The OP specifically asked about the PROGRESS database (see
www.progress.com), not PostGres. To be specific, I think it is Progress
OpenEdge RDBMS http://www.progress.com/openedge/products/index.ssp (ie
not ObjectStore, omne of their more recent acquisitions).

Of course your references and comments are entirely valid for the second
part of his question "any migration from Oracle to anything else..."

Well, Postgres has PlPgSql, which is relatively close to Oracle's
PL/SQL.
At least closer, than procedural languages in any other dbms I saw.

But, yes when migrating application from Oracle to PG I did have to
modify my PL/SQL packages, triggers, veiw definitions (i.e. replace
DECODE functions with "CASE" manually).
