DBObjectHandle :: Import - Import data from XML or OIF

Import allows importing data for one or more extents from an external file. Data can be imported from XML, CSV (ESDF) or OIF format. The import format type will be derived from the file extension. The extension .xml causes import from an xml format file. .csv and .esdf will export data from an extended self delimiter format (ESDF) file. All other extensions will refer to an object interchange format (OIF) file.

All data from the input file, which can be mapped to database entities, will be imported. Mapping rules and input file structure can be defined in the definition section (header) of the import file.
