Ora2Pg

Version 24.3 of Ora2Pg, a free and reliable tool used to migrate an Oracle database to PostgreSQL, has been officially released and is publicly available for download.

This release fixes several issues reported since last release and especially a regression in GEOMETRY data export. As usual, it also adds some new features and improvements.

  • Add new configuration directive ORACLE_FDW_PREFETCH to control the "prefetch" used by oracle_fdw COPY/INSERT. Prior to this change Ora2Pg uses the default "prefetch" of oracle_fdw, which at the time of writing is 50. Allowing this to be controlled by an Ora2Pg configuration/option gives the option of increased performance at the cost of some additional memory on the PostgreSQL side.

  • Add new configuration directive PGTT_NOSUPERUSER. By default the pgtt extension is loaded using the superuser privilege when EXPORT_GTT is activated. Enabled it if you run the SQL scripts generated using a non superuser user. It will use: LOAD '$libdir/plugins/pgtt'; instead of LOAD 'pgtt';

Backward compatibility changes:

  • Modify the behavior of triggers export with EXPORT_INVALID. It used to apply to ENABLED or DISABLED triggers instead of real VALID or INVALID triggers. Export of invalid triggers will be controlled by EXPORT_INVALID like others objects like functions, packages, etc. This mean that disabled triggers that are valid will be exported by default now, this was not the case before.
