Hey everybody!

I’m working on the project that includes import of Oracle data to PostgreSQL. That data comes as Oracle export (expdp) files, direct connection to Oracle is not available.

As far as I know, Oracle does not provide any tools that could help with the task. Is there any API or application to automate importing Oracle expdp files to PostgreSQL? Or may be at least to comma separate values format?
