ClickHouse

ClickHouse is a column-oriented database that enables its users to generate powerful analytics, using SQL queries, in real-time. This article will cover how to connect to ClickHouse from Noteable.

Prepare

You will need the following information to create the connection:
  • Host
  • Port (default: 8443)
  • Username (default: default)
  • Password
  • Database (default: default)
Noteable supports connecting to ClickHouse over the HTTPS/HTTP interface and not over the native (TCP) interface.
By default, Noteable uses an HTTPS interface without verifying the server certificate. The options available under “Secure Connection” are:
  • Yes, HTTPS: Uses an HTTPS interface and does not verify the server certificate. This is the default.
  • Yes, HTTPS and verify server certificate: Uses an HTTPS interface and verifies the server certificate using a pre-configured TLS CA certificate bundle available.
  • No, HTTP: Uses an insecure HTTP interface.
If your data source is behind a firewall, you will need to ensure your firewall accepts incoming connections from Noteable. Read more here: Data Connections​
