Hi,
1.I have a package in Oracle to be ported to PostgreSQL.
The package consists of three procedures.
Anybody could give any suggestion on the porting methodology.
2. Any idea as to what is the equivalent of the following Oracle code in Postgresql:
Type xyz is Table of userid.user_account%type index by binary_integer;
prev_id xyz;
dummy xyz;
Thanx in advance,
Unnikrishnan

See: http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
there are considerable resources for Oracle --> postgres porting there.

Josh already pointed you to the docs, so I won't do it again :)

There's no structure in PL/pgSQL or any of the PostgreSQL procedural
languages that will map directly to this.
I remember I ported procedures with "type foo is Table of bar..." using
PL/Tcl arrays once, but it wasn't pretty.
Best thing is to think what are you trying to _accomplish_ with the
procedure, and then re-write it as a PL/pgSQL function.
