Re: Oracle to Pg tool

Hi All,

I'm willing to put all PostgreSQL related matter on the techdocs site,
or link to it, as the case may be.  Is that of any assistance?

Some stuff is definitely better in /contrib, as it is "already there"
with PostgreSQL, some stuff might not be.  Database conversion tools
probably are better in /contrib is my thought though...   time to
clarify rules?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
