## Syntax for defining a Parquet nested structure

You specify the top grouping element of a nested structure in Parquet followed by the field in that structure that contains the data to ingest. You then declare the column type using the `ARRAY(<data_type>)` notation, where `<data type>` is the [Firebolt data type](../general-reference/data-types.md) corresponding to the data type of the field in Parquet.
