structure problem

[craign924]

hello forum,

i work with oscommerce and i have to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.

since all my tables --products, categories etc. are in 2.2 i thought i would just
install 2.3 and then import the 2.2 db and viola!! but it did not, and does not work
like that.

i was given the advice to install 2.3 and then change the structure of the 2.2 db
to match the 2.3 db and then import only the certain tables needed.

i sure i can do this in phpmyadmin, but i would have to do this manually.

i thought i would come and ask if there is a utility or some simpler more effecient
way of doing this.

if someone could advise or refer me to an example or tutorial or article referring
to this scenario, i would be grateful.

thanks,
craig

have you tried the oscommerce forum. Although you may strike it lucky with a member that has used osc, the site itself should be the best place to ask specific questions with regard to the product.

yeah ardav has it spot on, a simple google search brought loads of results: http://www.google.co.uk/search?ie=UTF-8&q=os+commerce+2.2+to+2.3+upgrade

as for tool MySQL workbench is better than PHPMyAdmin
