We did this with the New England Patriots, only we moved to an on-prem PostgreSQL instance. Specifically, we were on Oracle 8, so just finding the compatible drivers was half of the battle. I wrote a Python utility that carries these (nasty) migrations out from end-to-end. It works well, probably doesn't scale well, and needs tests. IT also doesn't solve the problems of Oracle-specific features, we just dropped those, which is probably not suitable for most folks, though many of these can/should be done at the application level.

Anyway, I made a promise to myself that when the project hits 300 stars I'd write tests and refactor for scalability. I need 3 more. Probably will be looking for some help if anyone's interested... https://www.github.com/seanharr11/etlalchemy

You’re now at 309! Sounds like some people want it!
I've begun the rationalization process...I should be able to start this sometime in January. I've begun drawing up the plans though...
