Try the current XML-format dumps; you can then import them in whatever
format you please. :)
I have tried two utilities I found "out
there", mysql2pgsql.perl and my2pg.pl,
and neither seems to able to convert Wp dumps correctly. Since mediawiki 1.5
will be postgres-enabled, I hope someone has figured out a way to do this
already. Am I right?
MediaWiki 1.5 will not work with PostgreSQL, as no one has maintained
the PostgreSQL support code. A future version might work again some day,
should anyone be interested in supporting it.
