Data migration from SQL to bugzilla

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Hi, We have a in house build defect tracking system where all the defects are in SQL database. Now we want to migrate to Bugzilla and so we need to migrate the defects in SQL to Bugzilla. I read on some sites that importxml.pl file in Bugzilla is used for moving the bugs in an xml format. Can anybody tell me what is the xml format I need to have my defects in so that it can be used by importxml.pl file? I searched a lot, but could not find the format of the bugs in xml should be. If possible can I also see one such sample xml file? Thanks. Prashanti

The bugzilla.dtd (in the same directory as importxml.pl) will show you the correct XML format for use with importxml.pl.

To view a sample of the format, just create a sample bug in Bugzilla, then click "XML" on the line below the "Commit" button.
