Step 5: Bulk Import of Data

Overview

This page details step 5 of a 5-step procedure for deploying Single-Node Enterprise ColumnStore with Object storage.

This step bulk imports data to Enterprise ColumnStore.

Interactive commands are detailed. Alternatively, the described operations can be performed using automation.

Import the Schema

Before data can be imported into the tables, create a matching schema.

On the primary server, create the schema:

1. For each database that you are importing, create the database with the statement:

1. For each table that you are importing, create the table with the statement:

Import the Data

Enterprise ColumnStore supports multiple methods to import data into ColumnStore tables.

cpimport

MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore includes , which is a command-line utility designed to efficiently load data in bulk. Alternative methods are available.

To import your data from a TSV (tab-separated values) file, on the primary server run :

LOAD DATA INFILE

When data is loaded with the LOAD DATA INFILE statement, MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore loads the data using , which is a command-line utility designed to efficiently load data in bulk. Alternative methods are available.

To import your data from a TSV (tab-separated values) file, on the primary server use LOAD DATA INFILE statement:

Import from Remote Database

MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore can also import data directly from a remote database. A simple method is to query the table using the statement, and then pipe the results into , which is a command-line utility that is designed to efficiently load data in bulk. Alternative methods are available.

To import your data from a remote MariaDB database:
