Method, computer program product and device for importing a plurality of data sets into a system
First Claim
1. A method for importing a plurality of data sets into a system, each data set comprising data segments separated by a separator, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing data sets to be imported on a data storage medium;
reading said data sets from said data storage medium;
storing said data sets in a first table in said system, without dividing any of the data sets, while preserving a form of the data sets as it said form exists in the data storage medium;
reading said stored data sets from said first table; and
writing one or more data segments of each data set read from said first table into sub-tables thereby dividing the data sets, each sub-table comprising at least one data field.

Abstract
A method for importing a plurality of data sets into a system, each data set comprising data segments separated by a separator, the method comprising the steps of: providing data sets to be imported on a data storage medium, reading the data sets from the data storage medium, storing the data sets in a first table in the system, substantially without processing the data sets, reading the stored data sets from the first table, and writing one or more data segments of each data set into sub-tables, each sub-table comprising at least one data field. Furthermore, it is disclosed a computer program product and a device for importing a plurality of data sets into a system.

10. A device for importing data sets into a system, said data sets being stored on a storage medium, each data set comprising data segments separated by a separator said device comprising:
-
a reading means for reading said data sets from said data storage medium; a first table for storing said read data sets without dividing any of the data sets, while preserving a form of the data sets as it said form exists in the data storage medium; a reading means for reading said stored data sets from said first table; and a mapping means for mapping data segments of the data sets read from the first table into a plurality of sub-tables, each sub-table comprising at least one data field for storing one or more data segments of each data set.
