Decided to use the taxonomy instead of cck for certain things, and obviously open 800+ nodes isn't particularly efficient.

First, it would be great if there is a Drupal module which does this can do this (didn't find one).

Second, how easy is it to go into the MySQL database (hopefully using phpmyadmin) to copy. Can you point me to a tutorial? I'm a newbie...

Third, if it's beyond a newbie's ability, is there someone will take to take on the job?

Thanks!

Are you asking if you can convert certain CCK fields to taxonomy terms?

Yes. Need to use change certain cck terms to taxonomy terms (mainly the region and countries - for google maps and a few other things).

For Google maps,the location module might be a good choice since it can take an address and determine the latitude/longitude of the place.

the http://drupal.org/project/content_taxonomy module is a great way to go back and forth between cck and taxonomy and it works with the hierarchical_select module.

No, ended up going in a creating a hierarchical taxonomy by hand. Needed to solve it and grunt work is sometimes the only way to 'know' for sure if somethings gonna work.
