Hi all, anyone know how to extract data from a web database. For example, how can I extract movie information from http://www.imdb.com/ into a relational database? Is there any existing tools to do this? Or need I write some codes?

Thanks a lot!

Their database has to be open to the public which no serious company would ever do due to security reasons. Instead some create a web service where you can access their data through XML. Amazon.com does this. I'm not sure about imdb.com. In any case, you can still extract html data from pages on the imdb server using your favorite server language. You'd then have to parse the data. It's a dirty way to do it, but it's doable.

Remember that doing what you intend could well be viewed as data theft and/or a violation of the terms of service of the site.

You are effectively bypassing whatever mechanism the site has (usually sponsorship through advertising) in ripping the information.

Before you bring any such service live be sure to get permission from the site owners.
