I am just getting started with Google Web Toolkit and Google App Engine and have a quick question. I think I understand how to use the datastore now but I was wondering if there is a way that I can quickly create a "database" with static data from an excel sheet? I just need to add some data for a proof of concept later this week.
I am picturing something similar to a SQL database browser where I can just import the data?
I developing in Eclipse with appropriate plugins开发者_开发知识库.
Thanks, Rob
The easiest way to do this would be to save your spreadsheet as a CSV file, then use the bulkloader to load it into the datastore.
Your best bet is probably to write something to handle uploading it, or to handle processing it on the server.
However, you should also look at the bulk loader. It might be able to save you a little bit of time.
Here is the API (Google Documents List API) that "allows client applications to programmatically access and manipulate user data stored with Google Documents".
