Does anyone know if it is possible to take specific posts/threads from database1 and import them in to database2?

For example, lets say i have a board with 5 individual forums.

Can i take ONLY threads/posts from forumid=1 and import that information in to another forums SQL database?

You could try using ImpEx for this:
1. Import from Board A to a temporary board
2. Remove unwanted forums/posts from temp board
3. Import from Temp board to board B

Marco,

Thanks for the unfortunately, i dont think this is going to be an option due to having over 100,000 posts on the database i want to prune the threads/posts from.

Ill give it a go though to see if it will work for what i need

On the off-chance this doesnt work, do you know if it is possible to manually download the SQL tables and decompile the data contained within them?

ImpEx will work for you.

Yes you could manually copy tables over, but it is a more complicated job then most people realize.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
