It can for the most part be done with text replacement with a good
editor, or use sed. It's not that difficult.

The data is even easier...a lot of times you can import a mysql (data
only) dump directly into postgresql if you pass the right options to
mysqldump.

There are several tools that automate this process. One such tool is
DTS from microsoft. Lately though I see less and less value in things
like this when the same thing can be done with regex/sed.
