Get/Set settings

SELECT name, setting FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'random_page_cost';
SET random_page_cost = 1.0;

 

Database exports and dumps

# Dump from MySQl
mysqldump --compatible=postgresql --default-character-set=utf8 -r databasename.mysql -u root databasename

# Dump specific table
sudo -u postgres pg_dump -t radcheck radius  > radcheck.sql

# Dump as INSERT statements, without the table schema
sudo -u postgres pg_dump --column-inserts -a -t radcheck radius | less

Convert the MySQL dumps to PostgreSQL compatable INSERTs

# This gives data as follows...
#INSERT INTO radcheck VALUES (15,'user1@realm.net','Password','==','pass1');
#INSERT INTO radcheck VALUES (14,'user2@realm.net','Password','==','pass2');
# It needs to be as follows...
#INSERT INTO radcheck (id, username, attribute, op, value) VALUES (72, 'user1@realm.net', 'Cleartext-Password', ':=', 'pass1');
#INSERT INTO radcheck (id, username, attribute, op, value) VALUES (74, 'user2@realm.net', 'Cleartext-Password', ':=', 'pass2');

grep "INSERT" ../mysql_export/radcheck.sql | sed -r "s/INSERT INTO radcheck/INSERT INTO radcheck \(username, attribute, op, value\)/g" | sed -r "s/Password/Cleartext-Password/g" | sed -r "s/==/:=/g" | awk -F',' 'BEGIN{OFS=",";} {print $1, $2, $3 ", value) VALUES (" $5, $6, $7, $8;}' | less

# Produces...
#INSERT INTO radcheck (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('user1@realm.net','Cleartext-Password',':=','pass1');
#INSERT INTO radcheck (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('user2@realm.net','Cleartext-Password',':=','pass2');

# Generate table 'userinfo' data from usernames in radcheck table
grep "INSERT" ../mysql_export/radcheck.sql | awk -F"'" '{print "INSERT INTO userinfo (username, name, mail, department, workphone, homephone, mobile) VALUES ('"'"'" $2 "'"'"', '"'"''"'"', '"'"''"'"', '"'"''"'"', '"'"''"'"', '"'"''"'"', '"'"''"'"');"}' | less
# Gives output
INSERT INTO userinfo (username, name, mail, department, workphone, homephone, mobile) VALUES ('user1@realm.net', '', '', '', '', '', '');

# Generate entries for radusergroup for user to group affinity
grep "INSERT" ../mysql_export/usergroup.sql | sed -r "s/INSERT INTO usergroup VALUES \(/INSERT INTO radusergroup \(username, groupname, priority\) VALUES \('/g" | awk -F"'" '{print $1 "'"'"'" $3 "'"'"'" ", " "'"'"'" $5 "'"'"'" ", 0);";}' | less

# Give the output
INSERT INTO radusergroup (username, groupname, priority) VALUES ('user1@realm1.net', 'group1', 0);
INSERT INTO radusergroup (username, groupname, priority) VALUES ('user1@realm2.net', 'group2', 0);

# Generate the radreply per-user attributes for RADIUS
grep "INSERT" ../mysql_export/radreply.sql | sed -r "s/INSERT INTO radreply VALUES \(/INSERT INTO radreply \(username, attribute, op, value\) VALUES \('/g" | awk -F"'" '{print $1 "'"'"'" $3 "'"'"'" ", " "'"'"'" $5 "'"'"'" ", " "'"'"'" $7 "'"'"'" ", " "'"'"'" $9 "'"'"'" ");";}' > radreply.sql

# Produces output like
INSERT INTO radreply (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('user1@realm.net', 'Framed-IP-Address', '=', '10.253.5.7');
INSERT INTO radreply (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('user2@realm.net', 'Framed-IP-Address', '=', '10.253.5.6');
