Importing Data to a New Table

1. On the Database menu, click Import Data. The Data Import wizard opens.
2. On the Data Import > Source file tab, specify a required import format, a location of Source data, and then click Next.

3. On the Data Import > Destination tab, select a desination table for import and then click Next:

   • Specify an Oracle connection and a database
   • Select New table and enter a name of a table to import the data to.

   To create or edit Oracle server connections, use the corresponding options.

4. On the Data Import > Options tab, specify additional options to customize the import and click Next.
5. On the Data Import > Data formats tab, set data formats for the Source data and click Next.

6. On the Data Import > Mapping tab, dbForge Studio will automatically create and map all the columns in a Target database to the Source columns.

   You can see the Target columns on the top and the Source columns at the bottom of the wizard page. To remap columns, click Source column fields and select required columns from the drop-down list.

   Note

   To cancel mapping of all the columns, click Clear Mappings on the toolbar. To restore it, click Fill Mapping.

   You can edit the Target column properties by double-clicking them on the top grid. Select the Key check box for a column with a primary key and click Next.

7. On the Data Import > Output tab, select output options to manage the data import script and click Next:

   • Open the data import script in the internal editor
   • Save the data import script to a file
   • Import data directly to the database
8. On the Data Import > Errors handling tab, select the way to handle errors during import, specify logging options, and click Import.
9. On the progress page, dbForge Studio will notify you whether the import completed successfully or failed. To view the log file, click Show log file.

10. To close the wizard, click Finish.

    Note

    You can save the import settings as a template for later use. To save the selected settings, click Save on any wizard tab. Next time you should only select a template and specify a location of the Source data - all the settings will be already set. For more information, see Saving and Using Templates.
