Some things that came up in a migration that i participated:
- Refactoring from PL/SQL to PL/pgSQL
- If there is SP (functions, procedures, triggers) DML must be brought to
ANSI SQL
- Validate field data types, anticipating transformation edges
- Atomicity and Rollback, in PostgreSQL transactions are canceled for
complete when there is an error.
- PostgreSQL does not support autonomous transactions (PRAGMA
AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION)
- PostgreSQL does not contemplate Synonyms.

I hope it helps you
