-database/sql does not allow to use big uint64 values.
-It is recommended use type `UInt64` which is provided by driver for such kind of values.
-type `[]byte` are used as raw string (without quoting)
-for passing value of type `[]uint8` to driver as array - please use the wrapper `clickhouse.Array`
-for passing decimal value please use the wrappers `clickhouse.Decimal*`
-for passing IPv4/IPv6 types use `clickhouse.IP`
