As you can see from the multitude of archived posts,I have managed to migrate DasBlog posts (stored in XML files) to the CS 2.0 SQL Server data model. Let me outline the migration process.

1. Import the DasBlog XML files. I used SQL Server 2005 Integration Services to do this work.
   1. The package uses a For Each Loop container to iterate through the XML files (using the filespec ????-??-??.dayentry.xml).
   2. In that loop container, I placed a Data Flow Task which contains an XML Source, a Data Conversion, and a SQL Server Destination. At first, the import failed, but a little tweaking of the XML Source task using the Advanced Editor to set the source content to a data type of Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT].
   3. The final imported table had the following definition:
      

      CREATE TABLE dbo.DasBlogEntries(
            Content nvarchar(max) NULL,
            Created datetime NULL,
            Modified datetime NULL,
            EntryId nvarchar(255) NULL,
            Description nvarchar(255) NULL,
            Title nvarchar(255) NULL,
            Categories nvarchar(255) NULL,
            IsPublic bit NULL,
            ShowOnFrontPage bit NULL,
            Crossposts nvarchar(255) NULL,
            Entries_Id numeric(20, 0) NULL)

2. Clean the data. The next step was to create CS compatible data from the imported DasBlog data. I wrote a query that
   SELECT 
    identity(int, 10, 1) AS PostID, 0 AS ThreadID, 0 AS ParentID, 
    'Peter DeBetta' as PostAuthor, 
    2102 AS UserID, 5 AS SectionID, 1 as PostLevel, 
    1 AS [SortOrder], Title AS [Subject], Created AS [PostDate], 1 AS [IsApproved], 
    0 AS [IsLocked], 1 AS [IsIndexed], 1 AS [TotalViews],
    Content AS [Body], Content AS [FormattedBody], '69.15.196.116' AS [IPAddress], 
    1 AS [PostType], 0 AS [EmoticonID],
    'enableAllOwnerNotification:S:0:5:EnableRatings:S:5:4:EnableTrackBacks:S:9:4:
   enableCrossPosting:S:13:5:CommentModerationType:S:18:4:feedbackNotificationType:S:22:1:
   SpamScore:S:23:1:EverPublished:S:24:4:'
   -- These 3 previous lines should all be one in the final code.
   -- The are broken into 3 for nicer web display
      AS [PropertyNames],
    'FalseTrueTrueFalseNone00True' AS [PropertyValues], 1000 AS [SettingsID],
    0 AS [AggViews], 
    3 AS [PostConfiguration], NULL AS [PostName],
    GetDate() AS [UserTime], 1 AS [ApplicationPostType], 0 AS [Points], 
    0 AS [RatingSum], 0 AS [TotalRatings], GetDate() AS [PointsUpdated]
   INTO TempPost
   FROM dasblogimport..DasBlogEntries
3. Import the data into the CS database. I simply copied the data (the TempPost table)from my temporary database to the actual CS database.
4. Post the posts. Using a cursor, step through each post in the TempPost table and execute the cs_Post_CreateUpdate stored procedure for each post. The code for this final step is a bit lengthier, so I will attach the script instead of include it here. Keep in mind that I have some commented code and some oddball code that was for my own use for testing and to exclude a couple of posts.
   NOTE: I have been unable to attach the script and will post it as soon as I figure out what is going on...
