Importing a CSV text file into Appery.io

Appery.io supports importing data files in CSV or JSON formats. In this post you will learn the procedure to import a CSV text file.

The file we are going to import is FFD.CSV saved on the files/folders of the local computer which has been imported recently into other data sources such as MS Access 2016 here and here; SAP SQL Anywhere 17; and Power BI. The data file is created by exporting the data from a Query on SQL Server 2012 using the Export/Import Wizard.

Log in to Appery.io and Click on Databases tab.

Importing a collection: A Collection in Appery.io is like a table in a relational database.
Now we can either create a collection or import one.

Since we are importing the data we click on the link, import a collection.

The Import data screen is displayed as shown. Provide a name for this collection - SQLServerData. Click on Browse... and locate the file FFD.CSV on your computer.

Click Import.
Data in the FFD.CSV file is now in the appery.io collection in the database Jan8_2017

Note that some of the letters in the ProductName came with a ? mark as these are not characters in the English language set.

Here is a sample of the data in the FFD.CSV file
