### Description
`LOAD DATA` statement loads the data into a table from the user specified directory or file. If a directory is specified then all the files from the directory are loaded. If a file is specified then only the single file is loaded. Additionally the `LOAD DATA` statement takes an optional partition specification. When a partition is specified, the data files (when input source is a directory) or the single file (when input source is a file) are loaded into the partition of the target table.
### Syntax
{% highlight sql %}
LOAD DATA [ LOCAL ] INPATH path [ OVERWRITE ] INTO TABLE table_name
[ PARTITION ( partition_col_name = partition_col_val [ , ... ] ) ]
{% endhighlight %}
### Parameters
<dl>
<dt><code><em>path</em></code></dt>
<dd>Path of the file system. It can be either an absolute or a relative path.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code><em>table_name</em></code></dt>
<dd>The name of an existing table.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code><em>PARTITION ( partition_col_name = partition_col_val [ , ... ] )</em></code></dt>
<dd>Specifies one or more partition column and value pairs.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code><em>LOCAL</em></code></dt>
<dd>If specified, it causes the <code>INPATH</code> to be resolved against the local file system, instead of the default file system, which is typically a distributed storage.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code><em>OVERWRITE</em></code></dt>
<dd>By default, new data is appended to the table. If <code>OVERWRITE</code> is used, the table is instead overwritten with new data.</dd>
</dl>
### Examples
