The journal has a rule that forbids loading external files and the entire tex file must be self-contained in a single .tex file. Therefore all \DTLloaddb{aaa.csv} must be replaced. Is there a way to put the .csv file into the main tex file and make \DTLloaddb load certain lines of the main .tex file?

    You're looking for the filecontents environment. This site has many example, e.g. here – mbert Nov 04 '22 at 02:14

    Alternatively, if you use Datatool to populate a tabular environment or an Appendix or something, you can also compile just the table or the Appendix separately to a pdf and include that as an image, e.g., \begin{table}\includegraphics{mytable.pdf}\caption{...}\label{...}\end{table}. – Marijn Nov 04 '22 at 09:32
  • sorry include an external pdf is not the solution that fits this scenario, is there a way to define a database from an "internal" csv file? – he wei Nov 05 '22 at 21:50
  • Would you be more specific please? How to define a csv database without resorting to external csv file?? – he wei Nov 05 '22 at 21:51
