Migrating from a DB2/400 to Postgres.

Hello,

I have no experience of AS400 but I might be finding myself migrating a
database from db2/400 to postgres/linux shortly. I suppose it is a
question of making a dump on the db2 and then importing it to postgres.
(The fact that I get more search hits on db2 *core* dumps than data
dumps is not so incouraging...)

Does anybody know what the incompatibilities between these two
file-formats might be, i.e dump format of db2 and import/populate format
of postgres?

Is there some general file format incompatibilities between as400 and
linux/unix???

Might it be wiser to do an intermediary step to a linux db2?

On another note, anybody know how postgres competes with db2?

Questions, questions.. now ideas and answers, yes?

Cheers,
