Re: Migration from files to DBXML

Look at importData.py. It accesses the DBXML database directly. It's 
designed to take a single XML file containing all the records and an 
XPath that is used to separate the file into individual records. You 
could make a /node() request through Syncato on the file database and 
store it into a single file with something like wget and then split it 
up again with /results/node(). Make sure nothing else has the DBXML 
database open when you do this.
