How To Update Database Manually?

General Installation & Upgrade
1

Hey there,



I could not figure out yet if there is an update script or something available to manually update the CS Cart database. I would really love to see it. Usually it is provided in the secure area (for other products) but not so for CS Cart or I havent seen it yet. There are just the installation SQL files in the folder.



Did I just miss something?



Thanks for your help!

Thanks! But I wanted to know how to manual upgrade the database. Other software offers such options. The scripts must exist because they are used in that automatic upgrade process.

Unfortunately, CS-Cart does not provide these scripts. Then you are upgrading the store, the system downloads the required scripts and sql queries from their server.

I use Excel to generate CSV files. Then use PHPMyAdmin (available on almost all hosting plans) to import my CSV files directly into the MySQL tables. I just did this to upgrade from version 1.35 to 4.2.4 and it worked great.
