In short: Don't use Dataflow for anything, it's deprecated. Yoav Kutner once (2011) said that Dataflow is not usable, and that was the reason they added ImportExport in Magento 1.5. The main disadvantage of Dataflow is its very low speed.
ImportExport is much faster. It's not perfect as its CSV format is not too intuitive (I have summarized it at http://...

The fastest way to do it is to run this query directly.
DELETE FROM `catalog_product_entity` WHERE `sku` IN ('SKU1', 'SKU2', ...., 'SKU1000');
Everything should cascade nicely. attribute values will be deleted, category relations will be deleted, upsells, crosssells and related and so on.
[EDIT]
There is a catch to this. Thanks to STW for spotting ...

All due respect to Marius, but please don't interact with the database directly if it's at all avoidable. Maybe the related tables will be updated automatically, if your release of Magento and all your extensions are bug-free in all the right places. But if they're not, that sort of thing can destroy your site.
Instead, you can use Magento's own CSV ...

One approach is to use the registry so in your controller class you put it in the registry, and then in your block you can retrieve it.
<?php
namespace <Vendor>\<ModuleName>\Controller\Index;
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action;
class Index extends Action
{
protected $_coreRegistry;
public function __construct(

For future reference, the following syntax will add a TINYINT(1) field - for which BOOLEAN is a MySQL alias:
->addColumn('is_active', Varien_Db_Ddl_Table::TYPE_BOOLEAN, 1, array(
'nullable' => false,
'default' => 1,
), 'Status')
And the resulting field in MySQL:
Name, Type, Null, Default
is_active, tinyint(1), No, 1
Hope that helps a ...

We are using the SOAP API pretty often. It may not be feature complete but you can optimise the data exchange between external systems (ERP, CRM, ...) by optimising existing calls or writing your own one for special needs (e.g. only update a single attribute of a product without loading the complete product etc.).
If your clients don't like the CSV format (...

You can do it programmatically. Create a skustodelete.csv listing all skus to be deleted and after that here is the code to proceed further
require_once 'app/Mage.php';
Mage :: app("default")->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App :: ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$skuAll = array();
$file_handle = fopen("skustodelete.csv", "r");
$catalog = Mage::...

We use uRapidFlow Pro almost exclusively. uRapidFlow is very efficient and well worth the cost.
For very small sites, sure, the built-in product edit interface can be used; but import sheets of some sort must be utilized to be efficient at organizing and importing a large number of products.
A tip on creating a good import sheet would be to both check the ...

I did the following steps:
convert to utf8
remove empty "sku" column
rename "artnr" to "sku"
set column "type" to "simple" for all rows
clear column "image" and "small_image": "?" => ""
And now the import tells me "Processed 100% 11/11 records", "Imported 11 records". All green, all good but the new products are not listed in the catalog.
I guess I am ...

For people using a Dataflow Profile to import customer addresses, don't forget to add the country code (billing_country or shipping_country) and a post code (billing_postcode or shipping_postcode). Without those values, the address will not be taken into account.
If the address still doesn't show up, add those lines of code at the end of the __construct ...

If you want to import images into Magento, use ImportExport with the following sample CSV:
sku,_media_image,_media_attribute_id,_media_is_disabled,_media_position,_media_lable,image,small_image,thumbnail

The files must be in /media/import/...

I just did this a few days back. Using the standard Import/Export functionality, there doesn't seem to be problem importing addresses. The main difference seems to be underscore prefixing most address related field names (and suffixing some).
The easiest way is to do standard Export (instead of running a Dataflow profile) and see what the header looks like. ...

For the purpose of my question I was wanting to get the quoteId on the success page, with that in mind the quoteId is stored in the order object and can be accessed via the following
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId(Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastRealOrderId());
$quoteId = $order['quote_id'];

The grid table is necessary for the separation of the production data table when performing work on the admin.
Sorts, queries, and reports in the admin view all have a potential impact on causing read locks which may prevent order data from being written to the sales_flat_order_* tables during an order placement. This is even worse when sorting on an ...

When you running this script via cron - first you must change directory to script directory, so yoou must do cd /home/#######/public_html/custom_scripts/ first and then run script
so cron command must look something like
cd /home/#######/public_html/custom_scripts/; php dataflow_scheduled_export.php

When you update to Magento 1.9.2.X you will have this problem. If u use the app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Convert/Parser/Products.php from a older version of magento it will fix your problem.

The created_at is a system field, like entity_id and a few others. See app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Convert/Parser/Product.php, more specifically in the constructor:

Not using any extensions is limiting you, but you could use Import/Export with products because missing categories will be created when you import products. Afterwards, delete the created products.
Depending on your number of products and categories, it might be easier to create a single dummy product, assign it to all categories and then export only this ...
