|
## file {#file}
|
|
|
|
Reads file as a String. The file content is not parsed, so any information is read as one string and placed into the specified column.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
file(path)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `path` — The relative path to the file from [user_files_path](../../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-user_files_path). Path to file support following wildcards: `*`, `?`, `{abc,def}` and `{N..M}` where `N`, `M` — numbers, `'abc', 'def'` — strings.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
Inserting data from files a.txt and b.txt into a table as strings:
|
|
|
|
Query:
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
INSERT INTO table SELECT file('a.txt'), file('b.txt');
|
|
```
