Hi,
I would be keen to find a tool that is capable of comparing actual
data. I need to confirm if a migration from mysql to postgres is successful.
I have tried dbdiff however it appears very slow, as it uses odbc and pulls
data across to network to the client. I'm after something I could run on the
server(linux based) that can compare data, perhaps some sort of scripting
might be able to achieve the results im after. I would appreciate any
advice.

Regards,
Theo

You might want to check out the dbi-link project on pgfoundry.org which
should allow you to connect from your postgresql database to your my$ql
database. This should give you the ability to write queries comparing
the two systems. HTH.
