title: migrate data from MS SQL to PostgreSQL?
body: <p>I've looked around and can't seem to find anything that answers this specific question.</p>
  
  <p>What is the simplest way to move data from an MS SQL Server 2005 DB to a Postgres install (8.x)?</p>
  
  <p>I've looked into several utilities like "Full Convert Enterprise", etc, and they all fail for one reason or another, ranging from strange errors that make it blow up to inserting nulls rather than actual data (wth?).</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking at a DB with all table except for a single view, no stored procs, functions, etc.</p>
  
  <p>At this point I'm about to write a small utility to do it for me, I just can't believe that's necessary.  Surely there's <em>something</em> somewhere that can do this?  I'm not even too worried about cost, although free is preferable :)</p>
