The datatools package can read a .csv file and produce a LaTeX table
(which the docs refer to as a database). The LaTeX code is straight-forward,
but I've not succeeded in implementing it within the LyX environment.
I set up a float table and entered the caption. Under that I inserted ERT:
\DTLloaddb{basin_characteristics}{basin_characteristics.csv}
\DTLdisplaydb{basin_characteristics.csv}
but this does not insert the data into a tabular environment even if I try
to print a preview.
I'd greatly appreciate a clue on how to import my
'basin_characteristics.csv' file to a table so I can futz with it and make
it pretty.
