I tried the advice in the Wiki to move from mysql to postgres, and it 
seemed OK on 3.2 but when I did the 3.4.1 upgrade the postgres database 
broke.  3.4.1 worked fine on the mysql database.  I never figured out 
why that happened.

I thought I heard once here that someone had a tool to serialize RT 
data into a database-agnotic form (using the RT API, not SQL dumps) 
which would seem perfect, but I haven't been able to find it.
