How can I migrate Stack Overflow data into Discourse?

Hey so I’m looking to do a similar thing so I’ll wait for a more informed answer but I did find this:

script/import_scripts/stack_overflow.rb

main

# frozen_string_literal: true

# cf. https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/tiny_tds#install
require "tiny_tds"
require_relative "base"

class ImportScripts::StackOverflow < ImportScripts::Base
  BATCH_SIZE = 1000

  def initialize
    super

    @client =
      TinyTds::Client.new(
        host: ENV["DB_HOST"],
        username: ENV["DB_USERNAME"],
        password: ENV["DB_PASSWORD"],
        database: ENV["DB_NAME"],
      )
  end

This file has been truncated. show original

This seems to suggest there is a way, would be great to get some comment on how to use it.
