Re: PostgresSQL or MySql with django?

You don't have to have the databases set up at the same time for the django-extensions dumpscript method (nor for the dumpdata method). I haven't used it myself, but as I understand it, the script will contain the data you need.

1. Create the script with existing MySQL running
2. Reconfigure settings for PostgreSQL
3. Run the script
   

I'm not saying it's better than any other method, just throwing out the option.

Actually, I think that's exactly what he meant. If MySQL is working,
do the dumpdata commands. Save the output. Change your settings to use
Postgres. Then run the loaddata commands. At that point, you've
successfully replaced MySQL with Postgres.
