Database Download
The Database Download page allows you to export any of the internal
tables on Interchange to the backup directory of your catalog. By
default, it exports each table to a tab-delimited file named for the table.
It also can export Gnumeric simple-text output and, if you have the Perl Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module installed, it can write XLS spreadsheet files.
NOTE: XLS output is only available when you have the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
module installed. Spreadsheet::WriteExcel is available at CPAN.
To use, take the following steps:
- Check the boxes corresponding to the tables you want to export.
- Select whether you want Gnumeric output and/or XLS output.
- Click Perform Export button.
NOTE: If you have very large database tables, the export function may take a
long time. It is not recommended for more than 25,000 products.
Once the tables are exported to a Gnumeric or XLS format, they will be
available for download on the same page. Individual tables are downloadable
via the File Transfer menu.
Caveats:
- Fields longer than 255 characters will be wrapped to the next line
and must be combined in the spreadsheet to be re-imported.
