Import Sample Data

This document describes how to import the sample data into TiDB Cloud via the UI. The sample data used is the system data from Capital Bikeshare, released under the Capital Bikeshare Data License Agreement. Before importing the sample data, you need to have one TiDB cluster.

Amazon S3
Google Cloud

Open the Import page for your target cluster.
1. Log in to the TiDB Cloud console and navigate to the Clusters page of your project.
  Tip
  If you have multiple projects, you can click in the lower-left corner and switch to another project.
2. Click the name of your target cluster to go to its overview page, and then click Import in the left navigation pane.
Select Import data from S3.
If this is your first time importing data into this cluster, select Import From Amazon S3.
On the Import Data from Amazon S3 page, configure the following source data information:
- Import File Count: for the sample data, select Multiple files.
- Included Schema Files: for the sample data, select Yes.
  - To import schema and data from the source, select Yes. This option imports SQL scripts for creating a table and import corresponding table data stored in S3 into TiDB.
  - To import into pre-created tables, select No. This enables you to create tables in TiDB in advance and select the tables that you want to import data into. In this case, you can choose up to 1000 tables to import. You can click SQL Editor in the left navigation pane to create tables. For more information about how to use SQL Editor, see Explore your data with AI-assisted SQL Editor.
- Data Format: select SQL. TiDB Cloud supports importing compressed files in the following formats: .gzip, .gz, .zstd, .zst and .snappy. If you want to import compressed SQL files, name the files in the ${db_name}.${table_name}.${suffix}.sql.${compress} format, in which ${suffix} is optional and can be any integer such as '000001'. For example, if you want to import the trips.000001.sql.gz file to the bikeshare.trips table, you can rename the file as bikeshare.trips.000001.sql.gz. Note that you only need to compress the data files, not the database or table schema files. The Snappy compressed file must be in the official Snappy format. Other variants of Snappy compression are not supported.
- Folder URI or File URI: enter the sample data URI s3://tidbcloud-sample-data/data-ingestion/.
- Bucket Access: for the sample data, you can only use a Role ARN to access its bucket. For your own data, you can use either an AWS access key or a Role ARN to access your bucket.
  - AWS Role ARN: enter arn:aws:iam::801626783489:role/import-sample-access.
  - AWS Access Key: skip this option for the sample data.
If the region of the bucket is different from your cluster, confirm the compliance of cross region.
Click Connect > Start Import.

Open the Import page for your target cluster.
1. Log in to the TiDB Cloud console and navigate to the Clusters page of your project.
  Tip
  If you have multiple projects, you can click in the lower-left corner and switch to another project.
2. Click the name of your target cluster to go to its overview page, and then click Import in the left navigation pane.
Click Import Data in the upper-right corner.
If this is your first time importing data into this cluster, select Import From GCS.
On the Import Data from GCS page, configure the following source data information:
- Import File Count: for the sample data, select Multiple files.
- Included Schema Files: for the sample data, select Yes.
  - To import schema and data from the source, select Yes. This option imports SQL scripts for creating a table and import corresponding table data stored in S3 into TiDB.
  - To import into pre-created tables, select No. This enables you to create tables in TiDB in advance and select the tables that you want to import data into. In this case, you can choose up to 1000 tables to import. You can click SQL Editor in the left navigation pane to create tables.

For example, if you want to import the trips.000001.sql.gz file to the bikeshare.trips table, you can rename the file as bikeshare.trips.000001.sql.gz. Note that you only need to compress the data files, not the database or table schema files. Note that you only need to compress the data files, not the database or table schema files. The Snappy compressed file must be in the official Snappy format. Other variants of Snappy compression are not supported.
- Folder URI or File URI: enter the sample data URI gs://tidbcloud-samples-us-west1/.
- Bucket Access: you can use a GCS IAM Role to access your bucket. For more information, see Configure GCS access.
If the region of the bucket is different from your cluster, confirm the compliance of cross region.
Click Connect > Start Import.

When the data import progress shows Completed, you have successfully imported the sample data and the database schema to your database in TiDB Cloud.

Once the cluster finishes the data importing process, you will get the sample data in your database.

After connecting to the cluster, you can run some queries in your terminal to check the result, for example:

Get the trip records starting at "12th & U St NW":

use bikeshare;

select * from `trips` where start_station_name='12th & U St NW' limit 10;
