Converting to Drupal

Hi,

Is there a straightforward way of connecting with MS Sql Server (SQL Server 2005) from Drupal?

The reason I want to do so is that I'm converting a large classic asp site to Drupal. There is a tremendous amount of back end code which accesses T-SQL stored procedures and has no user interface. If I could access query results generated from this code base I wouldn't have to recreate it in php. (or anything else)

Also, we do not have complete control over the data itself, so even if I decided to convert to MySQL I might NOT be able to get permission.

I want to migrate my site data using php. I have learned how to create a new node in drupal by using a php script. But how do i EDIT a node through programming? I couldn't find the required function for this in api.drupal.org
Plz help. Thnx.

I'm trying to make a directed graph of my website before I convert it (i.e., it would either show what pages link to what or at least make a site map). Does anyone know of a good tool that will do it?

Hello i am a drupal newbie. I need to make some changes to a drupal website. I have a pc running on windows 7 but have no access to any database backup for this site. I have finally managed to install drupal and everything seems to be working fine. My problem now is having the downloaded the site from the server, i need it to work with my drupal 6 installation.
Please note i have DO NOT HAVE ANY DATABASE BACKUP. Can anyone help me please. I'm quite desperate please.

Hi,
1st of all I want to thank you for your work, it's amazing!

sometime ago I moved from xoops (news, forum) with the Xoops import module, as I'm a beginner with php and MySQL, I lost forum posts (3 years posts), but kept the database hoping that one day I'd be able to understand it and import it.

Here and there I read about mysql and the drupal tools like Table Wizard, Scheme, etc.. tried them, but didn't get them to work with my tables.

I ended up setting a clone from the website on home pc, used Migrating from xoops guide to import forum, but I fail on the "Cleaning up / Statistics".

mysql> INSERT into history (uid, nid, timestamp) SELECT uid, nid, created FROM node;
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '1-533' for key 'PRIMARY'

mysql> INSERT into node_comment_statistics (nid, last_comment_timestamp, last_comment_name, last_comment_uid, comment_count) SELECT nid, created, '', '1', '0' FROM node;
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'
