I'm wondering if anyone can point me towards a good method for moving mysql data into Postgres?
I had to do this last year with the ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) maintained by the US Geological Survey. Some MySQL key words were immediately recognized and I used emac's global-search-and-replace to change them to postgres words. Then I tried reading in individual tables to a newly created database and redirected errors to a disk file. I fixed the errors postgres identified, dropped the table, and repeated until there were no errors. Took a bit of time but worked just fine. Then I sent the USGS database maintainer a dump of the postgres database because he wanted to migrate from mysql to postgres there. I think of it as a public service. :-) Rich -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
