Identifies Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration risks
by githubFree
Description
reviewing-oracle-to-postgres-migration is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that identifies the risks in an Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration by checking code against the known behavioral differences between the two databases. These include how empty strings are treated, how ref cursors behave, how types are coerced, and other differences documented in the skill's reference folder. The skill is used at two points. In planning, before migration work begins on a procedure, trigger, query or ref cursor client, it identifies which of the documented insights apply, so the risks are addressed up front. After the work is done, in validation, it confirms that every applicable insight was handled and that the integration tests cover the new PostgreSQL behavior. It follows a workflow for each, starting by determining which kind of task is in hand. It is useful for migration teams that want their review to be systematic rather than dependent on one reviewer's memory of quirks. Because the behavioral differences are subtle, the checks should be backed by tests that run against PostgreSQL, since an inspection alone can miss a difference that only shows at run time. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 1.8K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…

reviewing-oracle-to-postgres-migration FAQ
When is it used?
In planning, before work starts on a procedure, trigger, query or ref cursor client, and in validation, after the work is done.
What differences does it check?
Behavior such as empty string handling, ref cursor behavior and type coercion, from its reference documents.
Is inspection enough?
No. Subtle differences can show only at run time, so back the checks with tests against PostgreSQL.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill reviewing-oracle-to-postgres-migration.

skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass and Snyk Pass.
