Hi all,
for a few weeks i had the same problem. I found the attached script, doc
is online :
http://ns2.ziet.zhitomir.ua/~fonin/projects/my2pg/my2pg_man.html

shortcut :
mysqldump -u username --password=mypasswd databasetodump [tables]
|(pipe) my2pg.pl>dumpfile
dumpfile the script that you can use to create tables in an already
existing PG-dbase. If you need functions in PG (e.g. you need enum in
mysql) you have to read the file as PG-superuser and not as owner of the
db. The my2pg.pl script creates Makefile and three libtypes.*. You need
a specific pg-libary on your system, but i've forgotten the name. If you
convert as superuser, don't forget to give the privs to the user (grant
all on 'tablename' to 'user). do the same for *_seq-tables.
hope it helps
Gerd
