Migrating an .sql database to WordPress - mysql

Question

I have an SQL file for a database from an old custom blog CMS. I am trying to import the articles into WordPress but I am now stuck. So far, I have managed to isolate the table structures for the CMS (see below). I have also identified the columns that i need. These are (Post, Title, Date, Image, Category). Now I have to map these columns to some columns in the Wordpress schema somehow and that is where I am getting stuck.
Here is the SQL structure of the database:
CREATE TABLE `ads_ng_ads` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`ad_type` enum('media','text','html') character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL,
`media_type` enum('image','flash','other') character set latin1 collate latin1_bin default NULL,
`media_width` smallint(6) default NULL,
`media_height` smallint(6) default NULL,
`media_size` int(6) default NULL,
`media_path` varchar(128) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin default NULL,
`uri` varchar(128) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL,
`is_hidden` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`created_on` int(11) NOT NULL,
`active_from` int(11) NOT NULL,
`active_to` int(11) NOT NULL,
`room_id` int(11) default NULL,
`geo_target` int(11) default NULL,
`alternative` text character set utf8 NOT NULL,
`zone_target` text character set ascii collate ascii_bin NOT NULL,
`uri_target` text character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `zone_target` (`is_hidden`,`active_from`,`active_to`,`geo_target`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=757 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
CREATE TABLE `ads_ng_statistics` (
`ad_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`date` int(11) NOT NULL,
`views` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`clicks` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`ad_id`,`date`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `countries` (

`name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`alias` varchar(3) NOT NULL,
`restricted` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=253 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `featured_column` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`date_modified` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`date_created` timestamp NOT NULL default '1000-01-01 00:00:00',
`title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

`img_title` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
`meta_t` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`meta_k` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`meta_d` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`public` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1381 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Assuming that you're using the latest WordPress version(4.9.1), you just need to create a script that will import all data to table wp_posts for example if you want to import as WordPress posts. Example: "Title" to "post_title", "post" to "post_content", etc.
