The process of connecting to a database using CSV files as an intermediary CSV files are a widely supported file standard for storing table data, and both iThink/STELLA and many database programs are able to read and write to them. Thanks to iThink and STELLA’s ability to import and export data via commonly used spreadsheet file formats, it is possible to use comma separated value (CSV) files as a means to create a connection to database applications.Įssentially, data can be moved between a database and iThink/STELLA by using a CSV file as a bridge. A question we periodically get from our customers is: Can iThink or STELLA connect to a database? Saving and pulling information to/from databases presents a lot of advantages for storing, organizing and sharing model data.
