Description
## Description
**Problem Analysis:**
**Core issue:** An error occurs when executing a query against the `default.nm_advert_stats_daily` table via the JDBC driver (DBeaver), whereas a direct query using the native ClickHouse client works correctly.
**Key points:**
1. **Error:** `Unknown aggregate function: avgIf` occurs when querying via JDBC.
2. **Direct query** in the ClickHouse console executes successfully.
3. **The table** uses aggregate functions in its columns:
- `position_avg_state AggregateFunction(avgIf, Float64, UInt8)`
- `position_quantiles_state AggregateFunction(quantilesTDigestIf(0.5, 0.9, 0.95), Float64, UInt8)`
**Software versions:**
- ClickHouse Server: 24.8.8
- JDBC Driver: Official ClickHouse driver (server version 21.3+)
**The Problem:** There is an incompatibility between the JDBC driver version and the ClickHouse server version. The driver does not recognize the syntax of the aggregate functions (`avgIf`) that are supported by the server.
**Solutions suggested by the participants:**
- Fix JDBC driver is up to date due to we can't use native client for Trino and Dbeaver
