PolarDB:CreateDataImportTask

Last Updated:Sep 10, 2026

Creates a data import task to import external data files such as SQL scripts and CSV files into a target database instance.

Operation description

The CreateDataImportTask operation creates a data import task that supports importing SQL or CSV files stored in OSS, ECS, or directly uploaded into a target database instance. By specifying the instance ID, database name, engine type, data source (such as an OSS path), and import type, the system performs data write operations asynchronously or synchronously. This operation is applicable to scenarios such as data migration, initialization, and data backfill. A task ID is returned for subsequent status queries and management.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
