Default Re: Export OOB to CSV format?

The OOB CSV dump is well obsolete - I'm not even sure if it does all the fields.

There was an import from CSV facility at one time, but it had no error checking whatsoever, so it was easier to simply delete it. It just was a way to make massive errors really. Adding even basic error checking would have required a heck of a lot of code for an almost unused function.

We have our own dumper programme that builds tables for a real database now, so the CSV dump is really not much use. We can use SQL queries for OOB consistency checking. Fixes are still done manually, since that is better for error checking - no back-door method to inject errors.

Therefore, I may delete the Mobhack CSV button at some point since it is not maintained, and few use it. Or probably just leave it, and let the person that comes up every 2-3 years wanting an import feature, or asks why field X is missing, why.
