Re: MS-server <-> Ppostgresql

Just an idea: we recently migrated a bigger database from BTrieve to Oracle, through intermediate text files. Can't you do something similar? Exporting on one side and importing on the other. That worked better for us than copying on a record by record basis.

Apology for my so poop english... and my cross-postage.

I plan to extract/copy about 120.000 lines from a MS SQL 7 server database
(on a NT machione) to a postresql database on a Linux machine (debian/woody).

But what a pity : I obtain (after so many tests, so many compilation with
so many different options) a copy of about 1200 lines/minute ;~{

And horror, I plan to make the same thing whith a 3.000.000 lines database.

Any idea ?
Best regards

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo(at)postgresql(dot)org)
