Automatically update product quatities from a spreadsheet or flat file

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to automatically load / update data from a flat file into the products table. if the entry already exists then I want the product count to be updated

Is there something part of ZEN cart that can already do this?

if not is there a clear explanation of the Database strucutre? like an ERD diagram or something?

thanks
