Hmm, I'm not sure Don Baccus follows this list, otherwise I'd let him answer this one (since it's his doc I'm going to point you at). Mostly we like to encourage people to go the other way, but we all know there are reasons why on might have to stop using postgresql. Still, is there an interesting reason? Some feature missing that you've got to have? The developer's would like to know! Anyway, there's a porting guide for Oracle -> Postgresql at: http://www.openacs.org/doc/openacs/html/oracle-to-pg-porting.html You should be able to use that in reverse, as it were. Ross -- Ross J.
