 * hello,
 * is there a plugin to import a database dump of a stand-alone blog into a network
   blog?
 * there are some tutorials on the net, but they aren´t really user-friendly … especially
   as there are many multisite-specific characteristics which could actually be 
   done best by an automatism (table names, user ids etc.)
 * would be great if someone could help me here or who leave a tip! actually this
   would be a VERY USEFUL plugin …

 * No, there isn’t one. Partly becasue the blog tables are.. uh.. .blog specific,
   and the associated user tables are global.
 * What exactly are you trying to do? Usually the Exporter gets everything, including
   users.

 * actually i have a sql-dump of a stand-alone blog that should be importet into
   a blog-network.
 * i found a [tutorial](http://bavatuesdays.com/importing-a-single-wp-blog-to-a-wpmu-installation/),
   that describes the suggested way very well, at least as well as this [one](http://sillybean.net/wordpress/migrating-single-wordpress-installations-into-multisite-networks/).
   as i am running a site with many users, the method importing existing users a
   described in method 2 isn´t very usable i think …

 * Both of those are fine -I’d go with the latter as it’s more recent.
