Import data from SQL to Orchard CMS

Question

I have a site based on Orchard CMS with my own ContentType. If I create new object of my ContentType in web interface, I can see it in SQL database. But if I create new row in table of my ContentType (in SQL Management Studio), I can't see new object in web interface. Are there ways to import data from SQL to Orchard?

If you put the data in the right places it should work, but it involves more than one table. It would be pretty easy to screw up. The Import/Export feature is probably a more reliable way to go. If you port your data from SQL to xml first, then import it. That's probably the way to go. You can just export a test record first to see what the schema would look like.
