[development] How do you create content for story by updating the database directly (what tables need to be updated?) instead of using the Drupal web application?

[Dipen]

You should look at Feeds module to bulk import nodes into your system, for
that to happen you will need to prepare your input either in CSV, tabbed
file etc.

Link to feeds module - http://drupal.org/project/feeds

Note there are many modules which can help you with bulk import like migrate
and tablewizard - http://drupal.org/project/migrate (Though I haven't used
migrate and tw and recently got to know abt them) and I am sure there are
few others, also doing a SQL import is error prone so try and use the
cleaner approach for the import.

Cheers
Dipen
