Hello *

I try to convert a Database scheme from mySQL to pgSQL and have
problems  with the line:

      KEY post_date     (post_date)

and later probably with the lines

      UNIQUE KEY user   (stat_login)
and
      KEY forum_id      (forum_id)

too.  How to solv this prolem?

Thanks
Michelle

I don't think unique key is the correct syntax. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/indexes-unique.html

I also don't think the key can be named the same as the field.

That's just indexe. Create them later with create index ...

In PostgreSQL it would be:

CREATE TABLE sqmf_stat (
      stat_login        varchar(70)     NOT NULL,
      stat_post         integer         default '1',
      stat_thread       integer         default '1',
      CONSTRAINT sqmf_stat_pk PRIMARY KEY       (stat_login),
      CONSTRAINT sqmf_stat_uq UNIQUE (stat_login)
);

CREATE TABLE sqmf_thread (
      thread_id         serial          NOT NULL,
      forum_id          integer         NOT NULL,
      thread_login      varchar(70)     NOT NULL,
      thread_date       timestamp        NOT NULL,        
      thread_title      varchar(200)    NOT NULL,
      thread_content    text        NOT NULL,
      nb_view           integer         NOT NULL default '0',
      nb_post           integer         NOT NULL default '1',
      last_post_date    timestamp        NOT NULL,
      last_post_login   varchar(70)     NOT NULL,
      CONSTRAINT sqmf_thread_pk PRIMARY KEY (thread_id)
);

     CREATE INDEX  sqmf_thread_idx
         ON sqmf_thread
         USING BTREE (forum_id);

Note: in PostgreSQL datetime is timestamp.
Also sqmf_stat_pk, sqmf_stat_uq, sqmf_thread_pk and sqmf_thread_idx are just suggested names, but all constraint & index names must be unique


In the futuire, please include PostgreSQL version & O/S

I agree with Andreas.  First create the tables, then create the indexes.  If you can copy the data before creating the indexes then you will probably save some time on all of the INSERTs.

I am doing a similar thing migrating from SQL Server, and I am considering to publish an open source Migrator.

Can you tell me about some of the data types that you had to change moving from MySQL to Postgres?

I found it already. it is only "UNIQUE"

This is, what I have to figure out.

I convert only those four CREATE TABLE from mySQL to pgSQL which
is the forum pluging for squirrelmail.

auto_increment  ->   serial
int(NN)         ->   int
datetime        ->   timestamptz  (attention:  it is NOT timestamp)
longtext        ->   text

ENGINE=MyISAM   hast to be removed.

This are things, which I found on the internet.

Greetings
Michelle

Thank you.  My migration tool (written in Java) already supports migrating a SQL Server database to Postgres with most data types.

Perhaps I will improve it further when I have some more time to support MySQL source databases as well, in which case I will use the information that you sent as a starting point.

Just a minor observation, but a PRIMARY KEY is UNIQUE by definition. There's no need for that UNIQUE key "user" on the
samefield.
