Database Conversion

Hello, All,

I have a new faculty member who has a large database that is in
MySQL.  We don't support MySQL so the database needs to be ported to
PostgreSQL.  Her GA, who know MySQL, says that he has a query that he
will run that will put the data into postgres.  I thought that the
data would have to be output to a text file and then copied into
postgres.  I don't know MySQL.  I've done a conversion from Oracle
and this is how I did it.  Is he correct that he can put the data
into a postgres database by running a MySQL query?  It doesn't sound
possible to me.
