Thread: 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 am wondering if anyone on the list has pointers/conversion utilities for undertakingthis 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 -- +----| http://fslc.usu.edu USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club|------+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net http://www.sdl.usu.edu - Space Dynamics Lab, Web Developer Backup not found: (Q)uem mandou usar o Stacker?
