What elements of my store does my database contain please

Hello :smile:

I'm in the process of moving my store to another server and my new hosts will be migrating my database at the appropriate time.

Could someone tell me please exactly which elements of my store are contained within the database, or point me in the direction of details on the Zencart website - I believe it contains customer details, categories, product details, but does it contain EZ pages, product images etc etc?

With many thanks

The database contains several hundred DIFFERENT TYPES of information, not possible to list them all here, but if you consider all the CONFIGURATION settings, WEIGHT, CURRENCY, ATTRIBUTES, PRODUCTS, COUNTRIES, ZONES, TAXES...

(Look through all the dropdowns in your admin panel to get an idea.)

However:

The database DOES store ezpages data (as html).
The database DOES NOT store images.
The database DOES NOT store defined pages.

PS: Curious as to why you need this... :huh:

Thank you fairestcape - that helps me :smile:

For various reasons I am starting with a fresh build of ZenCart on my new hosts site and want to make sure that I have everything set up and ready to go so all they need to do is import the database from my current site for me - trying to avoid as much down time as I can.

The database and the php/site files are inextricably linked, and while they are "separate" entities, site functionality is entirely reliant on the "marriage" between the two.

When you move a site, it's essential that the contents of the two are "re-married" after the move, so that you maintain both the functionality, the information, and all the settings that you configured over time.
