RAD with postgreSQL

From

Hi,

Any suggestion to Rapid Application Dev with postgreSQL ?

I have a small app to make.

I would prefer open-source solution if possible.  I also would like to
developp on my linux box but the result will be used on a windows 2000
and XP machine.  But If I have no choice, I will developp on winXP.

Any suggestion?

P.S.: I never developp on linux at this time, so I don't know the name
of the good tools available.   (Except I developp in PHP for the web on
Linux.)

Thanks for your suggestions.

It has nothing to do with open-source, but I suggest you have a look at
MS Access. The ODBC driver for Postgresql gives me very good results.
Development is really quick, and performance is   great if you push your
code to the server, in plpgsql functions. This is what we call
"client-server thin client" and is opposed to "client-server fat
client".

import mysql database...

From
Eric

Hi,

I have a running PHPBB mySQL dump that I would like to load/import in
postgreSQL... I didn't try yet but I wonder if it's straightforward and
just import the mySQL dump into postgreSQL ?

(Of course, I want to migrate PHPBB running on a server with mySQL to
another server running with postgreSQL).  Yes PHPBB has postgreSQL
support.

Thanks.

I found this utility very helpful in a similar situation:

Hi,

You may find something here: http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/sql.html.
In addition, I always thought that Postgres came with a MySQL to
Postgres converter, but I might be wrong.

Bye,

I do this semi-regularly. You usually end up doing some minor
corrections, not much though.

You might want to check http://techdocs.postgresql.org/

Is this the dump from mysqldump or the one from PHPBB?  I think the dump
from phpbb directly could be imported to another instance of phpbb
running on top of postgresql.  I haven't ever tried it, I'm just
guessing.
