We are using Liquibase as a schema migration tool which allows us to
specify a single "changelog" (using their XML format) that can be
applied to Oracle and Postgres alike.

So we never need to "compare" definitions, we just run the changelog
script to update the database schema.

Some differences in e.g. available data types can be dealt with using
Liquibase's properties or if everything else fails using different
changesets for Postgres and Oracle (which is typically only needed
for views and procedural code).

Of course it might not be feasible to re-structure your existing
infrastructure for schema migrations to use a completely different
approach.
