I think we need more detailed instructions for moving data from an existing DB to a new DB. I've just added the MySQL instructions and a glimpse of Oracle (just use exp and imp), I have no worked on in other databases to put some instructions. Eventually anyone that have used PosgreSQL or any other RDBMS could add the instructions (or just drop me a line and I can add it to the wiki) The exporter would be the best way to do that but importing a large XAR doesn't work either when the memory is not large enough so import at the DB level is required anyway for some large XWiki installs.
The problem with this comes from XWiki having code at the page level, so if we make a bulk copy (as in the instructive) not a complete upgrade is made. My feeling is to let both migration path coexist so that anyone can choose which one to use (I'm not sure this is a good idea, but in the meantime the database copy is left into the migration path) -- Víctor A.
