Learn how to use the IMPORT statement to load data from files into Exasol.
You can use the IMPORT statement to load data from CSV, FBV, and Parquet files with the native bulk loader in Exasol. This is the fastest way to import data into an Exasol database. Data can be imported from cloud storage services such as Amazon S3, Azure, and Google Cloud, or from files stored locally or on remote file servers using FTP/FTPS, SFTP, and HTTP/HTTPS.
All Parquet import features are fully supported in Exasol 2026.1.0 and later. Earlier versions have only partial support for Parquet. For more details about which features are supported in your Exasol version, see the Release notes.
