:: 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.
