Programmer @ objetiva, November 2010 - Present (2 years 3 months)

Objetiva is a consulting company I co-founded. We help startups through their first cycles of product development or when their product has gone down the tube because someone made a mess. At this point we've frozen activities because both my co-founder and myself have burned out on the consulting business. I'm currently still working with one of our clients but it's more an on the side thing. http://www.objetiva.co/?locale=en

Migrating a Rails project from MySQL to PostgreSQL

This brief guide is written from my own experience with migrating a large (~5GB) MySQL database to PostgreSQL for a Rails project.

No warranties, guarantees, support etc. Use at your own risk and, as always, ENSURE YOU MAKE BACKUPS FIRST!

I chose [pgloader][1] because it's extremely fast. YMMV.

1. Replace mysql2 gem with pg in Gemfile.
2. Update config/database.yml for PostgreSQL. I used [Rails' template][2] as a starting point.
