Add your first table
Upload a .csv or .xlsx under 500 MB. The table name is what Lab lake() and gold publish use later.
Steps
- Sidebar → Data Warehouse → Lake (
/data). - Click Add data (top right, green button).
- In the dialog, choose Structured. "Upload CSV or Excel."
- Drag or select your file; enter a table name.
- Click upload and wait for success toast.
- Left catalog → Bronze tab → click your table to preview rows and column types.
Add data → Database says Coming soon. Export to CSV until that ships.
Tips
- Headers matter. First row should be column names ML/Forecast can target later.
- One file = one bronze table. Join multiple files in silver or Lab.
- Unstructured zip? Choose Unstructured instead: see zip ingest.
Common mistakes
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Upload does not appear under Bronze | Check the 500 MB limit and that the file is .csv or .xlsx |
| Table name not found in Lab | Names are case-insensitive but must match catalog: run list_tables() |
| Ready to train immediately | Bronze alone is not enough. publish gold first |
