Fix LowCardinality of Int256 Creation Issue
Fix the issue thatLowCardinalityofInt256cannot be created. #31832 (alexey-milovidov).
Why it matters
This fix resolves the problem where users could not create columns of typeLowCardinality(Int256). It enables efficient storage and processing for high-precision 256-bit integers with low cardinality optimization, improving performance and reducing memory usage for applicable datasets.How to use it
Users can now define table columns or cast expressions usingLowCardinality(Int256) normally, for example: CREATE TABLE example (
id Int64,
value LowCardinality(Int256)
) ENGINE = MergeTree() ORDER BY id;
