I just posted Cloud Converter to Google code.  It’s a bunch of Java code that:

** connects to a dirt bound database you specify — anything with a JDBC connector should work (MySQL, Lotus Notes, Microsoft SQL, Oracle)
** inspects the meta data
** creates a matching object in Force.com
** modifies the default page layout to include all of the fields and creates a custom tab for it
** moves data from the dirt to the cloud

Pretty straightforward.  The "ReadMe.txt" gives more detail.  I’ll be putting together a screen flow shortly.  Questions?  Drop me an email: rcarlberg@modelmetrics.com.
