So, it seems to me that there is a fair bit of work to be done on
helping people migrate MySQL to PostgreSQL.
So far, the checklist I can see includes:
* Maintaining conversion scripts
* Reviewing pain points and looking at ways of mitigating them.
* Building solid migration documentation
* Providing porting frameworks
This last item could have some potentials. For example, a source-code
compatible library to map MySQL client lib system calls to libpq
operations for the C API, PHP wrapper scripts, etc.
My company will be providing a PHP wrapper script, and will be working
on some documentation. Most of the documentation will be BSD-style
licensed with the exception of the references to my company's services
(which must be stripped out of non-verbatim reproductions).
If anyone else sees any other interesting areas that need work, it might
be worthwhile to discuss them as well.
Best Wishes,
