That's about it for documentation. We encourage you to use our APIs to import data.
Also check out http://soetemansoftware.nl/cmsimport for an easy, UI-centric way of importing data. Richard has been building this tool for almost a decade now and will do everything right without you having to decipher the database schema.
Thanks Sebastiaan
I have been using the APIs - a massive learning curve (Umbraco people are clever).
I started with v4 on my PC but when I got a server to play with, changed everything for v7.
I also played with the (free version) of CMSImport when on v4 - it got me 500 records and was really useful in the early days of using Umbraco.
Our old CMS had a few customisations, which meant CMSImport didn't get everything (although I've since exported our data to a table that CMSImport can use). I agree, it is a great tool, and I've not discounted using it again.
Documentation on Umbraco tables
I've imported about 5000 records into Umbraco and can see some tables populated and others are not.
Having had a quick look, I can pretty much guess what each table is for, but is there any documentation?
PS: This link has been a great help, even though it is for an earlier version: http://blog.hendyracher.co.uk/umbraco-database-part-1/
