Thread: Postgres 7.4 to Oracle 10g Migration with BLOBs

Postgres 7.4 to Oracle 10g Migration with BLOBs

From

Hi,

I need to migrate a 60 GB Postgres 7.4 running on Linux to Oracle 10g running on Linux RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 4
update4 x86_64 .  I need help with a workable solution. 
I tried pg_dump but it does not allow dumping blobs for migration to Oracle.
I tried a couple of tools but they do not work.
Oracle does not have a tool to do it for Postgres.

I can only think of using ODBC driver but need help where the ODBC should be installed.

Should it be installed on the Oracle server and should it be a Postgres ODBC?  Where can I down load it from?  I
checkedthe postgres.org website but it was not clear whehter I needed to download the dll, mm, or msi! 

Thanks in advance!

Sad to see you go... but dbi-link is likely your friend here.

You'll probably also want to convert the binary data to hex and then
back again, though maybe dbi-link can actually handle binary data
natively.
