Obviously 'number' is not PostgreSQL data type so is 'varchar2'. What
is your suggestion to create these tables in PostgreSQL? Should I
pre-process using Sed/Awk to find/replace the field type first? Any
recommendation is greatly appreciated :)
change number to numeric, and varchar2 to char and you'll likely be good.
My guess would have been that varchar is the equivalent to varchar2
char does a blank padding and is different in behaviour to varchar (as it is in
Oracle)
