**Syntax**
``` sql
file(path [,format] [,structure])
file(path [,format] [,structure] [,compression])
```
**Parameters**
- `path` — The relative path to the file from [user_files_path](../../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-user_files_path). Path to file support following globs in read-only mode: `*`, `?`, `{abc,def}` and `{N..M}` where `N`, `M` — numbers, `'abc', 'def'` — strings.
- `format` — The [format](../../interfaces/formats.md#formats) of the file.
- `path` — The relative path to the file from [user_files_path](/docs/en/operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-user_files_path). Path to file support following globs in read-only mode: `*`, `?`, `{abc,def}` and `{N..M}` where `N`, `M` — numbers, `'abc', 'def'` — strings.
- `format` — The [format](/docs/en/interfaces/formats.md#formats) of the file.
- `structure` — Structure of the table. Format: `'column1_name column1_type, column2_name column2_type, ...'`.
- `compression` — The existing compression type when used in a `SELECT` query, or the desired compression type when used in an `INSERT` query. The supported compression types are `gz`, `br`, `xz`, `zst`, `lz4`, and `bz2`.
