I am in need of a programmer to convert a PostgreSQL script to run off of MySQL.

The script I would like converted to run off of MySQL is a GPL script. It should be fairly easy and take no more than a couple days max for an experienced programmer. Details of the transaction would need to be laid out front before the work is to begin to know how the transaction will take place.

It is only one file and you can locate it below:

Please PM me a quote of how long it will take and how much $ to convert it. If you don't have time or can't meet deadlines please do not respond to this post. I have already wasted several weeks and two programmers who either don't respond or can not meet deadlines THEY set.

Hi jdk,

Why are you converting from PostgreSQL to MySQL? :)

Because my server doesn't support PostgreSQL. Please keep in mind the above script is a GPL script and I do not currently run the site the PostgreSQL version is on now.

WARNING: porting Dopewars to MySQL is non-trivial since it uses row-level
locking (select ... for update) which is not implemented in MySQL.



keep that in mind.

Feel free to contact me.
Thanks

keep that in mind.

Thanks then the new programmer will need to find a way to convert the script using another method. This is why I am seeking assistance. Thanks for your input.

mysql does support row-level locking with innodb engine (and indexes)

Because my server doesn't support PostgreSQL. Please keep in mind the above script is a GPL script and I do not currently run the site the PostgreSQL version is on now.

Somehow I think it would be easier to install PostgreSQL than it would be to try to rewrite the script into MySQL. ;)

How about not post in the thread if you are not interested in the position? This is not a discussion thread. Easier for you yes, but for an experienced programming it should be no problem. I have no problems paying top dollar for it being done and done correctly.

Are you still looking for this work get done?
