Importing sample text into Appery.io

Web based appery.io has both front-end designer as well as back-end database support for both relational and NoSQL databases. The front-end can be used to create mobile apps, both web and hybrid applications. For creating a simple app to look at data from the back-end, a sample data can be prepared by importing a text files saved as a CSV file.

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.
