database fields....can this be done?

[Andrew Greaves]

I inherited a site using v4.1. Does anyone know the field names SS uses in
products.db and pages.db so that i might access them through an ADO or ODBC
connection string and construct my own product pages? Does anyone know if
this is access, MySQL, SQL 2000? or what?

Thanks all

It is none of those, it is a proprietary database file format and can only be
accessed via the ShopSite cgi's.
