It was available and I had someone who'd do the work for me.  when I didn't
have time.   It was a good solution at the time.  It was always a stop-gap

Yeah export each table a CSV, use the appropriate CREATE TABLE () and INSERT
INTO statements.  then I have psql access to the data.   The slow down is the
