  <p>Financial accounts have the cost code information and financial types are what the user selects.

  There are likely more tables involved that just that table so I would not go directly into the database. There is an api for creating financial accounts so you could try using the [csvimporter extension](https://civicrm.org/extensions/api-csv-import-gui) to import them. I believe it is available as a downloadable extension from your manage extensions page.
