ClickHouse SQL Rewriter

Introduction

The ClickHouse SQL Rewriter provides the ability to convert ClickHouse SQL queries into StarRocks/Doris SQL queries. It offers several features to facilitate this conversion:

Function Rewrite:
- The most commonly used ClickHouse functions are automatically rewritten to their syntactically equivalent counterparts in StarRocks.
- Overload resolution: For overloaded functions in ClickHouse, the rewriter supports global field type reference for resolution. Users can also provide optional table-level field type information for better resolution. For example, the toDateTime function can parse either a Unix timestamp (e.g., 1711405674) or a string with a datetime pattern (e.g., 2024-01-01 00:00:00).
Scoped Calculated Column:
- ClickHouse supports ad hoc calculated columns for reuse within the same level. The ClickHouse SQL Rewriter also supports this feature.
Ambiguous Column Resolution:
- ClickHouse allows users to omit the subquery label of a column, even if it appears in both the left and right parts of a join. For example, select c from (select c from a) t1 left join (select c from b) t2 is allowed in ClickHouse but would cause an error (c is ambiguous). The ClickHouse SQL Rewriter can rewrite c to t1.c, resolving the ambiguity.
Automatic Subquery Alias:
- Similar to ambiguous columns, ClickHouse allows subqueries without aliases. The ClickHouse SQL Rewriter automatically assigns labels to subqueries without aliases.
Complex Syntax Rewrite:
- Window clause: ClickHouse allows users to specify a window clause using the syntax window <window_name> as (partition by <column>).
- Array Join Clause: ClickHouse supports specifying an array join clause.
- Double Quote Strip: In ClickHouse, double quotes are used to quote identifiers, while in StarRocks and most other SQL dialects, they are used for strings. The ClickHouse SQL Rewriter handles the necessary conversions.
More:
- The BaseSqlBuilder template allows easy conversion of ClickHouse SQL to any desired SQL dialect. Simply subclass BaseSqlBuilder and start using it.

Quick Start

String clickhouseSql = "SELECT toDateTime(date_time) FROM db.table";
StarRocksSqlBuilder sr = new StarRocksSqlBuilder();
String starRocksSql = sr.getStarRocksSql(clickhouseSql);
System.out.println(starRocksSql);
