Description

[ClickHouse](https://clickhouse.com) seems to have a PostgreSQL compatible interface, but according to a customer report it is not compatible with Postico.

Judging by the error message, it sounds like ClickHouse doesn't support the "SHOW ALL" command that Postico executes after connecting to the server.

Might be worth it to just fall back to default settings if that query fails.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the connection setup and the code that runs SHOW ALL, then reproduce the connection against ClickHouse. Done means Postico connects successfully and uses default settings when that query fails.
