Thanks David. How else would you recommend one gets only the account structure in a way that remains consistent? Is there any other way an account structure can be fetched without using the method I described? Oliver On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 1:31:39 AM UTC+1, David Torres wrote: > > Hi Oliver

Keywords disappear

I was trying to delete some keywords and I got an error which says "INVALID_ID". It seems that these keywords don't exist in the live account, but in my database they exist. They were downloaded some time ago using the keywords performance report and I update them every day. How can this be? I

Hi Daniel, I'm also using the LOAD DATA feature to import the reports. A simple way is to import the data and afterwards delete the total line. Works good for me. Artur -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot

Re: Reports without the Totals line

Yes, that is what we ended up doing. We LOAD DATA into an intermediate table and then we use a stored procedure to copy from there to the "real" table. As the first column in the report is numeric, but the "Total" word is on that column, we had to make that column a varchar on the intermediate t
