Import Sample Data

This document describes how to import 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.

1. Navigate to the Clusters page.

2. Find the area of your cluster and click Import Data in the upper-right corner of the area. The Data Import Task page is displayed.

   Tip

   Alternatively, you can also click the name of your cluster on the Clusters page and click Import Data in the upper-right corner.

3. Fill in the import parameters:

   • AWS
   • GCP

   If your TiDB cluster is hosted by AWS (the Developer Tier is hosted by AWS by default), fill in the following parameters:

   • Data Source Type: AWS S3.
   • Bucket URL: enter the sample data URL s3://tidbcloud-samples/data-ingestion/.
   • Data Format: select TiDB Dumpling.
   • Setup Credentials: enter arn:aws:iam::385595570414:role/import-sample-access for Role-ARN.
   • Target Cluster: fill in the Username and Password fields.
   • DB/Tables Filter: leave this field blank.

   If your TiDB cluster is hosted by GCP, fill in the following parameters:

   • Data Source Type: Google Cloud Stroage.
   • Bucket URL: enter the sample data URL gcs://tidbcloud-samples-us-west1.
   • Data Format: select TiDB Dumpling.
   • Target Cluster: fill in the Username and Password fields.
   • DB/Tables Filter: leave this field blank.

4. Click Import.

   A warning message about the database resource consumption is displayed.

5. Click Confirm.

   TiDB Cloud starts validating whether it can access the sample data in the specified bucket URL. After the validation is completed and successful, the import task starts automatically.

The data import process will take 5 to 10 minutes. When the data import progress bar shows Success, 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.

You can run some queries to check the result, for example:

1. 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;
