MySQL to PostgreSQL converter
=============================
*mangos* supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL as database backends. As we
provide the database structure and content only in MySQL format, this helper
application will allow you to export your database from a local MySQL server
to a local PostgreSQL server.

Requirements
------------
For the converter you will need both [MySQL][10] and [PostgreSQL][11] installed
on your system, including development headers.

Compilation
-----------
To build the converter you will need [CMake][20], a C/C++ compiler of your
choice ([Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop][21], [GCC][22], and
[Clang][23] have been tested).

Compilation - Linux
-------------------
Build the command-line utility by executing:

    $ rm -rf _build && mkdir -p _build && cd _build
    $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    $ make

Compilation - Windows
---------------------
Build the command-line utility by opening this directory with the CMake-GUI.
Select a matching Visual Studio generator, and create project files.

Once done, open the generated project files in Visual Studio and build the
converter.

Usage
-----
Execute the generated `mysql2pgsql` application to convert the *mangos* databases
from MySQL to PostgreSQL.
