It knows how to load data from several kinds of source: Files Live Databases Let’s dive into those two different behaviours of pgloader, starting with its support for migrating a whole database from a connection string.

The paper is titled Migrating to PostgreSQL, Tools and Methodology and details the Continuous Migration approach. It describes how to migrate from another relational database server technology to PostgreSQL. The reasons to do so are many, and first among them is often the licensing model. https://pgloader.io/blog/pgloader-your-migration-companion/ Mon, 30 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://pgloader.io/blog/pgloader-your-migration-companion/ PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2017 PGConf.EU is a unique chance for European PostgreSQL users and developers to catch up, learn, build relationships, get to know each other and consolidate a real network of professionals that use and work with PostgreSQL. pgloader, your migration companion Migrating data from another RDBMS to PostgreSQL should be really easy. After all it’s all relations and tables and the same data types everywhere or abouts, with text, dates and numbers. https://pgloader.io/home/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://pgloader.io/home/ pgloader loads data into PostgreSQL and allows you to implement Continuous Migration from your current database to PostgreSQL. Read the White Paper to learn how to limit risks and control your budget, and start your PostgreSQL migration today! Introduction pgloader has two modes of operation. It can either load data from files, such as CSV or Fixed-File Format; or migrate a whole database to PostgreSQL. pgloader supports several RDBMS solutions as a migration source, and fetches information from the catalog tables over a connection to then create an equivalent schema in PostgreSQL. https://pgloader.io/licensing/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://pgloader.io/licensing/ pgloader is Open Source.

We have collectively handled hundreds of migrations to Postgres, taking into account many different situations, constraints, and platforms. https://pgloader.io/white-paper/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://pgloader.io/white-paper/ The pgloader tool is meant to allow one to implement the Continuous Migration project methodology when migrating to PostgreSQL. This methodology is meant to reduce risks inherent to such complex projects. After having been involved in many migration projects in the past, I decided to publish a White Paper about this project methodology! Migrating to PostgreSQL, Tools and Methodology The migration method proposed here is called Continuous Migration.
