Damon Williams	Tuesday 13 December 2005 11:47:08 am I am considering using eZ Publish for a community site that I must build. Our existing site has ~300,000 existing members. I do not want these members to have to re-register. Is it possible to pre-populate the eZ Publish database with our existing user data? I would be using the Oracle extension.
