last time I had to convert a database I loaded it into postgres and
used "SQL" and plpgsql functions.

then dropped the functions, columns and tables  I didn't want to keep around.

things like 

 INSERT INTO somenewtable SELECT somequery...
 
are very powerfull tools

The hardest bit was dealing with the inconsistencies in the input data.
