I’m looking for a solution to import all the IMDB data into my own MySQL database. I’ve downloaded all the IMDB data files from their homepage which are all in the file format *.list (in Windows).
I want to retrieve and that information and insert it correctly into my MySQL database so I can do some test and query searches.
I followed a guide but about half I realized that it was a 2004 guide and the way things works now did not go well with the tools from seven years ago.
I’ve browsed the net for applications, php-scripts, python-script and what not to find a solution but with no luck. The W32 tool that IMDB themselves references to don’t work either.
Is there anyone who knows a solution or a way to do this task?
