November 3, 2026 — Withdata Software announces FileToDB 3.7, a cross-platform desktop tool for importing files into databases. This release makes the command line import complete, fixes importing a folder of files, and corrects the way text and Excel files are read.
What’s New in FileToDB 3.7
1. A Complete Command Line for Import Jobs
One command imports a file into a table, and when the source carries its own table name — an HTML table or a SQL dump — that name is used. A run that imports nothing, or only some of the rows, now reports an error, so a batch file or a scheduled job can tell a clean import from a broken one.
FileToDB import --from=orders.csv --to="MySQL:user:pass@host:3306/shop" --table=orders
2. Importing a Folder
One filter can name several file types, so a folder that mixes CSV and TSV files is imported in one run. The “file name without extension” option is kept when the session is saved, and a filter that matches no file is reported as an error instead of an empty success.
3. Text Files Read Correctly
Skipping the first lines of a text file no longer shifts the columns, a doubled quote inside a quoted field becomes one quote, and UTF-16 files are recognised by name.
4. Excel: Every Sheet
Importing all worksheets no longer reads the next sheet’s header as a row or drops the last row of a sheet.
5. macOS and Downloads
On macOS the wizard now loads its steps when it is started from the main window, Back no longer reloads the step, and the preview no longer deadlocks. A download that fails says so, instead of leaving an old file behind.
