# Transferring data to WP Database

 * I’m currently moving a client over to WordPress, using blog posts as various 
   different CMS-type of things. Essentially, one of those things are products (
   not for sale, no ecommerce).
 * Their current database has the following tables Category, Product, related product,
   etc etc.
 * I am trying to write a script that will take the .sql exported file of this database
   and place the data in a wordpress database, where I would like it (ie, a Product
   is a Blog Post and its tag is its manufacture). Is this something simple, ans
   if so, could you provide and example I could build off of?
 * Thanks so much!

 * Ah, it always seems to come back and bite me when I don’t take 5 minutes to search
   the Plugin Directory…
 * Thanks so much MichaelH! Its going to be a little work manipulating the data,
   but its easier than entering in everything again…by hand…
