PubChem database into mysql

Question

I want to download the pubchem substance database and put all information into a MySQL database. Is this possible, and if so how?

Is there a script which automatically update the database?

Answer 1

Data is available on the PubChem FTP site: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubchem/

Answer 2

The PubChem download page makes it clear that you can download the results from specific searches in several formats.

It does not seem like there is a way for you to download the entire database. If you want a copy of their entire database, try contacting the helpdesk: info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
