Re: Import thousands of records via import wizard
The import wizard at version 692 (I would have tried it on a 693 but my fresh install and upgrade over night on a laptop crashed with an error so I gave up on that), seems to only be able to import from a tab/csv etc about 4456 records.
In our data exchange with BMERC I am looking to import over 600,000 records in this format from an export from MapMate. Now, this equates to over 150 imports. Matching/adding: people, locations, species etc on my test import of the first batch took a while.
So, has anyone ever tried to import such a large amount of data from another system, like MapMate, using the import wizard, and been successful? Or have you done it another way, or not?
Would love to hear from you :)
Thanks
