Bye bye Berkeley DB

Readers won’t notice this much, though comments should run a little better, but I finally managed to shift all the entries into a new installation of MT, this time with a MySQL database.

I had tried an upgrade a few times before, but there were too many entries and the process would be killed before all the entries converted. So I did an export, and removed all the 1999-2001 entries (which I’ll later add in a separate weblog). I did a fresh install of MT and everything’s running smoothly now – posting is quicker, though the category archives still slow things down enormously. I hope that is something that is seen to in MT 3.0.

… all finished just in time for the MetaFilter meet in Amsterdam.
