Esteban,
Just one way of doing it, but export the tables
as comma/tab delimited files, or using whatever delimeter is
easy for you, and then use Postgres' copy command to import
the data into a Postgres table(s).
See under COPY in the user documentation for your
options, syntax, etc.. Anyway, the idea is to write
the data into a text file, and then either modify the text file
to contain the copy commands, or do it from a script, or
even do it manually with psql.
Once the data is inside postgres, you can tweak it to
your heart's content.
