COPY

Copy data between a file and a table.

Synopsis

COPY table_ident FROM 'path'

Description

COPY FROM copies data from the filesystem of any cluster node to a specified table.

The files to be copied from need to be accessible from the crate server process and the name must be specified from the viewpoint of the server.

The input files need to have one line per record. Records are formatted in JSON.

For examples see: Importing data.

Parameters

table_ident:The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing table where the data should be put.
path:A file or directory path with an optional PCRE file pattern suffix. If the path is relative, it is based on the absolute path of the node’s data location.
