 * I’d like to import products to WordPress database tables without import tools
   like WP Import. I am using WP import, but it’s very slow.
 * I currently have over 300,000 products. The solution may not be to use a plugin,
   rather “directly” import records to the database.
 * Looking for someone who has solved this issue before.
 * Thank you,
    Greg Carter

 * Use an importing system. I’ve tried… while not impossible, it’s more work to 
   get the data sorted into a “correct” format then it is to let the importer run.
 * The issue is that if you want to import products directly you need to know the
   exact database structure and work with that. It’s not as clear as you’d hope 
   for, and will almost 100% never match anything that’s been exported from another
   system. You also have to deal with all of the product images as these need to
   be uploaded to the system as well as just adding in some database entries. It’s
   a very long process, and not for anyone that’s not a guru (note that I’m not 
   enough of that right now either).
