Hi Jonathan,
I haven't done this from MySQL, but have from Postgres & from Oracle
From a command line client, extract the data from the source table, so you get a stream of csv style records.
Then pipe these directly into a psql statement to load them into the target table.
A simple pg2pg example:
psql -d $DB1 -F '|' -Atc "select * from table;" | psql -d $DB2 -c "copy table from STDIN with delimiter '|' with null '';"
A MySQL example would be similar, the second part pretty much identical.

Greetings
I'd like to INSERT data into my Postgresql 8.4.8 table directly from an
ODBC-linked MS-SQL table or view.
I'm looking at using the Cybertec tool "ODBC-LINK"
(http://www.cybertec.at/en/postgresql_products/odbc-link) but I'm wondering
if there isn't a way to do this through Postgresql directly?
I saw a post about someone doing a "SELECT * FROM XXX ODBC SOURCE" or
something like that
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2009-07/msg00032.php) and that
would be cool. I don't need to import massive datasets, only 20-30K records
at a time.
Thanks much
Jonathan
