I chuckled when he installed MySQL just to dump the files to CSV to put it in PostgreSQL.

I thought it was the cleanest way to go about it. I didn't want all the data, just some of it. What would you have done? I spent a long time trying to find the best way to convert a MySQL dump to PostgreSQL but ultimately decided upon going the CSV route.

Just funny that MySQL couldn't cut it.
