I have an existing database of approximately 8,000 links and would like to integrate a section of the DMOZ (I already have the section I'd like to import). My existing database contains additional fields of info per link and contains a different category/subcategory structure versus DMOZ.
My question is would it be better to start clean - clear everything out of the existing tables, import the DMOZ data, and then re-import/integrate my existing data from my most recent back up OR should I try to import DMOZ into my existing database? BTW, I'm looking at integrating a Regional section of DMOZ.
I would appreciate anyone's opinion that has been down this road before. Also, any specific steps I should follow? Any particular hurdles I need to overcome?
Thanks.
