I have done this several times. That is converting data from MsSQL to Postgres. I found that using Dabo (for the UI) along with Dabo's biz objects works perfectly. I have two connections one that accesses the MsSQL data and the other Postgres. I just gather the data from the MsSQL tables as required. Then insert into Postgres as required. I was able to transfer several GBytes without any issues. Fast too. I even created the tables dynamicly. I see no need for a Postgres temp cursor. Just insert. Note that reserved words in postgres may trip you up (like name, state). They did for me. If you have other questions let me know.
