You're going to need to use your brain for a fair portion of this,
because how you use oracle will be just different enough from everyone
else that no boxed solution.

You have two steps to work on.  The first is the DDL, to create
equivalent tables in pgsql as in oracle, the second is to migrate over
your data.

I've generally done the ddl conversion by hand in an editor, and
migrated data over with some scripting language like perl or php.
