What language did you use to do the parsing. If it was perl I'd recommend
looking at using perl's DBI interface and doing it progromaticaly.
Do you have any idea of how many different url's you have.
Basic steps:
Get record,
check to see if url is in database, if it is get the url_id.
if not insert it and get the generated url_id.
insert the user record using the url_id you now have.
repeat until you run out of records.
Not elegent but it will get the job done. Note look into documentation on
how to get the new url_id after you do an insert. Its in the DBD::mysql
for perl.
