Reference

What goes here: Lookup material. Exhaustive, factual documentation of ClickHouse's surface area — SQL statements, functions, operators, data types, table engines, formats, settings, system tables.

Audience: Users who already know what they want to do and need the precise syntax, arguments, defaults, or behavior. Pages here are for skimming and cross-referencing, not reading start-to-finish.

Subdirectories:

  • statements/ — SQL statements (SELECT, ALTER, CREATE, etc.).
  • functions/ — regular, aggregate, table, and window functions.
  • operators/ — SQL operators.
  • data-types/ — type reference.
  • engines/ — table and database engines.
  • formats/ — input/output format reference.
  • settings/ — server, session, and MergeTree settings.
  • system-tables/ — system table schemas.

If a page explains why you'd use something or walks through how to use it, it belongs in /concepts or /guides respectively, not here.
