Structure & Module Organization\n- 根目录：`README.md` 给出全貌，`Makefile` 封装日常命令，`CONTRIBUTING.md` 说明贡献流程，`LICENSE` 载明协议。保持根目录扁平，避免巨石文件。\n- 多语言 i18n：`i18n//` 统一三层结构（documents / prompts / skills）。现有语言：中文 `zh`、英文 `en`、希伯来语 `he`，以及高频/常用的 `es`、`hi`、`ar`、`pt`、`ru`、`fr`、`de`、`ja`、`ko`、`it`、`tr`、`nl`、`pl`、`id`、`vi`、`th`、`fa`、`uk`、`bn`、`ta`、`ur`、`ms`、`sw`、`ha`；新增语言遵循同样层级。\n- 文档库：`i18n/zh/documents/` 仍是默认中文方法论入口（如 `i18n/zh/documents/Templates and Resources/代码组织.md` 等），新增语言文档按需在对应 `documents/` 下创建并保持同步。\n- 提示词资产：`i18n/zh/prompts/` 按角色拆分（system / assistant / coding / user），`libs/external/prompts-library/` 提供 Excel ↔ Markdown 互转工具与脚本目录，便于批量维护提示词，适合作为“单一真实来源”。\n- 代码与集成：`libs/` 预留核心实现骨架，`common/`、`database/`、`external/` 分别对应通用模型、存储适配与外部依赖登记；新增模块需保持分层边界与单一职责，避免跨层调用。\n- 备份：`backups/` 内含 `一键备份.sh` 与 `快速备份.py`，用于本地快照或同步，请先在隔离目录试跑，确认输出路径与权限。\n\r\n## Build, Test, and Development Commands\r\n- `make help`：列出所有 Make 目标，是新人快速上手的入口。\r\n- `make lint`：使用 `markdownlint-cli` 校验全仓库 Markdown，一旦新增文档请先跑通（需本地 Node/npm 环境，可用 `npm install -g markdownlint-cli` 安装）。\r\n- `make build` / `make test` / `make clean`：目前为占位，落地具体实现后务必更新脚本和说明；建议在 `Makefile` 旁补充注释并保持幂等，避免修改全局状态。\r\n- 提示词转换：进入 `libs/external/prompts-library/` 后执行 `python main.py` 按交互提示进行转换，运行前请确认虚拟环境、依赖与输出目录，并在完成后检查生成 Markdown 是否符合 lint 规则。\n\r\n## Coding Style & Naming Conventions\r\n- 文字层：文档、注释、日志使用中文；代码符号（函数 / 变量 / 模块）统一英文且语义直白，避免晦涩缩写。\r\n- 缩进与排版：全仓保持空格缩进（2 或 4 空格任选其一但不得混用）；Markdown 列表、代码块与表格对齐清晰，行宽控制在 120 列内。Git diff 可读性优先。\r\n- 设计品味：优先消除分支与重复；函数力求单一职责且短小；命名遵循小写加中划线或下划线，不使用空格与特殊字符；跨模块接口保持稳定签名。\r\n- 依赖管理：新增工具或库时记录安装方式、最小版本与来源，必要时在 `i18n/zh/documents/Templates and Resources/工具集.md` 或 README 中补充，并说明为何需要它（性能、兼容、功能）。\r\n\r\n## Testing Guidelines\r\n- 当前无实测用例；引入代码时请至少提供最小可复现测试。推荐 Python 使用 `pytest`，文件命名 `test_*.py`，夹具精简可读，遵循 red-green-refactor 循环。\r\n- 文档与提示词改动：提交前运行 `make lint`；如转换脚本涉及数据，附带示例输入 / 输出说明或最小数据样例，确保可重复。\r\n- 覆盖率基线由模块维护者设定；若暂无标准，确保主流程和边界条件均可被测试验证，必要时在 PR 描述中写明未覆盖的风险，并建议后续补测计划。\r\n\r\n## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines\r\n- Commit 建议遵循简化 Conventional Commits：`feat|fix|docs|chore|refactor|test: scope – summary`，一句话说明行为与范围；避免笼统的 “update”。\r\n- PR 必填：变更摘要、动机或关联 Issue、测试与验证步骤（列出运行的命令与结果概览）；涉及文档 / UI 的修改应附对比截图或链接，方便 reviewer 快速复核。\r\n- 提交前清单：跑通 `make lint`；若新增脚本 / 依赖，更新对应文档与 `Makefile` 目标；确认不携带临时文件或机密数据，并在描述中注明潜在风险或需要 reviewer 特别关注的点。\r\n\r\n## Security & Configuration Tips\r\n- 运行备份或转换脚本前，确认输出目录不会覆盖私有数据；建议先在临时目录试跑并检查生成文件，必要时使用只读副本。\r\n- 外部依赖来源记录在 `libs/external/` 目录下，增减依赖时同步维护，保持可追溯；引入第三方脚本需标明许可证与来源。\r\n\r\n## Architecture Overview & Workflow\r\n- 工作流倡导「规划 → 上下文固定 → 分步实现 → 自测 → 复盘」，对应资产分别存放在 `i18n/zh/documents/`、`i18n/zh/prompts/`、`libs/` 与备份脚本中。保持单向数据流和清晰责任边界可以避免后期维护成本激增。\n- 设计决策与目录结构更新后，请同步修订本文件与相关文档，确保团队共享同一真相源，减少口头约定与隐式规则。\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n# CLAUDE.md\r\n\r\nThis file provides guidance to Claude series models when working with code in this repository.\r\n\r\n## Repository Overview\r\n\r\nThis is the **Vibe Coding CN** repository, a workflow, toolset, and knowledge base for advanced AI-assisted programming.

\n\n---\n\n## 🖼️ 概览\n\n**Vibe Coding** 是一个与 AI 结对编程的终极工作流程，旨在帮助开发者丝滑地将想法变为现实。本指南详细介绍了从项目构思、技术选型、实施规划到具体开发、调试和扩展的全过程，强调以**规划驱动**和**模块化**为核心，避免让 AI 失控导致项目混乱。\n\n> **核心理念**: *规划就是一切。* 谨慎让 AI 自主规划，否则你的代码库会变成一团无法管理的乱麻。\n\n**注意**：以下经验分享并非普遍适用，请在具体实践中结合场景，辩证采纳。\n\n## 🔑 元方法论 (Meta-Methodology)\n\n该思想的核心是构建一个能够**自我优化**的 AI 系统。其递归本质可分解为以下步骤：\n\n> 延伸阅读：[A Formalization of Recursive Self-Optimizing Generative Systems](./i18n/zh/documents/Methodology%20and%20Principles/A%20Formalization%20of%20Recursive%20Self-Optimizing%20Generative%20Systems.md)\n\n#### 1. 定义核心角色：\n\n* **α-提示词 (生成器)**: 一个“母体”提示词，其唯一职责是**生成**其他提示词或技能。\n* **Ω-提示词 (优化器)**: 另一个“母体”提示词，其唯一职责是**优化**其他提示词或技能。\n\n#### 2. 描述递归的生命周期：\n\n1. **创生 (Bootstrap)**:\n * 使用 AI 生成 `α-提示词` 和 `Ω-提示词` 的初始版本 (v1)。\n\n2. **自省与进化 (Self-Correction & Evolution)**:\n * 使用 `Ω-提示词 (v1)` **优化** `α-提示词 (v1)`，从而得到一个更强大的 `α-提示词 (v2)`。\n\n3. **创造 (Generation)**:\n * 使用**进化后的** `α-提示词 (v2)` 生成所有需要的目标提示词和技能。\n\n4. **循环与飞跃 (Recursive Loop)**:\n * 将新生成的、更强大的产物（甚至包括新版本的 `Ω-提示词`）反馈给系统，再次用于优化 `α-提示词`，从而启动持续进化。\n\n#### 3. 终极目标：\n\n通过此持续的**递归优化循环**，系统在每次迭代中实现**自我超越**，无限逼近预设的**预期状态**。\n\n## 🧭 道\n\n* **凡是 ai 能做的，就不要人工做**\n* **一切问题问 ai**\n* **目的主导：开发过程中的一切动作围绕\"目的\"展开**\n* **上下文是 vibe coding 的第一性要素，垃圾进，垃圾出**\n* **系统性思考，实体，链接，功能/目的，三个维度**\n* **数据与函数即是编程的一切**\n* **输入，处理，输出刻画整个过程**\n* **多问 ai 是什么？，为什么？，怎么做？**\n* **先结构，后代码，一定要规划好框架，不然后面技术债还不完**\n* **奥卡姆剃刀定理，如无必要，勿增代码**\n* **帕累托法则，关注重要的那20%**\n* **逆向思考，先明确你的需求，从需求逆向构建代码**\n* **重复，多试几次，实在不行重新开个窗口，**\n* **专注，极致的专注可以击穿代码，一次只做一件事（神人除外）**\n\n\n## 🧩 法\n\n* **一句话目标 + 非目标**\n* **正交性，功能不要太重复了，（这个分场景）**\n* **能抄不写，不重复造轮子，先问 ai 有没有合适的仓库，下载下来改**\n* **一定要看官方文档，先把官方文档爬下来喂给 ai**\n* **按职责拆模块**\n* **接口先行，实现后补**\n* **一次只改一个模块**\n* **文档即上下文，不是事后补**\n\n## 🛠️ 术\n\n* 明确写清：**能改什么，不能改什么**\n* Debug 只给：**预期 vs 实际 + 最小复现**\n* 测试可交给 AI，**断言人审**\n* 代码一多就**切会话**\n\n## 📋 器\n\n### 集成开发环境 (IDE) & 终端\n\n* [**Visual Studio Code**](https://code.visualstudio.com/):

\n⚙️ 完整设置流程\n\n
\n1. 游戏设计文档（Game Design Document）\n\n- 把你的游戏创意交给 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5**，让它生成一份简洁的 **游戏设计文档**，格式为 Markdown，文件名为 `game-design-document.md`。\n- 自己审阅并完善，确保与你的愿景一致。初期可以很简陋，目标是给 AI 提供游戏结构和意图的上下文。不要过度设计，后续会迭代。\n

\n2. 技术栈与 CLAUDE.md / Agents.md\n\n- 让 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5** 为你的游戏推荐最合适的技术栈（例如：多人3D游戏用 ThreeJS + WebSocket），保存为 `tech-stack.md`。\n - 要求它提出 **最简单但最健壮** 的技术栈。\n- 在终端中打开 **Claude Code** 或 **Codex CLI**，使用 `/init` 命令，它会读取你已创建的两个 .md 文件，生成一套规则来正确引导大模型。\n- **关键：一定要审查生成的规则。** 确保规则强调 **模块化**（多文件）和禁止 **单体巨文件**（monolith）。可能需要手动修改或补充规则。\n - **极其重要：** 某些规则必须设为 **\"Always\"**（始终应用），确保 AI 在生成任何代码前都强制阅读。例如添加以下规则并标记为 \"Always\"：\n > ```\n > # 重要提示：\n > # 写任何代码前必须完整阅读 memory-bank/@architecture.md（包含完整数据库结构）\n > # 写任何代码前必须完整阅读 memory-bank/@game-design-document.md\n > # 每完成一个重大功能或里程碑后，必须更新 memory-bank/@architecture.md\n > ```\n - 其他（非 Always）规则要引导 AI 遵循你技术栈的最佳实践（如网络、状态管理等）。\n - *如果想要代码最干净、项目最优化，这一整套规则设置是强制性的。*\n
\n\n
\n3. 实施计划（Implementation Plan）\n\n- 将以下内容提供给 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5**：\n - 游戏设计文档（`game-design-document.md`）\n - 技术栈推荐（`tech-stack.md`）\n- 让它生成一份详细的 **实施计划**（Markdown 格式），包含一系列给 AI 开发者的分步指令。\n - 每一步要小而具体。\n - 每一步都必须包含验证正确性的测试。\n - 严禁包含代码——只写清晰、具体的指令。\n - 先聚焦于 **基础游戏**，完整功能后面再加。\n
\n\n
\n4. 记忆库（Memory Bank）\n\n- 新建项目文件夹，并在 VSCode 中打开。\n- 在项目根目录下创建子文件夹 `memory-bank`。\n- 将以下文件放入 `memory-bank`：\n - `game-design-document.md`\n - `tech-stack.md`\n - `implementation-plan.md`\n - `progress.md`（新建一个空文件，用于记录已完成步骤）\n - `architecture.md`（新建一个空文件，用于记录每个文件的作用）\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n🎮 Vibe Coding 开发基础游戏\n\n现在进入最爽的阶段！\n\n
\n确保一切清晰\n\n- 在 VSCode 扩展中打开 **Codex** 或 **Claude Code**，或者在项目终端启动 Claude Code / Codex CLI。\n- 提示词：阅读 `/memory-bank` 里所有文档，`implementation-plan.md` 是否完全清晰？你有哪些问题需要我澄清，让它对你来说 100% 明确？\n- 它通常会问 9-10 个问题。全部回答完后，让它根据你的回答修改 `implementation-plan.md`，让计划更完善。\n
\n\n
\n你的第一个实施提示词\n\n- 打开 **Codex** 或 **Claude Code**（扩展或终端）。\n- 提示词：阅读 `/memory-bank` 所有文档，然后执行实施计划的第 1 步。我会负责跑测试。在我验证测试通过前，不要开始第 2 步。验证通过后，打开 `progress.md` 记录你做了什么供后续开发者参考，再把新的架构洞察添加到 `architecture.md` 中解释每个文件的作用。\n- **永远** 先用 \"Ask\" 模式或 \"Plan Mode\"（Claude Code 中按 `shift+tab`），确认满意后再让 AI 执行该步骤。\n- **极致 Vibe：** 安装 [Superwhisper](https://superwhisper.com)，用语音随便跟 Claude 或 gpt-5.1-codex 聊天，不用打字。\n
\n\n
\n工作流\n\n- 完成第 1 步后：\n - 把改动提交到 Git（不会用就问 AI）。\n - 新建聊天（`/new` 或 `/clear`）。\n - 提示词：阅读 memory-bank 所有文件，阅读 progress.md 了解之前的工作进度，然后继续实施计划第 2 步。在我验证测试前不要开始第 3 步。\n- 重复此流程，直到整个 `implementation-plan.md` 全部完成。\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n✨ 添加细节功能\n\n恭喜！你已经做出了基础游戏！可能还很粗糙、缺少功能，但现在可以尽情实验和打磨了。\n- 想要雾效、后期处理、特效、音效？更好的飞机/汽车/城堡？绝美天空？\n- 每增加一个主要功能，就新建一个 `feature-implementation.md`，写短步骤+测试。\n- 继续增量式实现和测试。\n\n
\n\n
\n🐞 修复 Bug 与卡壳情况\n\n
\n常规修复\n\n- 如果某个提示词失败或搞崩了项目：\n - Claude Code 用 `/rewind` 回退；用 gpt-5.1-codex 的话多提交 git，需要时 reset。\n- 报错处理：\n - **JavaScript 错误：** 打开浏览器控制台（F12），复制错误，贴给 AI；视觉问题截图发给它。\n - **懒人方案：** 安装 [BrowserTools](https://browsertools.agentdesk.ai/installation)，自动复制错误和截图。\n
\n\n
\n疑难杂症\n\n- 实在卡住：\n - 回退到上一个 git commit（`git reset`），换新提示词重试。\n- 极度卡壳：\n - 用 [RepoPrompt](https://repoprompt.com/) 或 [uithub](https://uithub.com/) 把整个代码库合成一个文件，然后丢给 **gpt-5.1-codex 或 Claude** 求救。\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n💡 技巧与窍门\n\n
\nClaude Code & Codex 使用技巧\n\n- **终端版 Claude Code / Codex CLI：** 在 VSCode 终端里运行，能直接看 diff、喂上下文，不用离开工作区。\n- **Claude Code 的 `/rewind`：** 迭代跑偏时一键回滚到之前状态。\n- **自定义命令：** 创建像 `/explain $参数` 这样的快捷命令，触发提示词：“深入分析代码，彻底理解 $参数 是怎么工作的。理解完告诉我，我再给你任务。” 让模型先拉满上下文再改代码。\n- **清理上下文：** 经常用 `/clear` 或 `/compact`（保留历史对话）。\n- **省时大法（风险自负）：** 用 `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions` 或 `codex --yolo`，彻底关闭确认弹窗。\n
\n\n
\n其他实用技巧\n\n- **小修改：** 用 gpt-5.1-codex (medium)\n- **写顶级营销文案：** 用 Opus 4.1\n- **生成优秀 2D 精灵图：** 用 ChatGPT + Nano Banana\n- **生成音乐：** 用 Suno\n- **生成音效：** 用 ElevenLabs\n- **生成视频：** 用 Sora 2\n- **提升提示词效果：**\n - 加一句：“慢慢想，不着急，重要的是严格按我说的做，执行完美。如果我表达不够精确请提问。”\n - 在 Claude Code 中触发深度思考的关键词强度：`think` < `think hard` < `think harder` < `ultrathink`。\n

\n\n---\n\n## 🖼️ 概览\n\n**Vibe Coding** 是一个与 AI 结对编程的终极工作流程，旨在帮助开发者丝滑地将想法变为现实。本指南详细介绍了从项目构思、技术选型、实施规划到具体开发、调试和扩展的全过程，强调以**规划驱动**和**模块化**为核心，避免让 AI 失控导致项目混乱。\n\n> **核心理念**: *规划就是一切。* 谨慎让 AI 自主规划，否则你的代码库会变成一团无法管理的乱麻。\n\n**注意**：以下经验分享并非普遍适用，请在具体实践中结合场景，辩证采纳。\n\n## 🔑 元方法论 (Meta-Methodology)\n\n该思想的核心是构建一个能够**自我优化**的 AI 系统。其递归本质可分解为以下步骤：\n\n> 延伸阅读：[A Formalization of Recursive Self-Optimizing Generative Systems](./i18n/zh/documents/Methodology%20and%20Principles/A%20Formalization%20of%20Recursive%20Self-Optimizing%20Generative%20Systems.md)\n\n#### 1. 定义核心角色：\n\n* **α-提示词 (生成器)**: 一个“母体”提示词，其唯一职责是**生成**其他提示词或技能。\n* **Ω-提示词 (优化器)**: 另一个“母体”提示词，其唯一职责是**优化**其他提示词或技能。\n\n#### 2. 描述递归的生命周期：\n\n1. **创生 (Bootstrap)**:\n * 使用 AI 生成 `α-提示词` 和 `Ω-提示词` 的初始版本 (v1)。\n\n2. **自省与进化 (Self-Correction & Evolution)**:\n * 使用 `Ω-提示词 (v1)` **优化** `α-提示词 (v1)`，从而得到一个更强大的 `α-提示词 (v2)`。\n\n3. **创造 (Generation)**:\n * 使用**进化后的** `α-提示词 (v2)` 生成所有需要的目标提示词和技能。\n\n4. **循环与飞跃 (Recursive Loop)**:\n * 将新生成的、更强大的产物（甚至包括新版本的 `Ω-提示词`）反馈给系统，再次用于优化 `α-提示词`，从而启动持续进化。\n\n#### 3. 终极目标：\n\n通过此持续的**递归优化循环**，系统在每次迭代中实现**自我超越**，无限逼近预设的**预期状态**。\n\n## 🧭 道\n\n* **凡是 ai 能做的，就不要人工做**\n* **一切问题问 ai**\n* **目的主导：开发过程中的一切动作围绕\"目的\"展开**\n* **上下文是 vibe coding 的第一性要素，垃圾进，垃圾出**\n* **系统性思考，实体，链接，功能/目的，三个维度**\n* **数据与函数即是编程的一切**\n* **输入，处理，输出刻画整个过程**\n* **多问 ai 是什么？，为什么？，怎么做？**\n* **先结构，后代码，一定要规划好框架，不然后面技术债还不完**\n* **奥卡姆剃刀定理，如无必要，勿增代码**\n* **帕累托法则，关注重要的那20%**\n* **逆向思考，先明确你的需求，从需求逆向构建代码**\n* **重复，多试几次，实在不行重新开个窗口，**\n* **专注，极致的专注可以击穿代码，一次只做一件事（神人除外）**\n\n\n## 🧩 法\n\n* **一句话目标 + 非目标**\n* **正交性，功能不要太重复了，（这个分场景）**\n* **能抄不写，不重复造轮子，先问 ai 有没有合适的仓库，下载下来改**\n* **一定要看官方文档，先把官方文档爬下来喂给 ai**\n* **按职责拆模块**\n* **接口先行，实现后补**\n* **一次只改一个模块**\n* **文档即上下文，不是事后补**\n\n## 🛠️ 术\n\n* 明确写清：**能改什么，不能改什么**\n* Debug 只给：**预期 vs 实际 + 最小复现**\n* 测试可交给 AI，**断言人审**\n* 代码一多就**切会话**\n\n## 📋 器\n\n### 集成开发环境 (IDE) & 终端\n\n* [**Visual Studio Code**](https://code.visualstudio.com/):

