There exists a second reason to walk my way. I work with PostGIS. To update PostGIS you need to replace different functions, operators etc. for it it exists an update process which expect the use of a TOC list. I think the best way is to patch this pg_restore bug -

I guess what I am concerned about *is* running on a production server more than a test server. Basically, I'd be taking a couple applications that are running on the Oracle database instance, building a Postgresql instance, and migrating them to that postgresql database instance.

Basically, we want to take 3 of the 10 applications running on Oracle, move them to Postgresql on the same computer/server and just make sure it runs about the same (really speed, memory usage, and space are the big issues).

It depends how you have your Oracle instance configured. If you have it set up so that the total SGA and UGA ammount consume around 80%-90% of total available memory, then this is obviously only going to leave postgress with 20% or less of the total available memory. Postgres is also designed to
