Please, post to a single mailing list at a time in the future.

I've done such migration in the past. I don't recommend attepting to
migrate the SQL between dialects. That is a sure way to run into much
trouble as there are many minor differences between the schemas.

You can relatively easily do an AIP export [1] of the whole site from
your Oracle repository and import the AIP into your DSpace/Postgres
installation. Of course, I recommend you to install a new empty
DSpace/Postgres on a separate machine in parallel with the old one
before you do the migration. In general, I recommend against in-place
upgrades.

Once you succeed migrating the contents, you may want to migrate the
usage data (Solr statistics), too. I described my migration process
here [2]. That one is specific to DSpace 5. Keep in mind that newer
versions use UUIDs as internal identifiers for objects, so there will
be some modifications needed.