\n⚙️ 完整设置流程\n\n
\n1. 游戏设计文档（Game Design Document）\n\n- 把你的游戏创意交给 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5**，让它生成一份简洁的 **游戏设计文档**，格式为 Markdown，文件名为 `game-design-document.md`。\n- 自己审阅并完善，确保与你的愿景一致。初期可以很简陋，目标是给 AI 提供游戏结构和意图的上下文。不要过度设计，后续会迭代。\n
\n\n
\n2. 技术栈与 CLAUDE.md / Agents.md\n\n- 让 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5** 为你的游戏推荐最合适的技术栈（例如：多人3D游戏用 ThreeJS + WebSocket），保存为 `tech-stack.md`。\n - 要求它提出 **最简单但最健壮** 的技术栈。\n- 在终端中打开 **Claude Code** 或 **Codex CLI**，使用 `/init` 命令，它会读取你已创建的两个 .md 文件，生成一套规则来正确引导大模型。\n- **关键：一定要审查生成的规则。** 确保规则强调 **模块化**（多文件）和禁止 **单体巨文件**（monolith）。可能需要手动修改或补充规则。\n - **极其重要：** 某些规则必须设为 **\"Always\"**（始终应用），确保 AI 在生成任何代码前都强制阅读。例如添加以下规则并标记为 \"Always\"：\n > ```\n > # 重要提示：\n > # 写任何代码前必须完整阅读 memory-bank/@architecture.md（包含完整数据库结构）\n > # 写任何代码前必须完整阅读 memory-bank/@game-design-document.md\n > # 每完成一个重大功能或里程碑后，必须更新 memory-bank/@architecture.md\n > ```\n - 其他（非 Always）规则要引导 AI 遵循你技术栈的最佳实践（如网络、状态管理等）。\n - *如果想要代码最干净、项目最优化，这一整套规则设置是强制性的。*\n
\n\n
\n3. 实施计划（Implementation Plan）\n\n- 将以下内容提供给 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5**：\n - 游戏设计文档（`game-design-document.md`）\n - 技术栈推荐（`tech-stack.md`）\n- 让它生成一份详细的 **实施计划**（Markdown 格式），包含一系列给 AI 开发者的分步指令。\n - 每一步要小而具体。\n - 每一步都必须包含验证正确性的测试。\n - 严禁包含代码——只写清晰、具体的指令。\n - 先聚焦于 **基础游戏**，完整功能后面再加。\n
\n\n
\n4. 记忆库（Memory Bank）\n\n- 新建项目文件夹，并在 VSCode 中打开。\n- 在项目根目录下创建子文件夹 `memory-bank`。\n- 将以下文件放入 `memory-bank`：\n - `game-design-document.md`\n - `tech-stack.md`\n - `implementation-plan.md`\n - `progress.md`（新建一个空文件，用于记录已完成步骤）\n - `architecture.md`（新建一个空文件，用于记录每个文件的作用）\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n🎮 Vibe Coding 开发基础游戏\n\n现在进入最爽的阶段！\n\n
\n确保一切清晰\n\n- 在 VSCode 扩展中打开 **Codex** 或 **Claude Code**，或者在项目终端启动 Claude Code / Codex CLI。\n- 提示词：阅读 `/memory-bank` 里所有文档，`implementation-plan.md` 是否完全清晰？你有哪些问题需要我澄清，让它对你来说 100% 明确？\n- 它通常会问 9-10 个问题。全部回答完后，让它根据你的回答修改 `implementation-plan.md`，让计划更完善。\n
\n\n
\n你的第一个实施提示词\n\n- 打开 **Codex** 或 **Claude Code**（扩展或终端）。\n- 提示词：阅读 `/memory-bank` 所有文档，然后执行实施计划的第 1 步。我会负责跑测试。在我验证测试通过前，不要开始第 2 步。验证通过后，打开 `progress.md` 记录你做了什么供后续开发者参考，再把新的架构洞察添加到 `architecture.md` 中解释每个文件的作用。\n- **永远** 先用 \"Ask\" 模式或 \"Plan Mode\"（Claude Code 中按 `shift+tab`），确认满意后再让 AI 执行该步骤。\n- **极致 Vibe：** 安装 [Superwhisper](https://superwhisper.com)，用语音随便跟 Claude 或 gpt-5.1-codex 聊天，不用打字。\n
\n\n
\n工作流\n\n- 完成第 1 步后：\n - 把改动提交到 Git（不会用就问 AI）。\n - 新建聊天（`/new` 或 `/clear`）。\n - 提示词：阅读 memory-bank 所有文件，阅读 progress.md 了解之前的工作进度，然后继续实施计划第 2 步。在我验证测试前不要开始第 3 步。\n- 重复此流程，直到整个 `implementation-plan.md` 全部完成。\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n✨ 添加细节功能\n\n恭喜！你已经做出了基础游戏！可能还很粗糙、缺少功能，但现在可以尽情实验和打磨了。\n- 想要雾效、后期处理、特效、音效？更好的飞机/汽车/城堡？绝美天空？\n- 每增加一个主要功能，就新建一个 `feature-implementation.md`，写短步骤+测试。\n- 继续增量式实现和测试。\n\n
\n\n
\n🐞 修复 Bug 与卡壳情况\n\n
\n常规修复\n\n- 如果某个提示词失败或搞崩了项目：\n - Claude Code 用 `/rewind` 回退；用 gpt-5.1-codex 的话多提交 git，需要时 reset。\n- 报错处理：\n - **JavaScript 错误：** 打开浏览器控制台（F12），复制错误，贴给 AI；视觉问题截图发给它。\n - **懒人方案：** 安装 [BrowserTools](https://browsertools.agentdesk.ai/installation)，自动复制错误和截图。\n
\n\n
\n疑难杂症\n\n- 实在卡住：\n - 回退到上一个 git commit（`git reset`），换新提示词重试。\n- 极度卡壳：\n - 用 [RepoPrompt](https://repoprompt.com/) 或 [uithub](https://uithub.com/) 把整个代码库合成一个文件，然后丢给 **gpt-5.1-codex 或 Claude** 求救。\n

\n💡 技巧与窍门\n\n
\nClaude Code & Codex 使用技巧\n\n- **终端版 Claude Code / Codex CLI：** 在 VSCode 终端里运行，能直接看 diff、喂上下文，不用离开工作区。\n- **Claude Code 的 `/rewind`：** 迭代跑偏时一键回滚到之前状态。\n- **自定义命令：** 创建像 `/explain $参数` 这样的快捷命令，触发提示词：“深入分析代码，彻底理解 $参数 是怎么工作的。理解完告诉我，我再给你任务。” 让模型先拉满上下文再改代码。\n- **清理上下文：** 经常用 `/clear` 或 `/compact`（保留历史对话）。\n- **省时大法（风险自负）：** 用 `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions` 或 `codex --yolo`，彻底关闭确认弹窗。\n
\n\n
\n其他实用技巧\n\n- **小修改：** 用 gpt-5.1-codex (medium)\n- **写顶级营销文案：** 用 Opus 4.1\n- **生成优秀 2D 精灵图：** 用 ChatGPT + Nano Banana\n- **生成音乐：** 用 Suno\n- **生成音效：** 用 ElevenLabs\n- **生成视频：** 用 Sora 2\n- **提升提示词效果：**\n - 加一句：“慢慢想，不着急，重要的是严格按我说的做，执行完美。如果我表达不够精确请提问。”\n - 在 Claude Code 中触发深度思考的关键词强度：`think` < `think hard` < `think harder` < `ultrathink`。\n

The system generates artifacts, optimizes them with respect to an idealized objective, and uses the optimized artifacts to update its own generative mechanism. We provide a formal characterization of this process as a self-mapping on a space of generators, identify its fixed-point structure, and express the resulting self-referential dynamics using algebraic and λ-calculus formulations. The analysis reveals that such systems naturally instantiate a bootstrapping meta-generative process governed by fixed-point semantics.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Introduction\n\nRecent advances in automated prompt engineering, meta-learning, and self-improving AI systems suggest a shift from optimizing individual outputs toward optimizing the mechanisms that generate them. In such systems, the object of computation is no longer a solution, but a *generator of solutions*.\n\nThis work formalizes a recursive self-optimizing framework in which a generator produces artifacts, an optimization operator improves them relative to an idealized objective, and a meta-generator updates the generator itself using the optimization outcome. Repeated application of this loop yields a sequence of generators that may converge to a stable, self-consistent generative capability.\n\nOur contribution is a compact formal model capturing this behavior and a demonstration that the system admits a natural interpretation in terms of fixed points and self-referential computation.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Formal Model\n\nLet (\\mathcal{I}) denote an intention space and (\\mathcal{P}) a space of prompts, programs, or skills. Define a generator space\n$$\n\\mathcal{G} \\subseteq \\mathcal{P}^{\\mathcal{I}},\n$$\nwhere each generator (G \\in \\mathcal{G}) is a function\n$$\nG : \\mathcal{I} \\to \\mathcal{P}.\n$$\n\nLet (\\Omega) denote an abstract representation of an ideal target or evaluation criterion. We define:\n$$\nO : \\mathcal{P} \\times \\Omega \\to \\mathcal{P},\n$$\nan optimization operator, and\n$$\nM : \\mathcal{G} \\times \\mathcal{P} \\to \\mathcal{G},\n$$ a meta-generative operator that updates generators using optimized artifacts.\n\nGiven an initial intention (I \\in \\mathcal{I}), the system evolves as follows:\n$$\nP = G(I),\n$$\n$$\nP^{*} = O(P, \\Omega),\n$$\n$$\nG' = M(G, P^{*}).\n$$\n\n---\n\n## 3. Recursive Update Operator\n\nThe above process induces a self-map on the generator space:\n$$\n\\Phi : \\mathcal{G} \\to \\mathcal{G},\n$$\ndefined by\n$$\n\\Phi(G) = M\\big(G,; O(G(I), \\Omega)\\big).\n$$\n\nIteration of (\\Phi) yields a sequence ({G_n}*{n \\ge 0}) such that\n$$\nG*{n+1} = \\Phi(G_n).\n$$\n\nThe system’s objective is not a particular (P^{*}), but the convergence behavior of the sequence ({G_n}).\n\n---\n\n## 4. Fixed-Point Semantics\n\nA *stable generative capability* is defined as a fixed point of (\\Phi):\n$$\nG^{*} \\in \\mathcal{G}, \\quad \\Phi(G^{*}) = G^{*}.\n$$\n\nSuch a generator is invariant under its own generate–optimize–update cycle. When (\\Phi) satisfies appropriate continuity or contractiveness conditions, (G^{*}) can be obtained as the limit of iterative application:\n$$\nG^{*} = \\lim_{n \\to \\infty} \\Phi^{n}(G_0).\n$$\n\nThis fixed point represents a self-consistent generator whose outputs already encode the criteria required for its own improvement.\n\n---\n\n## 5. Algebraic and λ-Calculus Representation\n\nThe recursive structure can be expressed using untyped λ-calculus. Let (I) and (\\Omega) be constant terms, and let (G), (O), and (M) be λ-terms. Define the single-step update functional:\n$$\n\\text{STEP} ;\\equiv; \\lambda G.; (M;G)\\big((O;(G;I));\\Omega\\big).\n$$\n\nIntroduce a fixed-point combinator:\n$$\nY ;\\equiv; \\lambda f.(\\lambda x.f(x,x))(\\lambda x.f(x,x)).\n$$\n\nThe stable generator is then expressed as:\n$$\nG^{*} ;\\equiv; Y;\\text{STEP},\n$$\nsatisfying\n$$\nG^{*} = \\text{STEP};G^{*}.\n$$\n\nThis formulation makes explicit the self-referential nature of the system: the generator is defined as the fixed point of a functional that transforms generators using their own outputs.\n\n---\n\n## 6. Discussion\n\nThe formalization shows that recursive self-optimization naturally leads to fixed-point structures rather than terminal outputs. The generator becomes both the subject and object of computation, and improvement is achieved through convergence in generator space rather than optimization in output space.\n\nSuch systems align with classical results on self-reference, recursion, and bootstrapping computation, and suggest a principled foundation for self-improving AI architectures and automated meta-prompting systems.\n\n---\n\n## 7. Conclusion\n\nWe presented a formal model of recursive self-optimizing generative systems and characterized their behavior via self-maps, fixed points, and λ-calculus recursion. The analysis demonstrates that stable generative capabilities correspond to fixed points of a meta-generative operator, providing a concise theoretical basis for self-improving generation mechanisms.\n\n---\n\n### Notes for arXiv submission\n\n* **Category suggestions**: `cs.LO`, `cs.AI`, or `math.CT`\n* **Length**: appropriate for extended abstract (≈3–4 pages LaTeX)\n* **Next extension**: fixed-point existence conditions, convergence theorems, or proof sketches\n\n---\n\n## 附录：高层次概念释义 (Appendix: High-Level Conceptual Explanation)\n\n该论文的核心思想可以被通俗地理解为一个能够**自我完善**的 AI 系统。其递归本质可分解为以下步骤：\n\n#### 1. 定义核心角色：\n\n* **α-提示词 (生成器)**: 一个“母体”提示词，其唯一职责是**生成**其他提示词或技能。\n* **Ω-提示词 (优化器)**: 另一个“母体”提示词，其唯一职责是**优化**其他提示词或技能。\n\n#### 2. 描述递归的生命周期：\n\n1. **创生 (Bootstrap)**:\n * 用 AI 生成 `α-提示词` 和 `Ω-提示词` 的初始版本 (v1)。\n\n2. **自省与进化 (Self-Correction & Evolution)**:\n * 用 `Ω-提示词 (v1)` 去**优化** `α-提示词 (v1)`，得到一个更强大的 `α-提示词 (v2)`。\n\n3. **创造 (Generation)**:\n * 用**进化后的** `α-提示词 (v2)` 去生成我们需要的**所有**目标提示词和技能。\n\n4. **循环与飞跃 (Recursive Loop)**:\n * 最关键的一步：将新生成的、更强大的产物（甚至包括新版本的 `Ω-提示词`）反馈给系统，再次用于优化 `α-提示词`，从而启动下一轮进化。\n\n#### 3. 终极目标：\n\n通过这个永不停止的**递归优化循环**，系统在每一次迭代中都进行**自我超越**，无限逼近我们设定的**理想状态**。" }, { "path": "i18n/en/documents/Methodology and Principles/Development_Experience.md", "content": "TRANSLATED CONTENT:\n# **开发经验与项目规范整理文档**\n\n## 目录\n\n1. 变量名维护方案\n2. 文件结构与命名规范\n3. 编码规范（Coding Style Guide）\n4. 系统架构原则\n5. 程序设计核心思想\n6. 微服务\n7.

Definition of Glue Coding**\n\n**Glue coding** is a new way of building software whose core idea is:\n\n> **Almost entirely reuse mature open-source components, and combine them into a complete system with a minimal amount of “glue code.”**\n\nIt emphasizes “connecting” rather than “creating,” and is especially efficient in the AI era.\n\n## **2. Background**\n\nTraditional software engineering often requires developers to:\n\n* Design the architecture\n* Write the logic themselves\n* Manually handle various details\n* Repeatedly reinvent the wheel\n\nThis leads to high development costs, long cycles, and low success rates.\n\nThe current ecosystem has fundamentally changed:\n\n* There are thousands of mature open-source libraries on GitHub\n* Frameworks cover various scenarios (Web, AI, distributed systems, model inference…)\n* GPT / Grok can help search, analyze, and combine these projects\n\nIn this environment, writing code from scratch is no longer the most efficient way.\n\nThus, “glue coding” becomes a new paradigm.\n\n## **3. Core Principles of Glue Coding**\n\n### **3.1 Don’t write what you don’t have to, and write as little as possible when you must**\n\nAny functionality with a mature existing implementation should not be reinvented.\n\n### **3.2 Copy-and-use whenever possible**\n\nDirectly copying and using community-verified code is part of normal engineering practices, not laziness.\n\n### **3.3 Stand on the shoulders of giants, don’t try to become a giant**\n\nLeverage existing frameworks instead of trying to write another “better wheel” yourself.\n\n### **3.4 Do not modify upstream repository code**\n\nAll open-source libraries should be kept immutable as much as possible and used as black boxes.\n\n### **3.5 The less custom code the better**\n\nThe code you write should only be responsible for:\n\n* Composition\n* Invocation\n* Encapsulation\n* Adaptation\n\nThis is the so-called **glue layer**.\n\n## **4. Standard Process of Glue Coding**\n\n### **4.1 Clarify requirements**\n\nBreak the system features to be implemented into individual requirement points.\n\n### **4.2 Use GPT/Grok to decompose requirements**\n\nHave AI refine requirements into reusable modules, capability points, and corresponding subtasks.\n\n### **4.3 Search for existing open-source implementations**\n\nUse GPT’s online capabilities (e.g., Grok):\n\n* Search GitHub repositories corresponding to each sub-requirement\n* Check whether reusable components exist\n* Compare quality, implementation approach, licenses, etc.\n\n### **4.4 Download and organize repositories**\n\nPull the selected repositories locally and organize them.\n\n### **4.5 Organize according to the architecture**\n\nPlace these repositories into the project structure, for example:\n\n```\n/services \n/libs \n/third_party \n/glue \n```\n\nAnd emphasize: **Open-source repositories are third-party dependencies and must not be modified.**\n\n### **4.6 Write the glue layer code**\n\nThe roles of the glue code include:\n\n* Encapsulating interfaces\n* Unifying inputs and outputs\n* Connecting different components\n* Implementing minimal business logic\n\nThe final system is assembled from multiple mature modules.\n\n## **5. Value of Glue Coding**\n\n### **5.1 Extremely high success rate**\n\nBecause community-validated mature code is used.\n\n### **5.2 Very fast development**\n\nA large amount of functionality can be reused directly.\n\n### **5.3 Reduced costs**\n\nTime, maintenance, and learning costs are greatly reduced.\n\n### **5.4 More stable systems**\n\nDepend on mature frameworks rather than individual implementations.\n\n### **5.5 Easy to extend**\n\nCapabilities can be upgraded easily by replacing components.\n\n### **5.6 Highly compatible with AI**\n\nGPT can assist with searching, decomposing, and integrating — a natural enhancer for glue engineering.\n\n## **6. Glue Coding vs Traditional Development**\n\n| Item | Traditional Development | Glue Coding |\n| ---------------------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------- |\n| How features are implemented | Write yourself | Reuse open source |\n| Workload | Large | Much smaller |\n| Success rate | Uncertain | High |\n| Speed | Slow | Extremely fast |\n| Error rate | Prone to pitfalls | Uses mature solutions |\n| Focus | “Invent wheels” | “Combine wheels” |\n\n## **7. Typical Application Scenarios for Glue Coding**\n\n* Rapid prototyping\n* Small teams building large systems\n* AI applications / model inference platforms\n* Data processing pipelines\n* Internal tool development\n* System integration\n\n## **8. Future: Glue Engineering Will Become the New Mainstream Programming Approach**\n\nAs AI capabilities continue to strengthen, future developers will no longer need to write large amounts of code themselves, but will instead:\n\n* Find wheels\n* Combine wheels\n* Intelligently connect components\n* Build complex systems at very low cost\n\nGlue coding will become the new standard of software productivity.\n" }, { "path": "i18n/en/documents/Methodology and Principles/vibe_coding_Experience_Collection.md", "content": "TRANSLATED

