I am having difficulty moving a SQL Server 2000 database over to
PostgreSQL 8.0.3.
In SQL Server, I am performing a backup of the database I want to move.
I save that backup on my Desktop.
I am then opening up PGAdminIII and attempting to perform a Restore of
the database saved on my Desktop. The first step I take is to create a
new database, MyDB. Next, I highlight my new database and then select
Restore from the Tools menu. The Restore Database window pops up and I
Browse to the database backup I've saved on my Desktop. After selecting
the backup, the 'OK' button stays grayed and I am unable to proceed.
As already mentioned, there is no unified backups for DBMS. You may move
structure and data, but not stored procedures and triggers, by
installing postgresql-odbc on mssql server machine and using
export/import tools from enterprise manager of mssql to export from
mssql and import into postgresql-odbc connection.
For user types, triggers, storeds you'll need to do rewrite it by hands.
