I had success importing windows hosted database to postgresql using the
ODBC driver.
I.e. MS-Access -> Export -> ODBC

Hi,
  we are acquiring data  from systems on windows and 
  WindowsNT platform ,size of datafiles are in MB and gigabytes(GB)
  My postgres database is installed on sun solaris platform.

  I would like to the know about the different methods or techniques 
  that i can apply to transfer the  data from these systems(on windows/NT)
  to my postgres (on Solaris platform)  database.
  All the systems (computer ) are well connected by
  network.

Hi Manika,

How are they stored on your WindowsNT systems?  Are they already in some
form of database?

If you have ODBC connectivity in their already stored format, that is
one way of doing it.

If you can convert them to a CSV file, that is another way of doing it
(there are drawbacks and benefits in this).

Can you give us more info as to how it's presently stored (text file(s),
MS SQL, MS Access, etc), what types of data, and so on?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
