Script to import data from the Merlin ILS and insert it into Growlin. Currently works with the MongoDB version only.

To import data, you will need to have the mdbtools packange installed on your system to run the first part of this script. Once installed, copy the Merlin backup .mdb file, eg. merlout.mdb, and run the following in a terminal:

$ python AccessDump.py merlout.mdb
$ python merlout.py

The commands may take a few minutes to return if your database is large.

Thanks to this Working with Data blog post for the AccessDump.py script!
