# External dictionaries
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can add your own dictionaries from various data sources. The data source for a dictionary can be a local text or executable file, an HTTP(s) resource, or another DBMS. For more information, see "[Sources for external dictionaries](external_dicts_dict_sources.md#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources)".
|
|||

|
ClickHouse:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> - Fully or partially stores dictionaries in RAM.
|
|||
|
|
- Periodically updates dictionaries and dynamically loads missing values. In other words, dictionaries can be loaded dynamically.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The configuration of external dictionaries is located in one or more files. The path to the configuration is specified in the [dictionaries_config](../operations/server_settings/settings.md#server_settings-dictionaries_config) parameter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dictionaries can be loaded at server startup or at first use, depending on the [dictionaries_lazy_load](../operations/server_settings/settings.md#server_settings-dictionaries_lazy_load) setting.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The dictionary config file has the following format:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```xml
|
|||
|
|
<yandex>
|
|||
|
|
<comment>An optional element with any content. Ignored by the ClickHouse server.</comment>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<!--Optional element. File name with substitutions-->
|
|||
|
|
<include_from>/etc/metrika.xml</include_from>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dictionary>
|
|||
|
|
<!-- Dictionary configuration -->
|
|||
|
|
</dictionary>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dictionary>
|
|||
|
|
<!-- Dictionary configuration -->
|
|||
|
|
</dictionary>
|
|||
|
|
</yandex>
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can [configure](external_dicts_dict.md#dicts-external_dicts_dict) any number of dictionaries in the same file. The file format is preserved even if there is only one dictionary (i.e. `<yandex><dictionary> <!--configuration -> </dictionary></yandex>` ).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
See also "[Functions for working with external dictionaries](../functions/ext_dict_functions.md#ext_dict_functions)".

You can convert values for a small dictionary by describing it in a `SELECT` query (see the [transform](../functions/other_functions.md#other_functions-transform) function). This functionality is not related to external dictionaries.
