Is there an easy way to migrate data from an existing phpBB2 Plus 1.53 database?

Thanks

Sure, some tables might have changed (one that I know of is that there is no entry for Karma in the RavenNuke Ver10.01.02).

Depending on how large your database tables are for various parts of the forums like bbposts, bbposts_text, bbprivmsg, etc. You might have to break your query up into several smaller pieces but it will work. Table bbsearch_wordmatch is usually on of the largest tables.

If you have to delete a column in a table (like Karma mentioned above) then you might need to read up on the mysql commands to do so.
