= Database import

The import file has to be a text file (with `.txt` at the end) encoded in UTF-8. It has to *strictly* follow the required format.

You can take a look at the file link:example_database_import.txt[] for an example.

== Required manipulation on the web interface

The following tables can not be imported from a file and have to be manipulated on the web interface.

* Semester
* Program
* Part
* User
* Assistant
* Experiment

== Optional values
If an attribute is optional/nullable and it has no value, then `NULL` (uppercase) has to be written.
