Oracle to Postgresql conversion

Hallo All,

Does anyone know how I can convert an application written with Oracle Portal (including Apache), Oracle
packages, procedures, functions, etc. and PSP
(a mixture of
PL/SQL and HTML).

One suggestion is that the new application could access PostgreSQL from within Apache using Java Servlet
pages: if there were any tools to convert the
code, then
that would be fine, but I expect there are not. PostgreSQL recommend PHP, but I think with Apache we must use
the second choice, namely Java? Is
there a chance of
using a front-end, or is that an expensive solution? I have no worries about PL/SQL, because there are
conversion utilities available!

Regards,

Re: Oracle to Postgresql conversion

Bob, there's a app (in contrib I think) named ora2pg. You can easily duplicate structures like tables, index, constraints, sequences, views... but you need to put your hands on every pl/sql procedure, function and package.
