Dear all -

           I would like to know if any one has migrated database from MS access to Postgres . We use postgres 9.0.2 on solaris . Are there any open source tools that you have used to do this task. Can you please share your experiences ?

how many tables is this database?  is there more to it than just tables?  (Access isn't really a database, its a data-centric rapid application development system).  postgres won't do the reports, forms, macros, etc (ok, it has user definable procedures/functions, but they aren't in vbasic, and they don't work anything like access programs do).

if its just a few tables, it might just be easiest to dump those tables as CSV files, then import them one by one into equivalent tables in postgres via COPY FROM
