Moving from MySQL

Hi

I am sorry for mailing this list directly, but I am planning to migrate a web application from MySQL to Postgres. I am aware of a number of applications to help in this process, ie my2pg, etc. The biggest stumbling block I face is replication.

What facilities exist within Postgres to replicate data from one instance to another?
Which version of Postgres would people to recommend?

Many thanx

There are several replication mechanisms available for PostgreSQL. The two
shipped with it are dbmirror and rserv. I believe that rserv will shortly
be replaced by erserv, which is based on rsev and uses Java instead of
perl.

The latest production release is 7.3.4. I'd recoomend using that.

Let me start by saying that I'm still very new at PHP/MySql and will take any advice. :-) The issues is that every once in a while users get an error when they use this code. I believe the issue is that I'm copying the primary key as well as the other data in the row. So, my thoughts on fixing this are to just select everything but the 'pkey' column, but I'm not sure what would result from that. Would MySql use the next auto...

On moving my data files from /var/lib to /mnt/ramdisk I seem to be missing something.

MySQL seems to start ok, but when I use my application through Apache the error message is that MySQL is not running (I think it's just not finding it). Any suggestions? Creigh

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
