I thought when you kicked in the mysql adaptor, it populated the mysql table with all that data... you're saying it doesn't, and you have to start from scratch?
If you start a new list with any of the MysqlMemberships.py adaptors that I have seen, it creates the necessary database tables.
If you switch an existing list from OldStyleMemberships.py to MysqlMemberships.py, you have replaced all the list methods that access the list's config.pck for member data with ones that access the MySQL database. Thus, MysqlMemberships.py has no way to get the old membership data and you have to somehow get it before the switch to populate the new database.
Ideally, there would be a utility to extract the membership data, populate the MySQL database and switch the member adaptor, but as far as I know, there is no such utility.
