Thread: MySQL to PostgreSQL converter?

MySQL to PostgreSQL converter?

From
Stephen Froehlich

Hi all,

 

I was excited/relieved to see that AWS is now (finally) offering a PostgreSQL aurora serverless service … I have been using MySQL serverless for a given project but am quite frustrated with the immaturity of the RMySQL package compared to RPostgres and a number of issues it causes, so I would like to convert the database over (which is a non-live analysis database, so I can do a dump, convert, and restore with relative ease).

 

What tools do you like for this kind of conversion?

 

Thanks,

Stephen

I should add that the only thing that is remotely tricky about this database is that most of the big tables are partitioned (its all time series data and metadata).

ora2pg - despite the name - can also migrate a MySQL database to Postgres.

Thanks for all of the suggestions … I should also note that because its going into AWS, the relevant integrator in our IT department suggested the AWS Database Migration Service, which is actually where I’m starting.

I got a private suggestion for pgloader, which will be the second option I try if the database migration service doesn’t work out.


Also, our integrator likes DataGrip as a commercial tool to move between databases.
