[consulting] Database migration script or copy/paste?

[Ben West]

There is a node import/export module, but it doesn't do well with complex
CCK fields.  That said, importing rows directly via SQL can also be tricky
for nodes with complex fields, since you would be importing more than just
entries in node and node_revision.

There are solutions for importing legacy (HTML) content into nodes.  Perhaps
one of these may be useful:
