I am migrating from a Dot Net Nuke site that has close to a thousand articles and about 1800 users. Is there any documentation on the MySQL schema to help me make sure I do not forget to properly set up foreign keys, etc on my import function ???

workaround to import your data into Joomla:
  • Create a Joomla website with a couple of articles
  • In phpMyAdmin: Export the data of @__content table as OpenDocument Spreadsheet / CSV for MS Excel (check the option: Put columns names in the first row!)
  • Do the same for your DotNetNuke arcticles
  • Merge the data from the DotNetNuke spreadsheet with Joomla's data.
  • Any missing columns? Just copy some of Joomla's data from the first row to all the empty cells in the same column.
  • remove top row(s) so that the spreadsheet only contains your data & Export as CSV
  • In phpMyAdmin: Import the CSV data into your database.

Regarding your users:
Joomla 2.5 uses 2 tables: #__users and #__user_usergroup_map

OK. Thanks.

Just to confirm, then, on import, MySql will take care of assigning unique object IDs to each row. Right?

Thanks for the insight.
