[postgis-users] MySQL->PostGIS

[david techer]

U're right...I've just talk about people who did the personaly choice to 
migrate!

But I've always been happy to see someone to make or to try migrating 
from mysql to postgis :-)

It could be benefic...I think!

I've never said that there is magic solution to migrate from mysql to 
postgis...Unfortunately!


Since june 2003, I worked with PostGIS and it became my favorite tool...

As  one of my friend is used to tolding me: "The Dark Side of GIS' 
tools, it is PostGIS...!"

But since june 2003, I worked with PostGIS...I've never used mysql in 
all docs I did until now!

That's the reason why I made the personnal  and political choice to 
eject mysql from my computer.



Regards.

David
