carto-import-export-data

Move data into the warehouse from local files / URLs (carto import), pull data out (carto activity export for usage data; warehouse-native unloads for everything else), and prepare tilesets for performant map rendering of large geospatial datasets.

When to use this skill

• The user has a CSV / GeoJSON / Shapefile / GeoParquet file and wants it queryable in the warehouse.
• The user wants to refresh an existing table from a remote URL.
• The user wants to render a 10M+-row spatial dataset on a map (needs tileset preparation).
• The user is bulk-exporting CARTO activity data to disk for offline analysis.

If the user just wants to query a file already in the warehouse, jump to carto-query-datawarehouse. If they want to discover what's already there, carto-explore-datawarehouse.
