Hi, Anyone got any cool tricks for converting a Rails site (in this case, a typo installation) from a mysql database to a postgresql database? I''ve got it almost working -- I''m doing a SQL dump from mysql and loading it into postgres. However, mysql does booleans as a tinyint with 0 = false and 1 = true. When I try to import that into a postgres database that expects booleans

So if you want to export all your data from your production server into your development environment, this will simplify the process without having to load up your database manager.

...ed that it''s a whole lot easier to do functinoal testing than writing the traditional rails functional tests. However it implies that the development database consists of standardized test data (e.g the test & dev database should have the same data). This could be achieved via the ar_fixture''s extension to AR. Is this how people are using selenium?

Altogether there are about 100 tables and about

Sorry about the very long email, but this is a hairy topic that''s been annoying me for some time and I decided to try to do something about.
