++ DB Migration from MySQL to Postgres ++
I had always wanted to get into PgSQL ever since MySQL was sold several years back. I would procrastinate because the MySQL Community version remained reliable.
Having migrated several DBs, such as NC, LMS, Mail data stores, I scolded myself for delaying it until last week.
Some services would however only work best with MySQL as the official DB e.g. Yourls (mysql/sqlite). They would remain like that.
In summary, I am more than impressed with PgSQL. Memory footprint is tiny - 60GB utilised by all services on this server despite additional DB servers. The memory consumption has remained approximately that amount for years. MySQL would not do the same if there were additional instances of it.
