An alternative solution to making a conversion script would be to export 
the data into something other then markup. Maybe a JSON output. Then with 
the JSON data in a tiddler have a some JavaScript widget convert it into a 
HTML table.

I suggest this because the amount of data (2000 records) is way to large to 
edit as markup! It would be easier to have that data in an inter operable 
format that you could query, mutate, or edit through means beyond just text.

In fact TiddlyWiki has JSON data support 
<http://tiddlywiki.com/#JSONTiddlers> built in.
