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 new data type (a tinyint replacement), that will not be
part of postgresql any time soon. We need to put the code up somewhere.
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.

Feel free to apply for a pgFoundry project - most are approved very quickly.
cheers
