This README describes howto move mysql database robtestproduction to postgresql DATABASE CREATED? Take care that the database has been created on alice! If not, then you have to create the database named robtestproduction on alice postgresql server before. MOVE Create a dump on robtestdb.physi.uni-heidelberg.de where the mysql server is running. Use this command: mysqldump -u root -p robtestproduction > dump.sql Use the script convert2psql to convert the dump into a psql readable format in the same directory where dump.sql resides. Use command: ./convert2psql The convert2psql script creates the file dump.4psql.sql. Copy this file into your alice home directory. You need postgresql admin rights. Use command: psql robtestproduction -s -f dump.4psql.sql CONVERT TO NEW CHANGES There are some changes done on database structure. Use command: psql robtestproduction -s -f change2newDB.sql Be carfully!! Test the new databes on alice against mysql databe if really synchronised!! USER,ROLES AND GRANT Take care that you have to grant user rights again.
