Today pgloader v3.4.1 is released and available! This new release comes with 110 commits as show in github compare view.
This release of pgloader is following the tradition of simplifying things for users, or if you allow me to quote Alan Kay, I believe that if simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible.
As presented at the PostgreSQL Conference Europe the new version of pgloader is now able to fully migrate a MySQL database, including discovering the schema, casting data types, transforming data and default values. Sakila is the traditional MySQL example database, in this article we’re going to fully migrate it over to PostgreSQL.
About the only time when I will accept to work with MySQL is when you need help to migrate away from it because you decided to move to PostgreSQL instead. And it’s already been too much of a pain really, so after all this time I began consolidating what I know about that topic and am writing a software to help me here. Consider it the MySQL Migration Toolkit.
