In theory, you can do it in a day. It all depends on if the database is located
on one server (or more), and the size of the database. Oracle provides a
migration utility, but you also have to alter environment variables, networking
software, and so on.

Plus, you should back up the old database just in case, which could take
hours.

So, 2-3 days realisticly.

Best of luck,
