:::info
 This page describes SQL-based batch ingestion using the [`druid-multi-stage-query`](../multi-stage-query/index.md)
 extension, new in Druid 24.0. Refer to the [ingestion methods](../ingestion/index.md#batch) table to determine which
 ingestion method is right for you.
:::

These example queries show you some of the things you can do when modifying queries for your use case. Copy the example queries into the **Query** view of the web console and run them to see what they do.

## INSERT with no rollup

This example inserts data into a table named `w000` without performing any data rollup:

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
INSERT INTO w000
SELECT
  TIME_PARSE("timestamp") AS __time,
  isRobot,
  channel,
  flags,
  isUnpatrolled,
  page,
  diffUrl,
  added,
  comment,
  commentLength,
  isNew,
  isMinor,
  delta,
  isAnonymous,
  user,
  deltaBucket,
  deleted,
  namespace,
  cityName,
  countryName,
  regionIsoCode,
  metroCode,
  countryIsoCode,
  regionName
FROM TABLE(
    EXTERN(
      '{"type":"http","uris":["https://druid.apache.org/data/wikipedia.json.gz"]}',
      '{"type":"json"}',
      '[{"name":"isRobot","type":"string"},{"name":"channel","type":"string"},{"name":"timestamp","type":"string"},{"name":"flags","type":"string"},{"name":"isUnpatrolled","type":"string"},{"name":"page","type":"string"},{"name":"diffUrl","type":"string"},{"name":"added","type":"long"},{"name":"comment","type":"string"},{"name":"commentLength","type":"long"},{"name":"isNew","type":"string"},{"name":"isMinor","type":"string"},{"name":"delta","type":"long"},{"name":"isAnonymous","type":"string"},{"name":"user","type":"string"},{"name":"deltaBucket","type":"long"},{"name":"deleted","type":"long"},{"name":"namespace","type":"string"},{"name":"cityName","type":"string"},{"name":"countryName","type":"string"},{"name":"regionIsoCode","type":"string"},{"name":"metroCode","type":"long"},{"name":"countryIsoCode","type":"string"},{"name":"regionName","type":"string"}]'
    )
  )
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
CLUSTERED BY channel
```

</details>

## INSERT with rollup

This example inserts data into a table named `kttm_data` and performs data rollup. This example implements the recommendations described in [Rollup](./concepts.md#rollup).

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
INSERT INTO "kttm_rollup"

WITH kttm_data AS (
SELECT * FROM TABLE(
  EXTERN(
    '{"type":"http","uris":["https://static.imply.io/example-data/kttm-v2/kttm-v2-2019-08-25.json.gz"]}',
    '{"type":"json"}',
    '[{"name":"timestamp","type":"string"},{"name":"agent_category","type":"string"},{"name":"agent_type","type":"string"},{"name":"browser","type":"string"},{"name":"browser_version","type":"string"},{"name":"city","type":"string"},{"name":"continent","type":"string"},{"name":"country","type":"string"},{"name":"version","type":"string"},{"name":"event_type","type":"string"},{"name":"event_subtype","type":"string"},{"name":"loaded_image","type":"string"},{"name":"adblock_list","type":"string"},{"name":"forwarded_for","type":"string"},{"name":"language","type":"string"},{"name":"number","type":"long"},{"name":"os","type":"string"},{"name":"path","type":"string"},{"name":"platform","type":"string"},{"name":"referrer","type":"string"},{"name":"referrer_host","type":"string"},{"name":"region","type":"string"},{"name":"remote_address","type":"string"},{"name":"screen","type":"string"},{"name":"session","type":"string"},{"name":"session_length","type":"long"},{"name":"timezone","type":"string"},{"name":"timezone_offset","type":"long"},{"name":"window","type":"string"}]'
  )
))

SELECT
  FLOOR(TIME_PARSE("timestamp") TO MINUTE) AS __time,
  session,
  agent_category,
  agent_type,
  browser,
  browser_version,
  MV_TO_ARRAY("language") AS "language", -- Multi-value string dimension
  os,
  city,
  country,
  forwarded_for AS ip_address,

  COUNT(*) AS "cnt",
  SUM(session_length) AS session_length,
  APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT_DS_HLL(event_type) AS unique_event_types
FROM kttm_data
WHERE os = 'iOS'
GROUP BY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
CLUSTERED BY browser, session
```

</details>

## INSERT for reindexing an existing datasource

This example aggregates data from a table named `w000` and inserts the result into `w002`.

