Ok. Thanks anyway.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.

Hi Nicklas,

Our backup procedure is from before-WAL-times so it does not use WAL. 
Currently we make daily dumps which are stored if different from the 
previous one (based on md5). Not much help for the things that you asked 
for, sorry.

Thanks for the reply. It's good to hear that you are happy with 
PostgreSQL. It's actually quite hard to find someone that isn't...

In any case, if it's not too much trouble it would be nice to hear what 
your "techs" have to say.

Hi Nicklas,

We are using PostgreSQL as BASE's back-end and are very happy with it. I 
am not familiar with the details of the installation and backup setup, 
since it is a department-wide installation administered by our techs. I 
could ask about the backup though, if you were interested.

It is been some time since I played with the server last time. Three 
years ago when we migrated from BASE1 to BASE2, we had a few small 
issues connected to mysql - pgsql differences, but part of it was 
probably the fact that the migration code was developed for mysql.

Good luck with the migration,
Pawel

[base] Anyone using BASE with PostgreSQL?

2011-09-28 Thread Nicklas Nordborg
Hello,

We are thinking about migrating our BASE production server from MySQL to 
PostgreSQL. The major reason is that PostgreSQL seems to have a lot more 
interesting solutions for backup. We are particularly interested in the 
WAL archiving solution. Possible combined with a "warm standby" server 
which can then be used for SQL dumps without disturbing the main server.

We have a similar procedure for MySQL but it is not a "continuous" 
backup in the first step and the SQL dump is taking far too long time.

So, if anyone has any experience with PostgreSQL we would love to hear 
about your experience.

There is also a ticket related to the MySQL->PostgreSQL migration on our 
website (http://base.thep.lu.se/ticket/1630). Any comments about that 
are also welcome.

Thanks,
   Nicklas
