v.18.14New Feature

Added JDBC Table Engine and Function in ClickHouse

Added the JDBC table engine and jdbc table function (requires installing clickhouse-jdbc-bridge). Alexandr Krasheninnikov
Introduced the JDBC table engine and jdbc table function to enable integration with external databases via JDBC using the clickhouse-jdbc-bridge.

Why it matters

This feature solves the problem of accessing external databases directly from ClickHouse by using the JDBC protocol. It allows users to query and integrate data from any JDBC-compliant database seamlessly within ClickHouse, enhancing interoperability and expanding data source connectivity.

How to use it

To use this feature, users must install the clickhouse-jdbc-bridge. After installation, they can create tables using the JDBC table engine or query external databases using the jdbc table function by specifying the appropriate JDBC connection parameters.
