[SQL] Porting from PL/SQL to PLPGSQL

[Jomon Skariah]

Hi All,

We are in the process of migrating of our application from Oracle to
PostGreSQL.


we are  facing a few problems with PL/SQL Code..


1)      In Oracle sqlplus we can run sql script files as @script_name;
        How do we do the same in PostGres.
        Also is there any replacement for "&&" in PostGres ?


        Eg:
                CREATE USER CATALOG
                IDENTIFIED BY &ORA_PASSWORD
                DEFAULT TABLESPACE &DFLT_TABLESPACE
                TEMPORARY TABLESPACE &TEMP_TABLESPACE


2)      In PostGres a function can not take more 16 arguments.We have some
procedures which are taking more than 
        16 arguements.So how can we convert them into PostGres.



Can anyone give some valuable suggestions..


Regards

Joe.
