PostgreSQL data comparsion tool - postgresql

I am looking for a tool/command which can compare data between two PostgreSQL databases. The reason to do this is to have some external verification that the SQL script responsible for data migration from one PostgreSQL database to the other have been written correctly.
Any pointers would be appreciated
regards
Sameer

EMS makes a tool which can do this.

The PostgreSQL site has a nice Software catalogue. Peruse the Administration/development tools category.

Postgresql tuning to be used as DatawareHouse

I am assembling a Business Intelligence solution using the Pentaho software as a BI engine. Within this solution, I had to set up a requirements for a PostgreSQL database server.
The current situation is very easy, since no ETL process is being carried out for data extraction, so the PostgreSQL configuration has not changed it much, and it is practically as it is configured as "factory".
I would like to know what Postgres configuration parameters have to be touched and modified to optimize it as a Datawarehouse. I have seen a lot of documentation, but it is not clear to me at all, since one documentation says that such values have to be modified, and other documentation, other completely different values.
I would like to know just that, if there is a clearer and more precise documentation to optimize a postgres 9.6 to be used as a Pentaho DW.
Thank you very much

Data virtualization with SQL Server DB using Marklogic

I would like to use data from a SQL Server database in Marklogic without moving it physically. I have read about data virtualization in Marklogic but cannot get any example or documentation explaining how to go about it. Please point me to any reference that may help me.
I have already tried reading data using MLSAM. Is this the only way and is this virtualization?
MarkLogic introduced the concept of Views to allow data visualization tools to connect to MarkLogic through ODBC, executing SQL against MarkLogic. These views are fed from XML content within MarkLogic through range indexes. So, I think that is the other way around for what you are looking for. In general, MarkLogic will need data inside its own databases, to allow indexing it.
MLSAM can be a way to pull such data in, executing SQL statements from within XQuery against external sources (contrary to xdmp:sql, which runs against the Views inside MarkLogic). Tools like RecordLoader, XQsync, and XMLSh might be worth looking at as well. See

HTH!

How to migrate database from SAP DB to PostGres?

Any idea how to go about doing that through a tool(preferred). Any alternate ways to do that.
You can check out the migration studio from EnterpriseDB here, although I have no experience with it.
There is no comparison to doing it yourself though - if you're not familiar with Postgres then this will get you familiar, and if you are, then aside from the data entry aspect, this should be old hat.
Use maxdb tools to generate a SQL text export of the database. Then import this file in PostgreSQL, luckily you won't need prior processing of the data dump.

How to create and compile procedures in IBM db2

I am new to db2. I have written procedures in oracle.
I need to convert those procedures from oracle to db2.
I want to know how the procedures in db2 will be created and compiled.
Thanks in advance.
A good walkthrough can be found here.
But then you always have the redbooks that IBM puts out such as this or this.
It is worth pointing out this migration tool that you might find useful.
