[mythtv-users] Import Old Previously Recorded database table?

I had an 0.20.2 mythtv install that worked great for me. But I had to stop
using that computer and I was able to dump the MySQL database before I lost
access to that machine. Now I've got a 0.21 mythtv install on a new computer
that's working great. I don't mind to reinput the recording schedule for my
favorite TV shows, but I hate that the new install doesn't know about all
the episodes I watched on the previous Myth box.

So, my question is, with the database dump from my 0.20.2 box, can I just
import the oldrecorded table into my 0.21 database and have it "know" about
all the shows I've already seen? Or is more complicated than that? I'm
familiar with mysql and SQL and don't mind messing around with them if there
is no easier way to restore this data. The tables look the same so I think
I'll just try it out and see what happens, but I'd like to see if anyone
else had any experience with this or know if the contents of the table
depended on anything else that I should also import.
