I have installed drupal and have everything set up the way I would like it except that when i installed it i imported my taxonomy directly into MySQL in the term_data table. When I went to drupal admin page I looked for the taxonomy under the assigned vocabulary and the terms assigned to the vocabulary were not there, so then I went back checked the database in MySQL and everything appears to be perfect. Why isn't my taxonomy terms showing up in drupal? Is there anything I can do so that drupal will look at the database and recognize the taxonomy terms that are in it?
Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Maybe try the http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_xml or http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_csv modules-- i find trying to bypass the ui and go straight to the db, with few exceptions, is frequently problematic.
Thanks for your help and time.
So I figured it out it was pretty simple. I had tried those modules repeatedly with no success so I figured why not go straight to the source. Basically for drupal to recognize terms in the database there are two steps first import the information needed to the database and then goto term_parent and import what the parents are to the terms use a zero if there is not a parent after doing this simply go back to the vocabulary you inserted it to in Drupal and voila it works! =)
