Another import issue
Hi

I Have someone who is interested in using my current Links SQL database on another site that uses Links 2.
I know that importing from Links 2 ----> links SQL is easy.
But How about a reverse import from Links SQL ---> links 2?
Can it be done and how to do it ? If anyone knows I will appreciate so much..

Regards

Why would you want to do that? It would be very complicated to say the least. Basically the whole "import" script would have to be re-written as an "export" script to work with Links 2.0.

I don't know why you would want to go back to a flat file system, which is cumbersome and challenging to hack and use compared to SQL systems like Links SQL.

Ithink you did not read my post completely :)
I said there is another website wanna use my database, and they can not afford links SQL, so they wanna start with Links 2 till they grow up..

I will never think about going back to Links 2 after trying Links sql..:)

Well, I did read your post and I have to say the same thing, it would be highly complex to EXPORT LINKS SQL data into Links 2.0. And the logic is upgrading and not downgrading software.

Hi,

It would be very difficult to go the other way, just because of how Links SQL stores it's information.

Sorry,
