XML import/export

Hi,

I'm a software developer and would like to suggest an obvious (to me) solution to import export.
Just implement a simple XML import export facility for the database. This is common for most
database apps; I'm curious why this hasn't been done?

Sure a lot simpler than uploading to a server, downloading, and mapping. It would also give SW junkies
the ability to massage data externally.

Thanks, it would be nice as a "local" feature. ie, from/to the local filesystem.

Also, I didn't see any stats on the pitch location. Since we're able to input them, they must be somewhere.
Can I get at them somehow?

Thanks again,

Here are some threads in the forum with more information on getting pitch details:

As you can see by the second link especially... it takes some technical savy, (above my head).

but if you understand it, the API and SQL, looks do able..

I agree with OhioTex, using the gamedetail api it is certainly do able. I use it to fill a MySQL table on which I query to get some advanced stats. You should be able to do almost everything that EdgeHQ and TruMedia do and even more for zero extra costs.
