# ClickHouse Analytics
Get fast analytical queries from ClickHouse by modeling for its columnar, sorted storage.
## Choose the right table engine
- MergeTree is the workhorse for analytical tables.
- ReplacingMergeTree deduplicates rows with the same sorting key during background merges (eventual, use FINAL or aggregation to read deduped).
- SummingMergeTree and AggregatingMergeTree pre-aggregate on merge.
- ReplicatedMergeTree variants add replication for production.
## The ORDER BY clause is the index
ClickHouse has no traditional secondary index by default; the sorting key defines the primary index and physical order.
