v.18.1New Feature

Support for Arbitrary Types in Comparison Operators

Support for arbitrary types in comparison operators (#2026).
Adds support for comparison operators on arbitrary data types in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature enables comparison operations (like <, >, =, etc.) to work with arbitrary user-defined or complex data types, thereby expanding the flexibility and expressiveness of queries involving custom types.

How to use it

Users can apply comparison operators directly to columns or expressions of arbitrary types as supported by their data definitions. No additional configuration is required; the support is built into the query processing engine.
