A data source is the Druid equivalent of a database table. However, a query can also masquerade as a data source, providing subquery-like functionality. Query data sources are currently only supported by [GroupBy](GroupByQuery.html) queries.
### Table Data Source
The table data source the most common type. It's represented by a string, or by the full structure:
```json
{
"type": "table",
"name": <string_value>
}
```
### Query Data Source
```json
{
"type": "query",
"query": {
"type": "groupBy",
...
}
}
```
