Migration Assistant and Quicken database?

My friend has an old 'iLamp' Mac and wants to upgrade to a new iMac.  
He is worried about how to transfer his stuff off the old and onto  
the new, and I told him that OS X has a 'Migration Assistant'  
application that can do that. However, he has a Quicken database on  
the old Mac. Does anyone know if Migration Assistant will  
'copy' (rebuild? recreate?) it correctly? From what I understand,  
Quicken DBs are somehow tied to physical blocks on the disk.  Intuit  
doesn't seem to offer a tool to do the job, as far as I can tell.
