Look into ora2pg https://ora2pg.darold.net/. I used it successfully years
ago, and it has been enhanced since. We migrated from a local Oracle
database to Google Cloud SQL PostgreSQL. There are differences that you
will have to repair manually, but the ora2pg website documents many of
them. There is also orafce https://github.com/orafce/orafce which contains
things like Oracle compatible date routines. I chose to fix the code
rather than use it as I wanted to remove all Oracle dependencies as much as
possible, but it does work.

Good luck.

Eric
