The alternative Data Source is a URL Data Source (more details in Chapter 4, Connecting to Data Sources), and it holds the same ResultSet as the PostgreSQL Data Source presented previously. For convenience purposes, the name of this Data Source is quickstart_1.

Follow the same instructions as for PostgreSQL, but instead of PostgreSQL, select Url from the Data Sources options, and fill in the following details:

URL Base Path: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PacktPublishing/Redash-Quick-Start-Guide/master/chapter3/sample_data/

After you have saved the newly created Data Source (same for PostgreSQL and URL), we can proceed to writing our first query.
