 * I have a project coming up that will mean moving data from one site (SQL Server
   DB) to WordPress. The data in question is primarily pages and blog posts.
 * I’m going to export all the data to a CSV file and then use WP Ultimate CSV Importer
   Plugin to map the data to WordPress fields and custom fields.
 * I know some data types in SQL Server and MySQL are different, is there anything
   else I should be considering here?
 * I’ve only done a data migration once before between 2 mySQL databases, so i hope
   i’m not in over my head 🙂
 * Thanks for any tips.
