Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited support for complex SQL queries

   ClickHouse-driver may not fully support all advanced SQL features available in ClickHouse, leading to limitations in query capabilities.

2. 02

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Data retrieval and manipulation can become slow when dealing with very large datasets due to the nature of Python's GIL (Global Interpreter Lock).

3. 03

   Small community support

   The community around clickhouse-driver is relatively small, which may result in slower issue resolution and fewer contributions.

What it does well

• Native interface for ClickHouse database

• Efficient data retrieval and manipulation capabilities
