    <application>ora2pgpro</application> is a tool used to migrate
    an <productname>Oracle</productname> database to a
    <productname>Postgres Pro</productname> compatible schema. It connects
    your <productname>Oracle</productname> database, scans
    it automatically and extracts its structure or data, then generates
    SQL scripts that you can load into your <productname>Postgres Pro</productname>
    database.
    <application>ora2pgpro</application> can be used for anything from
    reverse engineering of an <productname>Oracle</productname> database
    to huge enterprise database migration or simply replicating some
    <productname>Oracle</productname> data into a
    <productname>Postgres Pro</productname> database. It does not require
    any <productname>Oracle</productname> database
    knowledge other than providing the parameters needed to connect
    to the <productname>Oracle</productname> database.
