At this moment Kexi allows you to import a csv file and creates a new table from it. However, there's no way to only add the data contained in a csv into an existing table. One could argue that you can delete the table and create a new one from the import file but there are a number of cases in which that won't work, for example: 1. you want to merge data from a table and a csv file with the same structure 2. you want to import data into a table which is used in queries and/or relations and you do not want to do again that work 3. one of the CSV fields should be unique. Since there's no way to achieve that, you have to import the CSV and edit the table's design, but (don't know why) the data is deleted as soon as you make any changes into it Hope anyone can implement a solution for this. Regards Reproducible: Always Actual Results: A new table is created from the CSV file. Expected Results: User should decide whether creating a new table from CSV or just adding data into an existing table

Is it really implemented in this version? Should I do something to use this feature? Thank you
