Hi Arun,

Before I discovered GNU Health, I wrote a simple PHP-MySQL system to
record patient name, age, occupation, address, mobile no, and a few
other details.

Now, I wish to migrate to GNU Health, and import the data from my
earlier system into GNU Health. What would be the best way to do it?
Do I directly copy records into the database or is there some high
level Tryton way of doing it?

I recommend using scripts with `proteus` [1].

Also, I would like to retain the patient IDs from the earlier system.
How do I do that? I understand that from the Tryton client, the
patient ID is generated by the GNU Health system and is readonly.

Yes, proteus seems to be just what I am looking for...

Thank you, Bruno!
