Thank you. I will try this and provide feedback. Is there a limit on the number of records in thge CSV file? My immediate application has just over 100,000.
I am interested in the PubSchools for other reasons that may be of interest. 1) the instrinsics of the school data 2) use of geomodel to handle a relatively huge set of points, 3) the structure of the app being able to accomodate queries and list vs map for this scale of data. Thank you again & I will get back to you.
