+<h3>Importing from another database</h3>
+
+<p>Migrate can import data from another database into the default Drupal database.
+To set up a connection to an external database, see "External Tables" on the 
+<a href="http://drupal.org/node/452374">Table Wizard documentation page</a>. Make 
+sure that both database connections use the same user names and passwords; otherwise, 
+MySQL will produce errors on certain queries. If the default database user does not 
+have access to the external database, grant the 'select' privilege:</p>
+
+<pre>
+  GRANT SELECT ON `external_db`.* TO 'default_db_user'@'localhost';
