Hello,

I have a database application with Java and PHP clients. I used mysql
with 64 tables. Now, we have decided to use pgsql. Please suggest the
migration procedure.

Thanks.

You might want to see http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ which has a section on
converting to PostgreSQL.

Note that PG is stricter in type-checking than MySQL, so it can take a little
effort to tighten things up there.

You might also want to read the tuning advice at:
