Hi All,

I need to convert procedures written in Progress 4GL to Oracle stored procedures. Is there any tool other than SQLWays using which I can achieve this?

+2  A: 

No. There is no tool which will do this.

To elaborate a bit... a tool like SQLWays could, in theory at least, migrate the database schema and the data (which isn't especially hard). It might even succeed in converting Progress 4GL triggers (don't hold your breath though, I see no mention of such things on their web site).

Furthermore most Progress 4GL applications have the vast majority of their business logic and a great deal of their database logic deeply intertwined with the UI. There are several companies *marketing* automated conversion of the entire application but SFAIK none of them are particularly credible. One that I have a certain amount of familiarity with is (at least) 3 years past their go live date and the application that they are claiming to convert isn't especially complicated.
