Using Feeds to import data In order to import data from a CSV file, I would like to use Feeds. I followed an example from the Drupal Cookbook, and it uses the Basic Page content type.

Because the data I would like to import has unique data, could you please confirm if I will need to create a new content type with its own fields so I can map map the source to target? I would just like to make sure what I am attempting to do is correct to avoid corrupting the database...
If there are different data that you would like to store from your csv, you should create your own content type, add required fields there.

Then in create your feeds importer, set the required settings(like selecting your content type), set mappings and let feeds do its magic(yep, its an awesome module!)

Fees is a great module where you have to import data into nodes, users or taxonomy.
