Tables which have an identity column in Oracle when migrated to PostgreSQL, the data type of Identity column is changed to bigint from number by the tools. This causes the size of column to be reduced to max value supported by bigint which is way lower than the oracle number max.
Sequences in PostgreSQL are limited to bigint, there is nothing that can be changed about that. But you are approximately the first person to complain that the range of ids provided by bigint is too small, so maybe it's worth reconsidering whether it would work for you. If it really is too small, maybe a uuid would work. But yes, you'll need to make some adjustments to the rest of your database or application code if you make such changes.
