I've got a CSV file with approximately 300 columns. Here's a sample of the columns:
The file is almost 100mb.
I've imported it into fusion tables using their GUI import through the browser. Here's what it looks like after import:
As you can see all the way to the right the column is getting cut off:
However, it does indeed recognize that there are more columns:
How do I view the rest of the columns? What am I doing wrong?
Use "Tools > Select columns" to choose what columns to show. By default only the first 50 are shown.

So I wanted to import a CSV to make a new table, and while it's successful, I had 2 issues.
First is, while it says drag and drop works, mine doesn't, it shows an icon which means wrong format. However browsing the storage works normally.
Second is making the first row the column names. Even though I ticked the checkbox which function is for that, while it did set the column names, it still used the first row as the part of the data too. So the first row of the created table contains the names.
Why is that?
Here's the screenshot of the drag and drop failure.
so I am currently testing one web application, and for that I need to import an excel file to phpmyadmin.
I need to import the file as an *.ods. To do that, I know I need to rename the file so that it matches the table name, and set values in first row to match columns. However, whenever I try to import the file, I get an error 1117: too many columns, listing all the unecessary empty columns in my ods file (F,G,H,I,J....).
Is there any way to remove those columns, or have them be ignored?
A lot of things can wrong when you're importing a spreadsheet. If your boss highlighted row 70,000 the color "invisible" (yes kids, that's a color now), the row will stretch into infinity and give a too many columns error. Save as csv and you delete all that mess, but then you have to make sure your delimiters are nice and neat or your fields will wander into their neighbor's columns.
I'm having an access tool where I'm importing an excel file with table information. The system is creating a new table with this info with column fields (F1,F2,F3, etc.) and under it there is 10 lines with data and after that a table. I need the information from this table to be appended in another table in Access. I'm having the code and the append query, but sometimes some of the columns in excel file are change their places and this is a problem for my table 2. I would like to ask you is it possible somehow to change automatically the nameing of the column fields in the first table when I'm importing the info from the excel sheet.
Thank you in advance! - Here is a screenshot. The yellow one to go to the grey one.
I am currently experiencing difficulties when trying to append data to existing tables.
I have about 100 CSV files that I would like to create a single table from; all the tables have different column structures but this isn't really an issue as the associated field names are in the first row of each file.
First, I create a new table from one of the files indicating that my field names are in the first row. I change the particular fields that have more than 256 characters to memo fields and import the data.
I then add to the table the fields that are missing.
Now, when I try to append more data, I again select that my field names are in the first row, but now I receive a truncation error for data that is destined for the memo fields.
Why is this error occurring? Is there a workaround for this?
edit
Here is an update regarding what I've attempted to solve the problem:
Importing and appending tables will not work unless they have the exact same structure. Moreover, you cannot create a Master table with all fields and properties set, then append all tables to the master. You still receive truncation errors.
I took CodeSlave's advice and attempted to upload the table, set the fields that I needed to be Memo fields, and then append the table. This worked, but again, the memo fields are not necessarily in the same order in every data file, and I have 1200 data files to import into 24 tables. Importing the data table by table is just NOT an option for this many tables.
I expect what you are experiencing is a mismatch between the source file (CSV) and the destination table (MS Access).
MS Access will make some guesses about what the field types are in you CSV file when you are doing the import. However, it's not perfect. Maybe it's seeing a string as a memo or float as a real. It's impossible for me to know without seeing the data.
What I would normally do, is:
Import the second CSV into it's own (temporary) table
Clean up the second table
Then use an SQL query to append those records from the second table to the first table.
Delete the second table
(repeat for each CSV file you are loading).
If I knew ahead of time that every CSV file was already identical in structure, I'd be inclined to instead concatenate them all together into one, and only have to do the import/clean-up once.
Had a very similar problem - trying to import a CSV file with large text fields (>255 chars) into an existing table. Declared the fields as memo but were still being truncated.
Solution: start an import to link a table and then click on the Advanced button. Create a link specification which defines the relevant fields as memo fields and then save the link specification. Then cancel the import. Do another import this time the one you want which appends to an existing table. Click on the Advanced button again and select the link specification you just created. Click on finish and the data should be imported correctly without truncation.
I was having this problem, but noticed it always happened to only the first row. So by inserting a blank row in the csv it would import perfectly, then you need to remove the blank row in the Access table.

I tried posting this question earlier but was unsuccessful so I'm trying again
I imported a shape (set of points) file into postgres and have a table (hist_info) with additional data also in postgres. I tried creating a VIEW with data that I need from each files but for a reason I can't figure out as to why my GIS layer (created in geoserver) is blank. A SELECT * FROM new_view shows there is data in the table created by the VIEW....
So my questions are
1. What data must I include in the VIEW in order for the newly created VIEW will display as points and show the added data when a point is clicked on?
What is the best way to combine the two files so that I can display the data from the hist_info table when someone click on one of the points on the map displayed in their browse?
Thanks for the help!!

Chris
You need to insert a record in the geometry_columns table or GeoServer won't read your view's geometry. Have a look at this:
