+- Added support for specifying roles via request query parameters. See [this example](examples/role.ts) for more details. ([@pulpdrew](https://github.com/pulpdrew), [#328](https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-js/pull/328))

@@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ If something is missing, or you found a mistake in one of these examples, please
 - [default_format_setting.ts](default_format_setting.ts) - sending queries using `exec` method without a `FORMAT` clause; the default format will be set from the client settings.
 - [session_id_and_temporary_tables.ts](session_id_and_temporary_tables.ts) - creating a temporary table, which requires a session_id to be passed to the server.
 - [session_level_commands.ts](session_level_commands.ts) - using SET commands, memorized for the specific session_id.
+- [role.ts](role.ts) - using one or more roles without explicit `USE` commands or session IDs
