Load five messy CSV files into clean ClickHouse tables. Handle inconsistent dates, mixed null representations, duplicate headers, and trailing delimiters.
I have five CSV files with event data in /data/csv/. They need to go into ClickHouse but I think some of the files have problems — weird dates, missing values, maybe duplicate headers. Can you get all the data into a clean table?
Let me start by exploring the CSV files and understanding their structure, then set up ClickHouse to load the data.

}Let me explore the CSV files first to understand their structure and issues.

I have five CSV files with event data in /data/csv/. They need to go into ClickHouse but I think some of the files have problems — weird dates, missing values, maybe duplicate headers. Can you get all the data into a clean table?

ClickHouse installed but not running. Five messy CSV files in /data/csv/ with inconsistent dates, mixed nulls, duplicate headers, and trailing delimiters.
Create a ClickHouse table and load all five CSV files into it, cleaning data issues along the way.
