I have a legacy Alpha server with a RDB database. This db is replicated in a MySQL db with many bad php scripts that drops all the tables and takes everything from the Alpha.

This works very slow and is becoming unmaintainable. Is there a better way to fix this than programming again the scripts? Anything like MySQL Migration Toolkit?

  • This may be more applicable for serverfault as it is about RDBMS migration. Stackoverflow is mostly for programming questions and Serverfault for system administration questions. There is a logo in the footer to get there. – Jeremy French Aug 27 '09 at 13:00
  • I searched about openvms at both sites and I founded more results here. It's a question that I think can be in both sites cause it's programming and server related. – jcasalruiz Aug 27 '09 at 13:56

MySQL has been ported to OpenVMS/Alpha. If you could migrate your applications to use MySQL on the Alpha, then you could use MySQL's built-in replication.

This wiki page has installation instructions and download links.

  • This may be a good idea but I have no experience with OpenVMS and no support from the people who has mantained this for twenty years. – jcasalruiz Sep 21 '09 at 17:36
  • @polyphony: I started in excactly the same situation with regards to MySQL on OpenVMS, no internal support, etc. All I can say is good luck. I added a link that will come in handy if you decide to go this route. – Travis Beale Sep 21 '09 at 19:17
