Обсуждение: Pasting of Excel data into tables
Is it possible to paste Excel data into tables, presuming the data and structure is similar to the Postgres table?
It looks like I ought to be able to paste copied data into the Edit Data dialog, but that paste only ends up in one cell. E.g., if I have a table with 5 columns, and I copy a 5 col x 1000 row Excel spreadsheet and then paste it into the row in Edit Data marked *, all the data goes into the first cell.
I'm asking because if this doesn't work, looks like I need to do an import from CSV. That's not the end of the world, but it's much less convenient than copy-paste, which works in some other apps.

The "Edit Data" window misses some interesting features, I totally agree. Right now, if you paste something, it goes into one cell. > I'm asking because if this doesn't work, looks like I need to do an > import from CSV.

The new tool I'm working on will make it easier to import a CSV file. To go further, we would need to find someone motivated to work on the "Edit Data" window. -- Guillaumehttp://www.postgresql.frhttp://dalibo.com
