Wizard Advanced Tutorial

Import wizard - tutorial for advanced functions

The second part of the import wizard tutorial is dedicated to some advanced functions of the import wizard. When data are imported from the file formats DELTA or SDD, no import mapping information is stored, because all logical references are completely satisfied within the data files. The starting point of this tutorial, which was taken from a real life example, is a database imported from a DELTA file. For the datasets a lot of pictures are available on a web server. A web application reads the data from the original database (where the DELTA file was generated) and gets the information about available pictures from a second database to display both in a browser. From the original databases several tables were extracted and now the pictures shall be appended to the imported data.
