Thanks for the feedback, sorry I was not more specific.
We are a non-profit hospital and have been using MySQL for about 4 years.

I wanted to convert some apps over to use postgresql and cannot find
a good tool to import and auto create the tables.
MySQL syntax is not compatible with postgresql.
I get:
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "`" at character 14
from the MySQL output below.

CREATE TABLE `category` (
   `category_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `category` char(50) default NULL,
   `LastUser` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
   `LastUpdated` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on
update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
   PRIMARY KEY  (`category_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;


insert  into category values
(4, 'Hardware - Monitor', 2, '2004-10-12 10:50:01'),
(5, 'Hardware - Printer', 2, '2004-10-12 10:50:02'),
(6, 'Hardware - Terminal', 2, '2004-10-12 10:50:02'),
(7, 'Hardware - PC Laptop', 2, '2004-10-12 10:50:02'),
