Hi, not sure to have understood the question, here, but if you plan to publish it in any form, I fear it would be against the IMDb's terms of service. > i.e can IMDbPY be used to make a database derived from the IMDB database that > continually updates as the IMDB database does but allows for injections and > alterations to the schema. More or less. :-) The imdbpy2sql.py script, which is used to store the plain text data files freely distributed by IMDb into a SQL database can be run again using a new set of updated files, but the db would be (almost) completely destroyed and recreated from zero (the only saved values are the imdb_id matches). So, if you plan to alter the db schema, I guess you have to do it after the data has been imported again. (or you can obviously fork the project and modify it freely: after all it's free software :-)) Hope this helps, -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://www.mimante.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
