Bret, you have two options:
1. For LARGE once-off bulk imports (more than 50K cases), consider using Kettle or similar 2. For smaller bulk imports that might have to be repeated, I would insert cases one by one using API calls. A bit slow, but you can in general manage 5-10,000 cases per day - depending on server performance etc, of course. regards Calle On 14 May 2018 at 13:04, Bret Watson <[email protected]> wrote: > So to expand on this... > > I think we have somewhere around five tables, how do I carry IDs from > one table to another?
