Saul,

That depends on what type of help you need to migrate. Tables and most SQL 
should be rather strait forward. If you are looking for help on stored 
procedures migration there is an excellent starting point int the PostgreSQL 
Programmers guide.

That is because PostgreSQL is more standards compliant and therefore most 
general SQL information also applies to it. The Primary PostgreSQL docs from 
their website will usually provide enough information on the differences.

MySQL is sometimes called ThierSQL because of it's nearly complete lack of 
SQL compliance and the myriad extensions and proprietary functions it 
includes. This does not make it a bad tool, it simply means that there NEEDS 
to be more documentation because you can't just sit down with a SQL book and 
be able to jump right in. You need to read how MySQL does things.
