Support ON CONFLICT clause for PostgreSQL table inserts
Support ON CONFLICT clause when inserting into PostgreSQL table engine or table function. Closes #27727. #28081 (Kseniia Sumarokova).Why it matters
This feature allows handling conflicts during data insertion into PostgreSQL tables by using theON CONFLICT clause, enabling better control over duplicate key violations and improving data consistency when synchronizing or replicating data from ClickHouse to PostgreSQL.How to use it
When inserting data into a PostgreSQL table engine or table function, include theON CONFLICT clause in the INSERT statement to specify conflict handling behavior directly in ClickHouse. For example:INSERT INTO postgresql('host:port', 'database', 'table', 'user', 'password') ... ON CONFLICT (column) DO UPDATE SET ...
