# TPC-H (1999)

A popular benchmark which models the internal data warehouse of a wholesale supplier.
The data is stored into a 3rd normal form representation, requiring lots of joins at query runtime.
Despite its age and its unrealistic assumption that the data is uniformly and independently distributed, TPC-H remains the most popular OLAP benchmark to date.

First, checkout the TPC-H repository and compile the data generator:

``` bash
git clone https://github.com/gregrahn/tpch-kit.git
cd tpch-kit/dbgen
make
```

Then, generate the data. Parameter `-s` specifies the scale factor. For example, with `-s 100`, 600 million rows are generated for table 'lineitem'.

``` bash
./dbgen -s 100
```

Now create tables in ClickHouse:

```sql
CREATE TABLE nation (
    n_nationkey  Int32,
    n_name       String,
    n_regionkey  Int32,
    n_comment    String)
ORDER BY (n_regionkey, n_name);

CREATE TABLE region (
    r_regionkey  Int32,
    r_name       String,
    r_comment    String)
ORDER BY (r_name);

CREATE TABLE part (
    p_partkey     Int32,

    p_mfgr        String,
    p_brand       String,
    p_type        String,
    p_size        Int32,
    p_container   String,
    p_retailprice Decimal(15,2),
    p_comment     String)
ORDER BY (p_mfgr, p_brand, p_type, p_name);

CREATE TABLE supplier (
    s_suppkey     Int32,
    s_name        String,
    s_address     String,
    s_nationkey   Int32,

    s_comment     String)
ORDER BY (s_nationkey, s_address, s_name);

CREATE TABLE partsupp (

    ps_comment     String)
ORDER BY (ps_suppkey, ps_availqty, ps_supplycost, ps_partkey);

CREATE TABLE customer (

    c_nationkey   Int32,
    c_phone       String,

    c_mktsegment  String,
    c_comment     String)
ORDER BY (c_nationkey, c_mktsegment, c_address, c_name, c_custkey);

CREATE TABLE orders  (
    o_orderkey       Int32,
    o_custkey        Int32,
    o_orderstatus    String,
    o_totalprice     Decimal(15,2),
    o_orderdate      Date,
    o_orderpriority  String,
    o_clerk          String,
    o_shippriority   Int32,
    o_comment        String)
ORDER BY (o_orderdate, o_orderstatus, o_custkey);

CREATE TABLE lineitem (
    l_orderkey       Int32,
    l_partkey        Int32,
    l_suppkey        Int32,
    l_linenumber     Int32,
    l_quantity       Decimal(15,2),
    l_extendedprice  Decimal(15,2),
    l_discount       Decimal(15,2),
    l_tax            Decimal(15,2),
    l_returnflag     String,
    l_linestatus     String,
    l_shipdate       Date,
    l_commitdate     Date,
    l_receiptdate    Date,
    l_shipinstruct   String,
    l_shipmode       String,
    l_comment        String)
ORDER BY (l_suppkey, l_partkey, l_shipdate, l_commitdate, l_receiptdate);
```

The data can be imported as follows:

``` bash
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO nation FORMAT CSV" < nation.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO region FORMAT CSV" < region.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO part FORMAT CSV" < part.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO supplier FORMAT CSV" < supplier.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO partsupp FORMAT CSV" < partsupp.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO customers FORMAT CSV" < customers.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO orders FORMAT CSV" < orders.tbl
clickhouse-client --format_csv_delimiter '|' --query "INSERT INTO lineitem FORMAT CSV" < lineitem.tbl
```

The queries are generated by `./qgen -s <scaling_factor>`. Example queries for `s = 100`:

::::warning
TPC-H makes heavy use of correlated subqueries which are at the time of writing (September 2024) not supported by ClickHouse ([issue #6697](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6697)).
As a result, many of below benchmark queries will fail with errors.
