Populate Product Tables

[carbar]

Hi,

I'm using VM 2.0.16 on Joomla 2.5.7.
I have 60+ products whose information is available in another database (oscommerce format).
I see the tables virtuemart_products and virtuemart_products_fa_ir containing the data I enter manually, and I was wondering if populating these two tables automatically would suffice.

Thanks for any guidance

There are other related tables you'll need to populate correctly to avoid having any errors. If you aren't familiar with the VM2 database, and just need to do a one time move, I recommend using a migration utility like Cart2Cart: http://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/supported-carts

Thanks but I have made modifications to the original osc database and a third party migration would create more headache. Is there a documentation on VM DB?

You could export the product data from Oscom as csv and import (after arranging the fields)  into VM2 using CSVI - http://csvimproved.com/
