Hi, I’m new to the list and new to the project. So I’ll introduce myself
quickly and proceed with a few questions.

I’m working at the J.H. von Thünen-Institut in Germany and I’m leading a
database integration project where we have a couple of Access databases
to migrate to either Postgres (preferably) or MySQL. I searched online
for tools to do this kind of task and, as I guessed, there are a few
commercial applications and this project which seems quite promising.

I wanted to know what are the best way to post, suggestions and possible
patches. Should I use the SF mailing list, GitHub issues, SF forum or SF
bug tracker?

Thanks in advance.

SF forum & bugtracker are dead, as far as I know.

This mailing list and github are active.

Patches are always welcome, either on the list, or in a github.
My personnal preference would be github.

I did some automatic mdb -> postgres migration in the past.
I would recommand exportting the schema without the foreign keys
Then use psql COPY to get the csv file
Then add the foreign keys.
Attached is a an exemple script. "Works for me"© ;)

Cheers
