Releases Open Source Replication & Database Conversion Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 13:32:41 -0400 (AST) Pasadena, California PostgreSQL, Inc. For Release 7 a.m. PST PO Box 1648 Friday, December 22nd, 2000 Wolfville, Nova Scotia Canada, B0P 1X0 Phone 902 542 0713 Toll Free 1 877 542 0713 Fax 902 542 5386 PostgreSQL, Inc. Releases Open Source Replication & Database Conversion Tools PostgreSQL, the world's most advanced Open Source Object-based Relational Database Management System (ORBMS), now offers companies the security of a Replication Server, providing data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions previously limited to more costly commercial RDBMS packages. Replication is an important requirement for commercial applications, and an essential set of utilities for supporting the expanding market of PostgreSQL servers worldwide. MySQL(TM) is a leading GPL database application that has established itself as a solid and commendable entry level solution in the market. PostgreSQL offers transactions and other features along with improved scalability for companies and individuals whose database needs grow beyond current MySQL(TM) capabilities. Working closely with Tim Perdue and others at VA Linux, PgSQL's Thomas Lockhart developed the mysql2pgsql utility in support of the recent conversion of SourceForge(TM) to PostgreSQL. As a gift of the holiday season to the entire PostgreSQL open source community, PostgreSQL, Inc.(PgSQL) is pleased to announce the release of RServ v0.1, the Open Source version of our eRServer utilities for PostgreSQL v7.1 along with the first of our Conversion Utilities - mysql2pgsql. Both of these utilities are published under the Berkeley BSD Open Source license, in keeping with PgSQL's commitment to supporting, promoting, and advancing PostgreSQL database applications. Both utilities have now been added to the open source PostgreSQL CVS tree, and may also be obtained directly by using the Download option on the PgSQL Website at: http://www.pgsql.com/ With best wishes for happy holidays and a great 2001 from all of the PgSQL team to everyone in the open source community!
