Step 2 - Selecting files to import

At this step you should select source file(s) to be imported.

Click the Add File button to select the source file name using the Open file... dialog. Repeat this operation to add more source files (if necessary).

You can choose among the following types of the source data file:

• MS Excel
• MS Excel 2007
• MS Word 2007
• MS Access
• DBF
• TXT
• CSV
• HTML
• XML Data Packet
• XML MS Access
• XML Doc
• ODS
• ODT

The open file dialog allows you to set a filter on the source file format.

If you have selected the file of a format that is not supported the Select Import Type dialog appears.

Here you can select which import type for supported file formats should be applied to import the selected file.

To delete a file from the list, select it and click the Remove File button.

You can also change the order of the source files in the list using the Up and the Down buttons.

Note: For the spreadsheet files: if you need to import data from different sheets into different tables you are to include that multi-sheet spreadsheet file into the list several times (equal to the number of sheets to be imported to different tables).

When a file is selected the Select Table dialog appears:

File name

Displays the name of the imported file and full path.

Database field allows you to specify the target database.

Insert into existing table

Select this option to import data to the existing table. The active area contains the list of tables in the selected database. You can refresh the list by clicking the Refresh button.

Create new table

Use this option to create import destination table.

Schema

Use the drop-down list to select the schema in which the table should be created.

To change the target PostgreSQL table that has been already assigned to a source data file, select the table in the list and press the ellipsis button to call the Select Table dialog again.

When you are done, press the Next button to proceed to the next step.
