This release fix several issues reported since past height months and
adds some new features and improvements.

  • Add export of MySQL KEY and LINEAR KEY partitioning, translated as HASH
    partitioning.
  • Allow export of object with dollar sign is his name.
  • Add export of CHECK constraints for MySQL >= 8.0.
  • Add Functional/Expression indexes export from MYSQL.
  • Add export of MySQL virtual column. Thanks to Shubham Dabriwala for the
  • Remove scale and precision of a numeric if the scale is higher than the
    precision. PostgreSQL does not support decimal/numeric attributes where
    the scale is explicitly higher than the precision.
  • Add command line option --drop_if_exists to add statement to drop objects
    before creation if it exists. It corresponds to the DROP_IF_EXISTS
  • Add option -C | --cdc_file to be able to change the name of the default file
    used to store/read SCN per table during export. Default is TABLES_SCN.log in
    the current directory. This is the file written by the --cdc_ready option.
  • Add multiprocess to count rows in PostgreSQL tables (TEST_COUNT) using -P
    command line option.
  • Add support to PostgreSQL 14 procedure with out parameters.
  • Set default PostgreSQL database target version to 14.

New configuration directives:

  • Add configuration directive MVIEW_AS_TABLE and command line option
    --mview_as_table to set which materialized view to export as table.
    By default none. Value must be a list of materialized view name or
    regexp separated by space or comma. If the object name is a materialized
    view and the export type is TABLE, the view will be exported as a create
    table statement. If export type is COPY or INSERT, the corresponding data
    will be exported.
  • Add configuration variable FDW_IMPORT_SCHEMA to rename the schema where
    foreign tables for data migration will be created. If you use several
    instances of ora2pg for data migration through the foreign data wrapper,
    you might need to change the name of the schema for each instance.
    Default: ora2pg_fdw_import
  • Add TRANSFORM_VALUE configuration directive to apply an expression when
    retrieving data from Oracle. For example:
    TRANSFORM_VALUE CLOB_TABLE[CHARDATA:translate("CHARDATA", chr(0), ' ')]
    to replace all Oracle char(0) in a string by a space character.
  • Add EXCLUDE_COLUMNS configuration directive. Unlike MODIFY_STRUCT
    that is used to redefine a table structure, this directive allow
    to specify a list of columns per table that must be excluded from
    the export. For example:
    EXCLUDE_COLUMNS T1(nocol1,nocol2) T2(nocol1,nocol2)
  • Add new configuration directive EXPORT_GTT to export Oracle Global Temporary
    Table using syntax recognized by the pgtt extension. For more information see
    https://github.com/darold/pgtt Default is to not export global temporary
    table as they are not supported natively by PostgreSQL.
  • Add new configuration option NO_EXCLUDED_TABLE. By default Ora2Pg exclude
    from export some Oracle "garbage" tables that should never be part of an
    export. This behavior generates a lot of REGEXP_LIKE expressions which are
    slowing down the export when looking at tables. To disable this behavior
    enable this directive, you will have to exclude or clean up later by
    yourself the unwanted tables. The regexp used to exclude the table are
    defined in the array @EXCLUDED_TABLES in lib/Ora2Pg.pm. Note this is behavior
    is independent to the EXCLUDE configuration directive.

Backward compatibility:

  • Force rewrite of all invalid date starting with zero year 0000 into 1970-01-01
    when it is a default value and NULL for data. Old behavior was to only replace
    0000-00-00 date.
  • Until now there was a lot of untranslated call to TRUNC(date) because
    Ora2Pg is unable to detect that the parameter is a date or a number.
    The problem is that Oracle has TRUNC(number) too and Ora2Pg try to not
    apply the transformation if there is a doubt. In most of the migration
    have met very few TRUNC(number) so now all call to TRUNC()
    will be converted to date_trunc(). There must be false positive rewrite
    but this should be far less work than the actual situation.

Here is the full list of changes and acknowledgements:

  - Fixed PostgreSQL "relation not found error" in _dump_fdw_table(), PostgreSQL
    search_path was not being used. Thanks to James Schriever for the patch.
  - Fix year and month quoting as reserved words when they are used as aliases.
    Thanks to duursma for the report.
  - Fix conversion of to_number(substr(...)) when PG substr() return empty
    string where Oracle return NULL which make the conversion to numeric fail.
    The fix using (nullif(substr(...), )::numeric) only concern TABLE export.
    Thanks to Menelaos Perdikeas for the report.
  - Add export of MySQL KEY and LINEAR KEY partitioning, now exported as HASH
    partitioning. Thanks to Sanyam Singhal for the report.

    the report.

    Thanks to Shivansh Gahlot for the report.
  - Rename ORACLE_FDW_TRANSFORM to TRANSFORM_VALUE to apply in all case an
    expression when retrieving data from Oracle. For example:
      TRANSFORM_VALUE   CLOB_TABLE[CHARDATA:translate("CHARDATA", chr(0), ' ')]
    to replace all Oracle char(0) in a string by a space character.
  - Fix add_month() translation failing with some use cases. Thanks to duursma

  - Add option --mview_as_table to documentation.
  - Add configuration directive MVIEW_AS_TABLE and command line option
    --mview_as_table to set which materialized view to export as table.
    By default none. Value must be a list of materialized view name or
    regexp separated by space or comma. If the object name is a materialized
    view and the export type is TABLE, the view will be exported as a create

      BEGIN
        b := a;
        RETURN true;
      END;
    
    is now translated by adding an extra out parameter for the return value:
    
      CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo (a integer, OUT b integer,
							OUT extra_param boolean)
      RETURNS record AS $body$
      BEGIN
        b := a;
