I was able to get a successful import. I changed the max_allowed_packet to 16 meg in the my.ini. I also changed the table creation script to make the post_body, and post_default_body mediumtext to handle these whopping posts (it wasn't the first, and it won't be the last.) I chose to do it there as I've been dropping all the tables, recreating everything, and re-importing, and will be doing so at least one more time when I cut over from the classic to the threads.
But, it definitely looks like the worst part is over (wait... that's not true, the users coming forth with their "but this has changed" will probably be the worst part
)
I definitely appreciate the assistance!
