Question

I\'ve got a question how to import a .csv file into a Oracle Forms application. We are using Oracle Forms 11g on a Oracle 12c Database.

You can just use webutil to show a filechooser to select the file and upload it to the application server. If you use a shared directory between the application server and the db server you can use an external table to show the input of the file to the user. And then after the button you just insert the data from the external table in another table.