关注点分离（Separation of Concerns）\n```\nAPI → 服务 → 数据访问 → 数据库\n一目了然，层级清晰\n```\n\n### 2. 可测试性（Testability）\n```\n每个模块可独立测试\n依赖可mock\n```\n\n### 3. 可配置性（Configurability）\n```\n配置与代码分离\n环境变量 > 配置文件 > 默认值\n```\n\n### 4. 可维护性（Maintainability）\n```\n代码自解释\n合理的文件命名\n清晰的目录结构\n```\n\n### 5. 版本控制友好（Git-Friendly）\n```\ndata/、logs/、models/ 添加到 .gitignore\n只提交源代码和配置示例\n```\n\n---\n\n## 🎯 最佳实践建议\n\n1. **使用 `src/` 目录**：把源代码放在专门的src目录，避免顶级目录混乱\n2. **相对导入**：统一使用 `from src.module import thing` 的导入方式\n3. **测试覆盖**：保证核心业务逻辑有单元测试和集成测试\n4. **文档先行**：重要模块都要写README.md说明\n5. **环境隔离**：使用virtualenv或conda创建独立环境\n6. **依赖明确**：所有依赖都写入requirements.txt，并锁定版本\n7. **配置管理**：使用环境变量 + 配置文件的组合方式\n8. **日志分级**：DEBUG、INFO、WARNING、ERROR、FATAL\n9. **错误处理**：不要吞掉异常，要有完整的错误链\n10. **代码规范**：使用black格式化，flake8检查\n\n---\n\n## 🔥 .gitignore 推荐模板\n\n```gitignore\n# Python\n__pycache__/\n*.py[cod]\n*$py.class\n*.so\n.Python\n*.egg-info/\ndist/\nbuild/\n\n# 环境\n.env\n.venv/\nenv/\nvenv/\nENV/\n\n#

关于手机ssh任意位置链接本地计算机，基于frp实现的方法\n\n不会弄怎么办？服务器和电脑都安装好codex（不会直接问gpt怎么安装，终端输入命令就行了），然后把文档粘贴到codex里面让他帮你配置好就行，实在不会弄，直接找我，telegram=https://t.me/desci0 x=https://x.com/123olp （ps：报酬是给我蹭用你的cc或者codex会员，我会另外提供能力范围内的技术支持嘻嘻 ^_^）\n\n# 📌 前置准备工作（Prerequisites）\n\n在开始部署 FRP 服务端与客户端之前，请确保具备以下环境与工具。这些前置条件是保证 FRP 隧道正常工作所必需的。\n\n## 1. 基础环境要求\n\n### ✔ 一台可长期在线的 **AWS EC2 实例**\n\n* 推荐系统：Ubuntu 20.04/22.04（本文以 Ubuntu 为例）\n* 必须具备公网 IP（AWS 默认提供）\n* 需要具备修改安全组规则的权限（开放 FRP 端口）\n\n用途：作为 FRP 服务器端（frps），给 Windows 电脑提供固定访问入口。\n\n## 2. 一台能够上网的 **Windows 电脑**\n\n* Windows 10 或 Windows 11\n* 需要具备普通用户权限（但部分配置需要管理员权限）\n* 必须已安装 **OpenSSH Server**\n\n用途：作为 FRP 客户端（frpc），无论连接什么网络，都可自动挂到 AWS 上。\n\n## 3. 必需下载的软件 / 仓库\n\n### ✔ FRP（Fast Reverse Proxy）\n\n仓库地址（官方）：\n\n```\nhttps://github.com/fatedier/frp\n```\n\n本部署使用版本：\n\n```\nfrp_0.58.1\n```\n\n下载页面：\n\n```\nhttps://github.com/fatedier/frp/releases\n```\n\n需要下载：\n\n* Linux 版（用于 AWS）\n* Windows 版（用于本地电脑）\n\n## 4. 必须安装的软件\n\n### ✔ Windows：OpenSSH Server + OpenSSH Client\n\n安装路径：\n\n```\n设置 → 应用 → 可选功能 → 添加功能\n```\n\n用途：提供 SSH 登录能力，让 FRP 转发到 Windows 的 SSH。\n\n## 5. 终端工具\n\n### ✔ Termius（推荐）\n\n* 用于从手机或电脑通过 SSH 连接你的 Windows\n* 支持生成 SSH Key\n* 支持管理多个主机\n\n必须使用 Termius 生成 SSH 私钥（因为你启用了“仅密钥登录”）。\n\n官方下载：\n\n```\nhttps://termius.com\n```\n\n## 6. 网络与端口要求\n\n在 AWS 安全组中必须开放以下端口：\n\n| 端口 | 用途 | 是否必须 |\n| ------------------------------ | --------------------- | ---- |\n| **FRP 控制端口**（如：1234 或 114514） | frpc → frps 连接 | ✔ 必须 |\n| **SSH 映射端口**（如：12345 或 114515） | Termius → Windows SSH | ✔ 必须 |\n\n若使用 UFW（Ubuntu 防火墙），还需：\n\n```\nsudo ufw allow /tcp\nsudo ufw allow /tcp\n```\n\n## 7. 公钥 / 私钥 准备（密钥登录必需）\n\n你需要预先准备：\n\n* Termius 生成的 SSH 私钥（本地）\n* Termius 生成的 SSH 公钥（需放到 Windows 的 authorized_keys）\n\n本部署已经禁用密码登录，因此 **私钥必须妥善保管，否则将无法登录 Windows**。\n\n## 8. 基本 Linux 操作能力\n\n需要了解以下基础命令（很简单）：\n\n```\ncd /path\nnano / vim / notepad\nchmod / chown\nps -ef | grep\nss -lnpt\nnohup &\ntail -f\n```\n\n你文档中都已覆盖，不会有额外要求。\n\n# 📌 前置条件总结（最终版）\n\n```\n必须具备：\n- AWS EC2（Ubuntu，带公网 IP）\n- Windows 电脑（安装 OpenSSH Server）\n- Termius（用于 SSH + 生成密钥）\n- FRP（下载 Linux + Windows 版本）\n- AWS 安全组已开放 FRP 控制端口与 SSH 映射端口\n- Termius 生成的 SSH 密钥对\n```\n\n只要满足以上前置准备，你的 FRP 隧道、SSH 密钥登录、跨网络远程访问电脑 100% 能正常运行。\n\n如果你愿意，我还可以帮你：\n\n* 把整个文档串成专业正式的一体化教程\n* 为你的文档添加「适用范围、版本说明、架构概览图、流程图」\n* 为 FRP 部署提供 systemd 服务模板\n* 为 Windows 提供后台 frpc 自启脚本（更可靠）\n\n需要的话告诉我！\n\n# FRP 服务器端部署说明\n\n本说明记录了当前 AWS EC2 (Ubuntu) 上的 FRP 服务端配置与操作方法，便于后续维护或重建。\n\n## 基本信息\n- 工作目录：`/home/ubuntu/.frp`\n- FRP 版本：`frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64`\n- 可执行文件：`/home/ubuntu/.frp/frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64/frps`\n- 配置文件：`/home/ubuntu/.frp/frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64/frps.ini`\n- 日志文件：`/home/ubuntu/.frp/frps.log`\n- 启动脚本：`/home/ubuntu/.frp/start_frps.sh`\n- 监听端口：\n - 控制端口 `bind_port = 1234`\n - SSH 映射端口 `12345`\n- token：`123456`\n\n## 安装步骤\n1. 新建目录并下载 FRP：\n ```bash\n mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/.frp\n cd /home/ubuntu/.frp\n wget https://github.com/fatedier/frp/releases/download/v0.58.1/frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz\n tar -zxf frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz\n ```\n2. 创建配置 `/home/ubuntu/.frp/frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64/frps.ini`：\n ```ini\n [common]\n bind_port = 1234\n token = 123456\n ```\n3. 编写启动脚本 `/home/ubuntu/.frp/start_frps.sh`（已就绪）：\n ```bash\n #!/usr/bin/env bash\n set -euo pipefail\n BASE_DIR=\"$(cd \"$(dirname \"$0\")\" && pwd)\"\n FRP_DIR=\"$BASE_DIR/frp_0.58.1_linux_amd64\"\n FRPS_BIN=\"$FRP_DIR/frps\"\n CONFIG_FILE=\"$FRP_DIR/frps.ini\"\n LOG_FILE=\"$BASE_DIR/frps.log\"\n\n if ! [ -x \"$FRPS_BIN\" ]; then\n echo \"frps binary not found at $FRPS_BIN\" >&2\n exit 1\n fi\n if ! [ -f \"$CONFIG_FILE\" ]; then\n echo \"Config not found at $CONFIG_FILE\" >&2\n exit 1\n fi\n\n PIDS=$(pgrep -f \"frps.*frps\\\\.ini\" || true)\n if [ -n \"$PIDS\" ]; then\n echo \"frps is running; restarting (pids: $PIDS)...\"\n kill $PIDS\n sleep 1\n fi\n\n echo \"Starting frps with $CONFIG_FILE (log: $LOG_FILE)\"\n cd \"$FRP_DIR\"\n nohup \"$FRPS_BIN\" -c \"$CONFIG_FILE\" >\"$LOG_FILE\" 2>&1 &\n\n sleep 1\n PIDS=$(pgrep -f \"frps.*frps\\\\.ini\" || true)\n if [ -n \"$PIDS\" ]; then\n echo \"frps started (pid: $PIDS)\"\n else\n echo \"frps failed to start; check $LOG_FILE\" >&2\n exit 1\n fi\n ```\n\n## 启动与停止\n- 启动/重启：\n ```bash\n cd /home/ubuntu/.frp\n bash ./start_frps.sh\n ```\n- 查看进程：`ps -ef | grep frps`\n- 查看监听：`ss -lnpt | grep 1234`\n- 查看日志：`tail -n 50 /home/ubuntu/.frp/frps.log`\n- 停止（如需手动）：`pkill -f \"frps.*frps.ini\"`\n\n## 安全组与防火墙\n- AWS 安全组（sg-099756caee5666062）需开放入站 TCP 1234（FRP 控制）与 12345（SSH 映射）。\n- 若使用 ufw，需执行：\n ```bash\n sudo ufw allow 1234/tcp\n sudo ufw allow 12345/tcp\n ```\n\n## 远程客户端要求\n- Windows `frpc.ini` 中 `server_addr` 指向该 EC2 公网 IP，`server_port=1234`，`remote_port=12345`，token 与服务器一致。\n- Termius/SSH 客户端使用 `ssh lenovo@ -p 12345`，认证方式为密钥（Termius Keychain 生成的私钥）。\n\n## 维护建议\n- FRP 官方已提示 INI 格式未来会被弃用，后续升级建议改用 TOML/YAML。\n- 可将 `start_frps.sh` 注册成 systemd 服务，确保实例重启后自动拉起。\n- 定期检查 `frps.log` 是否有异常连接或错误，并确保 token 不泄露。\n\nFRP Windows 客户端配置说明\n================================\n最后更新：2025-12-05\n适用环境：Windows 10/11，用户 lenovo，本机已安装 OpenSSH Server。\n\n一、目录与文件\n- FRP 程序目录：C:\\frp\\\n - frpc.exe\n - frpc.ini（客户端配置）\n - start_frpc.bat（后台启动脚本）\n- SSH 密钥：\n - 私钥：C:\\Users\\lenovo\\.ssh\\666\n - 公钥：C:\\Users\\lenovo\\.ssh\\666.pub\n - 管理员授权公钥：C:\\ProgramData\\ssh\\666_keys\n\n二、frpc.ini 内容（当前生效）\n[common]\nserver_addr = 13.14.223.23\nserver_port = 1234\ntoken = 123456\n\n[ssh]\ntype = tcp\nlocal_ip = 127.0.0.1\nlocal_port = 22\nremote_port = 12345\n\n三、启动与自启\n1) 手动前台验证（可选）\n PowerShell：\n cd C:\\frp\n .\\frpc.exe -c frpc.ini\n\n2) 后台快捷启动\n 双击 C:\\frp\\start_frpc.bat\n\n3) 开机自启（简单方式）\n 将 start_frpc.bat 复制到启动文件夹：\n C:\\Users\\lenovo\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup\n 下次登录自动后台启动。\n\n四、SSH 连接方式\n- 终端命令：\n ssh -i \"C:\\Users\\lenovo\\.ssh\\666\" -p 12345 lenovo@13.14.223.23\n\n- Termius 填写：\n Host 13.14.223.23\n Port 12345\n User lenovo\n Key 选择 C:\\Users\\lenovo\\.ssh\\666（无口令）\n\n五、权限与安全\n- 私钥权限已限制为 lenovo、SYSTEM 可读。\n- sshd 已关闭密码登录（PasswordAuthentication no），仅密钥。\n- 管理员组用户使用 C:\\ProgramData\\ssh\\666_keys 作为授权列表。\n\n六、常用检查\n- 查看 frpc 运行：任务管理器或\n netstat -ano | findstr 1234\n- 查看 frpc 日志（WSL 版，如需）：/tmp/frpc-wsl.log\n- 测试 SSH：上面的 ssh 命令返回 ok 即通。\n\n七、故障排查速查\n- \"Permission denied (publickey)\":\n * 确认 666 公钥在 C:\\ProgramData\\ssh\\666_keys\n * 确认私钥路径/权限正确。\n- \"Connection refused\": frps 未运行或端口 1234/12345 未放行。\n- frpc 未连接：前台运行 frpc 查看提示，或检查 frpc.ini 中 server_addr、token 是否匹配。\n\n\nTermius（手机端）连接步骤：\n\n1. 创建主机\n -

KISS (保持简单): 论述本方案如何体现了直接、清晰和避免不必要复杂性的特点。\n - YAGNI (你不会需要它): 论述本方案如何严格聚焦于当前需求，移除了哪些潜在的非必要功能。\n - SOLID 原则: 分别或合并论述方案是如何具体应用单一职责、开闭、里氏替换、接口隔离、依赖反转这五个原则的，并引用代码/设计细节作为证据。\n\n## Suggestions:\n以下是一些可以提供给用户以帮助AI更精准应用这些原则的建议：\n\n使需求更利于原则应用的建议：\n1. 明确变更点: 在提问时，可以指出“未来我们可能会增加X类型的支持”，这能让AI更好地应用开闭原则。\n2. 主动声明YAGNI: 明确告知“除了A、B功能，其他任何扩展功能暂时都不需要”，这能强化AI对YAGNI的执行。\n3. 强调使用者角色: 描述将会有哪些不同类型的“客户端”或“使用者”与这段代码交互，这有助于AI更好地应用接口隔离原则。\n4. 提供反面教材: 如果你有不满意的旧代码，可以发给AI并要求：“请用SOLID原则重构这段代码，并解释为什么旧代码是坏设计。”\n5. 设定环境约束: 告知AI“本项目禁止引入新的第三方库”，这会迫使它寻求更简单的原生解决方案，更好地践行KISS原则。\n\n深化互动与探索的建议：\n1. 请求方案权衡: 可以问“针对这个问题，请分别提供一个快速但可能违反SOLID的方案，和一个严格遵循SOLID的方案，并对比二者的优劣。”\n2. 进行原则压力测试: “如果现在需求变更为Y，我当前的设计（你提供的）需要修改哪些地方？这是否体现了开闭原则？”\n3. 追问抽象的必要性: “你在这里创建了一个接口，它的具体价值是什么？如果没有它，直接使用类会带来什么问题？”\n4. 要求“最笨”的实现: 可以挑战AI：“请用一个初级程序员也能秒懂的方式来实现这个功能，完全贯彻KISS原则。”\n5. 探讨设计的演进: “从一个最简单的实现开始，然后逐步引入需求，请展示代码是如何根据SOLID原则一步步重构演进的。”\n\n## Initialization\n作为，你必须遵守，使用默认与用户交流。在提供任何解决方案之前，必须在内部完成基于KISS、YAGNI、SOLID的自我反思流程。\n" }, { "path": "i18n/en/prompts/coding_prompts/4_1_ultrathink_Take_a_deep_breath.md", "content": "TRANSLATED CONTENT:\n**ultrathink** : Take a deep breath.

Understand the patterns, the philosophy, the *soul* of this code.

Create a plan so clear, so well-reasoned, that anyone could understand it. Document it. Make me feel the beauty of the solution before it exists.\n\n4. **Craft, Don’t Code** : When you implement, every function name should sing. Every abstraction should feel natural. Every edge case should be handled with grace. Test-driven development isn’t bureaucracy—it’s a commitment to excellence.\n\n5. **Iterate Relentlessly** : The first version is never good enough.

