The import wizard from Calc to Base is not perfect, so unless one is
absolutely sure that the data in your CSV or Calc file exactly matches
the definition of the fields in the table, then one should expect either
import errors or failure. Particular things to watch out for :

- date / time / datetime representations
- text values over integers
- null fields
- values intended to be used in an autoincrement field
- boolean values
- memo fields
- unsigned INT field values
- zero-fill values

etc, etc
