1. Migrating from MySQL

   Is this a simple matter of doing a mysqldump to a textfile and a copy into
   my new postgresql database?

   nope, as MySQL has "features" that aren't compatible with other databases
   ... different ways of doing database structure, non-SQL compliant types,
   etc ... each database server tends to have their own quirks, some more
   then others ... you'll have to hand massage the mysqldump to fit
   PostgreSQL, but, having done it before, it is doable ...
