ODBC
Allows ClickHouse to connect to external databases via ODBC.
To implement ODBC connection, ClickHouse uses the separate program clickhouse-odbc-bridge
. ClickHouse starts this program automatically when it is required. The ODBC bridge program is installed by the same package with the ClickHouse server.
This engine supports the Nullable data type.
