# Import Sample Data

This document describes how to import sample data into TiDB Cloud via the UI. The sample data used is the system data from Capital Bikeshare, released under the Capital Bikeshare Data License Agreement. Before importing the sample data, you need to have one TiDB cluster.

1. Navigate to the TiDB Clusters page and click the name of your target cluster. The overview page of your target cluster is displayed.
2. In the cluster information pane on the left, click **Import**. The **Data Import Task** page is displayed.
3. Depending on where the TiDB cluster is hosted, do one of the following: 

    - If the TiDB cluster is hosted by AWS, select **AWS S3** for **Data Source Type**, enter the sample data URL `s3://tidbcloud-samples/data-ingestion/` in the **Bucket URL** field, and then select **US West (Oregon)** for  **Bucket Region**. The sample data bucket is hosted in the US West (Oregon) region for AWS.

    - If the TiDB cluster is hosted by GCP, select **Google Cloud Storage** for **Data Source Type**, enter the sample data URL `gcs://tidbcloud-samples-us-west1` in the **Bucket URL** field, and then select **US-West1 (Oregon)** for **Bucket Region**. The sample data bucket is hosted in the US-West1 (Oregon) for GCP.

4. For **Data Format**, select **TiDB Dumpling**.

5. If the TiDB cluster is hosted by GCP, skip this step. If the TiDB cluster is hosted by AWS, enter the Role-ARN: 

    ```
    arn:aws:iam::385595570414:role/import-sample-access
    ```

6. For **Target Database**, enter `root` in the **Username** field, and enter the root password you have set when you created the cluster in the **Password** field.

    > **Note:**
    >
    > If you have created a custom user and have the enough permissions, you can also use the name of the newly created user and the corresponding password.

7. Leave the **DB/Tables Filter** field blank.

8. Click **Import**. Then the sample data starts being imported.

Once the cluster finishes the data importing process, you will get the sample data in your database.

You can run some queries to check the result, for example:

1. Get the trip records starting at "12th & U St NW":

    {{< copyable "sql" >}}

    ```sql
    use bikeshare;
    select * from `trips` where start_station_name='12th & U St NW' limit 10;
    ```

    ```sql

2. Get the trip records with electric bikes:

    {{< copyable "sql" >}}

    ```sql
    use bikeshare;
    select * from `trips` where rideable_type="electric_bike" limit 10;
    ```

    ```sql
