Import and export | ||
================= | ||
|
||
In addition to the standard Import and Export tab, you can also import an SQL file directly by dragging and dropping | ||
it from your local file manager to the phpMyAdmin interface in your web browser. | ||
|
||
Open Document Spreadsheet | ||
------------------------- | ||
|
||
When importing an ODS speadsheet, the spreadsheet must be named in a specific way in order to make the | ||
import as simple as possible. | ||
|
||
Table name | ||
~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
During import, phpMyAdmin uses the sheet name as the table name; you should rename the | ||
sheet in your spreadsheet program in order to match your existing table name (or the table you wish to create, | ||
though this is less of a concern since you could quickly rename the new table from the Operations tab). | ||
|
||
Column names | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
You should also make the first row of your spreadsheet a header with the names of the columns (this can be | ||
accomplished by inserting a new row at the top of your spreadsheet). When on the Import screen, select the | ||
checkbox for "The first line of the file contains the table column names;" this way your newly imported | ||
data will go to the proper columns. | ||
