Import vendors database?

[jhande]

I tried searching for this and couldn't fined anything, sorry if I missed it somewhere.

 

I was wondering if it is possible to use my distributors ready-made database for uploading?

 

The reason I ask, is because there are hundreds... no thousands of items. Even if I had to open it in Microsoft Access to edit the table. The database is searchable as it is through a program that my distributor supplies. Using the table sure would make life easier than entering each item individually through osC. :thumbsup:

Maybe I should have asked...

What info does the vendors database need in order to work with OSC?

I'm sure it follows the basic principals of a MySQL table, but what is needed for OSC to query it?

I just checked in my cPanel and found that I can replace sql databases.

 

So if I make a database and format it through OSC, open it with Access, set the same attributes to my wholesalers database and rename/replace the database on my server... will it work with OSC?
