orafce defines oracle.date as timestamp(0) [0] because Oracle's DATE type has
a precision of one second [1]. That's the point of orafce: to provide Oracle
compatibility.
You can cast oracle.date to pg_catalog.date but then you're in Postgres
territory again. Depends on what you want to achieve. If it's just formatting
use oracle.to_char:
SELECT oracle.to_char('2023-04-27'::oracle.date, 'YYYY-MM-DD');
