I see. It’s mapping phpbb post/topic id’s with Discourse post/topic id’s

This one seems to be a good example to import `accepted answers` [discourse/script/import\_scripts/lithium.rb at 44f7a61c2c5b6f248a62ab7f987ebbd3091c71ef · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/44f7a61c2c5b6f248a62ab7f987ebbd3091c71ef/script/import_scripts/lithium.rb#L618)

But If I understood correctly, as a first step I would need to store/import the `phpbb_topics.topic_solved` value into `postgres`. right?
