I need to get data out of an Access database and into a *real* database,
i.e., Postgres. I've done the ODBC thing. It was painful to set up
(did you know MS has _bugs_ in their ODBC support?? *gasp!*) and even
more painful exporting the data into Postgres. Some tables failed to
export, plus I ended up having to do a pg_dump, massage the schema *and*
the data and reload it all anyway.
Is there a better way? (Even just _slightly_ better?) During our
migraineXXXXXXXXX migration I will need to transfer the data a few more
times and I really don't want to make a career out of exporting data...
Thanks for any help.
