On the other hand, some of the notes already mentioned on the wiki, such as for example: http://www.xach.com/aolserver/mysql-to-postgresql.html ...are so outdated and/or bad that they're probably counter-productive. Also, a page such as http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/How_to_make_a_proper_migration_from_MySQL_to_ PostgreSQL reads as something that (unintentionally I imagine) discourages people from trying to migrate rather than providing any actual help. You don't help people by telling them a migration will be very long and hard and that they should probably redesign a lot, without knowing anything about their application/database. It could be just as well very smooth with immediate benefits. IMHO such contents should simply be scraped/unlinked.
