[Koha] Proprietary database import

[Damien Davis]

I have been given the task of migrating a SydneyPlus library database into 
a fresh koha install. Unfortunately this proprietary vendor doesn't make a 
smooth transitioning tool available so I'm wondering what the best way to 
go about this would be. I'm not very versed in Mysql and so far my only two 
clear ideas involve using a script to crawl the web pages of the current 
database to gather the information or to export the Mysql database table by 
table. I really don't know if either of those two things are viable and 
someone mentioned that I might be able to automatically generate the 
information from other libraries using a Z39.50 client but I'm not sure 
about that either. The library has eight thousand books. I appreciate any 
insight you guys can give me on this.
