v.23.8New Feature
Allow cluster commands without table name in issue #50808
Allow usingcluster,clusterAllReplicas,remote, andremoteSecurewithout table name in issue #50808. #50848 (Yangkuan Liu).
Why it matters
This feature addresses the limitation where these functions required a table name, enabling more flexible and convenient queries across clusters or remote servers without needing to specify a table. It simplifies distributed query syntax and improves usability in multi-cluster environments.How to use it
Users can now callcluster, clusterAllReplicas, remote, and remoteSecure functions without providing the table name argument in their queries. This allows writing statements like SELECT * FROM cluster('cluster_name', 'database') WHERE ... without table name, leveraging default or relevant context.
