Kind of depends what you want to migrate. If your code uses a portable interface library (for instance ODBC, DBI/DBD or JDBC) then you should only have to migrate the data.
A tool I have used in the past with great success for this kind of thing is PowerDesigner Data Architect ( http://www.sybase.com/products/powerdesigner/ ). Strictly speaking this isn't a migration tool - it's a database analysis & design package. But it will reverse engineer database schemas via ODBC, and rewrite then in the target SQL of a different database. It supports dozens of databases, and is reliably accurate. It's not cheap though. If you do a lot of data modelling, then it makes your life a load easier. You still have to export and import your data though, but this is rarely difficult - exporting/importing as CSV is often very simple.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Doug.
