Is it advisable to import contacts directly through mysql client using "insert values". I am trying to import a list of a couple of thousands of contacts?
It seems to me that you could do a mysql insert values statement through mysql client and import company info into the table company_data_1 and then likewise load contact data into contact_data_1. I am not sure though if this would break certain external references and cause the CRM to break. Usually, I feel it is best to update records using application rather than mysql directly. However in this case the Data Import utility does not appear to be working for me and so far I have not received any suggestions on how to access/utilized it.
