Sorry for the late response. I've been travelling internationally and am just getting back to work.
So--thank you to everyone who responded! To answer everyone's question---- I am dumping all of the data from a mysql database, then creating a postgresql database, then inserting the data into the new postgresql database. This seems to be a reasonable way to do it, because all I have to do is double my 's and my \s (I hope).
