Last I did it, I used mysql workbench to grab the data from MS, then I
used some random tool to port mysql to postgres.

Basically it was a chain, and while 90% went pretty smooth,
*amazingly*, there was a bit of futzing with stuff... changing some
datatypes before the port (the real port) on the mssql box helped a
good deal too.  Smoothed things out, if you will.

And I'm loving ORMs, actually, for the code end of the SQL madness.
They generally (but still sorta do!) don't care what sql backend you
use...

Fun stuff.  +1 for Postgres, it's the bee's knees.
