Import Parquet

Preserve column types and query immediately.

Parquet import basics

  1. 1
    Attach a .parquet file.
  2. 2
    Confirm the table name.
  3. 3
    Query it like any other table.

Parquet files import quickly and keep column types intact.

Types are preserved

Parquet keeps the schema defined in the file. There is no extra type detection step during import.

Tip

If you need a different type, use CAST or TRY_CAST in your SQL.

Plan limits still apply

Parquet imports follow your plan’s file size and session limits.

  • Max single file size: 1GB.
  • Total session size: 2GB.
