[Foundation-l] Import question

Wed Feb 16 19:37:56 UTC 2005

I have a text file of dictionary terms - word, definition plus another
file of word, synonyms - since I already have it in this format it
would be a lot easier to import it.

I CAN reformat the file, but to enter it manually would take too long
(there are over 20,000 entries in the dictionary file alone, more in
the synonyms).

I do not have a complete understanding of the database schema so the
answer may be obvious to others; any insight would be helpful.

I will also subscribe to the other list.

Thanks again.
