Re: [PERFORM] Database conversion woes...

[Kevin Carpenter]

First just wanted to say thank you all for the quick and helpful 
answers.  With all the input I know I am on the right track.  With that 
in mind I created a perl script to do my migrations and to do it based 
on moving from a db name to a schema name.  I had done alot of the 
reading on converting based on the miss match of data types that MySQL 
likes to use.  I must say it is VERY nice having a intelligent system 
that say won't let a date of '0000-00-00' be entered.  Luckily I didn't 
have to deal with any enumerations.

So the conversion goes on.  I will definitely be back and forth in here 
as I get the new queries written and start migrating all I can back into 
the pg backend using plpgsql or c for the stored procedures where 
required.  The mammoth replicator has been working well.  I had tried 
the pgsql-r and had limited success with it, and dbmirror was just 
taking to long having to do 4 db transactions just to mirror one 
command.  I have eserv but was never really a java kind of guy.

Alright then - back to my code.  Again thanks for the help and info.

Kevin
