Thanks. Ill checkout those options. I also have another question in mind. How good(or fast) will it be to use java with jdbc to transfer these terabytes of data from oracle to postgresql? This worked okay for small datasets but Im not sure how it will behave for large data. And also keep track of the changes in the Oracle production system using triggers? Thanks josh
