Thread: possibly updating techdocs; mysql2pgsql on gborg
hi , I am on a mission to simply keep a starving project off the ground by updating an old mysql->pgsql perl conversion scriptwhich does its conversion very differently from the one under contrib/. There is an old link to http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/sql.html on techdocs under the section Converting from other Databases to PostgreSQL in a section which was apparently "Last updated 7th September 2002" If anybody still has access to that page, the project has moved to gborg specifically over to http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/mysql2psql/projdisplay.php where a new version of the perl conversion script is located. "Can the link be updated?" The version on gborg has cvs access and multiple developers, and is being maintained bymyself. I would be amazed if nobodyelse tweaked it in its weak spots. thanks, joe speigle
I don't see the old link you are referring to (and neither did grep); is this on the main page of techdocs or someplace else?

I have updated the /contrib/mysql/README file to point to the new URL's.

There's one of these on GBorg too? I started on on pgFoundry because I made a bunch of changes to the script (which now need debugging). Since this one needs nothing but CVS, any objections to just migrating it? -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Please be sure they haven't made additions themselves. Also send me the new URL so I can update contrib. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
