Toad Data Point 6.0.5 - Release Notes

Import Data

Import Data

You can use the Import Wizard to import data from a single file, from multiple files of the same type in a folder, from multiple files in different folders, from a SQL query, or from a SharePoint list. You can import data into a new or existing table. When importing data to Local Storage, you can create a new snapshot.

Toad also provides another way to initiate the import process. Import Export Data Dialog

Note: Attempting to import data that was exported to an Excel instance where the fractional seconds were truncated results in an error.

Considerations When Importing Data

Review the following information before importing data.

Consideration

Description

International characters

When importing data that contains international characters, make certain that your default character set is UTF-8. In the Import wizard, you must also select Unicode in the File encoding field on the File Preview page.

Processing row count

You can improve the efficiency of the import process by defining the block size (processing row count) for imported data.

To define the block size for imported data

Enter a value for Processing row count on the Select Target page of the Import Wizard.

Default is 500.

Use the following general guidelines when determining the row count:

  • For a small number of columns, increase the processing row count.
  • For a large number of columns, decrease the processing row count.
SharePoint® Toad supports SharePoint 2010 and 2013.

    • Add Query—Open a SQL file or enter a query.
    • Add Table—Select a table, view, or other object to import to a new or existing table within the same datasource (or different datasource if using the Import Export dialog).

    • SharePoint—Select a SharePoint list to import.

    Step two: Select the source data and specify import options.

    If you need help specifying the import options for the object you selected, please see the specific instructions in the sections that follow.

    Step three: You can add additional objects to the Import objects list by selecting another import object type.

    Notes: 

    • This adds multiple files of the same file type from a directory. For example, you can select xls or csv files, but you cannot select a combination of the two.
