Good Evening,
I have a general question. I have a CSV file that i want to import into a database collection. I have stripped the majority of fields out of the CSV and the file size is still greater than 20mb.
I was just wondering if there was any way that we can get round this or is it a case of thats the maximum and thats it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ian
Hello Ian,
Depending on your current plan, you may have different amount of storage.
Could you please clarify what was your original file size ?
Hi Evgene,
My original file size is 40mb. There are abiut 490000 rows in the csv file i want to create as a database collection.

Ian,
You may thy this approach as a workaround:
"cut" file by number of lines up to 20MB, "put" the remainder to the same file
create a collection in a database for each file
write sc-script, which will copy data from one collection to another, by 100 or 1000 lines
We also consider the option of raising up the limit.
Hi Evgene,
in regards writing a script which will copy over one collection to another, do you have any tutorials or guidance on how you should do this, for example where you should write the code?
Even if you could just bullet point the steps needed to combine the data that would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ian
Hello Ian.
1) You can create a server-code script , if you need to copy files from one collection to another
1.1 Open Appery.io and click 'go to platform'
1.2 Find 'Servercode'
1.3 Click 'Create script',
but in your case, unfortunately, you need to make all manually.
