Thread: Error in restore the Database in Postgres

Dear Sir,
I have Mysql database backup file ( xyz.sql ). Now i want to restore 
this ( xyz.sql ) file into Postgres Database.
I try following command to restore but Postgres gives me the Error.

psql -d tracker -f /home/postgres/backup/tracker_db.sql

In xyz.sql file Lock Table; statement is written on each table.

I use Postgres 8.1 version.
Kindly Help me as early as possible. Or, give me another command.

You have a mysql dump, which is designed to restore to a MySQL database. 
It will include mostly standard SQL and also all the specific MySQL 
differences.

You'll need to convert it to produce something that PostgreSQL can 
understand.

Perhaps one of these two projects:
