For examples of real-world
usage, refer to the <a href="/docs/26.0.0/multi-stage-query/examples">Examples</a> page.</p><p><code>INSERT</code> and <code>REPLACE</code> load data into a Druid datasource from either an external input source, or from another
datasource. When loading from an external datasource, you typically must provide the kind of input source,
the data format, and the schema (signature) of the input file. Druid provides <em>table functions</em> to allow you to
specify the external file. There are two kinds. <code>EXTERN</code> works with the JSON-serialized specs for the three
items, using the same JSON you would use in native ingest. A set of other, input-source-specific functions
use SQL syntax to specify the format and the input schema. There is one function for each input source. The
input-source-specific functions allow you to use SQL query parameters to specify the set of files (or URIs),
making it easy to reuse the same SQL statement for each ingest: just specify the set of files to use each time.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="extern-function"><code>EXTERN</code> Function<a href="#extern-function" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to extern-function" title="Direct link to extern-function"></a></h3><p>Use the <code>EXTERN</code> function to read external data.

into a structure with a &quot;base&quot; input (the bottom-leftmost one) and other leaf inputs (the rest). Next, any subqueries

through <code>orders</code> row by row. The results are then aggregated and written to the table <code>orders_enriched</code>. The broadcast
inputs (<code>products</code> and <code>customers</code>) must fall under the limit on broadcast table footprint, but the base <code>orders</code> input

join would return a <a href="#errors"><code>BroadcastTablesTooLarge</code></a> error, but a sort-merge join would succeed.</p><p>There is no limit on the overall size of either input, so sort-merge is a good choice for performing a join of two large
inputs, or for performing a self-join of a large input with itself.</p><p>There is a limit on the amount of data associated with each individual key. If <em>both</em> sides of the join exceed this
