Saving Scraped Data to a Database

We continue on with our e-commerce site in this tutorial by inserting the data we scrape into a database. Generally once you've extracted data from a web site you want to save it out either to a file or a database. We already went over saving the data to a file in Tutorial 2, so here we'll cover inserting the information into a database.

If you haven't gone through Tutorial 2, or don't still have the scraping session you created in it, you can download it here and import it into screen-scraper.

Once you've got the scraping session and script imported into screen-scraper you're ready to roll. Click on the "Tutorial Details" link below to get going.
