I am building my first database driven website with Drupal and I have a few questions.
I am currently populating a google docs excel spreadsheet with all of the data I want to eventually be able to query from the website (after it's imported). Is this the best way to start?
If this is not the best way to start what would you recommend?
My plan is to populate the spreadsheet then import it as a csv into the mysql db via the CCK Node.
I've seen two ways to do this.
http://drupal.org/node/133705 (importing data into CCK nodes)
http://drupal.org/node/237574 (Inserting data using spreadsheet/csv instead of SQL insert statements)
Basically my question(s) is what is the best way to gather, then import data into drupal?
Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions.
