Update a whole category?

Update a whole category?
Hello,

Here's what I do now:
When I need to update the content of a category, I first export all the links from the mysql database. Then I edit the exported data to remove the old content from that category, and add the content of the new category. I then delete all the links from the mysql database and then import the new data.

There must be a better way to do this. Any suggestions?

Thanks

What do you mean by 'update the content of a category'? Do you mean a mass change, or are you making a bunch of changes to all the links in the category?

Cheers,

Alex

Hello Alex,

Mass change. I am using Links SQL to maintain a list of electronic journals with fulltext, at http://www.indiana.edu/~libej . I receive the title list and updates from the database venders directly. When there is a new update from a vendor, I need to replace the old one with the update.

Thanks
