Hello,

What would be the best way to deal with migrating a database structure and data
from a mysql db to postgres when there are dataypes in the mysql tables that are
not present, and thus throw errors using the current migration wizard, in
postgres?

If i leave these few tables out on first import, many of the other tables that
these few key back to dont get created either.

I found a program called easyfrom, but it's over $200 and only runs on windows.
Navicat, which i have, doesnt seem to have any provision to change the datatypes
on structure sync from one to the other types of db.

Any suggestions would be great.
thanks.
