What I have discovered is that it was easier for Level 3 to clean up the RIPE registry and import that with scripts than to try and convert the old QIP Oracle databse.
Interesting.
Presumably, one reason for using a nice integrated system is to help LIRs get things right from the start. I'm sure it's to everyone's advantage to avoid making errors to begin with. Nonetheless, any errors (invalid assignments, or whatever) in the RIPE Database will need to be sorted out at some stage. Doing it at the start might be useful as the LIR could then move forwards with a clean slate, so to speak. We (RIPE NCC Hostmasters) can provide help to LIRs cleaning up their database entries.
