databases


The database system is used to create and edit database tables. As usual, tables and data records can be easily edited online. An import and export function is available for importing large amounts of data.

The database management

The database management can be found in the editing mode of your homepage under DB -> Database Management .

A new database table can be created in the upper part. To do this, enter the desired database name and click on Invest . In the lower part, the already existing database tables are displayed, for example the "shop" database.

To edit the table, click next to the database name To edit .

The database tables "shop", "forum" and "guestbook" do not have to be created manually in the database administration. These are created automatically when the modules are installed. Please refer Chapter Modules .

In the table view, all data sets (50 pieces per page) are displayed in table form. With the help of the table view, several data records can be changed quickly at the same time.

In the edit mode of your home page, click DB -> Database Management and click next to the database name, for example "shop". To edit . The data sets are loaded in the table view.

import database

With the import function, large amounts of data can be conveniently imported into the database. Files in CSV and TXT format can be imported.

It is important for the import that the columns in the import file match those in the database. To do this, compare the table headers in the table view with the columns in the Excel file. Even if columns do not contain any values, they must be included for the import.

In the following example, an item file is to be imported from Excel into the shop database. The columns have been adjusted in Excel to match the columns in the database. The header with the column names has been deleted.
