Want to Import directly into DB - someone have an example DB? 

Since AliCommerce doesn't have an Import feature yet, and since I don't want to enter all the stuff for hundreds of products by hand, I want to at least be able to import my products directly into the DB tables on the server.  Does anybody by any chance have an example DB (Access is fine) that has a somewhat populated "store" in it that I could use as an example for setting up my import (I'll probably just import CSV directly into the Database)?

Given that it will likely be at least several months before AliC's import function is ready for primetime, and given that I have a client that wants to move a bit faster, I figure writing a quick import script myself will still be faster than going in and creating 2 dozen categories, a half-dozen product attributes and products by hand.

Any help?

Noel,

Did you ever find a solution for importing categories & products.  I have the same issue.

Frank,

Can you give me an idea of what import file format will be expected?  Excel, comma delimited, etc...

Thanks,

Bacus
