There are only two options that have a match in Postgres: PCTFREE and TABLESPACE

As all of them are using the default values in Oracle anyway, I wouldn't bother to translate them. Just remove everything.
If you really want to tune PCTFREE, you need to use fillfactor in Postgres - which is the same thing "the other way round".
So it would be 90% in Postgres

You also need to change "VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)".

In Postgres varchar lengths are always specified in characters, never in bytes.
But as "Byte Semantics" is also the default in Oracle I assume replacing that with VARCHAR(50) in Postgres will work just fine.

The first statement:

ALTER TABLE employee DROP PRIMARY KEY CASCADE;

was useless in Oracle to begin with - if you drop the table afterwards (with CASCADE),
there is no need to drop the PK first.

> DROP employee CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;

Assuming that the missing "TABLE" keyword is a copy & paste error,
this translates to "DROP TABLE employee CASCADE" in Postgres.
