Export Multiple Tables to a Database

Select menu: Spread | Export | Create Multiple Tables

Use this to export multiple sheets as separate tables into an ODBC database. Each sheet that is exported to the database will be created using its page name as the name of the table. All columns within each sheet will be transferred to the new table where the column names in the database are created using the column names from the sheet. To transfer a subset of columns or to specify column names in the database you use the Create New Database Table from Spreadsheet menu.

Before this menu appears, you will be prompted to choose the ODBC Database to add the tables to using the Select ODBC Database dialog.
