ClickHouse data types in Propel
Propel offers a wide range of data types to efficiently store and process various kinds of data. Here’s a comprehensive list of ClickHouse data types:
Integer types
Signed and unsigned integers of different sizes:
- Unsigned:
UInt8
,UInt16
,UInt32
,UInt64
,UInt128
,UInt256
. - Signed:
Int8
,Int16
,Int32
,Int64
,Int128
,Int256
.
Floating-point numbers
Float32
: Single precision floating-point number.Float64
: Double precision floating-point number.Decimal(P, S)
: Fixed-point number with precision P and scale S.
Boolean
Bool
: Represents true or false values.
Strings
String
: Variable-length string.FixedString(N)
: Fixed-length string of N bytes.
Dates and times
Date
: Stores dates (year, month, day).Date32
: Extended date type with a wider range.DateTime
: Stores date and time.DateTime64(precision)
: High-precision date and time.
JSON
JSON
: Stores and processes JSON documents.
UUID
UUID
: Universally Unique Identifier.
Low Cardinality Types
Enum8
andEnum16
: For a small set of string values.LowCardinality(T)
: Optimized storage for columns with up to 10,000 unique values.
Arrays
Array(T)
: An array of elements of type T.
Maps
Map(key_type, value_type)
: Key-value pairs.
Aggregation function types
SimpleAggregateFunction(name, type)
: Stores intermediate state of simple aggregation functions.AggregateFunction(name, types...)
: Stores intermediate state of complex aggregation functions.
Nested data structures
Nested(Name1 Type1, Name2 Type2, ...)
: Table-like structure within a column
Tuples
Tuple(T1, T2, ...)
: A collection of elements, each with its own type.
Nullable
Nullable(T)
: Allows NULL values for type T.
IP addresses
