Hello, Im wondering if there's any utility out there I can use to import my existing database table to Drupal schema other than re-entering thousands of records ?

ahhh, i read incorrectly. I incorrectly read from drupal to drupal. not from other DB to drupal. No idea how you will do that with a database that isn't already drupal.

Sounds like a huge headache haha... I think im gonna work study first how drupal saves CCK fields and how they relate to the nodes they were created for and then do a script that will replicate the structure of that table/s..

Thanks!

if you know how to convert your data to csv, then node_import can work for you.
