It is not so bad:

To migrate a GRASS database table (or a GRASS vector map) to a different
DBMI engine, the best solution is to create a new MAPSET, define the
DBMI settings accordingly with db.connect and if needed, db.login. Then
the table of interest can be copied over with db.copy from the original
MAPSET. Likewise, a vector map including its table(s) are copied from
the original MAPSET to the current MAPSET with g.copy.

PostgreSQL might be overkill for personal use.
All the best.
