How many tables do you have, and what are their sizes? I'm asking because if you're considering migrating to PostgreSQL, starting from scratch might be cleaner. This approach will also help you gain a deeper understanding of how data types are handled in PostgreSQL compared to MSSQL.

I heard PGSQL can act like MSSQL behaviour so I'm trying to migrating
tables to try it myself, but I really
have hard time to migrating them.

I already looked
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server_to_PostgreSQL_Migration_by_Ian_Harding
but
nothing is useful. For example, "Extension Links" section links are all
PAID links.

I have *.MDF and *.ldf MSSQL2008R2 DATA files.

Can anyone please give me a command to how to migrate those data? I do
not have MS' graphic studio GUI but I can
access this database using "Navicat Lite"(IP:Port login).
