Staging Data Files from a Local File System¶

Staging the Data Files¶

User Stage

The following example uploads a file named data.csv in the /data directory on your local machine to your user stage and prefixes the file with a folder named staged.

Note that the @~ character combination identifies a user stage.

• Linux or macOS

  PUT file:///data/data.csv @~/staged;
  

  Copy

• Windows

  PUT file://C:\data\data.csv @~/staged;
  

  Copy

Table Stage

The following example uploads a file named data.csv in the /data directory on your local machine to the stage for a table named mytable.

Note that the @% character combination identifies a table stage.

• Linux or macOS

  PUT file:///data/data.csv @%mytable;
  

  Copy

• Windows

  PUT file://C:\data\data.csv @%mytable;
  

  Copy

Named Stage

The following example uploads a file named data.csv in the /data directory on your local machine to a named internal stage called my_stage. See Choosing an Internal Stage for Local Files for information on named stages.

Note that the @ character by itself identifies a named stage.

• Linux or macOS

  PUT file:///data/data.csv @my_stage;
  

  Copy

• Windows

  PUT file://C:\data\data.csv @my_stage;
  

  Copy
