Is there an easy way to import (append) data into an existing table? The only option I can see is to import into a new table.

Thanks,
Aeneas

Hello,

Do you mean database collections? Or what table?

No I mean add data to a table. The only option is to import a csv file to a new table but I want to add to an existing table. This is static data so needs to be continually added and updated.

Aeneas,

Could you please show us screen shot of what you are trying to do?

I have a csv text file and want to be able to add to existing table. Nothing to do with app only database so no screenshot

Hi Aeneas,

Could you please clarify this, as it's not very clear for us.

If you want to update existing table in database, then it's not possible now.
Here is the quote from our documentation:
[quote:]
Note: You can’t update an existing collection by uploading a new CSV or JSON file. Instead, you can delete the current collection and create another one from the new file. If all the column names stay the same, there are no changes needed for REST services or mapping.

Or you have implemented this kind of table in your app? -- http://api.jquerymobile.com/table/
