in general, I'd likely use a perl or similar program to connect to the
'other' database, fetch your data, and insert it into your postgres
database. this, of course, would require knowledge of the specific data
you want to copy. if you are talking about a live ongoing replica,
then it gets more complicated. if you're moving applications from DB2
to postgres, yet more complications.

another approach might be DBI-Link, which is a plugin for postgres that
allows you to connect to foreign external databases from within a
postgres database, using pl/perl
