Обсуждение: Migrating from MySQL
I want to migrate a production MySQL database to PostgreSQL. Is there any free tool that works effectively?
I downloaded PostgreSQL plus advanced server from EnterpriseDB website. Should I go with the original community PGSQL edition or EnterpriseDB edition?

Personally, I think that the standard PostgreSQL would more than suffice as a MySQL replacement. I thought most of the EntepriseDB specific features were oriented around Oracle database compatibility.

If you work on a Linux/BSD/... OS distribution with a sane package manager, I always try to work with the version that comes with the distribution: you won't have to care about security updates and the like, they'll just come in with the OS updates. Of course, on Windows (and commercial Unices?), you don't have that choice. cheers -- vbi -- Could this mail be a fake? (Answer: No! - http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/intro)
