When dictionary with FILE source is created via DDL command (`CREATE DICTIONARY ...`), source of the dictionary have to be located in `user_files` directory, to prevent DB users accessing arbitrary file on clickhouse node.
## Executable File {#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-executable}
Working with executable files depends on [how the dictionary is stored in memory](../../../sql-reference/dictionaries/external-dictionaries/external-dicts-dict-layout.md). If the dictionary is stored using `cache` and `complex_key_cache`, ClickHouse requests the necessary keys by sending a request to the executable file’s STDIN. Otherwise, ClickHouse starts executable file and treats its output as dictionary data.

That dictionary source can be configured only via XML configuration. Creating dictionaries with executable source via DDL is disabled, otherwise, the DB user would be able to execute arbitrary binary on clickhouse node.
## Http(s) {#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-http}
Working with an HTTP(s) server depends on [how the dictionary is stored in memory](../../../sql-reference/dictionaries/external-dictionaries/external-dicts-dict-layout.md). If the dictionary is stored using `cache` and `complex_key_cache`, ClickHouse requests the necessary keys by sending a request via the `POST` method.

When creating a dictionary using the DDL command (`CREATE DICTIONARY ...`) remote hosts for HTTP dictionaries checked with the `remote_url_allow_hosts` section from config to prevent database users to access arbitrary HTTP server.
## ODBC {#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-odbc}
You can use this method to connect any database that has an ODBC driver.
