Walker,
Well, that depends. You could map out an extraction file to the
PostgreSQL, but
I guess the bigger question is what purposes was the MySQL used for?
Was it a prior
DSpace installation? (That would make the process somewhat easier).
Are these records in MySQL storing Dublin Core Metadata + the bitstream?
In a future release there will be a batch editing program that
**might** (I use caution here)
assist you with the data. Also, there is an excel macro tool that
OhioLINK uses
to load records and their associated Metadata into DSpace.
I think you question needs a little more detail before a solid answer
could be given to you.
Best wishes,
Jeffrey Trimble

Hi all,
Apologies in advance if this has already been covered.
I have a lot of records stored in a MySQL database. I've just got an
instance of DSpace up, and I'd like to migrate the records from MySQL
to a collection in DSpace. Has anyone done something similar to this
or know what some first steps would be?
Thank you,
Walker
