Thread: new project submissions on pgfoundry active?
Hello, does anybody know what the current state of new project submissions at pgfoundry is? I submitted a new project 2006-02-13 but didn't hear anything since then... except for the automatic confirmation mail. I didn't get an answer on the PG foundry forum for some time now, so I'm posting this here (sorry, I realize I'm slightly OT)... Bye :) Chris.

Thanks for the quick reply! The project is called: OraToPg. Confirmation mail has the time stamp: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 21:01:38 +0000 (GMT) (22:01 CET) Bye :) Chris.

My question for you was: how is this related to the Ora2Pg project elsewhere on the net? Completely unrelated? Same code? Thanks. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

I'll have to check with some other people if it's ok for them and what the new name might be. I'll let you know :) Bye, Chris.

I think so.

Thanks :) I'd say at the moment it's quite academic/experimental, though. We're getting it on pgfoundry (I hope :) precisely to make it more visible and see what happens. We came up with a new name now... I'll keep the suspence for the next mail :) Bye, Chris.

Hi there, at last we came up with a new name: we'd like to call the project "protopg" (which would stand for PROprietary TO PostGresql). With all lowercase spelling. Josh, would that name qualify? Bye :) Chris.

How different from ora2pg is OraToPg ? Cheers, -- Stéphane SCHILDKNECHT Président de PostgreSQLFr http://www.postgresqlfr.org
> but... > How different from ora2pg is OraToPg ? completely different :) protopg (formerly known as oratopg) tries to implemente a parser that on the fly translates SQL and PL dialects from Oracle's variant to the standard and/or PG variant. It's in an proof-of-concept/alpha stage. It hopefully will appear on pgfoundry soon. ora2pg is (as far as I know, but it's a long time since I used it) a Perl tool that can read data from oracle DBs and store into PG DBs. Think of an export/import tool. It's considered stable. It's part of PostgreSQL's contrib package. Bye, Chris. PS: Oracle is a TM etc...

So do you intend to eventually support other databases? That'd be cool (to say the least). How expandable is the current architecture? -- Jim C.

> So do you intend to eventually support other databases? That'd be > cool (to say the least). How expandable is the current architecture? Not very expandable. The problem is that we basically just started to code a bison grammar file for (some small subset of) Oracle(TM) SQL and PL/SQL elements and from there the whole thing grew in a somewhat kludgy way. Anyway, it's a start. Maybe pgfoundry can help improve things a bit. Regarding other databases, some work was initially done on Informix, but there's not much generic code and the Informix pieces are not part of what eventually became protopg. I'd say, just have a look at the whole thing when it'll appear on pgfoundry (I hope soon). Bye :) Chris.
