Is it possible to be created object and to assign nodes to them by using php scripts... I want to insert information form a mysql database to objects( after that to nodes) in eZ publish system. I think that the direct sql commands to the eZ publish database will not be a good idea so I want to use some module or mechanism of eZ publish to insert the info to the eZ Publish database.
I want to use php scripts to create ez object and assign node to it. I think I should use some parts of content module.
Could you give me some information and opinions.10x all

take a look at /bin/php/ezcsvimport.php of the eZ installation. You can find some patterns on how to create content objects via PHP there. You might also want to take a look at the forum thread http://ez.no/developer/forum/developer/cli_script_slow where you can finde a code sample and some hints on better practices.

Again. You will want to take further time to study and learn from the existing eZ Publish PHP API Documentation and available extensions instead of seeking a sql based solution.
<i>http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/creating_new_content_objects_with_php http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/classeZContentObjectTreeNode.htmlhttp://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/solution_using_ez_publish_doxygen_api_documentation</i>
Once you understand the eZ content object / content tree abstraction matches code (php classes) up to database independent solutions. *
Take the time, write test code, learn to create using existing extensions as examples of content objects within eZ Publish. Use the API.

In the beginning I also thought: direct SQL INSERTs are a maybe a good way for fast content migration.
So I activated the SQL debug output within the admin to understand how to created an article.
Whats this? 68 x eZMySQLDB::query for creating an article 67 x eZMySQLDB::query for saving an article(ok, most of them are SELECTs ...)
...and I understand the reason for the API.

ez Publish is new for me and i have to spend more time with documentation. But i found the log of queries to mysql - the general query log http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/query-log.html
It might be possible to saw the the sql statements for publishing of articles.

possible != useful
Maybe you will get later difficulties with the data-integrity.This type of problems costs you really much time.
