Functions for Working with URLs

:::note The functions mentioned in this section for the most part do not follow the RFC-3986 convention as they are maximally simplified for improved performance. Functions following the RFC-3986 convention have RFC appended to the function name and are generally less performant.

  • When should I pick the non-RFC variant? — Pick the non-RFC variant when working with domains which are allowed to be publically registered and when userinfo and the @ symbol does not appear in the URL. :::

The table below details which symbols are restricted () and which are available () for use in the whole URL between the two variants.

Symbol non-RFC RFC
' '
\t
<
>
% ✔*
{
}
|
\\
^
~ ✔*
[
]
; ✔*
= ✔*
& ✔*

The symbols above marked * are sub-delimiters in the RFC 3986 convention and are allowed for userinfo following the @ symbol.

Functions that Extract Parts of a URL

If the relevant part isnt present in a URL, an empty string is returned.

protocol

Extracts the protocol from a URL.

Examples of typical returned values: http, https, ftp, mailto, tel, magnet…

domain

Extracts the hostname from a URL.

Syntax

domain(URL)

Arguments

The URL can be specified with or without a protocol. Examples:

svn+ssh://some.svn-hosting.com:80/repo/trunk
some.svn-hosting.com:80/repo/trunk
https://clickhouse.com/time/

For these examples, the domain function returns the following results:

some.svn-hosting.com
some.svn-hosting.com
clickhouse.com

Returned values

  • Host name if ClickHouse can parse the input string as a URL, otherwise an empty string. String.

Example

SELECT domain('svn+ssh://some.svn-hosting.com:80/repo/trunk');
┌─domain('svn+ssh://some.svn-hosting.com:80/repo/trunk')─┐
