Useful MySQL To Help You Manage Your Prestashop Project Like a Boss

During the years I have been working on Prestashop professionally I gathered many useful SQL queries which help you to overcome some unusual tasks.

Here is a collection of useful SQL queries for Prestashop project ready to be fired. This is my personal collection from years spent on developing Prestashop projects. I will do my best to update this list periodically so please do re-check this post from time to time.

If you have any suggestions please write it in a comment of this post below and I will be more than happy to find the answer and then extend this list. I have been working with Prestashop for many years on really complex project with thousands of products and I have to do many unusual tasks for my clients

All SQL query have been tested under Prestashop in version 1.6.1

SQL Query For Exporting Data

export categories and products:

select p.id_product,
 pl.name as product_name,
 pl.description_short as product_description_short, 
 pl.description as product_description,
 concat('http://', ifnull(conf.value,'example.com'), '/img/p/', p.id_product, '-' , pi.id_image, '.jpg') as product_image,
 p.id_category_default,
 cl.name as category_name,
 cl.description as category_description,
 concat('http://', ifnull(conf.value,'example.com'), '/img/c/', cl.id_category, '.jpg') as category_image
from ps_product p
left join ps_image pi on p.id_product = pi.id_product
left join ps_product_lang pl on p.id_product = pl.id_product
left join ps_category_lang cl on p.id_category_default = cl.id_category
left join ps_configuration conf on conf.name = 'PS_SHOP_DOMAIN'
group by p.id_product

export just categories:

select cl.id_category,
           cl2.name as parent_name,
           cl.name,
           cl.description,
           cl.link_rewrite,
           concat('http://', ifnull(conf.value,'example.com'), '/img/c/', c.id_category, '.jpg') as url_image,
           cl.id_lang
from ps_category c
inner join ps_category_lang cl on cl.id_category = c.id_category
inner join ps_category_lang cl2 on cl2.id_category = c.id_parent and cl2.id_lang = cl.id_lang
left join ps_configuration conf on conf.name = 'PS_SHOP_DOMAIN'
order by cl.id_lang, c.level_depth

export just products:

select cl.id_product,
           cl.name,
           cl.description,
           concat('http://', ifnull(conf.value,'example.com'), '/img/p/', c.id_product, '-' , i.id_image, '.jpg') as url_image,
           cl.id_lang
from ps_product c
left join ps_image i on c.id_product = i.id_product
left join ps_product_lang cl on cl.id_product = c.id_product
left join ps_configuration conf on conf.name = 'PS_SHOP_DOMAIN'
group by cl.id_product
order by cl.id_lang
