Yes as far as I know you are correct, the X-cart importer will overwrite what's there.
Ours however you can set it to just update instead. It's keyed off product SKU. So if it finds a product SKU that matches in the database, it will update any information you feed it through the feed.
We find a lot of people rather use this tool for updating as they already have their products in the cart previously if they are not a new site.
Feel free to drop us an email if you have more questions.
Thanks,
Carrie

If my understanding is correct (it may not be!) the standard x-cart export/import involves exporting existing data, adding new products to spreadsheet in correct format and then importing. The import overwrites the existing db with the new data.
What I'd like to do is essentially a table update rather than what I assume is a drop/create table that the standard x-cart export import uses. Will this tool help?
