It's typically "not hard", but it depends on what you're doing w/ Oracle. Specifically, things like stored procedures (PL/SQL) may require updates, if you're using RAC under Oracle, etc. > I can get the Oracle schema DDL by pointing our > Data Modeling software at the Red Hat Satellite server and extracting the > DDL.

The differences are signifigant enough that I wouldn't start with an old major version if you have the option. I'd recommend looking at 9.0.3 to start, or at least 8.4.7. I've found that Ora2Pg works quite well for getting the schema and data across. Thanks, Stephen
