Re: [ic] adding fields to database table /was Uploading offline

The basic procedure would be this:
Create the standard offline directory "offline" in the catalog directory.
cd CATALOG_DIR
mkdir offline
cd offline
Link in your text files to that directory:
ln ../products/*.txt ../products/*.asc ../products/*.csv .
Run offline:
/usr/local/minivend/bin/offline -c CATALOGNAME
When it completes, stop Minivend/Interchange, move the GDBM files
to the products directory, then restart:
/usr/local/minivend/bin/minivend -stop
mv -f *.gdbm ../products
/usr/local/minivend/bin/minivend
That is what I would do.
