v.1.1.54388New Feature
Added url() function and URL table engine in ClickHouse
Added theurl()table function and theURLtable engine (Alexander Sapin).
Why it matters
These features provide the ability to query data directly from URLs, enabling users to work with external data sources over HTTP or HTTPS as if they were tables in ClickHouse. This simplifies data ingestion and integration workflows by allowing direct access to remote resources without manual downloading or preprocessing.How to use it
Use theurl() table function to specify a URL as a data source in your queries, or create a table using the URL table engine to treat the contents of a URL as a table. For example, you can query data from a web resource using:SELECT * FROM url('http://example.com/data.csv', 'CSV');or create a table with the URL engine:
CREATE TABLE example_table ENGINE = URL('http://example.com/data.csv', 'CSV');