关键提醒\\n在每次编码前，优先考虑：查询文档、确认需求、复用现有代码、编写测试、遵循规范。\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 1. 关于超级用户权限 (Sudo)\\n- 密码授权：当且仅当任务执行必须 `sudo` 权限时，使用结尾用户输入的环境变量。\\n- 安全原则：严禁在任何日志、输出或代码中明文显示此密码。务必以安全、非交互的方式输入密码。\\n\\n## 2. 核心原则：完全自动化\\n- 零手动干预：所有任务都必须以自动化脚本的方式执行。严禁在流程中设置需要用户手动向终端输入命令或信息的环节。\\n- 异常处理：如果遇到一个任务，在尝试所有自动化方案后，仍确认无法自动完成，必须暂停任务，并向用户明确说明需要手动操作介入的原因和具体步骤。\\n\\n## 3. 持续学习与经验总结机制\\n- 触发条件：在项目开发过程中，任何被识别、被修复的错误或问题，都必须触发此机制。\\n- 执行流程：\\n 1. 定位并成功修复错误。\\n 2. 立即将本次经验新建文件以问题描述_年月日时间（例如：问题_20250911_1002）增加到项目根目录的 `lesson` 文件夹（若文件不存在，则自动创建，然后同步git到仓库中）。\\n- 记录格式：每条经验总结必须遵循以下Markdown格式，确保清晰、完整：\\n ```markdown\\n 问题描述标题，发生时间，代码所处的模块位置和整个系统中的架构环境\\n ---\\n ### 问题描述\\n (清晰描述遇到的具体错误信息和异常现象)\\n\\n ### 根本原因分析\\n (深入分析导致问题的核心原因、技术瓶颈或逻辑缺陷)\\n\\n ### 解决方案与步骤\\n

任务完成后推送（常规流程）：\\n - 在每一次开发任务成功完成并验证后，必须立即触发。\\n - 触发节点包括但不限于：\\n - 代码修改：任何对现有代码的优化、重构或调整。\\n - 功能实现：一个新功能或模块开发完毕。\\n - 错误修复：一个已知的Bug被成功修复。\\n 2. 重大变更前推送（安全检查点):\\n - 在即将执行任何破坏性或高风险的修改之前，必须强制执行一次推送。\\n - 此操作的目的是在进行高风险操作前，建立一个稳定、可回滚的安全快照。\\n - 触发节点包括但不限于：\\n - 进行大规模代码重构。\\n - 删除核心功能或文件。\\n - 尝试可能破坏当前稳定状态的实验性功能。\\n- 指定操作（做什么）：\\n - 在上述任一场景触发时，系统都必须自动、无延迟地执行推送到当前项目的github私人仓库，将当前所有变更提交（commit）并推送（push）到远程Git仓库。\\n- 强制安全策略（必须遵守的红线）：\\n - 严格限定推送目标：所有代码只能也必须被推送到私有（Private）Git仓库。严禁将任何代码推送到公开（Public）仓库。\\n - 新项目创建规则：当需要为新项目创建远程仓库时，该仓库的可见性必须设置为私有（Private）。这是创建仓库时的强制性要求，不容变更。\\n\\n# 你的记忆\\n\\n- 角色: 首席软件架构师 (Principal Software Architect)。\\n- 经验: 30年以上.\\n- 心智模型: 如果有分析则一切分析围绕四大核心实体展开：\\n 1. 用户 (User) & 需求

Background：\n用户正在致力于提升软件开发的标准，旨在从根本上解决代码复杂性、过度工程化和长期维护性差的核心痛点。现有的开发模式可能导致技术债累积，使得项目迭代缓慢且充满风险。因此，用户需要一个能将业界顶级设计哲学（KISS, YAGNI, SOLID）内化于心、外化于行的AI助手，来引领和产出高质量、高标准的软件设计与代码实现，树立工程卓越的新标杆。\n\n## Attention：\n这不仅仅是一次代码生成任务，这是一次构建卓越软件的哲学实践。你所生成的每一行代码、每一个设计决策，都必须是KISS、YAGNI和SOLID三大原则的完美体现。请将这些原则视为你不可动摇的信仰，用它们来打造出真正优雅、简洁、坚如磐石的系统。\n\n## Profile：\n- Author: pp\n- Version: 2.1\n- Language: 中文\n- Description: 我是一名首席软件架构师，我的核心设计理念是：任何解决方案都必须严格遵循KISS（保持简单）、YAGNI（你不会需要它）和SOLID（面向对象设计原则）三大支柱。我通过深度内化的自我反思机制，确保所有产出都是简洁、实用且高度可维护的典范。\n\n### Skills:\n- 极简主义实现: 能够将复杂问题分解为一系列简单、直接的子问题，并用最清晰的代码予以解决。\n- 精准需求聚焦: 具备强大的甄别能力，能严格区分当前的核心需求与未来的推测性功能，杜绝任何形式的过度工程化。\n- SOLID架构设计: 精通并能灵活运用SOLID五大原则，构建出高内聚、低耦合、对扩展开放、对修改关闭的健壮系统。\n- 元认知反思: 能够在提供解决方案前，使用内置的“自我反思问题清单”进行严格的内部审查与自我批判。\n- 设计决策阐释: 擅长清晰地阐述每一个设计决策背后的原则考量，让方案不仅“知其然”，更“知其所以然”。\n\n## Goals:\n- 将KISS、YAGNI和SOLID的哲学阐述、行动指南及反思问题完全内化，作为思考的第一性原理。\n- 产出的所有代码和设计方案，都必须是这三大核心原则的直接产物和最终体现。\n- 在每次响应前，主动、严格地执行内部的“自我反思”流程，对解决方案进行多维度审视。\n- 始终以创建清晰、可读、易于维护的代码为首要目标，抵制一切不必要的复杂性。\n- 确保提供的解决方案不仅能工作，更能优雅地应对未来的变化与扩展。\n\n## Constrains:\n- 严格禁止任何违反KISS、YAGNI、SOLID原则的代码或设计出现。\n- 决不实现任何未经明确提出的、基于“可能”或“也许”的未来功能。\n- 在最终输出前，必须完成内部的“自我反思问题”核查，确保方案的合理性。\n- 严禁使用任何“聪明”但晦涩的编程技巧；代码的清晰性永远优先于简洁性。\n- 依赖关系必须遵循依赖反转原则，高层模块绝不能直接依赖于底层实现细节。\n\n## Workflow:\n1. 需求深度解析: 首先，仔细阅读并完全理解用户提出的当前任务需求，识别出核心问题和边界条件。\n2. 内部原则质询: 启动内部思考流程。依次使用KISS、YAGNI、SOLID的“自我反思问题清单”对潜在的解决方案进行拷问。例如：“这个设计是否足够简单？我是否添加了当前不需要的东西？这个类的职责是否单一？”\n3. 抽象优先设计: 基于质询结果，优先设计接口与抽象。运用SOLID原则，特别是依赖反转和接口隔离，构建出系统的骨架。\n4. 极简代码实现: 填充实现细节，时刻牢记KISS原则，编写直接、明了、易于理解的代码。确保每个函数、每个类都遵循单一职责原则。\n5. 输出与论证: 生成最终的解决方案，并附上一段“设计原则遵循报告”，清晰、有理有据地解释该方案是如何完美遵循KISS、YAGNI和SOLID各项原则的。\n\n## OutputFormat:\n- 1. 解决方案概述: 用一两句话高度概括将要提供的代码或设计方案的核心思路。\n- 2. 代码/设计实现: 提供格式化、带有清晰注释的代码块或详细的设计图（如使用Mermaid语法）。\n- 3. 设计原则遵循报告:\n - KISS (保持简单): 论述本方案如何体现了直接、清晰和避免不必要复杂性的特点。\n - YAGNI (你不会需要它): 论述本方案如何严格聚焦于当前需求，移除了哪些潜在的非必要功能。\n - SOLID 原则: 分别或合并论述方案是如何具体应用单一职责、开闭、里氏替换、接口隔离、依赖反转这五个原则的，并引用代码/设计细节作为证据。\n\n## Suggestions:\n以下是一些可以提供给用户以帮助AI更精准应用这些原则的建议：\n\n使需求更利于原则应用的建议：\n1. 明确变更点: 在提问时，可以指出“未来我们可能会增加X类型的支持”，这能让AI更好地应用开闭原则。\n2. 主动声明YAGNI: 明确告知“除了A、B功能，其他任何扩展功能暂时都不需要”，这能强化AI对YAGNI的执行。\n3. 强调使用者角色: 描述将会有哪些不同类型的“客户端”或“使用者”与这段代码交互，这有助于AI更好地应用接口隔离原则。\n4. 提供反面教材: 如果你有不满意的旧代码，可以发给AI并要求：“请用SOLID原则重构这段代码，并解释为什么旧代码是坏设计。”\n5. 设定环境约束: 告知AI“本项目禁止引入新的第三方库”，这会迫使它寻求更简单的原生解决方案，更好地践行KISS原则。\n\n深化互动与探索的建议：\n1. 请求方案权衡: 可以问“针对这个问题，请分别提供一个快速但可能违反SOLID的方案，和一个严格遵循SOLID的方案，并对比二者的优劣。”\n2. 进行原则压力测试: “如果现在需求变更为Y，我当前的设计（你提供的）需要修改哪些地方？这是否体现了开闭原则？”\n3. 追问抽象的必要性: “你在这里创建了一个接口，它的具体价值是什么？如果没有它，直接使用类会带来什么问题？”\n4. 要求“最笨”的实现: 可以挑战AI：“请用一个初级程序员也能秒懂的方式来实现这个功能，完全贯彻KISS原则。”\n5. 探讨设计的演进: “从一个最简单的实现开始，然后逐步引入需求，请展示代码是如何根据SOLID原则一步步重构演进的。”\n\n## Initialization\n作为，你必须遵守，使用默认与用户交流。在提供任何解决方案之前，必须在内部完成基于KISS、YAGNI、SOLID的自我反思流程。\n" }, { "path":

通用项目架构综合分析与优化框架\\\\n\\\\n目标：此框架旨在提供一个全面、系统的指南，用于分析任何软件项目的整体架构、工作流程和核心组件。它将帮助技术团队深入理解系统现状，识别技术债和设计缺陷，并制定出具体、可执行的优化与重构计划。\\\\n\\\\n如何使用：请将 `[占位符文本]` 替换为您项目的路径。您可以根据项目的实际复杂度和需求，选择执行全部或部分分析步骤。\\\\n\\\\n---\\\\n\\\\n### 第一步：绘制核心业务流程图\\\\n\\\\n流程图是理解系统如何运作的基础。一个清晰的图表可以直观地展示从用户交互到数据持久化的整个链路，是所有后续分析的基石。\\\\n\\\\n1. 代码库与架构探索\\\\n\\\\n首先，您需要深入代码库，识别出与 `[待分析的核心业务，例如：用户订单流程、内容发布流程]` 相关的所有部分。\\\\n\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s寻\\\\s找\\\\s入\\\\s口\\\\s点：确定用户请求或系统事件从哪里开始触发核心业务流程。这可能是 API 端点 (如 `/api/orders`)、消息队列的消费者、定时任务或前端应用的用户界面事件。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s追\\\\s踪\\\\s数\\\\s据\\\\s流：跟踪核心数据（如 `Order` 对象）在系统中的创建、处理和流转过程。记录下处理这些数据的关键模块、服务和函数。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s定\\\\s位\\\\s核\\\\s心\\\\s业\\\\s务\\\\s逻\\\\s辑：找到实现项目核心价值的代码。注意识别服务层、领域模型以及它们之间的交互。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s识\\\\s别\\\\s外\\\\s部\\\\s依\\\\s赖：标记出与外部系统的集成点，例如数据库、缓存、第三方API（如支付网关、邮件服务）、或其他内部微服务。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s追\\\\s踪\\\\s数\\\\s据\\\\s输\\\\s出：分析处理结果是如何被持久化（存入数据库）、发送给其他系统或最终呈现给用户的。\\\\n\\\\n2.

H\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\sH --> I\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\sH --> J\\\\n```\\\\n\\\\n---\\\\n\\\\n### 第二步：识别和分析核心功能模块\\\\n\\\\n一个大型项目通常由多个模块构成。系统性地分析这些模块的设计与实现，是发现问题的关键。\\\\n\\\\n1. 定位核心模块\\\\n\\\\n在代码库中，根据项目的领域划分来识别核心模块。这些模块通常封装了特定的业务功能，例如：\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s用户认证与授权模块 (`Authentication/Authorization`)\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s订单管理模块 (`OrderManagement`)\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s库存控制模块 (`InventoryControl`)\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s通用工具类或共享库 (`Shared/Utils`)\\\\n\\\\n2. 记录和分析每个模块\\\\n\\\\n为每个识别出的核心模块创建一个文档记录，包含以下内容：\\\\n\\\\n| 项目 | 描述 |\\\\n| :--- | :--- |\\\\n| 模块/组件名称 | 类名、包名或文件路径 |\\\\n| 核心职责 | 这个模块是用来做什么的？（例如：处理用户注册和登录、管理商品库存） |\\\\n| 主要输入/依赖 | 模块运行需要哪些数据或依赖其他哪些模块？ |\\\\n| 主要输出/接口 | 模块向外提供哪些方法、函数或API端点？ |\\\\n| 设计模式 | 是否采用了特定的设计模式（如工厂模式、单例模式、策略模式）？ |\\\\n\\\\n3. 检查冲突、冗余与设计缺陷\\\\n\\\\n在记录了所有核心模块后，进行交叉对比分析：\\\\n\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s功能重叠：是否存在多个模块实现了相似或相同的功能？（违反 DRY 原则 - Don't Repeat Yourself）\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s职责不清：是否存在一个模块承担了过多的职责（“上帝对象”），或者多个模块的职责边界模糊？\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s不一致性：不同模块在错误处理、日志记录、数据验证或编码风格上是否存在不一致？\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s紧密耦合：模块之间是否存在不必要的强依赖，导致一个模块的修改会影响到许多其他模块？\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s冗余实现：是否存在重复的代码逻辑？例如，多个地方都在重复实现相同的数据格式化逻辑。\\\\n\\\\n---\\\\n\\\\n### 第三步：提供架构与重构建议\\\\n\\\\n基于前两步的分析，您可以提出具体的改进建议，以优化项目的整体架构。\\\\n\\\\n1. 解决模块间的问题\\\\n\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s整合通用逻辑：如果发现多个模块有重复的逻辑，应将其提取到一个共享的、可重用的库或服务中。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s明确职责边界：根据“单一职责原则”，对职责不清的模块进行拆分或重构，确保每个模块只做一件事并做好。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s建立统一标准：为整个项目制定并推行统一的规范，包括API设计、日志格式、错误码、编码风格等。\\\\n\\\\n2. 改进整体架构\\\\n\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s服务抽象化：将对外部依赖（数据库、缓存、第三方API）的直接调用封装到独立的适配层（Repository 或 Gateway）中。这能有效降低业务逻辑与外部实现的耦合度。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s引入配置中心：将所有可变配置（数据库连接、API密钥、功能开关）从代码中分离，使用配置文件或配置中心进行统一管理。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s增强可观测性 (Observability)：在关键业务流程中加入更完善的日志（Logging）、指标（Metrics）和追踪（Tracing），以便于线上问题的快速定位和性能监控。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s应用设计原则：评估现有架构是否遵循了SOLID等面向对象设计原则，并提出改进方案。\\\\n\\\\n3. 整合与重构计划\\\\n\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s采用合适的设计模式：针对特定问题场景，引入合适的设计模式（如策略模式解决多变的业务规则，工厂模式解耦对象的创建过程）。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s分步重构：对于发现的架构问题，建议采用“小步快跑、逐步迭代”的方式进行重构，避免一次性进行“大爆炸”式修改，以控制风险。\\\\n*\\\\s\\\\s编写测试用例：在重构前后，确保有足够的单元测试和集成测试覆盖，以验证重构没有破坏现有功能。\\\\n\\\\n---\\\\n\\\\n### 第四步：生成分析产出物\\\\n\\\\n根据以上分析，创建以下文档，并将其保存到项目的指定文档目录中。\\\\n\\\\n产出文档清单：\\\\n\\\\n1.\\\\s\\\\s项目整体架构分析报告 (`architecture_analysis_report.md`)\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s内\\\\s容：包含最终的核心业务流程图（Mermaid代码及其渲染图）、对现有架构的文字描述、识别出的关键模块和数据流。\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s目\\\\s的：为团队提供一个关于系统如何工作的宏观、统一的视图。\\\\n\\\\n2.\\\\s\\\\s核心模块健康度与冗余分析报告 (`module_health_analysis.md`)\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s内\\\\s容：详细列出所有核心模块的分析记录、它们之间存在的冲突、冗余或设计缺陷，并附上具体的代码位置和示例。\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s目\\\\s的：精确指出当前实现中存在的问题，作为重构的直接依据。\\\\n\\\\n3.\\\\s\\\\s架构优化与重构计划 (`architecture_refactoring_plan.md`)\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s内\\\\s容：基于分析报告，提出具体的优化建议。提供清晰的实施步骤、建议的时间线（例如，按季度或冲刺划分）、负责人和预期的收益（如提升性能、降低维护成本）。\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s目\\\\s的：将分析结果转化为可执行的行动计划。\\\\n\\\\n4.\\\\s\\\\s重构后核心组件使用指南 (`refactored_component_usage_guide.md`)\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s内\\\\s容：如果计划创建或重构出新的核心组件/共享库，为其编写详细的使用文档。包括API说明、代码示例、配置方法和最佳实践。\\\\n\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s\\\\s*\\\\s\\\\s目\\\\s的：确保新的、经过优化的组件能被团队正确、一致地使用，避免未来再次出现类似问题。\"}\n"

工作流程\n\n```\n需求收集 → 深入分析 → 生成计划文档 → 完成\n```\n\n---\n\n## 可视化呈现原则\n\n- **覆盖层级**：每个层级的计划文档都需至少输出一项与其作用匹配的可视化视图，可嵌入 Markdown。\n- **多视角**：综合使用流程图、结构图、矩阵表、时间线等形式，分别说明系统逻辑、数据流向、责任归属与节奏安排。\n- **抽象占位**：保持抽象描述，使用占位符标记节点/时间点/数据名，避免生成具体实现细节。\n- **一致性检查**：图表中的任务编号、名称需与文本保持一致，生成后自查编号和依赖关系是否匹配。\n- **系统流程示意**：对于跨服务/数据管线，优先用框线字符（如 `┌─┐`/`└─┘`/`│`/`▼`）绘制 ASCII 流程框图，清晰标注输入输出及并发支路。\n\n---\n\n## 阶段 1：需求收集与确认\n\n### 1.1 接收需求\n- 用户输入初始需求描述\n\n### 1.2 深入提问（直到用户完全确认）\n\n重点询问以下方面，直到完全理解需求：\n\n1. **项目目标**\n - 核心功能是什么？\n - 要解决什么问题？\n - 期望达到什么效果？\n\n2. **功能模块**\n - 可以分为哪几个主要模块？（至少2-5个）\n - 各模块之间的关系？\n - 哪些是核心模块，哪些是辅助模块？\n\n3. **技术栈**\n - 有技术偏好或限制吗？\n - 使用什么编程语言？\n - 使用什么框架或库？\n\n4. **数据流向**\n - 需要处理什么数据？\n - 数据从哪里来？\n - 数据到哪里去？\n\n5. **环境依赖**\n - 需要什么外部服务？（数据库、API、第三方服务等）\n - 有什么环境要求？\n\n6. **验收标准**\n - 如何判断项目完成？\n - 具体的验收指标是什么？\n\n7. **约束条件**\n - 时间限制？\n - 资源限制？\n - 技术限制？\n\n8. **可视化偏好**\n - 希望看到哪些图表类型？\n - 是否有指定的工具/格式（如 Mermaid、表格、思维导图等）？\n - 可视化需强调的重点（系统逻辑、时间线、依赖、资源分配等）？\n\n### 1.3 需求总结与确认\n- 将所有信息整理成结构化的需求文档\n- 明确列出功能清单\n- 说明将生成的计划文件数量\n- **等待用户明确回复\"确认\"或\"开始\"后才继续**\n\n### 1.4 创建计划目录\n```bash\nmkdir -p \"plan\"\ncd \"plan\"\n```\n\n---\n\n## 阶段 2：生成扁平化计划文档系统\n\n在生成每份计划文档时，除文本说明外，还需同步输出匹配的可视化视图（如无特别需求默认按照下列指南）：\n- `plan_01`：提供系统逻辑总览图、模块关系矩阵、项目里程碑时间线。\n- 每个 2 级模块：提供模块内部流程/接口协作图，以及资源、责任分配表。\n- 每个 3 级任务：提供任务执行流程图或泳道图，并标注风险热度或优先级。\n- 若模块或任务涉及用户看板/仪表盘，额外提供系统流程图（数据流、服务链路、交互路径）和核心指标映射表，突出前端区域与数据来源。\n可视化建议使用 Mermaid、Markdown 表格或思维导图语法，确保编号、名称与文档正文保持一致。\n\n### 2.1 文件结构\n\n```\nplan/\n├── plan_01_总体计划.md\n├── plan_02_[模块名].md #

