Exchanging the database backend

Hello,
during a server switch, a client wants to use Oracle on the new server
instead of MySQL. Is this feasible/possible using tools like mysql2ora
et.al.? Or should we forget about it, finish the current project on the
old system and start with a fresh install?

Thanks,
Harald

I tried the advice in the Wiki to move from mysql to postgres, and it
seemed OK on 3.2 but when I did the 3.4.1 upgrade the postgres database
broke. 3.4.1 worked fine on the mysql database. I never figured out
why that happened.

I thought I heard once here that someone had a tool to serialize RT
data into a database-agnotic form (using the RT API, not SQL dumps)
which would seem perfect, but I haven’t been able to find it.
