Data loading from Excel to Database

I'm encountering an issue when attempting to load multiple files defined in tFileList using Excel metadata in Talend. It consistently results in a Java "OutOfMemory" error. Surprisingly, this problem doesn't occur when using CSV metadata. Since my task involves loading numerous Excel files into a database table, I'm seeking insights into the root cause and possible solutions. I've already tried adjusting memory configurations, but the problem still persists.

HY there i can see your post and i must say

 

  1. Prepare Your Excel Data:
  • Ensure your Excel spreadsheet is properly formatted with a clear structure. Each column should have a header, and rows should contain data.
  1. Choose a Database Tool:
  • Use a database management tool or interface to interact with your database. This could be a command-line interface, a GUI tool, or a programming language with database libraries (e.g., Python with
  • pandas
    • and database connectors).
  1. Export Excel Data:
  • If your database tool supports it, you can directly import data from Excel. Otherwise, you might need to save your Excel data as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
  1. Create a Table in the Database:
  • Make sure you have a corresponding table in your database to accommodate the Excel data. The table structure (columns, data types, etc.) should match the structure of your Excel data.

 

Thanks and regards
