Hi list,
A postgresql migration I am doing (the same one for which the OLE DB driver was written) has finally passed the proof-of-concept stage (phew). I now have lots and lots of tidbits, tricks and tips for SQL Server migration, which I would love to put online. Is pgFoundry the right place? I understand that the code snippets section is not yet operative, but I would still love to put it online ASAP (i.e. - before I forget), and to have it all in one place.
We have a couple of articles about sql server migration up on techdocs now, so that seems the most appropriate place for documenting the process you went through.

We wrote a perl script that takes the output of the database dump done by MS-SQL, and converts it into an SQL script for postgres (including yanking the data from the MS-SQL tables, and inlining it into the Postgresql script using copy). That needs to go somewhere.
It is highly likely that people will find bugs, or want to make additions, to the above two, so source control seems like a necessary idea.
In short, I think a pgFoundry project seems better suited for our needs than static documentation.
