Hey -borg- (or anyone),

I may have missed this in another thread, but are there plans for a v7.x MS SQL to v8.x MySQL conversion script?

*I've seen the thread on Access to MySQL.

Thanks....

Not at the moment as it would be an extremely difficult thing to do.

The reason is that many ID fields that connect topic subject, posts, author, etc. together use auto numbering.

This somehow needs to be overridden when transferring posts etc. from another database so that everything within the database corresponds to the correct data in another field.
