link fields question
I have added custom fields to the numerous existing links in my directory. I would now like to add more DMOZ entries.. obviously, the DMOZ links will not have the same amount of fields as my existing links. Do I need to add delimiters to the DMOZ list, or is there some way to automate this?

Thanks! :)

I'm not sure what you are asking, but an Import for MySQL takes the fields you supply, then provides defaults for the fields that don't exist.

The problem will occur if you have set fields to "not null" or "required" and they don't exist in the import database.

I've imported from DMOZ into highly customized databases without a problem.
