[consulting] Database migration script or copy/paste?

[Holly Ferree]

Thanks. Anything would help. I love my development and design work, but find
the adding pages of content (esp. To large sites) a little monotonous. :)

And I have no problem doing the migration early in development (hopefully
the client will give the majority of content) before I add the CCK fields or
complex functionality to the site.
