XML import/export

Post by sefarm » Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:13 am

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,

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.
