# SQL Insert Into From Files

Insert a file into Pinot from Query Console

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is supported after the 0.11.0 release. Reference PR: <https://github.com/apache/pinot/pull/8557>
{% endhint %}

### Prerequisite

* Ensure you have available Pinot Minion instances deployed within the cluster.
* Pinot version is 0.11.0 or above

### How it works

1. Parse the query with the table name and directory URI along with a list of options for the ingestion job.
2. Call controller minion task execution API endpoint to schedule the task on minion
3. Response has the schema of table name and task job id.

### Usage Syntax

> INSERT INTO \[database.]table FROM FILE dataDirURI OPTION ( k=v ) \[, OPTION (k=v)]\*

### Example

```
SET taskName = 'myTask-s3';
SET input.fs.className = 'org.apache.pinot.plugin.filesystem.S3PinotFS';
SET input.fs.prop.accessKey = 'my-key';
SET input.fs.prop.secretKey = 'my-secret';
SET input.fs.prop.region = 'us-west-2';
INSERT INTO "baseballStats"
FROM FILE 's3://my-bucket/public_data_set/baseballStats/rawdata/'
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pinot.apache.org/build-with-pinot/ingestion/batch-ingestion/from-query-console.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
