Keep in mind that it is likely that a significant portion of the data access code may need to be rewritten unless you are using an ORM that does the conversion for you.  Most apps can't be migrated directly from Oracle to Postgres.  Based on the questions you are asking, I seriously suggest you contact a company that assists with migrations in order to answer your questions and highlight the issues you may be facing.

Hi Listers,

Say we have this App->DB connectivity Model.

APP1
Contains synonyms which point to objects under APP1.

APPOWN
Contains the tables, indexes

And it is a Java application that connects to APP1.

Now when the database is switched from Oracle 19c onprem to CloudSQL Postgres say v15.
Questions that I have:

1. What needs to be done at the database end in terms of schema setup in order to ensure the application is able to connect to the relevant tables without any concerns? 
2. Do I need to create users APP1 and APPOWN in postgres? If so, what privileges are required to be assigned to these?
3. How to tie them with service accounts?
4. With which username/service account does the application make  connection to the database?

I still don't understand user/schema concepts in postgres tbh as I'm still a noob :)
