Hi Gary, I went through a conversion from Oracle to PostgreSQL about 9 months ago.
There's a little bit of documentation in the PostgreSQL manual http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/plpgsql-porting.html or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactiveplpgsql-porting.html
I had ment to submit docs to the manual but never got around to it since they could definately be expanded. The biggest issues I had for my project was that there were no statement level triggers and you couldn't do instead of triggers on views if my memory serves correct. plpgsql is really similar to Oracle plsql and in many cases you don't need to even change syntax. I could even you send the work I did since it was for school if you are interested.
The reference manual for plpgsql can be found at: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/plpgsql.html or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/plpgsql.html
Installing procedural languages: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/xplang.html or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/xplang.html
triggers: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/triggers.html or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/triggers.html
rules: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/rules.html or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/rules.html
sql command syntax (for scripts): http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/sql-commands.html or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-commands.html
Also try searching the mailing here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/
You will probably find many of my old posts when I was converting Oracle to PostgreSQL. Hope this helps you get started.

Hi,
I have a database in Oracle that I want to convert to PostgreSQL.
I have exported the scripts used to create the tables, constraints and sequences in Oracle and wish to convert these to postgreSQL scripts now.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Regards, Gary.
