# Loading Data
You can load data using SQL commands and other utilities in HeavyDB, or load delimited files in Heavy Immerse.
## Loading Data with HeavyDB Utilities
For more examples of loading data to HeavyDB, see [Loading Data with SQL](/loading-and-exporting-data/command-line/load-data).
## Loading Data with Heavy Immerse
You can load a CSV or TSV file directly into a table in Heavy Immerse. HEAVY.AI supports Latin-1 ASCII format and UTF-8. If you want to load data with another encoding (for example, UTF-16), convert the data to UTF-8 before loading it to HEAVY.AI.
## Loading Data with Apache Kafka
You can load data files into HeavyDB using Apache Kafka from the command line. See [Inserting Data Using Kafka](/loading-and-exporting-data/supported-data-sources/kafka).
## Streaming Data with Apache Kafka
You can stream data from an application directly to the HeavyDB using Apache Kafka. See [Creating a Kafka Click-through Application](/tutorials-and-demos/creating-a-kafka-streaming-application).
