skills/migrating-oracle-to-postgres-stored-procedures/SKILL.md
Migrates Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures to PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL. Translates Oracle-specific syntax, preserves method signatures and type-anchored parameters, leverages orafce where appropriate, and applies COLLATE "C" for Oracle-compatible text sorting. Use when converting Oracle stored procedures or functions to PostgreSQL equivalents during a database migration.

Translate Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures and functions to PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL equivalents.
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Read the Oracle source procedure
- [ ] Step 2: Translate to PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL
- [ ] Step 3: Write the migrated procedure to Postgres output directory
Step 1: Read the Oracle source procedure
Read the Oracle stored procedure from .github/oracle-to-postgres-migration/DDL/Oracle/Procedures and Functions/. Consult the Oracle table/view definitions at .github/oracle-to-postgres-migration/DDL/Oracle/Tables and Views/ for type resolution.
Step 2: Translate to PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL
Apply these translation rules:
PARAM_NAME IN table_name.column_name%TYPE).NUMERIC, VARCHAR, INTEGER) for output parameters passed to other procedures — do not type-anchor these.COMMENT or GRANT statements.COLLATE "C" when ordering by text fields for Oracle-compatible sorting.orafce extension when it improves clarity or fidelity.Consult the PostgreSQL table/view definitions at .github/oracle-to-postgres-migration/DDL/Postgres/Tables and Views/ for target schema details.
Step 3: Write the migrated procedure to Postgres output directory
Place each migrated procedure in its own file under .github/oracle-to-postgres-migration/DDL/Postgres/Procedures and Functions/{PACKAGE_NAME_IF_APPLICABLE}/. One procedure per file.
