The ClickHouse ADBC driver provides a standards-compliant Arrow Database Connectivity (ADBC) interface for connecting ADBC-compatible applications to ClickHouse. The driver communicates with the ClickHouse server using the HTTP protocol, which is the primary protocol supported across all ClickHouse deployments. This allows the driver to operate consistently in diverse environments, including local installations, cloud-managed services, and environments where only HTTP-based access is available. The source code of the driver is available in the adbc_clickhouse GitHub Repository.
This driver is under active development. Some ADBC features may not yet be fully implemented. The current version focuses on providing essential connectivity and core ADBC functionality, with additional features planned for future releases.Your feedback is highly valuable and helps guide the prioritization of new features and improvements. If you encounter limitations, missing functionality, or unexpected behavior, please share your observations or feature requests through the issue tracker at github.com/ClickHouse/adbc_clickhouse/issues
