I am still waiting for all valid gborg projects to be moved to pgfoundry.
How many years has that been in the air?

I know people have said they would complete these items, but they have
had sufficient time, and it is time to bring in other people for the job.

Our web site is looking great and is well organized. It is time for us
to do the same for add-on projects.

ora2pg tool can be used to accomplish the migration from oracle to
postgresql.
download it from here...
http://freshmeat.net/projects/ora2pg/

The one in contib directory is an old version i guess.

About clob, blob, and long columns in Oracle all become 'text' in
postgresql.

As I browse through the contrib directory I find an Oracle directory with
example perl scripts to do just as your asking.

Yes.
But Oracle is completely useless at dumping data. You may want to use
the sqltool in HSQLDB (http://hsqldb.org/) or similar that is able to
connect both to Oracle and PG.

PLSQL developer is also able to do a connection to both but is
commercial software.

Alternatively, if you are really adventurous, set up a JDBC link to the
PG table via DBLINK in Oracle and then pump across that way.

Hello,
I have some tables containing clob, blob, and long columns in Oracle,
Is it possible to migrate these tables into PostgresQL along with data

Turns out I can't really make a patch that removes files without write access
to CVS. There's some funky things you can do with diff -N and patch -E but
seems like a pain. Attached is a patch that at least updates the general
contrib README and Makefile, someone else will have to actually delete the
files in the oracle/ directory. (If yall want to give me write access, I
could spend some time cleaning up some more of these) Oh, and no special
write up for the README, looking at some of the other contribs that did get
removed, apparently we don't do that, but the commit should probably at least
mention the project page, http://freshmeat.net/projects/ora2pg/
