EasyTable is a Joomla 1.5 component that allows you to import CSV files into Joomla as separate database tables.

Once imported the table can be configured to display some or all fields in either the list or detail views or both.

EasyTable for J! supports text fields, URL and image file names for each column of the imported table, to give you a better idea have a look at this screenshot of the EasyTable editing screen with helpful annotations.

Performance

Each CSV file you upload creates a new native table in the database your Joomla website uses. As such, searching and record retrieval is only limited by the capacity of your database server. The small amount of meta data and any options you specify for column data do not impact on your website thanks to the paginated presentation of records - no matter how many are in your tables.

Requirements

Joomla Version

1.5.14 ( although it may work on previous versions of Joomla 1.5 { 1.5.10 does have a known issue with packages that we can't address } ) EasyTable Pro requires 1.5.20 ( although it may work on previous versions) 1.5.25 ( is recommended )

Database

MySQL 5.0+ ( FC1 has run on the last version of MySQL 4.1 so it should work )

PHP Version

5.1+ ( it's 2012 people - you'll just have to live with it ).
