I've received MS SQL backups from a client, I'm wanting to import/restore them into a PostgreSQL environment. Is this possible?

I have no first-hand experience. You could try these to start - but if all you've got is a dump, that's just the data. If you don't also have the creation of the DB itself scripted out (the DB schema), you're kind of hosed. /edit - |

One way of getting this to work is to download a copy of SQL Server Express, and restore the backup there. Sometimes this doesn't work, so you could try downloading a trial version of SQL Server Standard. I think it has something like a 180 day trial. Once you got the database restored, then you can use your favorite ETL tools to move the data into PostgreSQL. |
