MySQL to PostgreSQL [FAQ] [About Migration] [Tutorial] [Release Notes] [Download] [Buy]
Latest version 6.3 released 12/04/2023MySQL to PostgreSQL converter is a program to migrate MySQL databases to PostgreSQL server. The program has high performance due to combination of efficient low-level techniques of reading/writing data and parallel migration algorithm. Command line support allows to script, automate and schedule the conversion process. Features

  • Tables, data, indexes, constraints and views are migrated
  • Support for on-premises and cloud DBMS: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, Heroku, Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon RDS
  • High performance of the migration
  • SSL connection for PostgreSQL is supported
  • Option to customize field mapping (modify name, type, default values for every column)
  • Option to merge or synchronize PostgreSQL database with MySQL data
  • Option to export into SQL script file
  • Option to filter data using SELECT-queries
  • Command line support
  • Quick Launch
  • Stores conversion settings into profile
Video Demonstration Limitations
  • Does not convert stored procedures and triggers (our specialists can convert these objects manually as Database Migration Service)
  • Demo version converts only 50 records per table
  • Demo version does not convert foreign keys and views
Download trial version of MySQL to PostgreSQLRequirements
  • Windows 7/8/10/11, Server 2008/2012/2016/2019/2022 or Linux with WINE
  • Necessary privileges to write into the destination database
PerformanceMySQL to PostgreSQL converter uses low-level APIs for reading and writing data: MySQL C API (aka libmysql) and C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL (aka libpq). Starting from version 6.3 it also applies new parallel migration engine. The main benefit of this technique is capability to set up all parameters automatically depending on hardware platform: volume of single transaction is configured based on available memory and concurrent threads are set up based on number of physical CPU cores. This results performance of database migration is about 500MB per minute onIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-12650H 2.30 GHz system with 32GB RAM. Quick LaunchOnce you stored conversion settings into profile you can run the program in Quick Launch mode. Just launch Windows Explorer and double-click on the profile description (.s2p) file with left mouse button. This will cause MySQL to PostgreSQL wizard to launch conversion loading the necessary settings from the specified profile. Then you will be taken right to the screen with progress of conversion without entering all conversion settings.SynchronizationMySQL to PostgreSQL converter implements synchronization as combination of insert MySQL records that are missing in PostgreSQL table and update existing PostgreSQL records with MySQL data. For synchronization purpose source and destination tables must have identical structures and primary key or unique index defined.

If you need more options to configure the synchronization or need to reduce duration of the process via "incremental" technique, take a look at MySQL-PostgreSQL Sync, special product to synchronize MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.

How to convert SQL queries between MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Oracle ?

  • Drag and drop your SQL file or copy/paste your query text directly into the "Source" editor.
  • Select the source and target databases.
  • Click on "Convert" to transform your SQL statement.
You can convert multiple queries simultaneously, as long as they are separated by a semicolon.

One of the standout features of this tool is its transparency. Not only does it convert your query, but it also provides detailed explanations of the transformations it has applied. This transparency is crucial for understanding the changes made to your SQL code, ensuring that you can maintain control and accuracy throughout the conversion process.

Please keep in mind that this tool is currently in alpha version.It has numerous limitations, and only converts a tiny portion of SQL language between different databases.The result of this tool can provide some assistance if you are not familiar with the specific SQL of a given database.it's essential to thoroughly review and test the converted queries to ensure they meet your specific database requirements.Caution, the generated queries may no longer match the functionality of the original query. It is highly likely that the generated SQL queries will be invalid.

You may change databases for various reasons:

  • Performance: Enhance operations as data grows, ensuring efficient workload handling with modern databases for faster responses.
  • Scalability: Adapt to expanding data requirements by moving to horizontally scalable databases for larger datasets and users.
  • New Features: Utilize advanced analytics, machine learning, and real-time processing in newer database systems.
  • Cost Efficiency: Address cost concerns by seeking cost-effective alternatives or cloud-based solutions.
  • Security & Compliance: Meet changing regulations and security needs with more secure, compliant databases.
  • Vendor Flexibility: Avoid vendor lock-in and gain flexibility by switching to vendor-agnostic solutions.
  • Data Integration: Improve data integration capabilities with databases supporting seamless ETL and tool integration.

For example, why convert mysql to postgresql?Convert MySQL to PostgreSQL for better SQL standard compliance, advanced features like complex data types and full-text search, improved performance, and seamless integration with PostgreSQL-specific tools and applications.

Changing databases is not always straightforward due to the intricacies of SQL variations across different database systems and the familiarity with existing practices.Our SQL converter can provide some initial assistance to get started. However, our SQL converter is not flawless, and it should not be relied upon blindly.

This script won't work properly if there are tab characters in text columns, though the call to mdb-export could be modified to export INSERT statements to fix this. Also, mdb-schema has trouble representing multi-column foreign keys, so foreignkeys.sql may need some manual editing.

Ispirer Toolkit automatically migrates the entire database schema (tables, views, stored procedures, functions, triggers, etc.) and transfers data from MySQL to PostgreSQL. A free demo of Ispirer Toolkit is available.

SQLWays Toolkit is an easy-to-use database migration tool for migration of the entire database schema, SQL objects, tables, and data between the most popular databases. The tool is available as a free online converter and provides a free demo license.

pgloader supports full migration of the database schema and data from a single command line and provides a command language for more complex or specific scenarios. It is still fully supported: please report any bugs on its GitHub page. It appears in the 2013 section here because that's when it has been published first.

I have seen ZOHO Creator and that looks like what I need, but the only trouble is - it is only available on their website, and would mean I would have to give everyone Internet access in order for them to look at the database (which is not an option). I have asked them if ZOHO can be downloaded to run on our own servers, but they have said no.

The thing I am asking for is if there are any open source/free web form design programs that I can use to create my web forms that will be stored on that server as well (in PHP/Perl or what ever language will run on there).

I am glad to see we are on the same proverbial page, however, i personally do not know of any open source/free web form design programs which can be used to interact with MySQL by the end-user. All of my MySQL interaction tends to be from a command line, so i have never researched other options, and am not familiar with this type of GUI based solutions.

I actually have a small site that I put together for exactly this. It does not require too much in the sense of knowing PHP inside and out, but it uses PHP to connect to a MySQL DB and has HTML forms to view/edit.

Did you ever get anywhere with this, I would like to get something similar so I can setup our HR team using a web frontend to enter personnel information in to MySQL instead of Access which sounds like something similar to what you are doing?

I used the Web Form Factory that it refers to and it was very satisfactory for automatically creating the tables within a mysql table of my choice and allowing me to use the converted form which is now in php format to update entries as necessary.

Initially all you would have to do after the table is created is to import the excel spreadsheet using phpMyAdmin in .csv form straight into the table and then from then on out, use the resulted php form created by the Web Form Factory.

As an alternative to the Web Form Factory, mysql offers a free Workbench tool which will create input forms as well as the php code to display the resulting database, complete with search options. All it requires is a local install on a windows box.
