Import perch 2 blog into perch 3

Is it possible to import a blog from perch 2 into 3? I'm currently making a new site for an old client and want to try copy over their blog part with all the existing content (as there is quite a lot). I know I can do an SQL dump of things beginning with perch2_blog but I am not sure how to make that play nicely with perch 3. Has anyone done this?

You can just move the tables across. They've not changed format.

Just I just need to rename the tables to perch3_blog?

If that's the prefix you've got configured, then yes. You can search and replace in the db dump before importing it.
