As somebody who did this sort of thing in my working days, I will second 
what Stephen just said. Leave it to the pros. It is very easy to get 
this sort of thing wrong << I'd be the person they'd ask "Mike, can you 
write something to convert the database instead of having a dozen 
workers sit at their terminal for a couple weeks re-entering the 
corrected data?" >>  It wasn't the sort of thing even the average 
programmer in the shop could be trusted to get right.
