Re: transfer data from oracle to postgres

Hi Sarah,

These is some information about converting from Oracle to PostgreSQL
here:

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/

On the front page there is a section called "Converting from other
Databases to PostgreSQL" and there is information there about converting
from Oracle to PostgreSQL.

Under the category of "Non-specific", there is a link to a conversion
guide by the pgAdmin development team which might also prove to be
useful (not sure).

Hope that helps.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
