## Example

<Tabs
    groupId="engine-type"
    defaultValue="spark"
    values={[
        {label: 'Spark', value: 'spark'},
        {label: 'Flink', value: 'flink'},
    ]}>
<TabItem value="spark">

```bash
fake {
    result_table_name = "view_table"
}
```

> The result of the data source `fake` will be registered as a temporary table named `view_table` . This temporary table can be used by any Filter or Output plugin by specifying `source_table_name` .

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="flink">

```bash
source {
    FakeSourceStream {
        result_table_name = "fake"
        field_name = "name,age"
    }
}
```

> The result of the data source `FakeSourceStream` will be registered as a temporary table named `fake` . This temporary table can be used by any `Transform` or `Sink` plugin by specifying `source_table_name` .
>
> `field_name` names the two columns of the temporary table `name` and `age` respectively.
