MySQL PHP to PostgreSQL is a software that converts MySQL calls in PHP pages to PostgreSQL calls seamlessly. It simplifies the migration process from MySQL database to PostgreSQL database.
MySQL PHP to PostgreSQL is a software application designed to facilitate the conversion of a PHP website that has been written using MySQL calls into PostgreSQL calls. By doing so, this program enables websites to operate on PostgreSQL, even if it was initially designed to work only with MySQL.
The installation and implementation processes are relatively straightforward. Firstly, the user needs to download and uncompress the software using either the tar xvzf mysqlphp2postgres.tar.gz command, or gzip -dc mysqlphp2postgres.tar.gz | tar xvf - if using a non-GNU system. The software is then compiled using the make command (with the option to edit the make file for non-GNU systems), followed by installation using make install to copy the binary file to /usr/local/bin/.
The software is then ready to use, and the conversion process can be initiated using the mysqlphp2postgres command, which requires the input file (i.e., the PHP file using MySQL functions) and outputs the file (i.e., a new PHP file compatible with PostgreSQL). In some cases, it may be necessary to provide the name of the PostgreSQL database as a -d switch since mysql_select_db cannot be translated.
One potential issue of this software is that MySQL has more functions in PHP than PostgreSQL. While the lack of support for some functions has not been a problem for the reviewer's programs, it is likely to be an issue for others, making code optimization to support these functions a challenge.
This program's newest release has fixed bugs, cleaned up the code, and now optimizes for PHP 4.1.0 and above. Overall, MySQL PHP to PostgreSQL is an effective tool for converting PHP websites from MySQL to PostgreSQL, and the implementation process is simple enough for users to use without difficulty.
