IMH and not expert opinion I would (because I did so with some personnal 
datas) install a new  1.2.3 instance (using the sql dump) and run the 
upgrade with it.

Be really carefull with setting the MARC parameters because the job is 
very long and some of your datas may be lost if you don't match  
correctly MARC structure and KOHA structure  before you run 
updatedb2marc.pl.

When you  finished  setting MARC structure you should save it  (2 tables 
: marc_tag_structure and marc_subfield_structure) in order to be able to 
start again the all process without suffering once again.
