Postgres to oracle data migration

Hi all.
We have a production data source running postgres for reporting/DSS
we are thinking on building a warehouse, wherein data would be
transferred from postgres to the warehouse.
The datawarehouse would be implemented in oracle as the plans stand.
I am thereby looking for a solution to relay data between the two,
although the techdocs do mention a way to generate interbase sql and
carry out the migration, not sure if that is the best way for my
project. I would greatly appreciate if you could provide
pointers/suggestions in this direction.
Thanks
Sid

One option if you are using Oracle 9i (or greater) is to use the new
external tables option, which will read flat files as a table that
doesn't reside in the db. Or you could use Oracle's SQL*Loader to do the
same thing. If you know perl, C, or java etc, you could also do it that
way (Pro*C, dbi/dbd::oracle)... .
I couldn't tell you what the best way is, but some more details may
garner some better answers: os, pg version, oracle version, preferred
language, how frequently the data needs to be transferred....

There are two problems we are running into, both relating to our...

I am interested in finding out about Enterprise scale Postgres installations and clustering, especially on Linux. Essentially I would like to know the possibility that Postgres can store the database data in a central location (ex: on a SAN fiber array) and have a cluster of machines sharing processor/RAM/IO bandwidth to do the application processing. Or perhaps there is another solution similar to what www.emicnetworks.com have...
