Nop commerce with different database structure

Hi,

I want to use nop commerce with client's database structure , would it be possible to use different database intigration in nop commerce? Please help

Thanks

I've started adding "ExternalId" attributes to products, categories, manufacturer so I can talk to existing systems. Could that help?

No Can you please explain it in details ?
Actually in my case I have to fetch the data from existing database (NAV) and I can not amend the structure of that database.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. In my answer, I was saying that I have added a new column to Nop's Products table called "ExternalId", which is a reference to a product ID on another system that our nop-based website will have to integrate with.

For your case, it may be tricky. If you look inside Nop.Data/Mappings, you can see how each property of nop's domain objects (category/manufacturer/product/order etc etc) are "mapped" to their respective database tables & columns. Perhaps you could change these to match to your database structure?

Although unfortunately I suspect that this would take a lot of work.

Thanks Steven Sproat

Yes even I tried in the same way to modify the mapping for category ...and it took so much of time that's why I am looking for the another option.

Anyways Thank you so much.
