      <title>(more) Migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://people.planetpostgresql.org/chriskl/"&gt;Christopher Kings-Lynne&lt;/a&gt; is getting &lt;a href="http://people.planetpostgresql.org/chriskl/index.php?/archives/50-MySQL-Compatibility-Project-First-Beta-Release.html"&gt;ready to release&lt;/a&gt; 1.0 of his cool project on PgFoundry called, &lt;a href="http://pgfoundry.org/projects/mysqlcompat"&gt;MySQL Compatibility Functions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;What does this provide?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;A reimplemenation of as many MySQL functions as possible in PostgreSQL, as an aid to porting.&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Basically&amp;#8230; a bunch of pg/sql functions&amp;#8230; to account for all those mysql functions that you all love so much. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;For those who feel like they are stuck with MySQL&amp;#8230; &lt;a href="http://cvs.pgfoundry.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mysqlcompat/mysqlcompat/"&gt;check this out&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;...it&amp;#8217;s not too late!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Next Week&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;ll discuss my progress with &lt;a href="http://postgis.refractions.net/"&gt;PostGIS&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org"&gt;Ruby on Rails&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
