# Datasources
|
|
|
|
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 supported only by [GroupBy](../querying/groupbyquery.html) queries.
|
|
|
|
### Table Data Source
|
|
The table data source is the most common type. It's represented by a string, or by the full structure:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "table",
|
|
"name": "<string_value>"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Union Data Source
|
|
|
|
This data source unions two or more table data sources.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "union",
|
|
"dataSources": ["<string_value1>", "<string_value2>", "<string_value3>", ... ]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the data sources being unioned should have the same schema.
|
|
Union Queries should be always sent to a Broker/Router process and are *NOT* supported directly by the Historical processes.
|
|
|
|
### Query Data Source
|
|
|
|
This is used for nested groupBys and is only currently supported for groupBys.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "query",
|
|
"query": {
|
|
"type": "groupBy",
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
