No.  Use a scripting language, such as Perl, PHP, BASH Shellscript, or
 VB to do this.   It's what scripting languages are designed for.
  Heck, you could even use a combo of PgAdminII and MS Access.

If you're not up to doing this, it's a trivial task for a Perl hacker
 or PHP wiz.  2 hours work, tops.

When it works.  YMMV, but as an ex-certified MSSQL Server admin, DTS
 failed as often as it succeeded.  I even had MS return my per-incident
 fee on a couple of DTS errors because they couldn't fix them ...
