Re: Images in Bulk Product
Yes, you can import products without images. If you want to bulk import to overwrite the existing products, make sure you pass in the same SKU which is used to unqiue identify the products.

No, you cannot do just image only update. You have to populate other fields as well. The software cannot know if you want to clear other fields or skip other fields.

This my scenarios :
 
1 - What I mean of Image Only is from my view. Actually I provide and regenerate the whole text file with latest data. Quantity, Price are changed. Some new Image strings are added. some Products with no Image befor, have new Images. Does this work as expected.

Re: Images in Bulk Product
If it's defined in the current bulk import format, then it's not supported now. You either have to write your own tool to do the import or wait until the next version to implement xml based bulk import format.

Re: Images in Bulk Product
When we delete an image of a product, shouldn't the record in DSC_Image table be deleted? Currently, it is adding up, and the database storgae has increased tremendously.
 
Please give me a solution. Also, if i remove the old data, will it affect the images in themes or logos ?
 
Does DSC_Image table store images of products ONLY?
 
Thanks a lot!

Re: Images in Bulk Product
You can use the following SQL script to clean up unused images.
 
delete from DSC_Image
where imageId not in (select imageId from dbo.DSC_Product_Image_Map)
and imageId not in (select imageId from dbo.DSC_Manufacturer where imageId is not null)
and imageId not in (select imageId from dbo.DSC_Product_Attribute_Value where imageId is not null)
