This document is meant to be used as a Quick Installation Guide for enabling
migration of schema & data from Oracle to Azure Database for PostgreSQL using
ora2pg tool. Complete details on the tool can be found at
http://ora2pg.darold.net/documentation.html
Pre-Requisites
The following software must be installed on the Linux machine prior to installing ora2pg:
Perl 5.10 or more
Oracle Instant Client or Full Oracle installation
DBD::Oracle Perl Module
ora2pg
It is recommended that you use the order above to proceed with the installation.
Note that this guide was based on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 virtual machine. I recommend to install
everything using root user, for simplicity.
Installing Perl 5.10 or more
1) Install GCC first – not all versions of Linux comes with gcc installed. As root:
yum install gcc
2) Create a directory for the Perl installation.
mkdir app
cd app
3) Download Perl
wget https://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.28.0.tar.gz
4) Untar/unzip Perl
tar -xzf perl-5.28.0.tar.gz
5) Navigate to the Perl folder and configure $HOME (This will run for a while…)
cd perl-5.28.0
./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/
6) Install Perl (it will take a while…)
make
make test
make install
7) Once steps 1-6 are executed, check the (new) version of Perl by typing
$HOME/bin/perl -v
8) Make this Perl installation the default one by adding the path to .bashrc file
export PATH=$HOME/bin/:$PATH
All commands:
yum install gcc
mkdir app
cd app
wget https://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.28.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf perl-5.28.0.tar.gz
cd perl-5.28.0
./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/
make
make test
make install
$HOME/bin/perl -v
export PATH=$HOME/bin/:$PATH
Installing Oracle Instant Client or Full Oracle Installation
1) Before proceeding with the oracle installation, please run the following commands to update
certain required packages on Red Hat 7.4. As root
yum update
yum install -y binutils.x86_64 compat-libcap1.x86_64 gcc.x86_64 gcc-c++.x86_64 glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64
glibc-devel.i686 glibc-devel.x86_64 ksh compat-libstdc++-33 libaio.i686 libaio.x86_64 libaio-devel.i686
libaio-devel.x86_64 libgcc.i686 libgcc.x86_64 libstdc++.i686 libstdc++.x86_64 libstdc++-devel.i686
libstdc++-devel.x86_64 libXi.i686 libXi.x86_64 libXtst.i686 libXtst.x86_64 make.x86_64 sysstat.x86_64 zip
unzip
2) Download the oracle RPMs and copy it to the Linux machine.
3) Install the RPMs in the following order (as root):
rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient12.2-basic-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient12.2-devel-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient12.2-jdbc-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient12.2-sqlplus-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
4) SET the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME variables:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64
Installing DBD::Oracle Perl Module
1) Before proceeding with the installation of the module, make sure to install Perl-Devel module (as
root):
yum install perl-devel
yum install perl-DBI
2) Download the DBD::Oracle Perl Module and copy/upload it to the Linux machine
3) Untar/Unzip the module and navigate to the folder
tar xvzf DBD-Oracle-1.76.tar.gz
cd DBD-Oracle-1.76
4) Install the Perl Module
perl Makefile.PL
make && make install
Installing ora2pg
1) Download ora2pg and copy/upload it to the Linux machine
2) Untar/unzip the file
tar xjf ora2pg-19.1.tar.bz2
3) Navigate to the ora2pg folder
cd ora2pg-19.1/
4) Install ora2pg
perl Makefile.PL
make && make install
Testing ora2pg installation
Type ora2pg –version as following:
ora2pg --version
