I was migrating data from Oracle to PostgreSQL, using ora2pg with COPY option and in under 3 hours it easily copied a table that was 10 GB in size. Are you seeing any errors in postgres log file? In my case, the number of records in postgresql table stopped increasing after some time and I realized data transfer was failing. I checked the log file for errors,corrected the data issues in the source table (Oracle) and it finished the load without issues. Regards, Jayadevan
