Hi Justin,

I think that's a great idea - the more converts we can get the better
:-)

The problem is, I've never used MySQL *at all* so I'm very in the dark
about how well we can migrate from it. I can only recall one MySQL
migration related bug ever being reported though which is a good sign I
suppose.

I'll see if I can grab a copy in the meantime and play with it. I've
also CC'd this to the pgAdmin lists in case someone there can comment...

Regards, Dave.
