<p>This article describes the steps needed to create a table via import from a .CSV(Comma Separated Values) file.<br /><br />The purpose of the database is to store information; the place where data is stored is called a table. A table consists of rows and columns. A row, also called a record, contains information about each item you are tracking in the table. A column, also known as a field, stores each characteristic you are tracking in the table. <br /><br />Here is an example of a simple database table, containing company information. The first row, listed in bold, contains the names of the table columns:<br /><br /><strong>Company</strong>                 <strong>Address</strong>                        <strong>City</strong>         <strong>St</strong>    <strong>ZipCode</strong>   <strong>Webpage</strong><br /><br />The Bradshaw Group   2313 Providence Ct.         Naperville   IL     60565      www.bradshaw.com<br /><br />Venture Literary         8895 Town Center Drive    San Diego  CA    92122      www.ventureliterary.com<br /><br /><br />We recommend including header information in the first row of your CSV file, as this aids in setting up the columns in your table.<br /><br />To create a table via import, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select Tables from the primary toolbar<br /></li>
<li>Select Import from the secondary toolbar<br /></li>
<li>Browse for the’ csv file’ containing information to import<br /></li>
<li>Check the box ‘first row contains header information’, if your import file contains header information.<br /></li>
<li>Select Create a new Table<br />
<ul>

</ul>
<br /></li>
