Upload a CSV File

You can upload a CSV or TSV file that contains a header row with the column names, and ClickHouse will preprocess a batch of rows to infer the data types of the columns, then insert the rows into a new table.

  1. Start by going to the Details page of your ClickHouse Cloud service:

    Select the file to upload

  4. ClickHouse shows you the data types that it inferred.
