[gentoo-user] mysql to postgresql migration

2014-07-15 Thread James
Hello,

I recently ran across this script: py-mysql2pgsql [1]
and this discussion on it's origin [2]. I'm keenly interested
in the recommendations of others for migrating mysql databases
to postgresql and any comments on this aforementioned script
or other methodologies


TIA,
James

James,

I haven't looked into this recently. But I believe that the DDLs and data can 
be migrated relatively easy.

Just be aware that software specifically written using MySQLs version of SQL is 
unlikely to work on a different RDBMS without extensive rewrites.

This is the biggest problem people are facing when porting websites to use a 
different database.

What is the reason for migrating and what kind of data and applications are you 
using?
