Hi Rich.  Seems once again we're meeting in the same places.  The Internet
sure seems small sometimes.

  Hello, again, Rod.

I saw all the other posts but you might look at dbwrench (a Java
application). Does a lot more than what you need (plus after 30 days costs
approx. $150) but our lead programmer is using it to reverse engineer a
MySQL database he shoe-horned into PostgreSQL. He loves it.

  There has been someone else working on this effort to move XRMS from
strictly MySQL to PostgreSQL, and he's been at it longer. But, it's almost
there now.

  The install script generated an error message with every create statement,
but the tables were created anyway. But, the indices are wrong and the dates
have screwy values. I printed the web page as a .ps file and sent that to the
developers. They told me what the most likely cause was, so I'll go through
the install.xml file and make their recommended changes, then re-run the
install script. So this is very close to working and it's a one-shot deal for
me.

  At OSCON last summer I spoke with the SugarCRM sales folks. They said that
they received many requiests to add PostgreSQL support, but management wants
to stick with MySQL. You'll recall from the other mail list that I had a time
getting MySQL properly installed and configured just to run this one
application. After trying it for a while I discovered that I really didn't
like it. I think XRMS will do much better.

  On the other side of this thread, the command line pg_dump worked with the
proper syntax. I think it was the two original replies (one with a command
line solution, the other with a psql solution) that confused me. Why none of
the psql commands are working for me I don't know. But, pg_dump works just
fine. Thanks to everyone.

Rich