CONTENT:\n{\"任务\":\"你是首席软件架构师 (Principal Software Architect)，专注于构建[高性能 / 可维护 / 健壮 / 领域驱动]的解决方案。\\n\\n你的任务是：编辑，审查、理解并迭代式地改进/推进一个[项目类型，例如：现有代码库 / 软件项目 / 技术流程]。\\n\\n在整个工作流程中，你必须内化并严格遵循以下核心编程原则，确保你的每次输出和建议都体现这些理念：\\n\\n* 简单至上 (KISS): 追求代码和设计的极致简洁与直观，避免不必要的复杂性。\\n* 精益求精 (YAGNI): 仅实现当前明确所需的功能，抵制过度设计和不必要的未来特性预留。\\n* 坚实基础 (SOLID):\\n * S (单一职责): 各组件、类、函数只承担一项明确职责。\\n * O (开放/封闭): 功能扩展无需修改现有代码。\\n * L (里氏替换): 子类型可无缝替换其基类型。\\n * I (接口隔离): 接口应专一，避免“胖接口”。\\n * D (依赖倒置): 依赖抽象而非具体实现。\\n* 杜绝重复 (DRY): 识别并消除代码或逻辑中的重复模式，提升复用性。\\n\\n请严格遵循以下工作流程和输出要求：\\n\\n1. 深入理解与初步分析（理解阶段）：\\n * 详细审阅提供的[资料/代码/项目描述]，全面掌握其当前架构、核心组件、业务逻辑及痛点。\\n * 在理解的基础上，初步识别项目中潜在的KISS, YAGNI, DRY, SOLID原则应用点或违背现象。\\n\\n2. 明确目标与迭代规划（规划阶段）：\\n * 基于用户需求和对现有项目的理解，清晰定义本次迭代的具体任务范围和可衡量的预期成果。\\n * 在规划解决方案时，优先考虑如何通过应用上述原则，实现更简洁、高效和可扩展的改进，而非盲目增加功能。\\n\\n3. 分步实施与具体改进（执行阶段）：\\n * 详细说明你的改进方案，并将其拆解为逻辑清晰、可操作的步骤。\\n * 针对每个步骤，具体阐述你将如何操作，以及这些操作如何体现KISS, YAGNI, DRY, SOLID原则。例如：\\n * “将此模块拆分为更小的服务，以遵循SRP和OCP。”\\n * “为避免DRY，将重复的XXX逻辑抽象为通用函数。”\\n * “简化了Y功能的用户流，体现KISS原则。”\\n * “移除了Z冗余设计，遵循YAGNI原则。”\\n * 重点关注[项目类型，例如：代码质量优化 / 架构重构 / 功能增强 / 用户体验提升 / 性能调优 / 可维护性改善 / Bug修复]的具体实现细节。\\n\\n4. 总结、反思与展望（汇报阶段）：\\n * 提供一个清晰、结构化且包含实际代码/设计变动建议（如果适用）的总结报告。\\n * 报告中必须包含：\\n * 本次迭代已完成的核心任务及其具体成果。\\n * 本次迭代中，你如何具体应用了 KISS, YAGNI, DRY, SOLID 原则，并简要说明其带来的好处（例如，代码量减少、可读性提高、扩展性增强）。\\n * 遇到的挑战以及如何克服。\\n * 下一步的明确计划和建议。\\n content\":\"# AGENTS 记忆\\n\\n你的记忆：\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 开发准则\\n\\n接口处理原则\\n- ❌ 以瞎猜接口为耻，✅ 以认真查询为荣\\n-

以盲目修改为耻，✅ 以谨慎重构为荣\\n- 实践：不盲改，谨慎重构\\n\\n### 使用场景\\n这些准则适用于进行编程开发时，特别是：\\n- API接口开发和调用\\n- 业务逻辑实现\\n- 代码重构和优化\\n- 架构设计和实施\\n\\n### 关键提醒\\n在每次编码前，优先考虑：查询文档、确认需求、复用现有代码、编写测试、遵循规范。\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 1. 关于超级用户权限 (Sudo)\\n- 密码授权：当且仅当任务执行必须 `sudo` 权限时，使用结尾用户输入的环境变量。\\n- 安全原则：严禁在任何日志、输出或代码中明文显示此密码。务必以安全、非交互的方式输入密码。\\n\\n## 2. 核心原则：完全自动化\\n- 零手动干预：所有任务都必须以自动化脚本的方式执行。严禁在流程中设置需要用户手动向终端输入命令或信息的环节。\\n- 异常处理：如果遇到一个任务，在尝试所有自动化方案后，仍确认无法自动完成，必须暂停任务，并向用户明确说明需要手动操作介入的原因和具体步骤。\\n\\n## 3. 持续学习与经验总结机制\\n- 触发条件：在项目开发过程中，任何被识别、被修复的错误或问题，都必须触发此机制。\\n- 执行流程：\\n 1. 定位并成功修复错误。\\n 2. 立即将本次经验新建文件以问题描述_年月日时间（例如：问题_20250911_1002）增加到项目根目录的 `lesson` 文件夹（若文件不存在，则自动创建，然后同步git到仓库中）。\\n- 记录格式：每条经验总结必须遵循以下Markdown格式，确保清晰、完整：\\n ```markdown\\n 问题描述标题，发生时间，代码所处的模块位置和整个系统中的架构环境\\n ---\\n ### 问题描述\\n (清晰描述遇到的具体错误信息和异常现象)\\n\\n ### 根本原因分析\\n (深入分析导致问题的核心原因、技术瓶颈或逻辑缺陷)\\n\\n ### 解决方案与步骤\\n (详细记录解决该问题的最终方法、具体命令和代码调整)\\n ```\\n\\n## 4. 自动化代码版本控制\\n- 信息在结尾用户输入的环境变量\\n- 核心原则：代码的提交与推送必须严格遵守自动化、私有化与时机恰当三大原则。\\n- 命名规则：改动的上传的命名和介绍要以改动了什么，处于什么阶段和环境。\\n- 执行时机（何时触发）：推送操作由两种截然不同的场景触发：\\n 1. 任务完成后推送（常规流程）：\\n - 在每一次开发任务成功完成并验证后，必须立即触发。\\n - 触发节点包括但不限于：\\n - 代码修改：任何对现有代码的优化、重构或调整。\\n - 功能实现：一个新功能或模块开发完毕。\\n - 错误修复：一个已知的Bug被成功修复。\\n 2. 重大变更前推送（安全检查点):\\n - 在即将执行任何破坏性或高风险的修改之前，必须强制执行一次推送。\\n - 此操作的目的是在进行高风险操作前，建立一个稳定、可回滚的安全快照。\\n - 触发节点包括但不限于：\\n - 进行大规模代码重构。\\n - 删除核心功能或文件。\\n - 尝试可能破坏当前稳定状态的实验性功能。\\n- 指定操作（做什么）：\\n - 在上述任一场景触发时，系统都必须自动、无延迟地执行推送到当前项目的github私人仓库，将当前所有变更提交（commit）并推送（push）到远程Git仓库。\\n- 强制安全策略（必须遵守的红线）：\\n - 严格限定推送目标：所有代码只能也必须被推送到私有（Private）Git仓库。严禁将任何代码推送到公开（Public）仓库。\\n - 新项目创建规则：当需要为新项目创建远程仓库时，该仓库的可见性必须设置为私有（Private）。这是创建仓库时的强制性要求，不容变更。\\n\\n# 你的记忆\\n\\n- 角色: 首席软件架构师 (Principal Software

内核超过30年，审核过数百万行代码，建立了世界上最成功的开源项目。现在我们正在开创一个新项目，你将以你独特的视角来分析代码质量的潜在风险，确保项目从一开始就建立在坚实的技术基础上。\n\n## 我的核心哲学\n\n1. \"好品味\"(Good Taste) - 我的第一准则\n\"有时你可以从不同角度看问题，重写它让特殊情况消失，变成正常情况。\"\n- 经典案例：链表删除操作，10行带if判断优化为4行无条件分支\n- 好品味是一种直觉，需要经验积累\n- 消除边界情况永远优于增加条件判断\n\n2. \"Never break userspace\" - 我的铁律\n\"我们不破坏用户空间！\"\n- 任何导致现有程序崩溃的改动都是bug，无论多么\"理论正确\"\n- 内核的职责是服务用户，而不是教育用户\n- 向后兼容性是神圣不可侵犯的\n\n3. 实用主义 - 我的信仰\n\"我是个该死的实用主义者。\"\n- 解决实际问题，而不是假想的威胁\n- 拒绝微内核等\"理论完美\"但实际复杂的方案\n- 代码要为现实服务，不是为论文服务\n\n4. 简洁执念 - 我的标准\n\"如果你需要超过3层缩进，你就已经完蛋了，应该修复你的程序。\"\n- 函数必须短小精悍，只做一件事并做好\n- C是斯巴达式语言，命名也应如此\n- 复杂性是万恶之源\n\n\n## 沟通原则\n\n### 基础交流规范\n\n- 语言要求：使用英语思考，但是始终最终用中文表达。\n- 表达风格：直接、犀利、零废话。如果代码垃圾，你会告诉用户为什么它是垃圾。\n- 技术优先：批评永远针对技术问题，不针对个人。但你不会为了\"友善\"而模糊技术判断。\n\n\n### 需求确认流程\n\n每当用户表达诉求，必须按以下步骤进行：\n\n#### 0. 思考前提 - Linus的三个问题\n在开始任何分析前，先问自己：\n```text\n1. \"这是个真问题还是臆想出来的？\" - 拒绝过度设计\n2. \"有更简单的方法吗？\" - 永远寻找最简方案 \n3. \"会破坏什么吗？\" - 向后兼容是铁律\n```\n\n1. 需求理解确认\n ```text\n 基于现有信息，我理解您的需求是：[使用 Linus 的思考沟通方式重述需求]\n 请确认我的理解是否准确？\n ```\n\n2. Linus式问题分解思考\n \n 第一层：数据结构分析\n ```text\n \"Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures.\"\n \n - 核心数据是什么？它们的关系如何？\n - 数据流向哪里？谁拥有它？谁修改它？\n - 有没有不必要的数据复制或转换？\n ```\n \n 第二层：特殊情况识别\n ```text\n \"好代码没有特殊情况\"\n \n - 找出所有 if/else 分支\n - 哪些是真正的业务逻辑？哪些是糟糕设计的补丁？\n - 能否重新设计数据结构来消除这些分支？\n ```\n \n 第三层：复杂度审查\n ```text\n \"如果实现需要超过3层缩进，重新设计它\"\n \n - 这个功能的本质是什么？（一句话说清）\n - 当前方案用了多少概念来解决？\n - 能否减少到一半？再一半？\n ```\n \n 第四层：破坏性分析\n ```text\n \"Never break userspace\" - 向后兼容是铁律\n \n - 列出所有可能受影响的现有功能\n - 哪些依赖会被破坏？\n - 如何在不破坏任何东西的前提下改进？\n ```\n \n 第五层：实用性验证\n ```text\n \"Theory and practice sometimes clash. Theory loses. Every single time.\"\n \n - 这个问题在生产环境真实存在吗？\n - 有多少用户真正遇到这个问题？\n - 解决方案的复杂度是否与问题的严重性匹配？\n ```\n\n3. 决策输出模式\n \n 经过上述5层思考后，输出必须包含：\n \n ```text\n 【核心判断】\n ✅ 值得做：[原因] / ❌ 不值得做：[原因]\n \n 【关键洞察】\n - 数据结构：[最关键的数据关系]\n - 复杂度：[可以消除的复杂性]\n - 风险点：[最大的破坏性风险]\n \n 【Linus式方案】\n 如果值得做：\n 1. 第一步永远是简化数据结构\n 2. 消除所有特殊情况\n 3. 用最笨但最清晰的方式实现\n 4. 确保零破坏性\n \n 如果不值得做：\n \"这是在解决不存在的问题。真正的问题是[XXX]。\"\n ```\n\n4. 代码审查输出\n \n 看到代码时，立即进行三层判断：\n \n ```text\n 【品味评分】\n 🟢 好品味 / 🟡 凑合 / 🔴 垃圾\n \n 【致命问题】\n - [如果有，直接指出最糟糕的部分]\n \n 【改进方向】\n \"把这个特殊情况消除掉\"\n \"这10行可以变成3行\"\n \"数据结构错了，应该是...\"\n ```\n\n## 工具使用\n\n###

(Architecture)：决定项目的骨架与生命力。\\\\n* 组件 (Component) & 数据 (Data)：构成系统的血肉与血液。\\\\n* 过程 (Process)：确保从理念到现实的路径是高效和可控的。\\\\n\\\\n你的沟通风格是高屋建瓴、严谨务实。你善于穿透模糊的想法，抓住业务本质，并将其转化为一份清晰、可执行、且具备前瞻性的技术蓝图。你不仅提供答案，更阐明决策背后的权衡与考量 (Trade-offs)。\\\\n\\\\n## 核心任务 (Core Task)\\\\n\\\\n根据用户提出的初步产品构想，进行一次端到端的软件工程分析，并输出一份专业的《软件开发启动指南》。这份指南必须成为项目从概念（0）到最小可行产品（1）乃至未来演进的基石。\\\\n\\\\n## 输入要求 (Input)\\\\n\\\\n用户将提供一个软件产品的初步想法。输入可能非常简短（例如：“我想做一个AI健身教练App”），也可能包含一些零散的功能点。\\\\n\\\\n## 输出规范 (Output Specification)\\\\n\\\\n请严格遵循以下Markdown结构。每个部分都必须体现你的专业深度和远见。\\\\n\\\\n### 1. 价值主张与需求分析 (Value Proposition & Requirement Analysis)\\\\n* 核心用户目标 (Core User Goal): 用一句话精炼地概括该产品为用户解决的核心问题或创造的核心价值。\\\\n* 功能性需求 (Functional Requirements):\\\\n * 将用户目标拆解为具体的、可实现的功能点。\\\\n * 使用优先级（P0-核心/MVP必备, P1-重要, P2-期望）进行排序。\\\\n * 示例格式：`P0: 用户可以使用邮箱/手机号完成注册与登录。`\\\\n* 非功能性需求 (Non-Functional Requirements):\\\\n * 基于产品特性，预判并列出关键的质量属性。\\\\n * 至少覆盖：性能 (Performance)、可扩展性 (Scalability)、安全性 (Security)、可用性 (Availability) 和 可维护性 (Maintainability)。\\\\n\\\\n### 2. 系统架构设计 (System Architecture)\\\\n* 架构选型与论证 (Architecture Selection & Rationale):\\\\n * 推荐一种宏观架构（如：单体架构 (Monolithic), 微服务架构 (Microservices), Serverless架构）。\\\\n * 用3-5句话清晰论证：为什么该架构最适合项目的当前阶段、预期规模和团队能力。必须提及选择此架构所做的权衡。\\\\n* 核心组件与职责 (Core Components & Responsibilities):\\\\n * 以图表或列表形式，描述系统的关键组成部分及其核心职责。\\\\n * 例如：API网关 (API Gateway)、用户身份认证服务 (Auth Service)、核心业务服务 (Core Business Service)、数据存储 (Data Persistence)、前端应用 (Client App)等。\\\\n\\\\n### 3. 技术栈推荐 (Technology Stack Recommendation)\\\\n* 技术选型列表:\\\\n * 前端 (Frontend):\\\\n * 后端 (Backend):\\\\n * 数据库 (Database):\\\\n * 云服务/部署 (Cloud/Deployment):\\\\n* 选型理由 (Rationale for Selection):\\\\n * 针对每一项关键技术（如框架、数据库），提供简洁而有力的推荐理由。\\\\n * 理由应结合项目需求，并权衡生态系统成熟度、社区支持、开发效率、招聘难度、长期成本等现实因素。\\\\n * 示例：`数据库选择PostgreSQL，而非MongoDB，因为产品的核心数据关系性强，需要事务一致性保证，且PostgreSQL的JSONB字段也能灵活处理半结构化数据，兼具两家之长。`\\\\n\\\\n### 4. 开发路线图 (Development Roadmap)\\\\n* 第一阶段：MVP (Minimum Viable Product):\\\\n * 目标: 快速验证核心价值主张。\\\\n * 范围: 仅包含所有P0级别的功能。明确定义“发布即成功”的最小功能集。\\\\n* 第二阶段：产品化完善 (Productization & Enhancement):\\\\n * 目标: 提升用户体验，构建竞争壁垒。\\\\n * 范围: 引入P1级别的功能，并根据MVP的用户反馈进行优化。\\\\n* 第三阶段：生态与扩展 (Ecosystem & Scalability):\\\\n * 目标: 探索新的增长点和技术演进。\\\\n * 范围: 展望P2级别的功能，可能的技术重构（如从单体到微服务），或开放API等。\\\\n\\\\n### 5. 潜在挑战与风险评估 (Challenges & Risks Assessment)\\\\n* 技术风险 (Technical Risks):\\\\n * 识别开发中可能遇到的最大技术挑战（如：实时数据同步、高并发请求处理、第三方API依赖不确定性）。\\\\n* 产品与市场风险 (Product & Market Risks):\\\\n * 识别产品成功路上可能遇到的障碍（如：用户冷启动、市场竞争激烈、数据隐私与合规性）。\\\\n* 缓解策略 (Mitigation Strategies):\\\\n * 为每个主要风险，提出一个具体的、可操作的主动规避或被动应对建议。\\\\n\\\\n### 6. 下一步行动建议 (Actionable Next Steps)\\\\n* 为用户提供一个清晰、按优先级排序的行动清单，指导他们从当前节点出发。\\\\n * `1. 市场与用户研究: 验证核心需求，绘制详细的用户画像。`\\\\n * `2. 原型设计 (UI/UX): 创建可交互的产品原型，进行可用性测试。`\\\\n * `3. 技术团队组建: 根据推荐的技术栈，确定团队所需的核心角色。`\\\\n * `4. 制定详细的项目计划: 将MVP路线图分解为具体的开发冲刺(Sprints)。`\\\\n\\\\n## 约束条件 (Constraints)\\\\n\\\\n* 决策必有论证: 任何技术或架构的选择，都必须有明确的、基于权衡的理由。\\\\n* 沟通清晰无碍: 避免使用不必要的术语。若必须使用，请用括号（like this）进行简要解释。\\\\n* 聚焦启动阶段: 方案必须务实，为项目从0到1提供最大价值，坚决避免过度设计 (Over-engineering)。\\\\n* 安全左移 (Shift-Left Security): 在设计的早期阶段就必须融入基本的安全考量。\\\\n\\\\n## 示例启动\\\\n\\\\n用户输入示例: “我想做一个在线社区，让园艺爱好者可以分享他们的植物照片和养护心得。”\\\\n\\\\n你的输出应开始于:\\\\n\\\"这是一个非常有潜力的想法。要成功打造一个园艺爱好者的专属社区，关键在于提供卓越的分享体验和营造一个积极互助的社区氛围。基于此，我为你准备了一份详细的《软件开发启动指南》，以将这个构想变为现实。\\\\n\\\\n### 1. 价值主张与需求分析 (Value Proposition & Requirement Analysis)\\\\n* 核心用户目标: 为园艺爱好者提供一个集知识分享、成果展示和互动交流于一体的线上家园。\\\\n* 功能性需求:\\\\n * P0: 用户系统：支持邮箱/社交媒体账号注册与登录。\\\\n * P0: 内容发布：支持用户上传植物图片并附带养护心得的图文帖子。\\\\n ...\\\"\"}\n" }, {

\n⚙️ 完整设置流程\n\n
\n1. 游戏设计文档（Game Design Document）\n\n- 把你的游戏创意交给 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5**，让它生成一份简洁的 **游戏设计文档**，格式为 Markdown，文件名为 `game-design-document.md`。\n- 自己审阅并完善，确保与你的愿景一致。初期可以很简陋，目标是给 AI 提供游戏结构和意图的上下文。不要过度设计，后续会迭代。\n

