Yes sarma, it is possible. If you tell us your platform and programming language, you may even get examples of such a thing.

Just to show a simple setup for your script. As long as you keep the different connections in separate variables.

Start script
-  connect to server mySQL
-  open connection to database

-  connect to server PostGreSQL
-  open connection to database

-  use MySQL connection: select from MySQL 
-  use PostGreSQL connection: select from PostGreSQL
-  handle the acquired rows
-  use MySQL connection: issue MySQL command
-  use PostGreSQL connection: issue PostGreSQL command
-  etc.
-  etc.

-  close MySQL connection
-  close PostGreSQL connection

End script
