Heiko, for Oracle, you want UTF8 character set encoding, not ASCII7 or anything else. Oracle asks you for "Character Set" and "National Character Set". I don't really know that that means, so I just pick UTF8 for both, and that seems to work ok.

Andrei, I would be very surprised if you'd be able to load a PostgreSQL dump into Oracle without major changes. Why else would OpenACS use completely separate Oracle and PostgreSQL versions of the *.sql package data model install files?
