use¶
Load a Parquet, Stata .dta, CSV, Feather, or Arrow file, or named table into the active dataset slot.
When to use
Open the data you want to inspect, transform, or model.
Syntax¶
use <path> or use <path>, lazy [engine=duckdb|polars]
use <path>, delimiter(<char>) has_header(true|false)
Examples¶
use patients.parquet
use patients.dta
use survey.csv, delimiter(",") has_header(true)
use data.feather
use https://example.com/patients.dta
