listCsvFile csvFiles;

You have imported data into the SAP HANA table using the table import feature.
5.11 Using Imported Table Data in SAP HANA
Before you start, ensure that you have deployed a table import.
Note: If you activate the files and then log on to the system using the SAP HANA studio, you do not have
sufficient privileges to execute a SELECT statement on the table that was created. To be able to execute
the select statement on the table that was created, execute the following statement using the SQL editor
in the SAP HANA studio:
call
_SYS_REPO.GRANT_PRIVILEGE_ON_ACTIVATED_CONTENT('select','"::"','');
1. In the SAP HANA studio, write a Select statement to view the imported data.
For example:
SELECT * FROM "TiPackage::TiTable";
