Paste Data (Excel, CSV, TSV, JSON)

Use Paste Data for quick, small imports from spreadsheets or local files.

Size Limit

Paste Data is optimized for smaller imports. Payloads are limited to ~10MB. For larger datasets, use S3 External or PostgreSQL import.

Step 1: Paste and Parse Your Data

Paste your tabular data into the editor. Nile will auto‑detect format and schema, and you can override:

Format: Auto, CSV, TSV, Excel, JSON
Delimiter: Auto, Tab, Comma, Pipe, Semicolon
Quote: Double quote, single quote, or none
Header: Toggle if the first row contains column names

Paste data and configure parsing options.

Step 2: Preview and Adjust Schema

Review the preview grid and click column headers to adjust inferred data types. Use this step to ensure date and numeric types are interpreted correctly.

Confirm column types before creating the table.

Provide a Table Name and optional description, then click Save as Table. The table will be created as a managed table in Nile.
