: File to configure: ''PostgreSQLSchemaManager.java'':: 1- DATA TYPE: data types are changed in '''''<code> appendColumnType() </code>''''' based on each jdbc type's equivalent in PostgreSQL. :::*[http://db.apache.org/ddlutils/databases/postgresql.html mapping JDBC data types to PostgreSQL data types]:::*[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Converting_MySQL_to_PostgreSQL#Data_Types comparison between Postgre and MySQL data types] :: 2- STORAGE ENGINE: In MySQL, the storage engine is set to a transactional safe engine such as [http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL#MySQL:InnoDB InnoDB], whereas PostgreSQL has a single built in engine. So, implementation of '''''<code> appendTableSuffix() </code>''''' in PostgreSQLManager.java was removed:: 3- CHARACTER SET: In MySQL, the character set should be defined when creating a table. Whereas in PostgreSQL when a database is created, the character set is set to 'UTF8' by default. :: 4- AUTO INCREMENT: PostgreSQL doesn't support 'auto_increment' as some other databases for a unique identifier column. There are two ways around this, 1- To create a 'sequence', 2- Use SERIAL, which is a macro around 'sequence'. SERIAL is an 'integer' and a 'sequence, with the column default to the sequences next value. As of postgreSQL 7.3, to make a serial column unique, it should be specified as a unique constraint or a primary key.

::The implementation in '''''<code> crateTextTable () </code>''''' is removed for now (base class's version is being called).:TODO To be checked if it's the case for PostgreSQL as well. 

:The implementation in '''''<code> createIndex() </code>''''' is removed for now (base class's version is being called).:TODO To be checked if it's the case for PostgreSQL as well.:Note- If there was a complain for duplicate index name, a fully qualified name can be used. Just note that PostgreSQL doesn't like fully qualified name as <code>table.indexname</code> for indexes or triggers, instead a '_' can be used: <code>table_indexname</code> * <code> <u>CREATE Trigger</u> <// code>:TODO To be checked if it's triggers are needed for PostgreSQL as well as MySQL. It's not an abstract method in '''''SQLSchemaManager.java'''''.: <code>'''''createTrigger()'''''</code> is added to '''''MySQLSchemaManager.java''''' ===UPDGRADING SCHEMA===* List of Files needed to be modified :src - [[ PostgreSQL_Adapter-nexj/SchemaManger | PostgreSQLSchemaManager.java ]] --- ([[SchemaBackup]]) // Extends SQLSchemaManager.java - class for reading, creating and upgrading the database schema: [[ PostgreSQL_Adapter-nexj/Upgrade | main.upgrade ]]: test- [[ PostgreSQL_Adapter-nexj/SchemaMangerTest | PostgreSQLSchemaManagerTest.java]] // Extends SQLSchemaManagerTest.java: Script - postgresql_drop.sql * <u><code> DROP TABLE </code></u> * <u><code> INSERT INTO TABLE </code></u> * <u><code> ALTER TABLE </code></u>
