I have a database from a really old cold fusion messageboard (we're talking circa 2000).
Back then it was just a flat file system. A previous admin on a site I took over was able to convert the flat files to a sql database and then write some basic php code to display the data.
I'd like to convert this archive into a working database and get it into something modern. Mainly because I fear that with the changes in php and mysql, that this old site will be lost.
Let me know what your rates are, or if you'd like to try tackling this just for the challenge, even better. The database is roughly 250MB (uncompressed).
If you are willing to give it a go, I will provide you with a download link to the gzipped sql dump.
Thank You in advance.
