Transfer data from SQL Server to PostgreSQL on Linux

Question

What is the best way to transfer the data from SQL Server database on Windows to a PostgreSQL database on Linux?

The current SQL Server database there are about 500,000 rows per table, and about 80 tables all together.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar enough with sql-server to assert this is the best way, but if you just need the data, you could try using odbc and a foreign data wrapper:
