SaveToDB Wizards Menu

Database Connection Wizard: The Database Connection Wizard enables connections to database tables, views, stored procedures, as well as DBF, Excel, and CSV files.
You can later use the query list to switch the active database object.
Web Data Connection Wizard: The Web Data Connection Wizard facilitates connections to web data sources, including OData, REST API, and DBGate data services.
The add-in supports web data in formats like JSON, XML, HTML, CSV, and plain text.
You can merge loaded data into databases using the Data Merge Wizard first, followed by the Merge button in the Reload Menu.
OData, REST API, and DBGate objects function similarly to database objects, allowing you to save data changes if supported.
Text File Connection Wizard: The Text File Connection Wizard connects to CSV, HTML, XML, JSON, and plain text files using the built-in text file data provider.
You can reload data later using the SaveToDB add-in's Reload button.
Pivot Table Connection Wizard: The Pivot Table Connection Wizard creates pivot tables linked to database tables, views, stored procedures, web data sources, data services, or text files.
Unlike the other wizards, it connects the pivot table directly to a data source.
Alternatively, you can connect through a table and create a pivot table based on it.
If the object supports saving changes, you can use the pivot table as an editor.
DB RTD Connection Wizard: The DB RTD Connection Wizard creates a template table for loading database data using RTD formulas from a companion DB RTD product.
Use DB RTD as an alternative to creating multiple pivot tables or linking table data with Excel formulas.
Data Publishing Wizard: The Data Publishing Wizard allows you to create a database table, export active Excel table data, and insert a new connected database table.
Afterward, you can save and reload data from a database, just like other users.
Additionally, use the Table Format Wizard to save the table format and formulas to a database.
Data Merge Wizard: The Data Merge Wizard merges data loaded from any data source into a database table.
You can prepare database table columns using Excel formula columns.
Use the Merge button in the Save Menu to repeat the merging process later.
Connection Change Wizard: The Connection Change Wizard allows you to change connection details such as server, database, login, or password for a group of tables.
Table Format Wizard: The Table Format Wizard saves, loads, and clears Excel table formats in a database or data service.
Other users can load the same format when it’s saved, including regular and conditional formatting, formulas, etc.
Window Wizard: The Window Wizard allows adding and arranging related windows.
Note that Microsoft changed window management in Excel 2013, so this feature is available only in Excel 2007 and Excel 2010.
SaveToDB 9 and higher does not include this feature either.
Developer Tools: This menu contains items specifically for developers.
See the descriptions below.
Online Examples: The SaveToDB add-in offers numerous online samples to demonstrate its features.
Click the Refresh List button to load the latest samples, then open any sample.
Most samples also allow saving data changes.
You can find sample source codes in the SaveToDB SDK.
Application Installer: The Application Installer lets you install, check, update, or uninstall SaveToDB Frameworks.
The SaveToDB Frameworks configure add-in features on the server-side and include tools for database developers and administrators.
Application Workbooks: The Application Workbooks wizard creates application workbooks using server-side definitions.
Developers can save these workbook definitions, enabling users to create workbooks anytime instead of sending them via email or publishing on third-party resources.
Each user can only see and create applicable workbooks, as the SaveToDB add-in checks user permissions on the objects used.
Developers can generate workbooks published with the SaveToDB Frameworks to edit and save add-in configurations.
