To perform import of table data from text file it is required to do the following:
have import file, that is, the file of data in one of the possible text formats – with separators or with fixed field width;
select the table to which data from import file will be imported. This step is necessary only if import to existing table is performed;
perform the command Import+From Text Format With Separators or Import+From Fixed Text Format, select one of the import modes: To Selected Table, With Updating Table or With Adding Table. Import mode with adding table can be performed only if destination GDB is opened in exclusive access mode.
After the import mode is selected the procedure of setting and performing import is started. This procedure consists of several steps;
perform import setting and import data from the file to the table.
Further in this chapter we will examine actions on performing import setting, provide recommendations how to eliminate errors which appear in import operations and describe the format of import settings file.
