Subject: [pgadmin-support] Miigration Wizard ignores not nulls & default values

Hi,

 

Noticed 2 problems migrating from SQLServer 2000 using pgAdmin 1.4.12:

1. NOT NULLs other than the primary key code migrate over as NULLs
2. Default values are not migrated

I’m writing a script to fix these errors, but any advice would be most appreciated….

 

Hi Roger,

Did you have the 'Don't ignore NOT NULL' option checked when you migrated?

The default values are not migrated at all as you say (though they were years ago). Primarily this is because they tend to cause too many problems with syntax incompatibilities between DBMSs.

Regards, Dave.
