Disallow/regulate uploading data to an existing table #21

Closed JackWilb closed 4 years ago

Related to multinet-app/multinet-client#20. We should alert users if they're uploading a table and there is a name conflict. We should give the option to overwrite or to abort the upload.

Right now the current behavior is to append the files which doesn't seem like the best option

Is this specific to the CSV uploader?

JackWilb commented 4 years ago

Looks like I'm wrong, it doesn't append. It overwrites the table/ does nothing in uploader, I can't tell which because the server responds with 200 and the correct json response. This happens for all the types

waxlamp commented 4 years ago

I thought the CSV uploader does append to the target table, which, as you mentioned, is not ideal.

Do you mind investigating a bit and updating the initial comment in this thread with a description of what happens?
