Is it a simple action to convert a database from PostgreSQL to Oracle ?
Yes, relatively.
Has someone any idea ?
There's a couple ways to do this, but I'd recommend first using pg_dump to export schema only. Your functions and triggers would need to be rewritten, but assuming they're in PL/pgSQL, it's a fairly trivial task to translate them into PL/SQL. As far as the views and sequences are concerned, pull them out of the pg_dump export and re-run them in TOAD, SQL*Plus, or your favorite tool. As far as the type goes, I'm not quite sure what you're doing with it or how it's used, but it should also be easy to migrate. To copy the data and table definitions, I'd use a database link (on the Oracle side) with hsodbc connecting to your PostgreSQL system via ODBC. Now that my advice is done with, could you explain why you need to move to Oracle from PostgreSQL? -- Jonah H.
