[TYPO3-dev] PostgreSQL native drive for TYPO3 status update... and question about : 102: These fields are not properly

[ries van Twisk]

Hey Moreno,

At the current stage no unless you are willing to change some code..
Since to migration tool doesn't have a UI yet. However this is easy  
to add.

it has only been quickly tested at core at the current stage, no  
extensions
what so ever... just an Hello World on the screen with a default  
template.
I also have seen a couple of small 'bugs' in the BE, but they are no  
roadblock,
that means adding content elements and RTE works fine.

it would be nice if we can combine forces and make a Mysql -> PG and  
a MySQL -> Oracle
migration tool from the typo3's BE. This should be easy to do if we  
do it quick and dirty..
