[wp-hackers] resetting post IDs

Hello,
I'm trying to manually mix two installs of Wordpress with two sets of
posts that have overlapping IDs.
I'm comfortable updating the IDs in the necessary places - the question
is, what are those places?
So far, the easy ones are:
posts->ID
postmeta->post_id
comments->comment_post_ID
Additionally, it looks like some of the object_id values may need to be
updated in the various terms and taxonomy tables.
Anyone know for sure?
Using the import/export feature simply didn't work, and I didn't try the
various plugins. I'm trying to retain the IDs of the larger data set
(which is what I'm importing to the smaller one) - because they are
using a permalink structure in an existing site that relies on that data
(at least I think it does - /archives/post_id? - I'll need to check on
that).
Thanks,
Kevin N.