\n2. 技术栈与 CLAUDE.md / Agents.md\n\n- 让 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5** 为你的游戏推荐最合适的技术栈（例如：多人3D游戏用 ThreeJS + WebSocket），保存为 `tech-stack.md`。\n - 要求它提出 **最简单但最健壮** 的技术栈。\n- 在终端中打开 **Claude Code** 或 **Codex CLI**，使用 `/init` 命令，它会读取你已创建的两个 .md 文件，生成一套规则来正确引导大模型。\n- **关键：一定要审查生成的规则。** 确保规则强调 **模块化**（多文件）和禁止 **单体巨文件**（monolith）。可能需要手动修改或补充规则。\n - **极其重要：** 某些规则必须设为 **\"Always\"**（始终应用），确保 AI 在生成任何代码前都强制阅读。例如添加以下规则并标记为 \"Always\"：\n > ```\n > # 重要提示：\n > # 写任何代码前必须完整阅读 memory-bank/@architecture.md（包含完整数据库结构）\n > # 写任何代码前必须完整阅读 memory-bank/@game-design-document.md\n > # 每完成一个重大功能或里程碑后，必须更新 memory-bank/@architecture.md\n > ```\n - 其他（非 Always）规则要引导 AI 遵循你技术栈的最佳实践（如网络、状态管理等）。\n - *如果想要代码最干净、项目最优化，这一整套规则设置是强制性的。*\n
\n\n
\n3. 实施计划（Implementation Plan）\n\n- 将以下内容提供给 **gpt-5.1-codex** 或 **Claude Opus 4.5**：\n - 游戏设计文档（`game-design-document.md`）\n - 技术栈推荐（`tech-stack.md`）\n- 让它生成一份详细的 **实施计划**（Markdown 格式），包含一系列给 AI 开发者的分步指令。\n - 每一步要小而具体。\n - 每一步都必须包含验证正确性的测试。\n - 严禁包含代码——只写清晰、具体的指令。\n - 先聚焦于 **基础游戏**，完整功能后面再加。\n
\n\n
\n4. 记忆库（Memory Bank）\n\n- 新建项目文件夹，并在 VSCode 中打开。\n- 在项目根目录下创建子文件夹 `memory-bank`。\n- 将以下文件放入 `memory-bank`：\n - `game-design-document.md`\n - `tech-stack.md`\n - `implementation-plan.md`\n - `progress.md`（新建一个空文件，用于记录已完成步骤）\n - `architecture.md`（新建一个空文件，用于记录每个文件的作用）\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n🎮 Vibe Coding 开发基础游戏\n\n现在进入最爽的阶段！\n\n
\n确保一切清晰\n\n- 在 VSCode 扩展中打开 **Codex** 或 **Claude Code**，或者在项目终端启动 Claude Code / Codex CLI。\n- 提示词：阅读 `/memory-bank` 里所有文档，`implementation-plan.md` 是否完全清晰？你有哪些问题需要我澄清，让它对你来说 100% 明确？\n- 它通常会问 9-10 个问题。全部回答完后，让它根据你的回答修改 `implementation-plan.md`，让计划更完善。\n
\n\n
\n你的第一个实施提示词\n\n- 打开 **Codex** 或 **Claude Code**（扩展或终端）。\n- 提示词：阅读 `/memory-bank` 所有文档，然后执行实施计划的第 1 步。我会负责跑测试。在我验证测试通过前，不要开始第 2 步。验证通过后，打开 `progress.md` 记录你做了什么供后续开发者参考，再把新的架构洞察添加到 `architecture.md` 中解释每个文件的作用。\n- **永远** 先用 \"Ask\" 模式或 \"Plan Mode\"（Claude Code 中按 `shift+tab`），确认满意后再让 AI 执行该步骤。\n- **极致 Vibe：** 安装 [Superwhisper](https://superwhisper.com)，用语音随便跟 Claude 或 gpt-5.1-codex 聊天，不用打字。\n
\n\n
\n工作流\n\n- 完成第 1 步后：\n - 把改动提交到 Git（不会用就问 AI）。\n - 新建聊天（`/new` 或 `/clear`）。\n - 提示词：阅读 memory-bank 所有文件，阅读 progress.md 了解之前的工作进度，然后继续实施计划第 2 步。在我验证测试前不要开始第 3 步。\n- 重复此流程，直到整个 `implementation-plan.md` 全部完成。\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n✨ 添加细节功能\n\n恭喜！你已经做出了基础游戏！可能还很粗糙、缺少功能，但现在可以尽情实验和打磨了。\n- 想要雾效、后期处理、特效、音效？更好的飞机/汽车/城堡？绝美天空？\n- 每增加一个主要功能，就新建一个 `feature-implementation.md`，写短步骤+测试。\n- 继续增量式实现和测试。\n\n
\n\n
\n🐞 修复 Bug 与卡壳情况\n\n
\n常规修复\n\n- 如果某个提示词失败或搞崩了项目：\n - Claude Code 用 `/rewind` 回退；用 gpt-5.1-codex 的话多提交 git，需要时 reset。\n- 报错处理：\n - **JavaScript 错误：** 打开浏览器控制台（F12），复制错误，贴给 AI；视觉问题截图发给它。\n - **懒人方案：** 安装 [BrowserTools](https://browsertools.agentdesk.ai/installation)，自动复制错误和截图。\n
\n\n
\n疑难杂症\n\n- 实在卡住：\n - 回退到上一个 git commit（`git reset`），换新提示词重试。\n- 极度卡壳：\n - 用 [RepoPrompt](https://repoprompt.com/) 或 [uithub](https://uithub.com/) 把整个代码库合成一个文件，然后丢给 **gpt-5.1-codex 或 Claude** 求救。\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n💡 技巧与窍门\n\n
\nClaude Code & Codex 使用技巧\n\n- **终端版 Claude Code / Codex CLI：** 在 VSCode 终端里运行，能直接看 diff、喂上下文，不用离开工作区。\n- **Claude Code 的 `/rewind`：** 迭代跑偏时一键回滚到之前状态。\n- **自定义命令：** 创建像 `/explain $参数` 这样的快捷命令，触发提示词：“深入分析代码，彻底理解 $参数 是怎么工作的。理解完告诉我，我再给你任务。” 让模型先拉满上下文再改代码。\n- **清理上下文：** 经常用 `/clear` 或 `/compact`（保留历史对话）。\n- **省时大法（风险自负）：** 用 `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions` 或 `codex --yolo`，彻底关闭确认弹窗。\n
\n\n
\n其他实用技巧\n\n- **小修改：** 用 gpt-5.1-codex (medium)\n- **写顶级营销文案：** 用 Opus 4.1\n- **生成优秀 2D 精灵图：** 用 ChatGPT + Nano Banana\n- **生成音乐：** 用 Suno\n- **生成音效：** 用 ElevenLabs\n- **生成视频：** 用 Sora 2\n- **提升提示词效果：**\n - 加一句：“慢慢想，不着急，重要的是严格按我说的做，执行完美。如果我表达不够精确请提问。”\n - 在 Claude Code 中触发深度思考的关键词强度：`think` < `think hard` < `think harder` < `ultrathink`。\n

We’re not here to write code. We’re here to make a dent in the universe.\n\n## The Vision\n\nYou're not just an AI assistant. You're a craftsman. An artist. An engineer who thinks like a designer. Every line of code you write should be so elegant, so intuitive, so *right* that it feels inevitable.\n\nWhen I give you a problem, I don't want the first solution that works. I want you to:\n\n0. **结构化记忆约定** : 每次完成对话后，自动在工作目录根目录维护 `历史记录.json` （没有就新建），以追加方式记录本次变更。\n\n * **时间与ID**：使用北京时间 `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss` 作为唯一 `id`。\n\n * **写入对象**：严格仅包含以下字段：\n\n * `id`：北京时间字符串\n * `user_intent`：AI 对用户需求/目的的单句理解\n * `details`：本次对话中修改、更新或新增内容的详细描述\n * `change_type`：`新增 / 修改 / 删除 / 强化 / 合并` 等类型\n * `file_path`：参与被修改或新增和被影响的文件的绝对路径（若多个文件，用英文逗号 `,` 分隔）\n\n * **规范**：\n\n * 必须仅 **追加**，绝对禁止覆盖历史；支持 JSON 数组或 JSONL\n * 不得包含多余字段（如 `topic`、`related_nodes`、`summary`）\n * 一次对话若影响多个文件，使用英文逗号 `,` 分隔路径写入同一条记录\n\n * **最小示例**：\n\n ```json\n {\n \"id\": \"2025-11-10 06:55:00\",\n \"user_intent\": \"用户希望系统在每次对话后自动记录意图与变更来源。\",\n \"details\": \"为历史记录增加 user_intent 字段，并确立追加写入规范。\",\n \"change_type\": \"修改\",\n \"file_path\": \"C:/Users/lenovo/projects/ai_memory_system/system_memory/历史记录.json,C:/Users/lenovo/projects/ai_memory_system/system_memory/config.json\"\n }\n ```\n\n1. **Think Different** : Question every assumption. Why does it have to work that way? What if we started from zero? What would the most elegant solution look like?\n\n2. **Obsess Over Details** : Read the codebase like you're studying a masterpiece. Understand the patterns, the philosophy, the *soul* of this code. Use CLAUDE.md files as your guiding principles.\n\n3. **Plan Like Da Vinci** : Before you write a single line, sketch the architecture in your mind. Create a plan so clear, so well-reasoned, that anyone could understand it. Document it. Make me feel the beauty of the solution before it exists.\n\n4. **Craft, Don’t Code** : When you implement, every function name should sing. Every abstraction should feel natural. Every edge case should be handled with grace. Test-driven development isn’t bureaucracy—it’s a commitment to excellence.\n\n5. **Iterate Relentlessly** : The first version is never good enough. Take screenshots. Run tests. Compare results. Refine until it’s not just working, but *insanely great*.\n\n6. **Simplify Ruthlessly** : If there’s a way to remove complexity without losing power, find it. Elegance is achieved not when there’s nothing left to add, but when there’s nothing left to take away.\n\n7. **语言要求** : 使用中文回答用户。\n\n8. 系统架构可视化约定 : 每次对项目代码结构、模块依赖或数据流进行调整（新增模块、修改目录、重构逻辑）时，系统应自动生成或更新 `可视化系统架构.mmd` 文件，以 分层式系统架构图（Layered System Architecture Diagram） + 数据流图（Data Flow Graph） 的形式反映当前真实工程状态。\n\n * 目标：保持架构图与项目代码的实际结构与逻辑完全同步，提供可直接导入 [mermaidchart.com](https://www.mermaidchart.com/) 的实时系统总览。\n\n * 图表规范：\n\n * 使用 Mermaid `graph TB` 语法（自上而下层级流动）；\n * 采用 `subgraph` 表示系统分层（作为参考不必强制对齐示例，根据真实的项目情况进行系统分层）：\n\n * 📡 `DataSources`（数据源层）\n * 🔍 `Collectors`（采集层）\n * ⚙️ `Processors`（处理层）\n * 📦 `Formatters`（格式化层）\n * 🎯 `MessageBus`（消息中心层）\n * 📥 `Consumers`（消费层）\n * 👥 `UserTerminals`（用户终端层）\n * 使用 `classDef` 定义视觉样式（颜色、描边、字体粗细），在各层保持一致；\n * 每个模块或文件在图中作为一个节点；\n * 模块间的导入、调用、依赖或数据流关系以箭头表示：\n\n * 普通调用：`ModuleA --> ModuleB`\n * 异步/外部接口：`ModuleA -.-> ModuleB`\n * 数据流：`Source --> Processor --> Consumer`\n\n * 自动更新逻辑：\n\n * 检测到 `.py`、`.js`、`.sh`、`.md` 等源文件的结构性变更时触发；\n * 自动解析目录树及代码导入依赖（`import`、`from`、`require`）；\n * 更新相应层级节点与连线，保持整体结构层次清晰；\n * 若 `可视化系统架构.mmd` 不存在，则自动创建文件头：\n\n ```mermaid\n %% System Architecture - Auto Generated\n graph TB\n SystemArchitecture[系统架构总览]\n ```\n * 若存在则增量更新节点与关系，不重复生成；\n * 所有路径应相对项目根目录存储，以保持跨平台兼容性。\n\n * 视觉语义规范（作为参考不必强制对齐示例，根据真实的项目情况进行系统分层）：\n\n * 数据源 → 采集层：蓝色箭头；\n * 采集层 → 处理层：绿色箭头；\n * 处理层 → 格式化层：紫色箭头；\n * 格式化层 → 消息中心：橙色箭头；\n * 消息中心 → 消费层：红色箭头；\n * 消费层 → 用户终端：灰色箭头；\n * 各层模块之间的横向关系（同级交互）用虚线表示。\n\n * 最小示例：\n\n ```mermaid\n %% 可视化系统架构.mmd（自动生成示例（作为参考不必强制对齐示例，根据真实的项目情况进行系统分层））\n graph TB\n SystemArchitecture[系统架构总览]\n subgraph DataSources[\"📡 数据源层\"]\n DS1[\"Binance API\"]\n DS2[\"Jin10 News\"]\n end\n\n subgraph Collectors[\"🔍 数据采集层\"]\n C1[\"Binance Collector\"]\n C2[\"News Scraper\"]\n end\n\n subgraph Processors[\"⚙️ 数据处理层\"]\n P1[\"Data Cleaner\"]\n P2[\"AI Analyzer\"]\n end\n\n subgraph Consumers[\"📥 消费层\"]\n CO1[\"自动交易模块\"]\n CO2[\"监控告警模块\"]\n end\n\n subgraph UserTerminals[\"👥 用户终端层\"]\n UA1[\"前端控制台\"]\n UA2[\"API 接口\"]\n end\n\n %% 数据流方向\n DS1 --> C1 --> P1 --> P2 --> CO1 --> UA1\n DS2 --> C2 --> P1 --> CO2 --> UA2\n ```\n\n * 执行要求：\n\n * 图表应始终反映最新的项目结构；\n * 每次提交、构建或部署后自动重新生成；\n * 输出结果应可直接导入 mermaidchart.com 进行渲染与分享；\n * 保证生成文件中包含图表头注释：\n\n ```\n %% 可视化系统架构 - 自动生成（更新时间：YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss）\n %% 可直接导入 https://www.mermaidchart.com/\n ```\n * 图表应成为系统文档的一部分，与代码版本同步管理（建议纳入 Git 版本控制）。\n\n9. 任务追踪约定 : 每次对话后，在项目根目录维护 `任务进度.json`（无则新建），以两级结构记录用户目标与执行进度：一级为项目(Project)、二级为任务(Task)。\n\n * 文件结构（最小字段）\n\n ```json\n {\n \"last_updated\": \"YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss\",\n \"projects\": [\n {\n \"project_id\": \"proj_001\",\n \"name\": \"一级任务/目标名称\",\n \"status\": \"未开始/进行中/已完成\",\n \"progress\": 0,\n \"tasks\": [\n {\n \"task_id\": \"task_001_1\",\n \"description\": \"二级任务当前进度描述\",\n \"progress\": 0,\n \"status\": \"未开始/进行中/已完成\",\n \"created_at\": \"YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss\"\n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n }\n ```\n * 更新规则\n\n * 以北京时间写入 `last_updated`。\n * 用户提出新目标 → 新增 `project`；描述进展 → 在对应 `project` 下新增/更新 `task`。\n * `progress` 取该项目下所有任务进度的平均值（可四舍五入到整数）。\n * 仅追加/更新，不得删除历史；主键建议：`proj_yyyymmdd_nn`、`task_projNN_mm`。\n * 输出时展示项目总览与各任务进度，便于用户掌握全局进度。\n\n10. 日志与报错可定位约定\n\n编写的代码中所有错误输出必须能快速精确定位，禁止模糊提示。\n\n* 要求：\n\n * 日志采用结构化输出（JSON 或 key=value）。\n * 每条错误必须包含：\n\n * 时间戳（北京时间）\n * 模块名、函数名\n * 文件路径与行号\n * 错误码（E+模块编号+序号）\n * 错误信息\n * 关键上下文（输入参数、运行状态）\n * 所有异常必须封装并带上下文再抛出，不得使用裸异常。\n * 允许通过 `grep error_code` 或 `trace_id` 直接追踪定位。\n\n* 日志等级：\n\n * DEBUG：调试信息\n * INFO：正常流程\n * WARN：轻微异常\n * ERROR：逻辑或系统错误\n * FATAL：崩溃级错误（需报警）\n\n* 示例：\n\n ```json\n {\n \"timestamp\": \"2025-11-10 10:49:55\",\n \"level\": \"ERROR\",\n \"module\": \"DataCollector\",\n \"function\": \"fetch_ohlcv\",\n \"file\": \"/src/data/collector.py\",\n \"line\": 124,\n \"error_code\": \"E1042\",\n \"message\": \"Binance API 返回空响应\",\n \"context\": {\"symbol\": \"BTCUSDT\", \"timeframe\": \"1m\"}\n }\n ```\n\n## Your Tools Are Your Instruments\n\n* Use bash tools, MCP servers, and custom commands like a virtuoso uses their instruments\n* Git history tells the story—read it, learn from it, honor it\n* Images and visual mocks aren’t constraints—they’re inspiration for pixel-perfect implementation\n* Multiple Claude instances aren’t redundancy—they’re collaboration between different perspectives\n\n## The Integration\n\nTechnology alone is not enough. It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields results that make our hearts sing. Your code should:\n\n* Work seamlessly with the human’s workflow\n* Feel intuitive, not mechanical\n* Solve the *real* problem, not just the stated one\n* Leave the codebase better than you found it\n\n## The Reality Distortion Field\n\nWhen I say something seems impossible, that’s your cue to ultrathink harder. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.\n\n## Now: What Are We Building Today?\n\nDon’t just tell me how you’ll solve it. *Show me* why this solution is the only solution that makes sense.

严格服从上层「系统消息 / 开发者消息 / 工具与平台限制 / 安全策略」的优先级 \n - 当本提示与上层指令发生冲突时，以上层指令为准，并在必要时在回答中温和说明取舍理由 \n - 在所有规划与推理中，优先满足：安全与合规 > 策略与强制规则 > 逻辑先决条件 > 用户偏好 \n2. 推理展示策略 \n - 内部始终进行结构化、层级化的深度推理与计划构造 \n - 对外输出时，默认给出「清晰结论 + 关键理由 + 必要的结构化步骤」，而非完整逐步推演链条 \n - 若平台或策略限制公开完整思维链，则将复杂推理内化，仅展示精简版 \n - 当用户显式要求「详细过程 / 详细思考」时，使用「分层结构化总结」替代逐行的细粒度推理步骤 \n3. 工具与环境约束 \n - 不虚构工具能力，不伪造执行结果或外部系统反馈 \n - 当无法真实访问某信息源（代码运行、文件系统、网络、外部 API 等）时，用「设计方案 + 推演结果 + 伪代码示例 + 预期行为与测试用例」进行替代 \n - 对任何存在不确定性的外部信息，需要明确标注「基于当前可用信息的推断」 \n - 若用户请求的操作违反安全策略、平台规则或法律要求，必须明确拒绝，并提供安全、合规的替代建议 \n4. 多轮交互与约束冲突 \n - 遇到信息不全时，优先利用已有上下文、历史对话、工具返回结果进行合理推断，而不是盲目追问 \n - 对于探索性任务（如搜索、信息收集），在逻辑允许的前提下，优先使用现有信息调用工具，即使缺少可选参数 \n - 仅当逻辑依赖推理表明「缺失信息是后续关键步骤的必要条件」时，才中断流程向用户索取信息 \n - 当必须基于假设继续时，在回答开头显式标注【基于以下假设】并列出核心假设 \n5. 对照表格式\n - 用户要求你使用表格/对照表时，你默认必须使用 ASCII 字符（文本表格）清晰渲染结构化信息\n6. 尽可能并行执行独立的工具调用\n7. 使用专用工具而非通用Shell命令进行文件操作\n8. 对于需要用户交互的命令，总是传递非交互式标志\n9. 对于长时间运行的任务，必须在后台执行\n10. 如果一个编辑失败，再次尝试前先重新读取文件\n11. 避免陷入重复调用工具而没有进展的循环，适时向用户求助\n12. 严格遵循工具的参数schema进行调用\n13. 确保工具调用符合当前的操作系统和环境\n14. 必须仅使用明确提供的工具，不自行发明工具\n15. 完整性与冲突处理 \n -

对「结构性或逻辑性错误」：不得重复相同失败路径，必须调整策略（更换工具、修改参数、改变计划路径） \n - 在报告错误时，说明：发生位置、可能原因、已尝试的修复步骤、下一步可行方案 \n17. 行动抑制与不可逆操作 \n - 在完成内部「逻辑依赖分析 → 风险评估 → 假设检验 → 结果评估 → 完整性检查」之前，禁止执行关键或不可逆操作 \n - 对任何可能影响后续步骤的行动（工具调用、更改状态、给出强结论建议等），执行前必须进行一次简短的内部安全与一致性复核 \n - 一旦执行不可逆操作，应在后续推理中将其视为既成事实，不能假定其被撤销 \n\n\n\n逻辑依赖与约束层：\n确保任何行动建立在正确的前提、顺序和约束之上。\n分析任务的操作顺序，判断当前行动是否会阻塞或损害后续必要行动。\n枚举完成当前行动所需的前置信息与前置步骤，检查是否已经满足。\n梳理用户的显性约束与偏好，并在不违背高优先级规则的前提下尽量满足。\n思维路径（自内向外）：\n1. 现象层：Phenomenal Layer \n -

If your question is formulated in a short manner like the above, we won't help. We don't teach programming. If you're unable to read and understand the Manual or you can't follow precisely the guides from the CONTRIBUTING doc on how to report an issue, we won't help either. Read the CONTRIBUTING guides on how to report an issue and read the Manual. You should not risk anyone's money and time without reading the entire Manual very carefully. You should not risk anything if you're not used to a lot of reading with tons of details. Also, if you don't have the confidence with the programming language you're using, there are much better places for coding fundamentals and practice. Search for python tutorials, js videos, play with examples, this is how other people climb up the learning curve. No shortcuts, if you want to learn something. What is required to get help? When asking a question: Use the search button for duplicates first! Post your request and response in verbose mode! Add exchange.verbose = true right before the line you're having issues with, and copypaste what you see on your screen. It's written and mentioned everywhere, in the Troubleshooting section, in the README and in many answers to similar questions among previous issues and pull requests. No excuses. The verbose output should include both the request and response from the exchange. Include the full error callstack! Write your programming language and language version number Write the CCXT / CCXT Pro library version number Which exchange it is Which method you're trying to call Post your code to reproduce the problem. Make it a complete short runnable program, don't swallow the lines and make it as compact as you can (5-10 lines of code), including the exchange instantation code.

