MD5 would be 'char(34)' - MD5 produces a 32 character result, and Postrgesql adds a 2 character tag. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgcrypto.html CLOB would be be 'text', or equivalently, 'varchar' without a length qualifier. Postgresql does not distinguish character LOBs as a separate type, and 'text' is just shorthand for unlimited 'varchar'. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-character.html I had to look up odcivarchar2list - according to the Oracle docs it is a 'varray(m) of varchar(n)'. The equivalent in Postgresql would be 'varchar(n)[m]'. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/arrays.html Hope this helps.
