) NOT NULL,
"MEASURE" VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
"THRESHOLD" NUMBER NOT NULL,
"NB_NODES" NUMBER(3) NOT NULL,
"TOTAL_TIME" VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
"SC_ID" NUMBER(6) NOT NULL,
"GRANULARITY" VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "SYS_C009967" CHECK(measure in ('age', 'num','order')))
