Migrate from MySQL Database to PostgresSQL Database
$ pgloader mysql://${mysql_username}:${mysql_password}@${mysql_hostname}:${mysql_port}/${mysql_database_name} postgresql://${postgres_username}:${postgres_password}@${postgres_hostname}:${postgres_port}/${postgres_database_name}
try on your machine

This command is used to transfer data from a MySQL database to a PostgreSQL database using the pgloader tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • pgloader is the command to run the pgloader tool.
  • mysql://${mysql_username}:${mysql_password}@${mysql_hostname}:${mysql_port}/${mysql_database_name} specifies the source MySQL database. Replace ${mysql_username} with the username, ${mysql_password} with the password, ${mysql_hostname} with the hostname or IP address of the MySQL server, ${mysql_port} with the port number where MySQL is running, and ${mysql_database_name} with the name of the MySQL database you want to transfer.
  • postgresql://${postgres_username}:${postgres_password}@${postgres_hostname}:${postgres_port}/${postgres_database_name} specifies the destination PostgreSQL database. Replace ${postgres_username} with the username, ${postgres_password} with the password, ${postgres_hostname} with the hostname or IP address of the PostgreSQL server, ${postgres_port} with the port number where PostgreSQL is running, and ${postgres_database_name} with the name of the PostgreSQL database where you want to transfer the data.

Basically, this command connects to the source MySQL database specified in the first part and the destination PostgreSQL database specified in the second part, and it transfers the data from MySQL to PostgreSQL. The tool takes care of converting the data types and ensuring the compatibility between the databases.
