Importing Messageboard from Microsoft SQL (no replies)

Hey all!

I have a messageboard that has a Microsoft SQL 2000 database, and I am bringing that into vBulletin, which is MySQL.

The problem I am having is bringing in thread titles.

The MSSQL and MySQL columns are both varchar(250), when I use SQLyog to import "Subject" from cs_Posts into the "title" column of the "thread" table, it says it completes successfully but when I go into the data, the entire thread column is blank, as of nothing imported at all.

I exported to a CSV next, then used the Import utility in SQL to bring in the CSV file to the "title" column to get my thread titles imported, but the issue I am having now, is it imports, but it appears to create new rows, not update existing.

I want to update the existing rows starting with the first one and match the CSV to the rows from top to bottom.

All the job does that I am running from a third party utility (SQLyog) is add rows, not use the CSV data to fill the existing rows.
