Thread: 4D to PostgreSQL tools
Hi all, Someone asked me today if there are tools to migrate a 4D database to PostgreSQL. Any clue? Some googling turned up a tool to go the other way round and the archives got me an unanswered post about migrating from 4D to PostgreSQL, so I guess there's not much chance...

There are no direct tools at all. There is a connectivity tool, PostgreSQL for 4D, available from Exenevex at: http://www.exenevex.com/next/us/prod.php?id=9 What exactly are you having trouble with in doing the migration? I ask as the process is simple enough that a tool for doingthe job is really not needed... ================================================================ Steven G.

I think the person wanted to know if there was some tool where they could just take their 4D dump, transmogrify it to a PostgreSQL dump and voilà! But if you say that the process is simple enough that no tool is warranted, I consider that a valid answer and will pass it on. Thanks.

Well, I have 10 years working with 4D and 4D Server. I have conected 4D with Postgres by ODBC and the performance is aceptable. Now I am using this for migrate the data to postgres from 4D. If somebody has question or dude can contact me and I 'll help that I can help. >From: "Steven G.
