Import Database

Import an SQL File into Five

Importing an sql file will create the application's database schema and associated data, however, it will not create the application definition in Five. If you are working in the Cloud, you will need the role of Administrator or Control to import an sql file.


tip
If you imported an exported fdf file all the data in the database will be automatically imported with your application schema, so you do not need to import the database for this scenario!
