This section describes 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. CSV and FBV files can be imported from local or remote data sources, including cloud storage on Amazon S3, Azure, and Google Cloud. Parquet files can only be imported from Amazon S3 on AWS.
Importing Parquet files using IMPORT is only supported for files stored on Amazon S3 on AWS. Other cloud services that use an S3 compatible protocol are not supported.
