# Flat files

Currently, we do not support import flat files (csv, tsv format) directly into Dataflake. 

However, if you have your databases which Dataflake support to connect, you can import flat files (csv, tsv or custom format) to them, then you can continue executing to connect your database to Dataflake.

**To import your flat files into your database:**

From the top navigation bar, click on the ![](/files/1l9J7Hc61GOOhStXl8ru) icon.

Choose the **Connection strings** tab.

Select the data source that you want to import your flat file in. Make sure that you already connect the data source to Dataflake
