I don't think it's a shameless plug at all.

However, I think it's sometimes useful to know alternative methods of
doing things, especially when you have to work for people who think
Microsoft are the best thing since sliced bread ;-)

Feel free to tell me where to go if you think this is a shameless
plug(!)
but pgAdmin also includes tools for migrating data from any ODBC
datasource
(as well as ascii text files) to PostgreSQL. I'm open to suggestions if
anyone feels there are improvements worth making....

Firstly I have to say its a great bit of work (pgAdmin), however it'd be
nice to see an open source tool mirroring the functionality of the DTS. I
especially liked the way you could script the mappings between fields, as
well as the GUI builder for complex transforms (in fact I absolutely loved
that (when it worked :), I had too long on the beta). As well as being able
to use pre- and post- conditional actions upon success/failure of certain
parts, like emailing, calling other programs etc.

Joe
