    Default Merging stores

    I run an osc2.2 store right now and after installing oscMax for another project, I want to take my older store and upgrade it. It has about 13 items total, but they all have 20+ attributes each. Color/material/size etc.

    I also have 200+ registered customers, but if they get deleted, no biggie. Only downside is product reviews. Any way to save those?

    Anyways, I spent about 25-30mins looking on the wiki and through the forums, but I saw no guide to migrate over or upgrade a store to oscMax. Is it as simple as I hope? Just copying over the matching mysql tables from older to newer store? (products/customers/reviews/attributes)

    Sorry if I may have missed it, but is there an article/thread/post somewhere explaining how to upgrade/migrate a store?

    Thanks for the help,
    --Martin--

    Default Re: Merging stores

    MySQLdiff will help in the DB modifications....

    Anything with PRODUCTID NOT IMPOSABLE to import - just not fun.

    You only have a FEW products - that is good.

    Setup a TEST server - install old site and a new osCMax site. Use MySQLdiff (old to new) to generate a SQL upgrade script.
