Hi Patrick

Postgres is not one of the databases that has a migration assistant
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/soluti...on/default.mspx so you will
have to do this manually. The Import/Export wizard may allow you to transfer
tables/data across but you may still have to manipulate the data afterwards
and change some datatypes, therefore scripting the DDL and
exporting/importing the data via flat files may be the best option.
