    Default problems from old database entries

    im using the quickbooks mod by srturner and have run into a small problem. while syncing quickbooks im getting errors about products not listed in QB. the reason they arent showing up in QB is that the products causing the errors are not listed anymore and havent been for over a year. can someone help me find where they are in the DB so i can drop the entries that are causing the errors? i have a downloaded copy of my DB sql file and can see the item numbers but i dont know where to locate where the entry is in phpmyadmin.

    You have posted in "General Questions" and this is for issues with default supplied ZenCart code

    Any QB module is 3rd party and should have a support thread in the contributions area

    thanks for the reply! im aware that the QB mod is a third party add on but this has to do with old DB entries and really nothing to do with the QB mod. im referring to the basic zencart database. the products im referring to were once listed in the shop but arent anymore. i need to know how to find the so i can clean up the db a little.

    I am sure that you will find that these are in the added QB tables and not the stock ZenCart tables if you removed these items

    If you deleted them through the admin, that removes them from the products table and the products to categories table and any other tables as in if they had attributes

    If you used some other way to delete them maybe you should add to this post what you have used

    the listings were deleted through the admin area using the red X beside the listing name. the store at the time these products were listed was 1.3.8a. the current shop is using 1.3.9h(fresh install)l and had the DB imported given the different file setup/structure in the 2 versions. the QB mod only showed me the errors were there. otherwise i wouldnt have known about them.

    Are you sure it's telling you about PRODUCTS in your database? Or products connected to ORDERS in your database?


    Anyway, if you want to find and delete rogue entries that have somehow been orphaned or don't show properly in your uncustomized normal admin interface, then backup your database, and hack away. Be sure that if you're gonna go manually deleting records without safeties then you'll need to carefully study the many tables where related data is stored, such as this reference: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...a#Product_Info

    thanks for your input as well dr. byte. i dont want to go in and just hack through the DB until i find the problem. is there anyway that i could drop all cart/order info from a certain day back similar to this thread: zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118581 ?

    the thread refers to abandoned carts specifically but is there an sql query that would delete old orders before a certain date?

    I'm not a fan of deleting data, especially order history ... the IRS doesn't like gaps.

    I'd be more inclined to study where the problem really lies before doing something to change the data that's causing you strange messages.

    Have you determined whether the error is coming from *product* data or from *order* data?
    Did you have an option to export only a certain date range of data? Or did you select the entire database? Maybe a more selective range might help narrow the problem? Esp since I doubt you'd be planning to import the entire history every time you invoke it.
