migrating from progress dbms

hi, currently we are planning a migration from a progress db to
postgresql, and want to know if somebody has done the same, and what
issues have found during the process.

right now, the first thing we encounter is the fact that (at least in
jdbc) all the table and column names needs to be beteewn double
quotation marks. another is the fact that in progress exist an array
data type.

well, thanks in advance for any help you could provide, and best regards.

Don't use double quotes unless you are asking for trouble!
Double quotes are used for case sensitive identifiers or identifiers
with whitespace characters. Usage of these features is not a good idea.

If you have found that you need them in queries, then your CREATE statements
used case sensitive table/attribute names. This will be a continuous source
of pain and I strongly recommend that you fix your CREATE statements.
