I haven't used VFP. Is it an ETL tool?

Another ETL tool to consider (its open source) that is JDBC based can
be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/files/Data%20Integration/4.0.0-stable/

Also, I don't know if you seen these migration resources:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Converting_from_other_Databases_to_PostgreSQL#Microsoft_SQL_Server

Hopefully there is something useful there.

Also don't forget to reply-all so that the mailing list is included so
that others can reply.
