Sandeep Kumar,
> Can we convert from Postgres to Oracle !!???
technically: partial. Oracle supports most of the bleeding edge
enterprise features of PostgreSQL. There are some limits however, esp.
concerning inheritance, arbitrary length text fields and especially
the missing support for pl/python, pl/pgsql and pl/perl. You might be
able to replace those advanced features of PostgreSQL using PL/SQL.
There are external database development tools available for Oracle if
you need to match the functionality of PostgreSQLs integrated clients
psql and pgAdmin III.
support-wise: please ask your Oracle authorized support contract
consultant to find out which Oracle support plan gives you a support
comparable to the PostgreSQL one with the possibility to directly
correspond with the database core architects and developers as well as
unlimited access to the applications source code.
economically: not enough information to give a fitting answer. But if
you need a high cash burn rate to attract certain kinds of investors,
Oracle will propably make that easier.
Best wishes,
Harald

Python: the only language with more web frameworks than keywords.
