Import Airtable to NocoDB A complete import of your Airtable to any MySQL, Postgres, SQLite and SQL server databases within minutes

NocoDB offers a streamlined process for seamlessly transferring your Airtable database to various database management systems, including MySQL, Postgres and SQLite, in just a matter of minutes. This feature is particularly useful for users who wish to migrate their Airtable database to a more robust and scalable database management system.

:::info Import from Airtable is in beta version. See Importing Airtable To NocoDB for the migration notes. :::

:::info To proceed, you must have valid Airtable Credentials. Ensure you have access to the following information from your Airtable account:

Below are 3 simple steps

  1. Go to your Base dashboard, click on Import Data

    import data

  2. Select Airtable

    import data airtable

  3. Import configurations

    1. API key / Personal Access Token
    2. Shared Base ID / URL
    3. Configuration options [Optional]
    4. Click Import

Configuration options

  1. Import Data: You have the option to disable this feature to import only the schema information of tables and views, excluding actual data records.
  2. Import Secondary Views: If you disable this option, only the primary grid view for each table will be imported, omitting any secondary views.
  3. Import Rollup Columns: By deactivating this choice, you can skip the import of Rollup columns, which aggregate data from other columns.
  4. Import Lookup Columns: You can choose not to import Lookup columns by disabling this option. Lookup columns are used to reference data from another table.
  5. Import Attachments Columns: Disable this option if you wish to exclude the import of Attachment columns, which typically store file attachments associated with records.
  6. Import Formula Columns: Please be aware that this option is not currently available for use, and therefore, cannot be selected for import at this time.
