Oracle -> Postgresql migration

Hello,
  I am currently in the process of attempting an Oracle 8i to Postgresql 7.0.3 migration.  The table conversions were pretty straight forward, and I have all of the tables ported over (with some minor datatype conversions).  The stored procedures are a different case altogether.  I am wondering if anyone on the list has pointers/conversion utilities for undertaking this task.  Any information is welcome.

I wrote a "Porting from Oracle PL/SQL" document that was added to the
PL/pgSQL documentation in 7.1. It has lots of useful info on how to port
to PL/pgSQL.You can find this document under the Programmer's manual on the PG 7.1
documentation (development docs).This week I will change that document to become more generic and add
information on how to change some Oracle'isms (e.g. nvl, decode, etc.) to
PostgreSQL, sticking to the standard where possible.-Roberto
