A PostgreSQL migration tool makes unsupported conversions explicit
pgrecon assesses Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migrations from an offline schema dump rather than connecting directly to either database. A deterministic rule engine reports difficult constructs with source-line evidence, while a converter emits PostgreSQL definitions for supported cases. Anything it cannot translate faithfully goes into a separate residue report instead of silently disappearing from the output. This supports reviewable migration planning, while leaving unsupported behavior for engineers to resolve.

Why it matters
A migration report is more useful when it names what was not converted and shows the evidence behind each warning.
More context
The announcement describes version 0.7.3 under Apache 2.0. Analysis requires Python 3.11 or newer; a DBA reviews and runs the read-only SQL*Plus extraction script. Try the bundled sample dump before a real assessment. The project reports automated Oracle extraction and PostgreSQL application checks.
Keep in mind
This is a pre-1.0 tool. Applying generated definitions does not prove application-level equivalence, and the maintainer’s effort estimates and sample conversion results should not be treated as guarantees for another database.
