Why should you migrate?
If your current MySQL database does not offer some needed functionnalities according to your business as:
– more security
– more high availibilty options (hot standby)
– Strong Data Warehouse capabilities
If you want to consolidate the number of different instances (Postgres, MySQL, MS-SQL,…)
If you want to reduce administrative costs by using fewer database platforms
Which tool should you use?
the migration Toolkit command-line from EnterpriseDB that can be found below
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/products-overview/postgres-plus-solution-pack/migration-toolkit
Why ?
Really easy to use
Which MySQL Objects are supported for the migration?
– Schemas
– Tables
– Constraints
– Indexes
– Table Data
What about partitionned table?
You have to remove the partitions before the migration
mysql> ALTER TABLE Table_name REMOVE PARTITIONING;
My environment:
MySQL: 5.7.14 on Oracle Linux Server 7.1
PostgreSQL: 9.6.1.4 on Oracle Linux Server 7.1
What are the prerequisites?
– download the migration toolkit from EnterpriseDB
Note that it can be only installed by registered users but the registration is free and can be done directly on the EnterpriseDB website.
– Install it and follow the instructions
./edb-migrationtoolkit-50.0.1-2-linux-x64.run
– download the MySQL JDBC driver: mysql-connector-java-5.1.40-bin.jar
http://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/third-party-jdbc-drivers
– Install the driver by moving it to the right directory:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3.x86_64/jre/lib/ext
– To facilitate  the migration, you have to prepare the configuration file: toolkit.properties located in your installation directory
the most important is to associate the right JDBC URL to the SRC_DB_URL parameter
SRC_DB_URL=jdbc:mysql://hostname[:port]/database
Following is the content of the config file
SRC_DB_URL=jdbc:mysql://192.168.56.200:33001/employees
SRC_DB_USER=root
SRC_DB_PASSWORD=manager
TARGET_DB_URL=jdbc:edb://192.168.56.200:5433/employees # the database must be created in Postgres before
TARGET_DB_USER=postgres
TARGET_DB_PASSWORD=manager

In case you get MySQL connection problems (SSL), modify the parameter SRC_DB_URL
SRC_DB_URL=jdbc:mysql://192.168.56.200:33001/employees?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false
This will disable SSL and also suppress SSL errors.
Before starting the Migration, it is mandatory to create a blank target database in the Postgres instance
What options for the migration ?
-sourcedbtype is mysql
-targetdbtype is enterprisedb
-fetchsize is 1  to avoid  an ‘out of heap space’ error and force the toolkit to load data one row at a time
How to start the migration?
[root@pg_essentials_p1 mtk]# bin/runMTK.sh -sourcedbtype mysql -targetdbtype enterprisedb -fetchSize 1 employees
