== HISTORY ==
|
||||
|
||||
+pgloader+ has first been a +tcl+ tool written by Christopher
|
||||
Kings-Lynne and Jan Wieck, and then maintained by Jean-Paul
|
||||
Argudo. When it became clear it would be easier to rewrite it in
|
||||
another language than to properly learn +tcl+ and add to the project
|
||||
missing options, +pgloader+ was rewritten in python by Dimitri
|
||||
Fontaine.
|
||||
+pgloader+ has first been a +tcl+ tool written by Jan Wieck and
|
||||
released by Christopher Kings-Lynne, who created the
|
||||
http://pgfoundry.org[pgfoundry] project for it to be published. Later
|
||||
on, Jean-Paul Argudo took over the maintenance. When it became clear
|
||||
that it would be easier to rewrite it in another language than to
|
||||
properly learn +tcl+ and develop some missing options, +pgloader+ was
|
||||
rewritten in python by Dimitri Fontaine.
|
||||
|
||||
+pgloader+ was rewritten to act as an Informix to PostgreSQL migration
|
||||
helper which imported Informix large objects directly into a
|
||||
PostgreSQL database.
|
||||
|
||||
Then as we got some data we couldn't file tools to care about, we
|
||||
decided ifx_blob would become +pgloader+, as it had to be able to
|
||||
decided +ifx_blob+ would become +pgloader+, as it had to be able to
|
||||
import all Informix +UNLOAD+ data. Those data contains escaped
|
||||
separator into unquoted data field and multi-lines fields (+\r+ and
|
||||
+\n+ are not escaped).
|
||||
|
||||
+pgloader+ has since gained some more features allowing it to directly
|
||||
import +mysqldump -T+ data, and is known to be used in production
|
||||
environments where a +PostgreSQL+ database is used for reporting
|
||||
against data from several servers running different RDBMS softwares.
