P O	Saturday 06 February 2010 3:51:22 am Hello. I would like to remove all keywords from my site, is it safe to just remove all entries from ezkeyword and ezkeyword_attribute_link tables ? or maybe there is some script to do that ?
Robin Muilwijk	Saturday 06 February 2010 12:54:56 pm Hi, I just tried this on a localhost with a clean eZ Publish 4.2 install including sample data which also contains keywords. What I did was use phpMyAdmin to empty both tables. As far as I can tell, there was no real impact on anything else. Keywords were all gone, and I was able to add new keywords again. If you read this: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/reference/datatypes/keywords, I can't see any major impact to the rest of eZ when you empty those tables. But... I'm not that experienced yet with eZ, so I might be overlooking something which uses the keywords which might break on removing this data. This is at your own risk, I'd make sure to backup the data from those tables ;) Regards Robin Board member, eZ Publish Community Project Board - Member of the share.ez.no team - Key values: Openness and Innovation.
