Tables to migrate over from Oscommerce?

I'm trying to get a list of necessary tables together in order to bring all pertinent data (customers and order history) over from OScommerce to Zen Cart... so far I have the following:

* address_book
* customers_info
* customers
* orders
* orders_products
* orders_product_attributes
* orders_status_history
* orders total
* orders status

Is there anything here I don't need? Like do I really need "orders_product_attributes" ??? Please advise.

Why not simply use one of the osCommerce to Zen Cart conversion tools (here or here) available form the downloads area?

Unfortunately, neither of those are working for me. The data importer just stops after a few lines and gives me no error, the other one comes up with a blank page.

Are the tables I listed above correct for what I need? Maybe doing this manually would be less problematic, I've added a bunch of mods in my store.

Re: Tables to migrate over from Oscommerce?

Maybe you need to get some PHP error reporting going inside the tools to find out why it's croaking?

If you choose to go the manual route, here's the list of tables used in Zen Cart: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Developers_-_Database_Schema#Table_List_Ordered_by_Data

And, the fact that you've added a bunch of mods to your store is a very good reason to be very careful in bringing data across ... especially if any of those mods has altered any of the tables for any reason.

There is a support thread for OsCommerce Data Importer http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89960&page=7
