This extension provides the possibility to upload tabular data into a separate database. Apart from direc6t visualisation inside CKAN, this provides the possibility to directly work with raw data through Datastore API. Hence, this could be quite useful for HEF members as many of their data are stored in tabular form. In addition, it is possible to control access on the Datastore db.
Installations and Requirements
