Just remember, as John pointed out,  a MySQL database and a Postgres
database are not equivalent. You will not be able to do cross database
operations(with the core tools). If you want that then you will need to
use Postgres schemas instead. There is work going forward on a Postgres
foreign data
wrapper(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/postgres-fdw.html)
that will allow cross database operations, but it is only in the
development code and is very basic at this point. There is also the
dblink module(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/dblink.html).
