Usually, I can pop schema DDL into a text editor and tweak column types pretty easily for a database migration. What kind of table definitions are you having a problem with?

For a data transfer, this can be pretty trivially scripted via DBI, JDBC or ODBC. If you need a sample that would move data from one database to another, I can drop in a bit here.
