Re: [GENERAL] Oracle to Pg tool
Hi, Another point regarding /contrib or other directory like /tools is to centralize tools for Pg. Also I can't be sure to always have an URL. This one is dependant on the company I'm working now. Life is moving.

Re: [GENERAL] Oracle to Pg tool
Add on on ora2pg. Table grant extraction is done. It is based on group/users grants. Oracle has ROLES that I understand as groups and users associated to these roles. So I create a group for each role and alter it by adding the users. And then set grants to each tables. Let me now if I have to stop to send new update on the list.
