As you can see, I've successfully migrated my old, proprietary, DB-based blog entries
into the dasBlog, file-based form. I have to tell you... if not for VS.Net,
I doubt it'd be done today.
I exported from my blog_entries SQL table into XML format with a simple “SELECT
... FOR XML AUTO” statement, with results written to file. I generated
a strongly-typed dataset inside of Visual Studio.Net 2003 based on that XML file,
and wrote a quick, maybe 20 line console app to save out to dasBlog format, using
its Runtime component. Uploaded the files via FTP, restarted the app to clear
the cache, and here we are.
Yay for rapid development... it's getting to be near impossible to have any amoutn
of time to code anymore, with the wife getting more and more needing of attention
as the pregnancy goes on... January can't come soon enough.
