Bit more info (from my own findings migrating from Oracle -> Postgres)
Sequences - YES Packages - NO (concept doesn't exist in PG) Functions - YES, Procedures - NO (also no INOUT or OUT parameters) Full-text - YES, tSearch2 Triggers - YES Jobs - NO, (but scheduled tasks can be implemented in other ways) Synonyms - NO (can be frigged using search_paths and schemas) Replication - more than one option depending on requirement
You will miss certain Oracle features, but once you get into the swing of postgres you'll not look back. Also consider how much money you'll save in license fees!
