v.24.5Experimental Feature

Allowed to create MaterializedMySQL database without MySQL connection

Allowed to create MaterializedMySQL database without connection to MySQL. #63397 (Kirill).
Allowed creation of MaterializedMySQL databases in ClickHouse without requiring an immediate connection to the MySQL server.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the limitation where users could not create MaterializedMySQL databases unless the MySQL source was accessible at creation time. It enables better flexibility in managing database deployment and configuration workflows, allowing users to define MaterializedMySQL databases ahead of establishing a MySQL connection.

How to use it

Users can now create MaterializedMySQL databases using the standard CREATE DATABASE statement without needing the MySQL server to be reachable. This allows defining the database schema first and connecting to MySQL later when ready.
