Source data type [geometry] not supported

Question

I am using Navicat Premium to Migrate my Data from Postgresql to Mysql.

I am facing a strang error while migration. It says that Migration is not possible due to Geometry object not available.

I am pasting the logs here..

[Msg] [Dtf] DataTransfer started
[Msg] [Dtf] Getting tables properties
[Msg] [Dtf] Getting tables fields
[Msg] [Dtf] Getting tables constraints
[Msg] [Dtf] Getting tables indexes
[Msg] [Dtf] Getting total records count
[Msg] [Dtf] Drop table: `geom_data`
[Err] [Dtf] 80120001: Source data type [geometry] not supported
[Err] [Dtf] Finished - Unsuccessfully
--------------------------------------------------

What could be the problem.. Can I migrate Postgresql Spatial data to MySql?? Any alternative? Any way out??

Answer 1

The Task can be done through SQLyog's data Migration wizard.

SQLYog-->Powertools-->Import External Data-->Start A new Job-->

• After that select Any ODBC Source from the radio Buttons
• Select File DSN---> Create a New DSN--File Data Source-->PostgreSQL Unicode
• Click Next and save the file anywhere. eg abc.dsn
• Click next and enter postgresql details and click finish
• Enter the MySql database details you wanna copy your data into.
• You are ready to go.

Hope it helps.!

Note: If Postgresql contains geometrical data, please make sure that you are using MyISAM as the database engine in MySql. Also remove indexing on any geometrical element before copying.
