    Default Transferring a non-mySQL database

    I have been using Zen Cart for more than a year now, but I originally created my online store using Zilron StoreCreator. There is a database with all the product entries (and more, I believe) with a .zsd extension. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether this database can be converted into/merged with a mySQL database of the sort used by Zen Cart, but I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who thinks it might be possible -- and especially if you'd be willing to actually do it.

    Not knowing how else to proceed, I have been recreating the products in Zen Cart, copying what I can from the old listings/product descriptions. But I have 5,000 or more products to move, and I'm not sure I'll live long enough to complete the task, while at the same time trying to keep up with the addition of newly acquired products.

    Default Re: Transferring a non-mySQL database

    If you can export that database or convert it to a Comma Separated or Tab Delimited file then you could map the fields to Zen Cart.
