PostgreSQL-to-MySQL is a program to migrate PostgreSQL databases to MySQL, MariaDB or Percona server. Depending on your privileges on the target server you can export PostgreSQL data into new database or overwrite the contents of an existing MySQL database. The program has high performance due to direct connection to data source and destination databases (it does not use ODBC or any other middleware software). Command line support allows to script, automate and schedule the conversion process.

Features All versions of PostgreSQL are supported All versions of Unix and Windows MySQL are supported including MariaDB and Percona forks Verified support for Heroku Fast conversion engine (about 10,000 records per second of average modern system) Option to export PostgreSQL data into MySQL dump file Option to convert individual tables Option to filter data using SELECT-queries Converts indexes and foreign keys with all necessary attributes Existing MySQL database can be overwritten, merged or synchronized with PostgreSQL data Command line support Stores conversion settings into profile Support for multibyte character sets Quick Launch Easy-to-use wizard-style interface Full install/uninstall support Unlimited 24/7 support service 1-year subscription for updates Limitations Does not convert views, stored procedures and triggers (our specialists can convert these objects manually as Database Migration Service) Demo version converts only 50 records per table Demo version does not convert foreign keys

Requirements

• Windows XP (SP2 or SP3) / 2003 / Vista / Server 2008 / 7 / 8 / 10 or Linux with WINE
• Necessary privileges to write into the destination database

Virtual Server users option

If you are using Virtual Server hosting you probably have no sufficient privileges to create new databases on the target MySQL server. For this case we recommend the following approach:

1. ask your Virtual Server administrator to create blank database for you
2. run PostgreSQL-to-MySQL and select this database as the conversion target
3. click "Yes" when you will be asked if you'd like to overwrite existing MySQL database

When you complete these steps, the entire contents of the source PostgreSQL database will be imported into the specified MySQL database.

Synchronization

PostgreSQL to MySQL converter implements synchronization as combination of insert PostgreSQL records that are missing in MySQL table and update existing MySQL records with PostgreSQL data. For synchronization purpose source and destination tables must have identical structures and have primary key or unique index defined.

If you need more options to configure the synchronization or want to reduce duration of the process via "incremental" technique, take a look at MySQL-PostgreSQL Sync, special product to synchronize MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.

Quick Launch

Once you stored conversion settings into profile you can run the program in Quick Launch mode. Just launch Windows Explorer and double-click on the profile description (.p2s) file with left mouse button. This will cause PostgreSQL-to-MySQL wizard to launch conversion loading the necessary settings from the specified profile. Then you will be taken right to the screen with progress of conversion without entering all conversion settings.

MySQL dump file

PostgreSQL-to-MySQL converter allows users to perform deferred conversion and get more control over the process. Following this way, the program stores the contents of the source database into a local dump file instead of moving it to MySQL server directly. The resulting file contains MySQL statements to create all tables and to fill them with the data. Click here to learn how to import dump file into MySQL database.

Try before you buy

Still not sure the program fits your needs? Try free demo version with limited features. It will allow you to convert only 50 records for each database table, it does NOT convert queries/views and foreign keys. Test the quality of the demo and come back to place an order if satisfied with the results.
