## Hi! I want to migrate from Airtable into Nocodb and I want to use .csv-upload function for this purpose. I have few questions:

#### 

#### 1. Does .csv-upload works with relational fields (“link to” in Airtable)? I mean, if a cell in .csv will contain primary value from linked table, will NocoDB add connection in target table?

#### 2. How I can upload photos in the Attachment field? If the .csv will contain url of the picture, will upload function add photo into the cell?

#### 3. Could you advise to me another way for migration?

#### 1. Uploading csv with relational columns (LinkToAnotherRecord, Lookup, Formula. rollup etc) is not possible

#### 2. I will ping a link for this. with just URL it wont upload the file.

#### 3. I’ve seen users use something like sequin to migrate from airtable to a postgrse db and then connect nocodb to that database.

#### We outgrown the 100 000 records per database limit. Also we have a platform works on [Bubble.io](http://Bubble.io), and it pulls up the data from Airtable. Airtable has API-requests limit with 5 requests per second. Cause of that our platform works very slow.
