        My name is Sreekumar.G.Iyer and I'm working as a software engineer
with Wellspring Networks Pvt. Ltd., Pune, India.

        My question regarding postgresql is as follows :
        How do I populate my tables in postgresql with data stored in tables
on other RDBMSs viz. Oracle or MS-Access.

        I would be very grateful if someone could help me with my problem.

        Thanking you.

Ah yes = the age old question... You can either write small scripts (I
like Python) that connect to both and do manual SQL, try to do a dump from
Oracle (I think TOAD does a nice one) and load it in a text editor to
clean it up for Postgres, or get a third party tool.

I hear good things about Data Junction, and it may connect with PostgreSQL
if you have PG ODBC running.

I'm a little partial to the Python scripting. :)
