    Default How to import existing database

    I finally I bought the Indexu directory and I am about to import my existing database into Indexu.

    I will import my existing database (text file format) by using excel to add the extra required fields which are required by Indexu when using its import function.

    Will the following fields be sufficient when importing my database?

    link_id | category_id | title url | description | contact_name | email | hits | votes | rating | date | bid | new | hot | top_rated | pick password | updated | reviews | avg_review | last_updated | language | location | more_info

    Your assistance and advice is highly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Eric

    I got it going with just these:

    link_id | category_id | title url | description | contact_name | email |


    Make sure your link_id's are unique and sequential or else links with the same id's will not get into the new database.

    Veg,

    Here are some corrections :
    - title url should be split into 2 different fields : title | url
    - pick password should be split into 2 different fields : pick | password
    - language and more_info should be deleted

    If you want to see the structure with data type you can open sql.txt file.
