Yes, you can do this. It is possible to import to import data from version 1 and 2 of Links. Simply goto Database > Import/Export

Links SQL has a built in security system...where a 'user' can own links, and therefore get easy access to modify them.

The links sql, import the data of the database..
correct.

but, i think than you not understand.. :)
look..
I have a ONE field called "Senha".
and all the Passwords in there..
correct..
But, how the links sql, take this Passwords and add in the Users?
and with yours Usernames? or Contact Name..

Understand now?
Because, this than you say, the Owners of Sites have than register and after modify yours sites..
And i have more than 51,000 and this will be dificulty..(or harder, my english. hehe)..
i'm a litlle confuse :)
thanks for atention..

I did understand what you meant Wink

It is possible to write an import script, which will read the passwords, and usernames, and enter into lsql_Users. The only problem is, trying to get the usernames associated with the links. As I said before, you are best to just create new users with random passwords.

Hi,

Expanding a little bit on what Andy said, yes, we can write an import script to import all the links and separate out the passwords that you have in the database currently. However, then you will have to tell us what you want to do with the usernames, they do not currently exist in your database, so it's difficult for us to assign a user to each link. If you give me more details, I might be able to help you figure out a way.

Jack.
