Before you start

So I'm helping out on a project to rewrite an old web site.
The data is in MySQL
They want to move the data into Drupal and build the new site in Drupal

The MySQL database has many tables that have 1-to-many relationships

I know next to nothing about Drupal but have been reading documentation like crazy over the last couple days.

Lets take the simple example of a Band and it's Locations (yeah bands can move)
In the existing MySQL database there is a Band table, Location table (has unique Regions, Countries and states/provinces)
There is a relationship table that relates Band to Location so the Band -> Location is a 1-to-Many

I understand the basics of Content Types and Nodes and now how you'd relate 2 Nodes of different content types using the Views Module and Views Attachment. Perfect!

now the BIG question...
I've been looking into the Feeds module (and the Migrate module) to try and figure out how to get all this data from MySQL into Drupal

I think I could fairly easily use the Feeds module after exporting the data from MySQL to CSV files
but how to I keep the 1-to-Many relationships???

If I export/import the band table and the location table I have a big list of bands (and details) and a very clean list of unique countries with their states/provinces. But not the relationship, it's stored in the relationship table.

Hi guys and gals

I'm trying to build a freelance website (like freelancer.com or odesk.com) on Drupal.

Are there any good extensions for that specifically or?

Cheers

Hi,

I am looking for a CMS that I can use to build an online community. Two of the main features I'm looking for are:
- Multiple separate communities of which a user can be a member
- Within a community users should be able to swap items with each other (no money involved, just swapping). The backend should gather all items that all users put up for trade and display it and make it searchable for all other users

I need to create a web application with following requirement. A little guidance is all I need to create this using Drupal.

I am new to Drupal. Just wanted to know if I can use Drupal CMS from my existing site.
Below are my questions. It would be great if somebody can help me out with this. Please let me know if this is possible, if yes, some examples of code.
