I am not trying to use 1.4 script to talk to 1.5 database. And I know
the schemas has changed.
Let me put it clearly, I installed mediawiki 1.4 and the result was
creation of a database (wikidb) with the tables as per the 1.4 schema.
Now I downloaded the pages_full.xml.bz2 from the web (17 gig file). And
I want to import it.
Option 1: importdump.php - not possible as it is not there in 1.4 mediawiki
Option 2: mwdumper - problem error :
Error 1146(42SO2) at line 31 : Table 'wikidb.old' does not exist
After that it continues to import the pages..it does not stop.
My worry is, if that error can screw up things.

changed quite dramatically between the two versions. Indeed, the "old"
table _doesn't_ exist in 1.5 onwards.
