# Save Query Results as a Data Source

You can upload query results to Marketing Cloud Intelligence as a new data source that complements existing data not related to the Granular Data Center.

These options are available.

- **TotalConnect**—Creates a TotalConnect data stream that is preconfigured to query the Granular Data Center for data ingestion. Because TotalConnect is governed by the data model, you must map the retrieved fields into the data model accordingly. Rows added through TotalConnect are charged as per TotalConnect rows, in addition to the Granular Data Center charges for the same data. For more information, see [Creating Data Streams with TotalConnect in Marketing Cloud Intelligence](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.dato_data_streams_tc.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "If you need to upload data from a source and no API connector exists, you can create a data stream with TotalConnect. For example, if you have a proprietary dataset in Excel, CSV, or another file format, or if a custom report is sent to you by a data partner that is beyond the scope of what their API can provide.")
- **LiteConnect**—Creates a standalone data stream and doesn’t require any mapping. For more information, see [Create a Data Stream with LiteConnect in Marketing Cloud Intelligence](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.dato_data_streams_lite_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create a LiteConnect data stream to upload a single data source as is without any manipulations. You can upload any flat file.").
- **Granular Data Center** —Turns the results of this query into an additional table within the Granular Data Center for further processing or querying.
