Switching to NWNX/mySQL - Converting Data

[FunkySwerve]

I'm currently running a PW with MANY logins per day, with a default Bioware database extending back to 1/15/05 or so. I would like to convert the data for use with NWNX, but have no idea where to begin. Is there a tutorial covering this that I've missed? If not, could someone please give an overview of the process?
Thanks,
Funky

Ok, I found the following in the aps_include file, it seems to suggest how one might go about making the switch:
[nwscript]
string GetPersistentString(object oObject, string sVarName, string sTable = "pwdata")
{
string sPlayer;
string sTag;

if (GetIsPC(oObject))
{
sPlayer = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(GetPCPlayerName(oObject));
sTag = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(GetName(oObject));
}
else
{
sPlayer = "~";
sTag = GetTag(oObject);
}

sVarName = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(sVarName);

string sSQL = "SELECT val FROM " + sTable + " WHERE player='" + sPlayer +
"' AND tag='" + sTag + "' AND name='" + sVarName + "'";
SQLExecDirect(sSQL);

if (SQLFetch() == SQL_SUCCESS)
return SQLDecodeSpecialChars(SQLGetData(1));
else
{
return "";
// If you want to convert your existing persistent data to APS, this
// would be the place to do it. The requested variable was not found
// in the database, you should
// 1) query it's value using your existing persistence functions
// 2) save the value to the database using SetPersistentString()
// 3) return the string value here.
}
}
[/nwscript]
I'm wondering if this could be used, onstartup for instance, to start sifting through database entries one at a time and converting them to SQL entries. Has anyone done something like this before?

Also, I noticed that the tutorial suggested one could just sub out one custom database command for another bt renaming the SQL commands. Am I correct in assuming that this would not work for the bioware defrault database? For instance, could I just rename the SetPersistentInt to SetCampaignInt in the include?
Thanks again,
Funky
