Do you mean the internal HSQL DB? I have noticed that those words are in the status bar. They are called Tables on the tool bar on the left side and when they are created in the bottom pane where all of the wording refers to them as ‘tables’. The way it is now you have to first paste the data into a CSV text file then import that file into the data base ‘table’. Probably because of the difference in the way the data is handled between a spreadsheet and a true data base. >>Information is put in its proper place in the data base table, sans formating. >This needs more information I suppose I should have said, “After selecting the cell that is the first cell of the columns/rows that I want to fill, I would click paste from a menu or Control-V. The data would then be entered into each cell relative to the starting cell without the formatting from the spreadsheet/document.” If I were to click on the wrong cell in the data base, then the columns/rows would not match the fields/records and I should get an error. In which case I would berate myself, and start over being more careful to match the cells. Another way of putting it would be I would like to enter data from the spreadsheet/document table to the data base ‘table’ as easily as from one spreadsheet table to another spreadsheet table. Without having to convert the data to a CSV text file first. You make it sound as if spreadsheets and SQL data bases are incompatible so that it cannot be done. There might be a chance that someone will come up with a way to do it sooner or later though. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
