I do understand. It’s theory and the real doing. It is not that many posts that a migration script would make sense - if there is not already one available. For me it is far more time to work myself into all of this than doing this by hand. And as this forum is just a fun project with no money involved, I cannot invest in getting help.

Yeah, understood. And these few seconds, if seconds and not milliseconds, do not make a difference.
