I am using PB 2022. This is the first time that I have tried to import a CSV file into the Database Painter and then save/update the rows into a table. I am looking at the Users Guide Manipulating Data section:
You can import data from an external source and then save the imported data in the database.
To import data
-
Select Rows>Import from the menu bar.
The Select Import File dialog box displays.
-
Specify the file from which you want to import the data.
The types of files you can import into the Database painter are shown in the Files of Type drop-down list.
-
Click Open.
PowerBuilder reads the data from the file. You can click the Save Changes button or select Rows>Update to add the new rows to the database.
I am at the point where I have imported the CSV file into the Results tab in the Database Painter. The Save Changes button and Rows->Update are greyed out.
I must be missing something but I do not know what it is.
