Viewing: Active Database Converter

If you want to switch your current plain text database to a new CGI script, which uses a different format, Database Converter will do the job for you. Most of the time you will have hundreds of lines of data in a database file, changing it manually to get it ready for a new script would take you a long time.

Here's an example: You've been using a search engine CGI for a long time now, but you just found a much better one, such as our own Smart Search :) So you install the new script. Now, you don't want to lose your old search engine database, and it would take forever to convert it manually. Let's say your current database stores info like this "title of site, address, description", and the new one requires info to be in this format "address, webmaster e-mail, title of site, description". Well that would be a little problem, wouldn't it? Not with Database Converter though!
