The latest release of ClickHouse, version 23.7, introduces several exciting features, including 31 new features, 16 performance optimizations, and 47 bug fixes. The release also includes improvements to Parquet writing, which is now up to 6x faster, and sparse columns are enabled by default for better compression and query performance. Additionally, ClickHouse now supports experimental support for PRQL (Pipelined Relational Query Language), a simple, powerful, pipelined SQL replacement. The experimental feature allows users to experiment with a public playground and explore its potential use cases in search and discovery exercises. Overall, the release aims to improve the performance, scalability, and usability of ClickHouse while providing more flexibility for developers to work with the database.
