Can I find the Sorting key i.e. Order BY key or Primary Key used at a time of Table creation in Clickhouse? Same goes for if I want to find the Table Engine used for creation, How can I find it?


Solution

  • You can use system.tables

    SELECT
        sorting_key,
        engine_full
    FROM system.tables
    WHERE (database = '<database_name>') AND (name = '<table_name>')
