Hello,
We have 700 user install base using Sybase SQL Anywhere 9.02
We are looking at migrating these installations over to PostGres
1. Very Very Short Answer Please - why should we?
2. Does anyone have a utility or migration application to read SQL Anywhere
to go to PostGres
3. Does PostGres handle column descriptions (ie: you can give each column a
50 character description) and then access it via SQL Result Set (like I can
do in Sybase)
4. Is there any Date/TimeStamp issues and conversions I need to know about.
I use simply a DATE field and a TIME field - but do not use DATE/TIME stamp
fields together.
5. What UI/Developer tools (GUI) are available to manage the database as
well as add/change columns rather than doing it via SQL commands.
Thank you.
-Robert
