Had you thought of writing one program that connects to both databases? It
is then relatively easy to transfer data from one to the other. Here's some
code which creates a Gadfly database from an ODBC source, doesn't use dates
but it might get you started. Two ODBC sources should be no more
difficult...

#
# Create the gadfly database from the "Webdata" ODBC source
#
import gadfly
import odbc

ocn = odbc.odbc("Webdata")
ocu = ocn.cursor()

gcn = gadfly.gadfly()
gcn.startup("webdata", "gadfly")
gcu = gcn.cursor()

gcu.execute("create table PgData (PgName varchar, PgNum integer, PgText
varchar)")
ocu.execute("select PgName, PgNum, PgText from PgData")
gcu.execute("insert into PgData (PgName, PgNum, PgText) values (?, ?, ?)",
                ocu.fetchall())
gcn.commit()

for obj in (gcu, ocu, gcn, ocn):
    obj.close()

print "gadfly database created"