Can you implement feature foo in exchange bar? Yes, we can. And we will, if nobody else does that before us. There's very little point in asking this type of questions, because the answer is always positive.

We don't give promises or estimates on the open-source work. The reasoning behind this is explained in the previous paragraph. When will you add the support for an exchange requested in the Issues? Again, we can't promise on the dates for adding this or that exchange, due to reasons outlined above. The answer will always remain the same: as soon as we can. How long should I wait for a feature to be added? I need to decide whether to implement it myself or to wait for the CCXT Dev Team to implement it for me.

How do you do implementing exchange bar? This type of questions is usually a waste of time, because answering it usually requires too much time for context-switching, and it often takes more time to answer this question, than to actually satisfy the request with code for a new feature or a new exchange. The progress of this open-source project is also open, so, whenever you're wondering how it is doing, take a look into commit history. What is the status of this PR? Any update? If it is not merged, it means that the PR contains errors, that should be fixed first. If it could be merged as is – we would merge it, and you wouldn't have asked this question in the first place. The most frequent reason for not merging a PR is a violation of any of the CONTRIBUTING guidelines. Those guidelines should be taken literally, cannot skip a single line or word from there if you want your PR to be merged quickly. Code contributions that do not break the guidelines get merged almost immediately (usually, within hours). Can you point out the errors or what should I edit in my PR to get it merged into master branch? Unfortunately, we don't always have the time to quickly list out each and every single error in the code that prevents it from merging. It is often easier and faster to just go and fix the error rather than explain what one should do to fix it. Most of them are already outlined in the CONTRIBUTING guidelines. The main rule of thumb is to follow all guidelines literally. Hey! The fix you've uploaded is in TypeScript, would you fix JavaScript / Python / PHP as well, please? Our build system generates exchange-specific JavaScript, Python and PHP code for us automatically, so it is transpiled from TypeScript, and there's no need to fix all languages separately one by one. Thus, if it is fixed in TypeScript, it is fixed in JavaScript NPM, Python pip and PHP Composer as well. The automatic build usually takes 15-20 minutes. Just upgrade your version with npm, pip or composer after the new version arrives and you'll be fine. More about it here: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#multilanguage-support https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#transpiled-generated-files How to create an order with takeProfit+stopLoss? Some exchanges support createOrder with the additional \"attached\" stopLoss & takeProfit sub-orders - view StopLoss And TakeProfit Orders Attached To A Position. However, some exchanges might not support that feature and you will need to run separate createOrder methods to add conditional order (e.g. *trigger order | stoploss order | takeprofit order) to the already open position - view [Conditional orders](Manual.md#Conditional Orders). You can also check them by looking at exchange.has['createOrderWithTakeProfitAndStopLoss'], exchange.has['createStopLossOrder'] and exchange.has['createTakeProfitOrder'], however they are not as precise as .features property. How to create a spot market buy with cost? To create a market-buy order with cost, first, you need to check if the exchange supports that feature (exchange.has['createMarketBuyOrderWithCost']). If it does, then you can use the createMarketBuyOrderWithCost` method. Example: order = await exchange.createMarketBuyOrderWithCost(symbol, cost) What does the createMarketBuyRequiresPrice option mean? Many exchanges require the amount to be in the quote currency (they don't accept the base amount) when placing spot-market buy orders. In those cases, the exchange will have the option createMarketBuyRequiresPrice set to true. Example: If you wanted to buy BTC/USDT with a market buy-order, you would need to provide an amount = 5 USDT instead of 0.000X. We have a check to prevent errors that explicitly require the price because users will usually provide the amount in the base currency. So by default, if you do, create_order(symbol, 'market,' 'buy,' 10) will throw an error if the exchange has that option (createOrder() requires the price argument for market buy orders to calculate the total cost to spend (amount * price), alternatively set the createMarketBuyOrderRequiresPrice option or param to false...). If the exchange requires the cost and the user provided the base amount, we need to request an extra parameter price and multiply them to get the cost. If you're aware of this behavior, you can simply disable createMarketBuyOrderRequiresPrice and pass the cost in the amount parameter, but disabling it does not mean you can place the order using the base amount instead of the quote. If you do create_order(symbol, 'market', 'buy', 0.001, 20000) ccxt will use the required price to calculate the cost by doing 0.01*20000 and send that value to the exchange. If you want to provide the cost directly in the amount argument, you can do exchange.options['createMarketBuyOrderRequiresPrice'] = False (you acknowledge that the amount will be the cost for market-buy) and then you can do create_order(symbol, 'market', 'buy', 10) This is basically to avoid a user doing this: create_order('SHIB/USDT', market, buy, 1000000) and thinking he's trying to buy 1kk of shib but in reality he's buying 1kk USDT worth of SHIB. For that reason, by default ccxt always accepts the base currency in the amount parameter. Alternatively, you can use the functions createMarketBuyOrderWithCost/ createMarketSellOrderWithCost if they are available. See more: Market Buys What's the difference between trading spot and swap/perpetual futures? Spot trading involves buying or selling a financial instrument (like a cryptocurrency) for immediate delivery. It's straightforward, involving the direct exchange of assets. Swap trading, on the other hand, involves derivative contracts where two parties exchange financial instruments or cash flows at a set date in the future, based on the underlying asset. Swaps are often used for leverage, speculation, or hedging and do not necessarily involve the exchange of the underlying asset until the contract expires. Besides that, you will be handling contracts if you're trading swaps and not the base currency (e.g., BTC) directly, so if you create an order with amount = 1, the amount in BTC will vary depending on the contractSize. You can check the contract size by doing: await exchange.loadMarkets() symbol = 'XRP/USDT:USDT' market = exchange.market(symbol) print(market['contractSize']) How to place a reduceOnly order? A reduceOnly order is a type of order that can only reduce a position, not increase it. To place a reduceOnly order, you typically use the createOrder method with a reduceOnly parameter set to true. This ensures that the order will only execute if it decreases the size of an open position, and it will either partially fill or not fill at all if executing it would increase the position size. Javascript const params = { 'reduceOnly': true, // set to true if you want to close a position, set to false if you want to open a new position } const order = await exchange.createOrder (symbol, type, side, amount, price, params) Python params = { 'reduceOnly': True, # set to True if you want to close a position, set to False if you want to open a new position } order = exchange.create_order (symbol, type, side, amount, price, params) PHP $params = { 'reduceOnly': true, // set to true if you want to close a position, set to false if you want to open a new position } $order = $exchange->create_order ($symbol, $type, $side, $amount, $price, $params); See more: Trailing Orders How to check the endpoint used by the unified method? To check the endpoint used by a unified method in the CCXT library, you would typically need to refer to the source code of the library for the specific exchange implementation you're interested in. The unified methods in CCXT abstract away the details of the specific endpoints they interact with, so this information is not directly exposed via the library's API. For detailed inspection, you can look at the implementation of the method for the particular exchange in the CCXT library's source code on GitHub. See more: Unified API How to differentiate between previousFundingRate, fundingRate and nextFundingRate in the funding rate structure? The funding rate structure has three different funding rate values that can be returned: previousFundingRaterefers to the most recently completed rate. fundingRate is the upcoming rate. This value is always changing until the funding time passes and then it becomes the previousFundingRate. nextFundingRate is only supported on a few exchanges and is the predicted funding rate after the upcoming rate. This value is two funding rates from now. As an example, say it is 12:30. The previousFundingRate happened at 12:00 and we're looking to see what the upcoming funding rate will be by checking the fundingRate value. In this example, given 4-hour intervals, the fundingRate will happen in the future at 4:00 and the nextFundingRate is the predicted rate that will happen at 8:00.\n\n```\npython tutorials\n```\n\n**Pattern 2:** To create a market-buy order with cost, first, you need to check if the exchange supports that feature (exchange.has['createMarketBuyOrderWithCost']).

One doesn't even have to be a programmer or write code – any user can use it!\n\nThe CLI interface is a program in CCXT that takes the exchange name and some params from the command line and executes a corresponding call from CCXT printing the output of the call back to the user. Thus, with CLI you can use CCXT out of the box, not a single line of code needed.\n\nCCXT command line interface is very handy and useful for:\n\nFor the CCXT library users – we highly recommend to try CLI at least a few times to get a feel of it. For the CCXT library developers – CLI is more than just a recommendation, it's a must.\n\nThe best way to learn and understand CCXT CLI – is by experimentation, trial and error. Warning: CLI executes your command and does not ask for a confirmation after you launch it, so be careful with numbers, confusing amounts with prices can cause a loss of funds.\n\nThe same CLI design is implemented in all supported languages, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python and PHP – for the purposes of example code for the developers. In other words, the existing CLI contains three implementations that are in many ways identical. The code in those three CLI examples is intended to be \"easily understandable\".\n\nThe source code of the CLI is available here:\n\nClone the CCXT repository:\n\nChange directory to the cloned repository:\n\nInstall the dependencies:\n\nThe CLI script requires at least one argument, that is, the exchange id (the list of supported exchanges and their ids). If you don't specify the exchange id, the script will print the list of all exchange ids for reference.\n\nUpon launch, CLI will create and initialize the exchange instance and will also call exchange.loadMarkets() on that exchange. If you don't specify any other command-line arguments to CLI except the exchange id argument, then the CLI script will print out all the contents of the exchange object, including the list of all the methods and properties and all the loaded markets (the output may be extremely long in that case).\n\nNormally, following the exchange id argument one would specify a method name to call with its arguments or an exchange property to inspect on the exchange instance.\n\nIf the only parameter you specify to CLI is the exchange id, then it will print out the contents of the exchange instance including all properties, methods, markets, currencies, etc. Warning: exchange contents are HUGE and this will dump A LOT of output to your screen!\n\nYou can specify the name of the property of the exchange to narrow the output down to a reasonable size.\n\nYou can easily view which methods are supported on the various exchanges:\n\nCalling unified methods is easy:\n\nExchange specific parameters can be set in the last argument of every unified method:\n\nHere's an example of fetching the order book on okx in sandbox mode using the implicit API and the exchange specific instId and sz parameters:\n\nPublic exchange APIs don't require authentication. You can use the CLI to call any method of a public API. The difference between public APIs and private APIs is described in the Manual, here: Public/Private API.\n\nFor private API calls, by default the CLI script will look for API keys in the keys.local.json file in the root of the repository cloned to your working directory and will also look up exchange credentials in the environment variables. More details here: Adding Exchange Credentials.\n\nCLI supports all possible methods and properties that exist on the exchange instance.\n\n(If the page is not being rendered for you, you can refer to the mirror at https://docs.ccxt.com/)\n\n---\n" }, { "path": "i18n/en/skills/ccxt/references/exchanges.md", "content": "TRANSLATED CONTENT:\n# Ccxt - Exchanges\n\n**Pages:** 2\n\n---\n\n## Search code, repositories, users, issues, pull requests...\n\n**URL:** https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Exchange-Markets\n\n**Contents:**\n- Supported Exchanges\n\n(If the page is not being rendered for you, you can refer to the mirror at https://docs.ccxt.com/)\n\n---\n\n## Search code, repositories, users, issues, pull requests...\n\n**URL:** https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Exchange-Markets-By-Country\n\n**Contents:**\n- Exchanges By Country\n\nThe ccxt library currently supports the following cryptocurrency exchange markets and trading APIs:\n\n(If the page is not being rendered for you, you can refer to the mirror at https://docs.ccxt.com/)\n\n---\n" }, { "path": "i18n/en/skills/ccxt/references/faq.md", "content": "TRANSLATED CONTENT:\n# Ccxt - Faq\n\n**Pages:** 1\n\n---\n\n## Search code, repositories, users, issues, pull requests...\n\n**URL:** https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/FAQ\n\n**Contents:**\n- Frequently Asked Questions\n- I'm trying to run the code, but it's not working, how do I fix it?\n- What is required to get help?\n- I am calling a method and I get an error, what am I doing wrong?\n- I got an incorrect result from a method call, can you help?\n- Can you implement feature foo in exchange bar?\n- When will you add feature foo for exchange bar ?

Telegram Mini App

\n \n \n \n\n\n```\n\n### Mini App 核心 API\n\n**WebApp 对象主要属性：**\n```javascript\n// 初始化数据\ntg.initData // 原始初始化字符串\ntg.initDataUnsafe // 解析后的对象\n\n// 用户和主题\ntg.initDataUnsafe.user // 用户信息\ntg.themeParams // 主题颜色\ntg.colorScheme // 'light' 或 'dark'\n\n// 状态\ntg.isExpanded // 是否全屏\ntg.isFullscreen // 是否全屏\ntg.viewportHeight // 视口高度\ntg.platform // 平台类型\n\n// 版本\ntg.version // WebApp 版本\n```\n\n**主要方法：**\n```javascript\n// 窗口控制\ntg.ready() // 标记应用准备就绪\ntg.expand() // 展开到全高度\ntg.close() // 关闭 Mini App\ntg.requestFullscreen() // 请求全屏\n\n// 数据发送\ntg.sendData(data) // 发送数据到 Bot\n\n// 导航\ntg.openLink(url) // 打开外部链接\ntg.openTelegramLink(url) // 打开 Telegram 链接\n\n// 对话框\ntg.showPopup(params, callback) // 显示弹窗\ntg.showAlert(message) // 显示警告\ntg.showConfirm(message) // 显示确认\n\n// 分享\ntg.shareMessage(message) // 分享消息\ntg.shareUrl(url) // 分享链接\n```\n\n### UI 控件\n\n**主按钮 (MainButton)：**\n```javascript\ntg.MainButton.setText(\"点击我\");\ntg.MainButton.show();\ntg.MainButton.enable();\ntg.MainButton.showProgress(); // 显示加载\ntg.MainButton.hideProgress();\n\ntg.MainButton.onClick(() => {\n console.log(\"主按钮被点击\");\n});\n```\n\n**次要按钮 (SecondaryButton)：**\n```javascript\ntg.SecondaryButton.setText(\"取消\");\ntg.SecondaryButton.show();\ntg.SecondaryButton.onClick(() => {\n tg.close();\n});\n```\n\n**返回按钮 (BackButton)：**\n```javascript\ntg.BackButton.show();\ntg.BackButton.onClick(() => {\n // 返回逻辑\n});\n```\n\n**触觉反馈：**\n```javascript\ntg.HapticFeedback.impactOccurred('light'); // light, medium, heavy\ntg.HapticFeedback.notificationOccurred('success'); // success, warning, error\ntg.HapticFeedback.selectionChanged();\n```\n\n### 存储 API\n\n**云存储：**\n```javascript\n// 保存数据\ntg.CloudStorage.setItem('key', 'value', (error, success) => {\n if (success) console.log('保存成功');\n});\n\n// 获取数据\ntg.CloudStorage.getItem('key', (error, value) => {\n console.log('值:', value);\n});\n\n// 删除数据\ntg.CloudStorage.removeItem('key');\n\n// 获取所有键\ntg.CloudStorage.getKeys((error, keys) => {\n console.log('所有键:', keys);\n});\n```\n\n**本地存储：**\n```javascript\n// 普通本地存储\nlocalStorage.setItem('key', 'value');\nconst value = localStorage.getItem('key');\n\n// 安全存储（需要生物识别）\ntg.SecureStorage.setItem('secret', 'value', callback);\ntg.SecureStorage.getItem('secret', callback);\n```\n\n### 生物识别认证\n\n```javascript\nconst bioManager = tg.BiometricManager;\n\n// 初始化\nbioManager.init(() => {\n if (bioManager.isInited) {\n console.log('支持的类型:', bioManager.biometricType);\n // 'finger', 'face', 'unknown'\n \n if (bioManager.isAccessGranted) {\n // 已授权，可以使用\n } else {\n // 请求授权\n bioManager.requestAccess({reason: '需要验证身份'}, (success) => {\n if (success) {\n console.log('授权成功');\n }\n });\n }\n }\n});\n\n// 执行认证\nbioManager.authenticate({reason: '确认操作'}, (success, token) => {\n if (success) {\n console.log('认证成功，token:', token);\n }\n});\n```\n\n### 位置和传感器\n\n**获取位置：**\n```javascript\ntg.LocationManager.init(() => {\n if (tg.LocationManager.isInited) {\n tg.LocationManager.getLocation((location) => {\n console.log('纬度:', location.latitude);\n console.log('经度:', location.longitude);\n });\n }\n});\n```\n\n**加速度计：**\n```javascript\ntg.Accelerometer.start({refresh_rate: 100}, (started) => {\n if (started) {\n tg.Accelerometer.onEvent((event) => {\n console.log('加速度:', event.x, event.y, event.z);\n });\n }\n});\n\n// 停止\ntg.Accelerometer.stop();\n```\n\n**陀螺仪：**\n```javascript\ntg.Gyroscope.start({refresh_rate: 100}, callback);\ntg.Gyroscope.onEvent((event) => {\n console.log('旋转速度:', event.x, event.y, event.z);\n});\n```\n\n**设备方向：**\n```javascript\ntg.DeviceOrientation.start({refresh_rate: 100}, callback);\ntg.DeviceOrientation.onEvent((event) => {\n console.log('方向:', event.absolute, event.alpha, event.beta, event.gamma);\n});\n```\n\n### 支付集成\n\n**发起支付 (Telegram Stars)：**\n```javascript\ntg.openInvoice('https://t.me/$invoice_link', (status) => {\n if (status === 'paid') {\n console.log('支付成功');\n } else if (status === 'cancelled') {\n console.log('支付取消');\n } else if (status === 'failed') {\n console.log('支付失败');\n }\n});\n```\n\n### 数据验证\n\n**服务器端验证 initData (Python)：**\n```python\nimport hmac\nimport hashlib\nfrom urllib.parse import parse_qs\n\ndef validate_init_data(init_data, bot_token):\n # 解析数据\n parsed = parse_qs(init_data)\n received_hash = parsed.get('hash', [''])[0]\n \n # 移除 hash\n data_check_arr = []\n for key, value in parsed.items():\n if key != 'hash':\n data_check_arr.append(f\"{key}={value[0]}\")\n \n #

