Importing a CSV file

Updated 2026-07-28 · 1 min read

Load a delimited file into a table, with the format guessed for you and a preview before anything is written.

Choose Import CSV from the table or connection menu and pick your file. AddisDB reads the beginning of it, guesses the delimiter, quoting and header row, and shows you a preview — with every guess editable if it got one wrong.

Before it writes

  • Map each column in the file to a column in the table.
  • Confirm the header row — the first row is treated as headers by default.
  • Review the preview rows to catch a wrong delimiter before it becomes a bad import.

It is still a write

An import inserts rows, so it goes through the same safety gate as any other write. A read-only or production connection stays protected until you grant edit access, and AddisDB shows that state up-front instead of letting the import fail at the end.
