Well like I said it depends on your oracle`s database structure(the logical structure - tables,tablespace and so on..) and on the migration tool that you will use. If the database are small maybe consider using oracle_fdw to the oracle`s tables for the deltas. I didnt search online but maybe there is a tool that can manage logical replication between oracle and postgresql and that might help you.

Thanks Mariel.

 

Also if any help on moving the delta part post migration process , any tools which is intelligent enough to identify the delta part.

 

There will be a period of 3 days between Migration and Cutover(Delta)

 

Thanks

Soumik

Hi,

It is very depends on the structure of your database. Before starting try to know everything  about your database - schemas, object types and so on.. Ora2pg is a great tool but sometimes isnt enough for all migrations. Check out oracle_fdw("dblink" to oracle database) and orafce (oracle internal functions for postgresql).
