Hi Bruno, I think that putting such an operation in a migration doesn't make much sense. If it's part of the project migrations, it means that the canonical way to set up the database is to start up on MySQL and move to PG later. This is almost surely not what you intend.
Copying data across is usually a one-time thing, not something you want as part of your living history. A management command fits much better than a migration.
