import data into custom document type

Hi - when i create a custom document type - essentially i create a table on teh back end. can i add data into that custom document type through the database or is that a bad idea. In other words when i add a custom document type and i add data to that custom document type through kintera - does it update more than just the custom document type table?

i'm building a datafeed and I want the data to go into the table external from kentico.

thoughts? Thanks!!!

RE:import data into custom document type

Hi,

When a document type is created, there is also a DB table (coupled data table) created, where the content of the document type fields is stored. But to the document type belongs also some instance of a document (node) object.

In this article you can see the structure of the documents in database, so you need to update the records in CMS_Document and CMS_Tree tables, if you want to use it with documents. I hope it will help.

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus
