v.23.8New Feature
Add Support for String Literals as Table Names
Add support for string literals as table names. Closes #52178. #52635 (hendrik-m).
Why it matters
This feature addresses the limitation of previous ClickHouse versions where table names could not be specified as string literals. It enhances query flexibility by allowing dynamic or programmatically generated table names to be used directly in SQL statements.How to use it
To use this feature, simply specify the table name as a string literal in your SQL query. For example:SELECT * FROM 'table_name'This enables referencing tables by string literals without needing additional workarounds.
