Thanks for the answers! Good to know that ClickHouse support might be on the roadmap.

Re 1: Yeah, it's a hard problem, from what I understand. I recommend reading that clickhouse-obfuscator README, in case it helps with your implementation. The tool works similarly to what you mention: it first generates a Markov model, which is then used for deterministic output with a given seed. My only problem is the referential integrity, so solving that as well would be ideal.

Re 2: Gotcha, makes sense. I kind of assumed that it did maintain integrity, but it's not clear from their docs. It's definitely more difficult to setup as well, and while I appreciate its simplicity, a better user experience never hurts.

Sounds good about your service then. I can't say that I would personally want to rely on it, but I can see how it would be useful for others. Cheers, and good luck with the project!

Yup - totally hear you - hopefully we'll have a good solution for that in a few months :)
