I need to porting many old ORACLE-oriented-SQL files and I have many
problem with this code. Sometimes the code use some types not supported
in PosgSQL like "number" or "varchar2", there fore, can I write some
type of declaration (like in c : #define alias_name name) in order to
make PosgSQL recognize these types? Or there are other solution that you
recommend to use ?
You might look into the contrib package "ora2pg".
There's also a more ambitious project called "protopg".
That's in pre-alpha state, though. A development snapshots
for the *very* *adventurous* can be obtained here:

Bye, Chris.
Thank you, but nothing work.
1. The orafce from www.pgfoundry.org doesn't pass the make step, is
looking for some files that doesn't exist, see below:
orafce : make
Makefile:16: ../../src/Makefile.global: No such file or directory
Makefile:17: /contrib/contrib-global.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/contrib/contrib-global.mk'. Stop.
2. ora2pg, looks like something that extract DB schemes from a running
oracle DB, but I have not ORACLE running. I just have old ORACLE/SQL
sources that I need parser to SQL or PostgSQL.
3. About the ambitious project "protopg", I success to compile this
projects but the parser fall. The parse have a problem with a word
"CONSTRAINT", see below:
protopg-20060905 : ./ora_parser < tes.sql
-- syntax error, unexpected "CONSTRAINT", expecting ORA_ID on line 6 --
-- BEGIN OF UNRECOGNIZED STATEMENT
CREATE TABLE v5templates . cmt_items ( item_id NUMBER ( 7 ) ,
template_id NUMBER ( 7 ) , page_title VARCHAR2 ( 100 ) , CONSTRAINT
pk_cmt PRIMARY KEY ( item_id ) ) ;
-- END OF UNRECOGNIZED STATEMENT
I will try debug it, or maybe send a mail to the developer/contacts.
Any way, thank very much, Gustavo
