Re: SQL Server 2000 to PostgreSQL 8.0.3

Check out WinSql
(http://www.synametrics.com/SynametricsWebApp/WinSQL.jsp)  It has the
ability to extract data from Sql*Sucker and drop it into PostGreSql, and
you can have that functionality free for 90 days to boot.

Subject: [ADMIN] SQL Server 2000 to PostgreSQL 8.0.3

Greetings.

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.

Any ideas as to how I can work around this?  Thanks in advance.
