Import Example
Let's consider some data that represents yoga courses. We have a course
table where each course
refers to a beautiful_place
(stored in the beautiful_place
table).
Here we are importing the following 3 entries to the course
table.

The import will produce the following result:
For the 1st entry:
- Find the relation
beautiful_place
with id2
.
If it exists in db, the relation entry is updated in db with the imported data. If it doesn't, the relation entry is created in db with the imported data. - Update the
createdBy
andupdatedBy
fields with the id of the user importing the data. - Create the
course
with the rightbeautiful_place
id.
- Find the relation
For the 2nd entry: same process
For the 3rd entry:
- The relation
beautiful_place
is a number. Since the relation already exists in db, thecourse
will be linked to the rightbeautiful_place
. If the number was referring to the id of a non existentbeautiful_place
, the relation would fallback tonull
. - Same last 2 steps as the 1st entry.
