There is no single complete easy step, because the two are very different.
Your best bet is to use ODBC to download the tables and views. I don't think ODBC will properly transmit your table relationships and other things such as triggers, functions, etc..., though, so you will have to re-create them in SQL server.
Also, I suppose you could also just do a database dump, and edit the resulting SQL creation statements to use SQL server keywords instead of PostgreSQL's.
The only area that will be truly different is with auto_incremented fields, because SQL server (AFAIK) doesn't use SEQUENCE generation the way PostgreSQL does.
Once you get the SQL creation statements done right, I am fairly sure that your INSERT statements will be no problem.
If your database is fairly standard, it should be a fairly painless process. If you have many triggers and functions, it will probably be a little more difficult, but even then, I'm willing to bet 95% of the syntax will be similar. -------------------------------------------
