my new postgresql database?

nope, as MySQL has "features" that aren't compatible with other databases
... different ways of doing database structure, non-SQL compliant types,
etc ... each database server tends to have their own quirks, some more
then others ... you'll have to hand massage the mysqldump to fit
PostgreSQL, but, having done it before, it is doable ...
