Rel supports importing data from the cloud, such as from S3 buckets. Our How-To Guides describe the process of importing cloud-based CSV or JSON data. However, if you have a local file, there is currently no way to specify a local file path and upload that data into a database using Rel.
RelationalAI’s notebook now provides a user interface to upload locally stored data and assign it to a relation in your database. You can use the browser to upload a file from your computer, and then follow the usual CSV/JSON import patterns.
With the new notebook update, the ability to access and import local data into your database is provided. To get started, go to Working with RelationalAI Notebooks.
