+# Load tabular data
+
+A tabular dataset is a generic dataset used to describe any data stored in rows and columns, where the rows represent an example and the columns represent a feature (can be continuous or categorical). These datasets are commonly stored in CSV files, Pandas DataFrames, and in database tables. This guide will show you how to load and create a tabular dataset from:
+
+- CSV files
+- Pandas DataFrames
+- Databases
+
+## CSV files
+
+🤗 Datasets can read CSV files by specifying the generic `csv` dataset script in the [`~datasets.load_dataset`] method. To load more than one CSV file, pass them as a list to the `data_files` parameter:
+
+```py
+>>> from datasets import load_dataset
+>>> dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files="my_file.csv")
+
+# load multiple CSV files
+>>> dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files=["my_file_1.csv", "my_file_2.csv", "my_file_3.csv"])
+```
+
+You can also map specific CSV files to the train and test splits:
+
+```py
+>>> dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files={"train": ["my_train_file_1.csv", "my_train_file_2.csv"], "test": "my_test_file.csv"})
+```
+
+To load remote CSV files, pass the URLs instead:
+
+```py
+>>> base_url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/lhoestq/demo1/resolve/main/data/"
+>>> dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files={"train": base_url + "train.csv", "test": base_url + "test.csv"})
+```
+
+To load zipped CSV files:
+
+```py
+>>> url = "https://domain.org/train_data.zip"
+>>> data_files = {"train": url}
+>>> dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files=data_files)
+```
+
+## Pandas DataFrames
+
+🤗 Datasets also supports loading datasets from [Pandas DataFrames](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.html) with the [`~datasets.Dataset.from_pandas`] method:
+
+```py
+>>> from datasets import Dataset
+>>> import pandas as pd
+
+# create a Pandas DataFrame
+>>> df = pd.read_csv("https://huggingface.co/datasets/imodels/credit-card/raw/main/train.csv")
+>>> df = pd.DataFrame(df)
+# load Dataset from Pandas DataFrame
+>>> dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(df)
+```
+
+Use the `splits` parameter to specify the name of the dataset split:
+
+```py
+>>> train_ds = Dataset.from_pandas(train_df, split="train")
+>>> test_ds = Dataset.from_pandas(test_df, split="test")
+```
+
+If the dataset doesn't look as expected, you should explicitly [specify your dataset features](loading#specify-features). A [pandas.Series](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.Series.html) may not always carry enough information for Arrow to automatically infer a data type. For example, if a DataFrame is of length `0` or if the Series only contains `None/NaN` objects, the type is set to `null`.
+
+## Databases
+
+Datasets stored in databases are typically accessed with SQL queries. With 🤗 Datasets, you can connect to a database, query for the data you need, and create a dataset out of it. Then you can use all the processing features of 🤗 Datasets to prepare your dataset for training.
+
+### SQLite
+
+SQLite is a small, lightweight database that is fast and easy to set up. You can use an existing database if you'd like, or follow along and start from scratch.
+
+Start by creating a quick SQLite database with this [Covid-19 data](https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/blob/master/us-states.csv) from the New York Times:
+
+```py
+>>> import sqlite3
+>>> import pandas as pd
+
+>>> conn = sqlite3.connect("us_covid_data.db")
+>>> df = pd.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/master/us-states.csv")
+>>> df.to_sql("states", conn, if_exists="replace")
+```
+
+This creates a `states` table in the `us_covid_data.db` database which you can now load into a dataset.
+
+To connect to the database, you'll need the [URI string](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/engines.html#database-urls) that identifies your database. Connecting to a database with a URI caches the returned dataset. The URI string differs for each database dialect, so be sure to check the [Database URLs](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/engines.html#database-urls) for whichever database you're using.
+
+For SQLite, it is:
+
+```py
+>>> uri = "sqlite:///us_covid_data.db"
+```
+
+Load the table by passing the table name and URI to [`~datasets.Dataset.from_sql`]:
+
+```py
+>>> from datasets import Dataset
+
+>>> ds = Dataset.from_sql("states", uri)
+>>> ds
+Dataset({
+    features: ['index', 'date', 'state', 'fips', 'cases', 'deaths'],
+    num_rows: 54382
+})
+```
+
+Then you can use all of 🤗 Datasets process features like [`~datasets.Dataset.filter`] for example:
+
+```py
+>>> ds.filter(lambda x: x["state"] == "California")
+```
+
+You can also load a dataset from a SQL query instead of an entire table, which is useful for querying and joining multiple tables. 
+
+Load the dataset by passing your query and URI to [`~datasets.Dataset.from_sql`]:
+
+```py
+>>> from datasets import Dataset
+
+>>> ds = Dataset.from_sql('SELECT * FROM states WHERE state="California";', uri)
+>>> ds
+Dataset({
+    features: ['index', 'date', 'state', 'fips', 'cases', 'deaths'],
+    num_rows: 1019
+})
+```
+
+Then you can use all of 🤗 Datasets process features like [`~datasets.Dataset.filter`] for example:
+
+```py
+>>> ds.filter(lambda x: x["cases"] > 10000)
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+You can also connect and load a dataset from a PostgreSQL database, however we won't directly demonstrate how in the documentation because the example is only meant to be run in a notebook. Instead, take a look at how to install and setup a PostgreSQL server in this [notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/nateraw/huggingface-hub-examples/blob/main/sql_with_huggingface_datasets.ipynb#scrollTo=d83yGQMPHGFi)!
+
+After you've setup your PostgreSQL database, you can use the [`~datasets.Dataset.from_sql`] method to load a dataset from a table or query.
