# schema_inference_cache
|
|
|
|
Contains information about all cached file schemas.
|
|
|
|
Columns:
|
|
- `storage` ([String](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Storage name: File, URL, S3 or HDFS.
|
|
- `source` ([String](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — File source.
|
|
- `format` ([String](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Format name.
|
|
- `additional_format_info` ([String](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) - Additional information required to identify the schema. For example, format specific settings.
|
|
- `registration_time` ([DateTime](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md)) — Timestamp when schema was added in cache.
|
|
- `schema` ([String](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) - Cached schema.
|

|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
Let's say we have a file `data.jsonl` with this content:
|
|
```json
|
|
{"id" : 1, "age" : 25, "name" : "Josh", "hobbies" : ["football", "cooking", "music"]}
|
|
{"id" : 2, "age" : 19, "name" : "Alan", "hobbies" : ["tennis", "art"]}
|
|
{"id" : 3, "age" : 32, "name" : "Lana", "hobbies" : ["fitness", "reading", "shopping"]}
|
|
{"id" : 4, "age" : 47, "name" : "Brayan", "hobbies" : ["movies", "skydiving"]}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Place `data.jsonl` in the `user_files_path` directory. You can find this by looking
|
|
in your ClickHouse configuration files. The default is:
|
|
```
|
|
<user_files_path>/var/lib/clickhouse/user_files/</user_files_path>
|
|
```
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
Open `clickhouse-client` and run the `DESCRIBE` query:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
DESCRIBE file('data.jsonl') SETTINGS input_format_try_infer_integers=0;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```response
|
|
┌─name────┬─type────────────────────┬─default_type─┬─default_expression─┬─comment─┬─codec_expression─┬─ttl_expression─┐
|
|
│ id │ Nullable(Float64) │ │ │ │ │ │
|
|
│ age │ Nullable(Float64) │ │ │ │ │ │
|
|
│ name │ Nullable(String) │ │ │ │ │ │
|
|
│ hobbies │ Array(Nullable(String)) │ │ │ │ │ │
|
|
└─────────┴─────────────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────────────┴────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's see the content of the `system.schema_inference_cache` table:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT *
|
|
FROM system.schema_inference_cache
|
|
FORMAT Vertical
|
|
```
|
|
```response
|
|
Row 1:
|
|
──────
|
|

|
|
source: /home/droscigno/user_files/data.jsonl
|
|
format: JSONEachRow
|
|
additional_format_info: schema_inference_hints=, max_rows_to_read_for_schema_inference=25000, schema_inference_make_columns_nullable=true, try_infer_integers=false, try_infer_dates=true, try_infer_datetimes=true, try_infer_numbers_from_strings=true, read_bools_as_numbers=true, try_infer_objects=false
|
|
registration_time: 2022-12-29 17:49:52
|
|
schema: id Nullable(Float64), age Nullable(Float64), name Nullable(String), hobbies Array(Nullable(String))
|
|
```
