MySQL-PostgreSQL Sync

Working with multiple database servers at the same time might require you to make an extra effort to keep the databases in sync. While there are various ways to do this, there are dedicated applications that can carry out the task, some very easy to use. One example is MySQL-PostgreSQL Sync.

This particular application can facilitate the synchronization between MySQL, MariaDB or Percona and PostgreSQL databases, regardless of their versions. The only requirement is that the source and the target databases have to contain tables with equivalent structures for the synchronization to take place.

MySQL-PostgreSQL Sync is a wizard-based application, which makes it quite easy to work with. In fact, running the synchronization is practically a matter of a few clicks, if not for the one-time task of entering the connection details for each database server.

The synchronization can be performed both ways: either from MySQL to PostgreSQL or viceversa. Once you choose which is the source and which is the destination database, you can proceed to the next step, which requires you to provide the login details for the server connections. The application allows both local and remote connections for MySQL.

In the following steps, you need to provide the name of the databases for each server. There are drop-down lists that contain all the databases, so this is an easy operation. Logging is possible, but you can also skip it if that is what you wish to do.

It is advisable you perform a full synchronization in the first run, but keep in mind that you can also perform a quicker synchronization by deleting rows in the source table. A confirmation message is shown once the task is completed.

MySQL-PostgreSQL Sync is a simple application to sync two databases. Thanks to its wizard-based approach, connecting to the database and running the synchronization becomes a matter of a few clicks.
