Re: Migration from MS SQL 2K

["Roger Hand" <RHand@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PGAdmin II had a "Migration Wizard" plugin that did a great job. I used it a lot to convert MS SQL 7 and 2000 db's to Postgres 7.x.

 

It did not convert views, but I wrote some code that did that.

 

Unfortunately, PGAdmin II doesn't work with PG 8.

 

And PGAdmin III doesn't have the Migration Wizard plugin, at least it didn't the last I checked.

 

So ... you could use PGAdmin II and the Migration Wizard to convert to Postgres 7.x.

 

Then dump the db, and import into PG 8.

 

Or course, there may be more sophisticated (and possible $$) software that will do what you want more simply.

Subject: Migration from MS SQL 2K

Hi,

 

Currently I have serious problem to migrate a "production" MS SQL 2K to Postgres 8 for Windows.

Is there any tools to import MS SQL 2K to Postgres 8 including:

- PK and FK

- View, Trigger, Store Procedure

- Username

- Index and Constraint

- Diagrams

 

Regards.
