I have the task of converting a SQL Server 2000 database to PostgreSQL. The data itself does not need to be converted, but the structure and stored procedures must be. I expect that converting tables and views will be simple. I expect that converting stored procedures and user-defined functions from T-SQL to PostgreSQL will be more complex. In any case, I am looking for recommendations and counsel regarding my expectations. I have much Windows 2000/NT and SQL Server experience, and some Unix/Linux experience, probably post-beginner level. (I used to work with Unix and VMS all the time in college 15 years ago but haven't touched it since.) I plan to use a Windows client such as pgAdminIII to administer and work with the database in PostgreSQL. The database is used by a WindowsCE application, so I will need to change its data access layer from SQLClient to whatever is needed in CE and Windows to access PostgreSQL. Thank you in advance for your recommendations, advice, warnings, gripes, etc. Rod Early ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
