Some questions.
1) Are you only pulling records from the MySQL db that are not in the Pg db?
What about previously pulled records that have changed in MySQL, are the
changes going to be propagated to Pg?
What about deleted records?
2) As mentioned in another post what about data cleanup?
For instance MySQL '00-00-000' date, or empty string in integer fields?
I have done this using a Python script. Not on a minute to minute basis, but I
could see doing it either using sleep() or by calling the script in a cron job.
