Converting Movable Type to use PostGreSQL instead of db3

It's as easy as a pie.

  • Install all postgresql related perl things (DBI::postgres to be exact)
  • Edit mt.cfg to include the DataSource AND the Database information
  • Run mt-db2sql.cgi
  • Remove datasource from your mt.cfg
  • Enjoy and post a message on your weblog that you just converted your weblog


So I did it ;) Db3 was acting kinda sluggish, and I had the need for postgres on my sun for some time now, so I did it :)
