Rails Load Csv Files
Ruby on Rails - Import Data from a CSV file. I would like to import data from a CSV file into an existing database table. I do not want to save the CSV file, just take the data from it and put it into the existing table. I am using Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.
In the last episode we talked about importing from CSV files to create records in your rails application, and in this episode we're going to talk about exporting those same records, we're going to use the same CSV libraries before, and you're going to want to make sure that you have a require 'csv' inside your application.rb, so put that right before require 'rails/all' require statement and restart your rails application.

In here we simply need to userscontroller.rb.
Before working on software, my job, like so many others, used to revolve around excel spreadsheets. They’re a valuable tool for organizations to store and manipulate large quantities of data. So naturally upon getting involved with Rails, I knew it would be helpful to learn how to upload spreadsheet data into web interfaces for organizations and employees to view, share, and add to their data. Although it’s possible to do this manually using a graphical user interface, one of the core tenants of programming is that if you’re going to do something repeatedly, you should probably automate it.

What could that possibly mean? When programming, it's vital to adopt a mindset of accepting and appreciating errors. Although they can be scary and naturally frustrating at first, errors are actually useful and insightful ways to de-bug and improve your application. In this instance, our user model is unable to find the attribute 'User' that's specified in our original CSV file because I never included it in the original model creation. In order to rectify the error, we can just add a new column to the database with.
