Table schema and design analysis

Answers "is this table designed the way ClickHouse wants it" from system.parts, system.tables, system.columns, system.parts_columns, system.data_skipping_indices and system.merge_tree_settings. Run altinity-expert-clickhouse-connection first if the connection mode, cluster and time window are not yet established.

Query packs

  • checks.sql — 10 checks: partition health audit, oversized partitions on collapsing engines, primary key analysis, column count, Nullable column audit, over-long table and column names, materialized view design issues, materialized view dependency chains, a table overview and the table-level MergeTree settings that shape all of the above.
  • reference.md — background (settings, sizing, anti-patterns); read only when you need to explain a recommendation.

How to run the query packs

  1. Read each pack file from this skill's directory (the skill loader prints the directory path).
  2. Run statements one at a time, never a whole file. Statements end with ; and start with a -- @check <id> <title> header; keep the id with its result.
  3. Honor -- @requires: skip the statement when the named table is missing, when keeper is required and the server has no Keeper/ZooKeeper, or when the version condition is not met. List skipped ids with the reason.
  4. Keep {cluster} as written when a cluster macro exists; otherwise apply the connection skill's rewrite rule. Any other {placeholder} is a template variable: substitute a real value first or skip the statement.
  5. On an error, record the check id and the first line of the error, then continue. Only for UNKNOWN_IDENTIFIER, run DESCRIBE TABLE system.<table> and drop the missing column.
  6. A severity column is the verdict for that row. Copy it; do not re-grade.
