Hi, My internal customer has a new project and is considering using MySQL. Knowing that I'm a Postgres person, the customer is open to considering Postgres at a later date if the cost to transition is less than 40 hours. The database will probably be relatively small and simple (still in the planning stage). I personally think it's not possible to convert even a simple database from MySQL to Postgres in less than 40 hours. Has anyone done the conversion before? If so, what do you think? Please advise.
