Thread: New MySQL to PostgreSQL Migration Guide

Hi;

I have just posted a MySQL to PostgreSQL migration guide at
http://www.metatrontech.com/wpapers  and it is free for pretty much any
use (I do have a somewhat toned-down advertising clause in the copyright
license).

It is a first draft and formatting and other stuff will be likely
changed.  I am also considering creating a set of wrapper functions
which will provide compatibility with many of the non-standard functions
in MySQL.

Any feedback, etc. is appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

So should we ask to take over the sql2pg project on pgfoundry and move
the existing scripts over there, as well as the migration guide?

Argh....  Ok.  Fixed.

It is about 12 pages.  Table of contents entries are clickable.  I am
not familiar enough with Docbook so I just wrote it in LaTeX (sources
available upon request).

Direct link is http://www.metatrontech.com/wpapers/mysql2postgresql.pdf

To anyone who tried before, the link is fixed.
