### Bug description
Bug description
Hi there seems to be an issue when using the Server pagination feature for
Table charts (I'm not using the AG Grid V2 feature flag), when users try to
search by a UUID column.
I believe that probably the UUID columns are being added to the Search by
column when perhaps they shouldn't.
As far as I know, the Search by functionality only supports text columns and
it only supports a basic starts with query.
But for UUIDs the query would have to support casting or just use equality,
which I guess is something not supported right now and probably we should just
avoid UUID columns from appearing in the search dropdown.
From my investigation, I think the issue lies in somewhere in the line 1455
of TableChart.tsx:
useEffect(() => {
const options = (
columns as unknown as ColumnWithLooseAccessor &
{
columnKey: string;
sortType?: string;
}[]
)
.filter(col => **col?.sortType === 'alphanumeric'**)
.map(column => ({
value: column.columnKey,
label: column.columnKey,
}));
if (!isEqual(options, searchOptions)) {
setSearchOptions(options || []);
}
}, [columns, searchOptions]);

.filter(col => col?.sortType === 'alphanumeric')
I believe the sort type is coming from the getSortTypeByDataType function in
the same file:
function getSortTypeByDataType(dataType: GenericDataType): DefaultSortTypes {
if (dataType === GenericDataType.Temporal) {
return 'datetime';
}
if (dataType === GenericDataType.String) {
return 'alphanumeric';
}
return 'basic';
}

if (dataType === GenericDataType.String) {
So I suppose UUID are being mapped as GenericDataType.String and then we get
the following query issue:
Error: Received ClickHouse exception, code: 43, server response: Code: 43.
DB::Exception: Illegal type UUID of argument of function ilike: In scope SELECT
event_time AS event_time, event_id AS event_id, user_id AS user_id, event_type
AS event_type FROM default.user_events WHERE (event_time >=
toDateTime('2026-07-03 00:04:46')) AND (event_time < toDateTime('2026-07-06
09:04:46')) AND (event_id ILIKE 'eae8b2f8-8a36-4a89-9fe7-ecd711468bc1%') LIMIT
10. (ILLEGAL_TYPE_OF_ARGUMENT) (for url http://host.docker.internal:8123)
The issue also happens if I just search by the initial characters in the
UUID column.

Additional context
This probably happens with any data source that supports UUID columns, but I
tested with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.
I am NOT using the AG_GRID_TABLE_ENABLED feature flag.
Here is the stack trace when using ClickHouse as database:
