I have an OSCommerce store that needs a csv file uploaded to the database.
The CSV file has thousands of products and new product categories that need to be loaded. I need someone to load the csv file into te database, then walk me through the process. I will need to upload the csv files on a near weekly basis for product updates.

It is my understanding that the Database and the cvs files are not the exact same.

Payment will be sent via Paypal upon successful importing of the cvs file, and teaching me how to do so in the future.

email me at "sales at PetsPl.us"

If the Database layout and the csv file aren't the same layout, you'll need a program in php or another language to map the csv to the database tables.

Repeatedly uploading files to an ecommerce database can be a bit difficult to manage because the upload process won't go through the same checks as when they are manually entered making the ecommerce database prone to not working correctly.

Could easily be done in half hour.

Check freelance websites and make an offer in the right forum.

This may work for you after some modifications

If your oscommerce products aren't too complex (i.e. per attributes pricing, lots of custom modules) you can use easypopulate (search osCommerce mods). Anything else and you would have to modify easypopulate to your liking. Either way, its fairly simple to code, but tedious.


Oh and btw, I would ask for a 2nd opinion on whichever code you pick, since what you're asking for would require full access to your site, and thus may have malicious code.
