There is no ready-made solution for this from the PostgreSQL side.
You could check with Oracle if they provide something like that
with their "Golden Gate".
What you could do is to have a trigger record all changes to the Oracle
table in a separate log table and regularly run a program that pulls those
changes from the log table and applies them to a PostgreSQL table,
deleting the log entries as it goes.
You could write such a thing as PostgreSQL function using oracle_fdw,
but you need PostgreSQL 9.3 if you want to update Oracle data that way.