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
INSERT INTO w002
SELECT
  FLOOR(__time TO MINUTE) AS __time,
  channel,
  countryIsoCode,
  countryName,
  regionIsoCode,
  regionName,
  page,
  COUNT(*) AS cnt,
  SUM(added) AS sum_added,
  SUM(deleted) AS sum_deleted
FROM w000
GROUP BY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
CLUSTERED BY page
```

</details>

## INSERT with JOIN

This example inserts data into a table named `w003` and joins data from two sources:

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
INSERT INTO w003
WITH
wikidata AS (SELECT * FROM TABLE(
  EXTERN(
    '{"type":"http","uris":["https://druid.apache.org/data/wikipedia.json.gz"]}',
    '{"type":"json"}',
    '[{"name":"isRobot","type":"string"},{"name":"channel","type":"string"},{"name":"timestamp","type":"string"},{"name":"flags","type":"string"},{"name":"isUnpatrolled","type":"string"},{"name":"page","type":"string"},{"name":"diffUrl","type":"string"},{"name":"added","type":"long"},{"name":"comment","type":"string"},{"name":"commentLength","type":"long"},{"name":"isNew","type":"string"},{"name":"isMinor","type":"string"},{"name":"delta","type":"long"},{"name":"isAnonymous","type":"string"},{"name":"user","type":"string"},{"name":"deltaBucket","type":"long"},{"name":"deleted","type":"long"},{"name":"namespace","type":"string"},{"name":"cityName","type":"string"},{"name":"countryName","type":"string"},{"name":"regionIsoCode","type":"string"},{"name":"metroCode","type":"long"},{"name":"countryIsoCode","type":"string"},{"name":"regionName","type":"string"}]'
  )
)),
countries AS (SELECT * FROM TABLE(
  EXTERN(
    '{"type":"http","uris":["https://static.imply.io/example-data/lookup/countries.tsv"]}',
    '{"type":"tsv","findColumnsFromHeader":true}',
    '[{"name":"Country","type":"string"},{"name":"Capital","type":"string"},{"name":"ISO3","type":"string"},{"name":"ISO2","type":"string"}]'
  )
))
SELECT
  TIME_PARSE("timestamp") AS __time,
  isRobot,
  channel,
  flags,
  isUnpatrolled,
  page,
  diffUrl,
  added,
  comment,
  commentLength,

  countryName,
  regionIsoCode,
  metroCode,
  countryIsoCode,
  countries.Capital AS countryCapital,
  regionName
FROM wikidata
LEFT JOIN countries ON wikidata.countryIsoCode = countries.ISO2
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
```

</details>

## REPLACE an entire datasource

This example replaces the entire datasource used in the table `w007` with the new query data while dropping the old data:

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
REPLACE INTO w007
OVERWRITE ALL
SELECT
  TIME_PARSE("timestamp") AS __time,
  isRobot,
  channel,
  flags,
  isUnpatrolled,
  page,
  diffUrl,

FROM TABLE(
    EXTERN(
      '{"type":"http","uris":["https://druid.apache.org/data/wikipedia.json.gz"]}',

    )
  )
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
CLUSTERED BY channel
```

</details>

## REPLACE for replacing a specific time segment

This example replaces certain segments in a datasource with the new query data while dropping old segments:

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
REPLACE INTO w007
OVERWRITE WHERE __time >= TIMESTAMP '2019-08-25 02:00:00' AND __time < TIMESTAMP '2019-08-25 03:00:00'
SELECT
  FLOOR(__time TO MINUTE) AS __time,
  channel,
  countryIsoCode,
  countryName,
  regionIsoCode,
  regionName,
  page
FROM w007
WHERE __time >= TIMESTAMP '2019-08-25 02:00:00' AND __time < TIMESTAMP '2019-08-25 03:00:00' AND countryName = "Canada"
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
CLUSTERED BY page
```

</details>

## REPLACE for reindexing an existing datasource into itself

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>

```sql
REPLACE INTO w000
OVERWRITE ALL
SELECT
  FLOOR(__time TO MINUTE) AS __time,
  channel,
  countryIsoCode,
  countryName,
  regionIsoCode,
  regionName,
  page,
  COUNT(*) AS cnt,
  SUM(added) AS sum_added,
  SUM(deleted) AS sum_deleted
FROM w000
GROUP BY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
PARTITIONED BY HOUR
CLUSTERED BY page
```

</details>

## SELECT with EXTERN and JOIN

<details><summary>Show the query</summary>
