Re: old OS

Hi Tom,

the data in the redhat 6.5 machine is NOT in Postgres, its in an old Oracle
instance, 4TB of it.
So I am working on a way to extract it to a file or, better to a pipe.
If I was able to get a local psql then, fine, i'll pipe the flow to it,
done.(almost...)

If no local postgres tool, as said, I will try to pipe data through the
network,
but this imply that data will be put exactly as psql, on the new machine,
will be able to 'ingest' it.
easy for most things, somewhat more boring for blobs...