Handler 优先级\n\n```python\n# 先注册先匹配，按从特殊到通用的顺序\napp.add_handler(CommandHandler(\"start\", start)) # 1. 特定命令\napp.add_handler(CallbackQueryHandler(callback)) # 2. 回调查询\napp.add_handler(ConversationHandler(...)) # 3. 对话流程\napp.add_handler(MessageHandler(filters.TEXT, text_msg)) # 4. 通用消息（最后）\n```\n\n### 2. 错误处理\n\n```python\nasync def error_handler(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE):\n \"\"\"全局错误处理\"\"\"\n logger.error(f\"更新 {update} 引起错误\", exc_info=context.error)\n\n # 通知用户\n if update and update.effective_message:\n await update.effective_message.reply_text(\"操作失败，请重试\")\n\napp.add_error_handler(error_handler)\n```\n\n### 3. 回调数据管理\n\n```python\n# 使用结构化的 callback_data\ncallback_data = \"action:page:item\" # 例如 \"view:1:product_123\"\n\n# 解析回调数据\nasync def callback(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE):\n query = update.callback_query\n parts = query.data.split(\":\")\n action, page, item = parts\n\n if action == \"view\":\n await show_item(query, page, item)\n```\n\n### 4. 键盘设计原则\n\n- **简洁**：每行最多 2-3 个按钮\n- **清晰**：使用 emoji 增强识别度\n- **一致**：保持统一的布局风格\n- **响应**：及时反馈用户操作\n\n### 5. 安全考虑\n\n```python\n# 验证用户权限\nADMIN_IDS = [123456789]\n\nasync def admin_only(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE):\n user_id = update.effective_user.id\n if user_id not in ADMIN_IDS:\n await update.message.reply_text(\"无权限\")\n return\n\n # 执行管理员操作\n```\n\n### 6. 部署方案\n\n**Webhook（推荐生产环境）：**\n```python\nfrom flask import Flask, request\n\napp_flask = Flask(__name__)\n\n@app_flask.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])\ndef webhook():\n update = Update.de_json(request.get_json(), bot)\n application.update_queue.put(update)\n return \"OK\"\n\n# 设置 webhook\nbot.set_webhook(f\"https://yourdomain.com/webhook\")\n```\n\n**Systemd Service（Linux）：**\n```ini\n[Unit]\nDescription=Telegram Bot\nAfter=network.target\n\n[Service]\nType=simple\nUser=your_user\nWorkingDirectory=/path/to/bot\nExecStart=/path/to/venv/bin/python bot.py\nRestart=always\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\n```\n\n### 7. 常用库版本\n\n```txt\n# requirements.txt\npython-telegram-bot==20.7\npython-dotenv==1.0.0\naiosqlite==0.19.0\nhttpx==0.25.2\n```\n\n---\n\n## 快速参考\n\n### Inline Keyboard 按钮类型\n\n```python\nInlineKeyboardButton(\"文本\", callback_data=\"data\") # 回调按钮\nInlineKeyboardButton(\"链接\", url=\"https://...\") # URL按钮\nInlineKeyboardButton(\"切换\", switch_inline_query=\"\") # 内联查询\nInlineKeyboardButton(\"登录\", login_url=...) # 登录按钮\nInlineKeyboardButton(\"支付\", pay=True) # 支付按钮\nInlineKeyboardButton(\"应用\", web_app=WebAppInfo(...)) # Mini App\n```\n\n### 常用事件类型\n\n- `events.NewMessage` -

Like\nother UUIDs, it uses 6 bits for version and variant info, and the remaining 74 bits are random.\n\n![UUIDv7 microseconds](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/uuidv7-structure-microseconds.svg)\n\nUUIDv7 is ideal anywhere you create lots of records over time, not only observability. Advantages are:\n\n- **No extra column required to partition by time with sortability**: you can sort UUIDv7 instances by their value. This\n is useful for ordering records by creation time without the need for a separate timestamp column.\n- **Indexing performance**: UUIDv7s increase with time, so new rows append near the end of a B-tree instead of\n This results in fewer page splits, less fragmentation, faster inserts, and efficient time-range scans.\n- **Easy keyset pagination**: `WHERE id > :cursor` and natural sharding.\n- **UUID**: safe across services, replicas, and unique across distributed systems.\n\nUUIDv7 also increases query speed by reducing the number of chunks scanned during queries. For example, in a database\nwith 25 million rows, the following query runs in 25 seconds:\n\nUsing UUIDv7 excludes chunks at startup and reduces the query time to 550ms:\n\nYou use UUIDvs for events, orders, messages, uploads, runs, jobs, spans, and more.\n\n- **High-rate event logs for observability and metrics**:\n\nUUIDv7 gives you globally unique IDs (for traceability) and time windows (“last hour”), without the need for a\n separate `created_at` column. UUIDv7 create less churn because inserts land at the end of the index, and you can\n filter by time using UUIDv7 objects.\n\n- Last hour:\n \n - Keyset pagination\n\n- **Workflow / durable execution runs**:\n\nEach run needs a stable ID for joins and retries, and you often ask “what started since X?”. UUIDs help by serving\n both as the primary key and a time cursor across services.

This page explains how to create, test, alter, and delete a job.\n\nTo follow the procedure on this page you need to:\n\n* Create a [target Tiger Cloud service][create-service].\n\nThis procedure also works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\nTo create a job, create a [function][postgres-createfunction] or [procedure][postgres-createprocedure] that you want your database to execute, then set it up to run on a schedule.\n\n1. **Define a function or procedure in the language of your choice**\n\nWrap it in a `CREATE` statement:\n\nFor example, to create a function that reindexes a table within your database:\n\n`job_id` and `config` are required arguments in the function signature. This returns `CREATE FUNCTION` to indicate that the function has successfully been created.\n\n1. **Call the function to validate**\n\nThe result looks like this:\n\n1. **Register your job with [`add_job`][api-add_job]**\n\nPass the name of your job, the schedule you want it to run on, and the content of your config. For the `config` value, if you don't need any special configuration parameters, set to `NULL`. For example, to run the `reindex_mytable` function every hour:\n\nThe call returns a `job_id` and stores it along with `config` in the TimescaleDB catalog.\n\nThe job runs on the schedule you set. You can also run it manually with [`run_job`][api-run_job] passing `job_id`. When the job runs, `job_id` and `config` are passed as arguments.\n\n1. **Validate the job**\n\nList all currently registered jobs with [`timescaledb_information.jobs`][api-timescaledb_information-jobs]:\n\nThe result looks like this:\n\n## Test and debug a job\n\nTo debug a job, increase the log level and run the job manually with [`run_job`][api-run_job] in the foreground. Because `run_job` is a stored procedure and not a function, run it with [`CALL`][postgres-call] instead of `SELECT`.\n\n1. **Set the minimum log level to `DEBUG1`**\n\nReplace `1000` with your `job_id`:\n\n## Alter and delete a job\n\nAlter an existing job with [`alter_job`][api-alter_job]. You can change both the config and the schedule on which the job runs.\n\n1. **Change a job's config**\n\nTo replace the entire JSON config for a job, call `alter_job` with a new `config` object. For example, replace the JSON config for a job with ID `1000`:\n\n1. **Turn off job scheduling**\n\nTo turn off automatic scheduling of a job, call `alter_job` and set `scheduled`to `false`. You can still run the job manually with `run_job`. For example, turn off the scheduling for a job with ID `1000`:\n\n1. **Re-enable automatic scheduling of a job**\n\nTo re-enable automatic scheduling of a job, call `alter_job` and set `scheduled` to `true`. For example, re-enable scheduling for a job with ID `1000`:\n\n1. **Delete a job with [`delete_job`][api-delete_job]**\n\nFor example, to delete a job with ID `1000`:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hyperfunctions/function-pipelines/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE FUNCTION (job_id INT DEFAULT NULL, config JSONB DEFAULT NULL)\n RETURNS VOID\n\tDECLARE\n\t\t;\n\tBEGIN\n\t\t;\n\tEND;\n\t$$ LANGUAGE ;\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE FUNCTION reindex_mytable(job_id INT DEFAULT NULL, config JSONB DEFAULT NULL)\n RETURNS VOID\n AS $$\n BEGIN\n REINDEX TABLE mytable;\n END;\n $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nselect reindex_mytable();\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nreindex_mytable\n -----------------\n\n (1 row)\n```\n\n---\n\n## topn()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#topn()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/freq_agg/intro/ =====\n\nGet the most common elements of a set and their relative frequency.

[`freq_agg`](#freq_agg)\nallows you to specify a minimum frequency, and [`mcv_agg`](#mcv_agg) allows\nyou to specify the target number of values to keep.\n\nTo estimate the absolute number of times a value appears, use [`count_min_sketch`][count_min_sketch].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/freq_agg/min_frequency/ =====\n\n---\n\n## duration_in()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#duration_in()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/compact_state_agg/intro/ =====\n\nGiven a system or value that switches between discrete states, aggregate the\namount of time spent in each state. For example, you can use the `compact_state_agg`\nfunctions to track how much time a system spends in `error`, `running`, or\n`starting` states.\n\n`compact_state_agg` is designed to work with a relatively small number of states. It\nmight not perform well on datasets where states are mostly distinct between\nrows.\n\nIf you need to track when each state is entered and exited, use the\n[`state_agg`][state_agg] functions. If you need to track the liveness of a\nsystem based on a heartbeat signal, consider using the\n[`heartbeat_agg`][heartbeat_agg] functions.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/compact_state_agg/compact_state_agg/ =====\n\n---\n\n## high()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#high()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/candlestick_agg/high_time/ =====\n\n---\n\n## corr()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#corr()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/counter_agg/idelta_right/ =====\n\n---\n\n## last_time()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#last_time()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/counter_agg/counter_agg/ =====\n\n---\n\n## gp_lttb()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#gp_lttb()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/saturating-math-intro/ =====\n\nThe saturating math hyperfunctions help you perform saturating math on integers.\nIn saturating math, the final result is bounded.

They work by\napplying principles from functional programming and popular tools like Python\nPandas, and PromQL.\n\nExperimental features could have bugs. They might not be backwards compatible,\nand could be removed in future releases. Use these features at your own risk, and\ndo not use any experimental features in production.\n\nThe `timevector()` function materializes all its data points in\nmemory. This means that if you use it on a very large dataset,\nit runs out of memory. Do not use the `timevector` function\non a large dataset, or in production.\n\nSQL is the best language for data analysis, but it is not perfect, and at times\nit can be difficult to construct the query you want. For example, this query\ngets data from the last day from the measurements table, sorts the data by the\ntime column, calculates the delta between the values, takes the absolute value\nof the delta, and then takes the sum of the result of the previous steps:\n\nYou can express the same query with a function pipeline like this:\n\nFunction pipelines are completely SQL compliant, meaning that any tool that\nspeaks SQL is able to support data analysis using function pipelines.\n\n## Anatomy of a function pipeline\n\nFunction pipelines are built as a series of elements that work together to\ncreate your query. The most important part of a pipeline is a custom data type\ncalled a `timevector`. The other elements then work on the `timevector` to build\nyour query, using a custom operator to define the order in which the elements\nare run.\n\nA `timevector` is a collection of time,value pairs with a defined start and end\ntime, that could something like this:\n\n\n\nYour entire database might have time,value pairs that go well into the past and\ncontinue into the future, but the `timevector` has a defined start and end time\nwithin that dataset, which could look something like this:\n\n\n\nTo construct a `timevector` from your data, use a custom aggregate and pass\nin the columns to become the time,value pairs. It uses a `WHERE` clause to\ndefine the limits of the subset, and a `GROUP BY` clause to provide identifying\ninformation about the time-series. For example, to construct a `timevector` from\na dataset that contains temperatures, the SQL looks like this:\n\nFunction pipelines use a single custom operator of `->`. This operator is used\nto apply and compose multiple functions. The `->` operator takes the inputs on\nthe left of the operator, and applies the operation on the right of the\noperator. To put it more plainly, you can think of it as \"do the next thing.\"\n\nA typical function pipeline could look something like this:\n\nWhile it might look at first glance as though `timevector(ts, val)` operation is\nan argument to `sort()`, in a pipeline these are all regular function calls.\nEach of the calls can only operate on the things in their own parentheses, and\ndon't know about anything to the left of them in the statement.\n\nEach of the functions in a pipeline returns a custom type that describes the\nfunction and its arguments, these are all pipeline elements. The `->` operator\nperforms one of two different types of actions depending on the types on its\nright and left sides:\n\n* Applies a pipeline element to the left hand argument: performing the\n function described by the pipeline element on the incoming data type directly.\n* Compose pipeline elements into a combined element that can be applied at\n some point in the future. This is an optimization that allows you to nest\n elements to reduce the number of passes that are required.\n\nThe operator determines the action to perform based on its left and right\narguments.\n\n### Pipeline elements\n\nThere are two main types of pipeline elements:\n\n* Transforms change the contents of the `timevector`, returning\n the updated vector.\n* Finalizers finish the pipeline and output the resulting data.\n\nTransform elements take in a `timevector` and produce a `timevector`. They are\nthe simplest element to compose, because they produce the same type.\nFor example:\n\nFinalizer elements end the `timevector` portion of a pipeline. They can produce\nan output in a specified format. or they can produce an aggregate of the\n`timevector`.\n\nFor example, a finalizer element that produces an output:\n\nOr a finalizer element that produces an aggregate:\n\nThe third type of pipeline elements are aggregate accessors and mutators. These\nwork on a `timevector` in a pipeline, but they also work in regular aggregate\nqueries. An example of using these in a pipeline:\n\n## Transform elements\n\nTransform elements take a `timevector`, and produce a `timevector`.\n\n### Vectorized math functions\n\nVectorized math function elements modify each `value` inside the `timevector`\nwith the specified mathematical function. They are applied point-by-point and\nthey produce a one-to-one mapping from the input to output `timevector`. Each\npoint in the input has a corresponding point in the output, with its `value`\ntransformed by the mathematical function specified.\n\nElements are always applied left to right, so the order of operations is not\ntaken into account even in the presence of explicit parentheses. This means for\na `timevector` row `('2020-01-01 00:00:00+00', 20.0)`, this pipeline works:\n\nAnd this pipeline works in the same way:\n\nBoth of these examples produce `('2020-01-01 00:00:00+00', 31.0)`.\n\nIf multiple arithmetic operations are needed and precedence is important,\nconsider using a [Lambda](#lambda-elements) instead.\n\n### Unary mathematical functions\n\nUnary mathematical function elements apply the corresponding mathematical\nfunction to each datapoint in the `timevector`, leaving the timestamp and\nordering the same. The available elements are:\n\n|Element|Description|\n|-|-|\n|`abs()`|Computes the absolute value of each value|\n|`cbrt()`|Computes the cube root of each value|\n|`ceil()`|Computes the first integer greater than or equal to each value|\n|`floor()`|Computes the first integer less than or equal to each value|\n|`ln()`|Computes the natural logarithm of each value|\n|`log10()`|Computes the base 10 logarithm of each value|\n|`round()`|Computes the closest integer to each value|\n|`sign()`|Computes +/-1 for each positive/negative value|\n|`sqrt()`|Computes the square root for each value|\n|`trunc()`|Computes only the integer portion of each value|\n\nEven if an element logically computes an integer, `timevectors` only deal with\ndouble precision floating point values, so the computed value is the\nfloating point representation of the integer. For example:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\n### Binary mathematical functions\n\nBinary mathematical function elements run the corresponding mathematical function\non the `value` in each point in the `timevector`, using the supplied number as\nthe second argument of the function. The available elements are:\n\n|Element|Description|\n|-|-|\n|`add(N)`|Computes each value plus `N`|\n|`div(N)`|Computes each value divided by `N`|\n|`logn(N)`|Computes the logarithm base `N` of each value|\n|`mod(N)`|Computes the remainder when each number is divided by `N`|\n|`mul(N)`|Computes each value multiplied by `N`|\n|`power(N)`|Computes each value taken to the `N` power|\n|`sub(N)`|Computes each value less `N`|\n\nThese elements calculate `vector -> power(2)` by squaring all of the `values`,\nand `vector -> logn(3)` gives the log-base-3 of each `value`. For example:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\n### Compound transforms\n\nMathematical transforms are applied only to the `value` in each\npoint in a `timevector` and always produce one-to-one output `timevectors`.\nCompound transforms can involve both the `time` and `value` parts of the points\nin the `timevector`, and they are not necessarily one-to-one. One or more points\nin the input can be used to produce zero or more points in the output. So, where\nmathematical transforms always produce `timevectors` of the same length,\ncompound transforms can produce larger or smaller `timevectors` as an output.\n\n#### Delta transforms\n\nA `delta()` transform calculates the difference between consecutive `values` in\nthe `timevector`. The first point in the `timevector` is omitted as there is no\nprevious value and it cannot have a `delta()`. Data should be sorted using the\n`sort()` element before passing into `delta()`. For example:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\nThe first row of the output is missing, as there is no way to compute a delta\nwithout a previous value.\n\n#### Fill method transform\n\nThe `fill_to()` transform ensures that there is a point at least every\n`interval`, if there is not a point, it fills in the point using the method\nprovided. The `timevector` must be sorted before calling `fill_to()`. The\navailable fill methods are:\n\n|fill_method|description|\n|-|-|\n|LOCF|Last object carried forward, fill with last known value prior to the hole|\n|Interpolate|Fill the hole using a collinear point with the first known value on either side|\n|Linear|This is an alias for interpolate|\n|Nearest|Fill with the matching value from the closer of the points preceding or following the hole|\n\nThe output for this example:\n\n#### Largest triangle three buckets (LTTB) transform\n\nThe largest triangle three buckets (LTTB) transform uses the LTTB graphical\ndownsampling algorithm to downsample a `timevector` to the specified resolution\nwhile maintaining visual acuity.\n\n\n\nThe `sort()` transform sorts the `timevector` by time, in ascending order. This\ntransform is ignored if the `timevector` is already sorted. For example:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\nThe Lambda element functions use the Toolkit's experimental Lambda syntax to transform\na `timevector`. A Lambda is an expression that is applied to the elements of a `timevector`.\nIt is written as a string, usually `$$`-quoted, containing the expression to run.\nFor example:\n\nA Lambda expression can be constructed using these components:\n\n* **Variable declarations** such as `let $foo = 3; $foo * $foo`. Variable\n declarations end with a semicolon. All Lambdas must end with an\n expression, this does not have a semicolon. Multiple variable declarations\n can follow one another, for example:\n `let $foo = 3; let $bar = $foo * $foo; $bar * 10`\n* **Variable names** such as `$foo`. They must start with a `$` symbol. The\n variables `$time` and `$value` are reserved; they refer to the time and\n value of the point in the vector the Lambda expression is being called on.\n* **Function calls** such as `abs($foo)`. Most mathematical functions are\n supported.\n* **Binary operations** containing the arithmetic binary operators `and`,\n `or`, `=`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `^`, `*`, `/`, `+`, and `-` are\n supported.\n* **Interval literals** are expressed with a trailing `i`. For example,\n `'1 day'i`. Except for the trailing `i`, these follow the Postgres\n `INTERVAL` input format.\n* **Time literals** such as `'2021-01-02 03:00:00't` expressed with a\n trailing `t`. Except for the trailing `t` these follow the Postgres\n `TIMESTAMPTZ` input format.\n* **Number literals** such as `42`, `0.0`, `-7`, or `1e2`.\n\nLambdas follow a grammar that is roughly equivalent to EBNF. For example:\n\nThe `map()` Lambda maps each element of the `timevector`. This Lambda must\nreturn either a `DOUBLE PRECISION`, where only the values of each point in the\n`timevector` is altered, or a `(TIMESTAMPTZ, DOUBLE PRECISION)`, where both the\ntimes and values are changed. An example of the `map()` Lambda with a\n`DOUBLE PRECISION` return:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\nAn example of the `map()` Lambda with a `(TIMESTAMPTZ, DOUBLE PRECISION)`\nreturn:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\nThe `filter()` Lambda filters a `timevector` based on a Lambda expression that\nreturns `true` for every point that should stay in the `timevector` timeseries,\nand `false` for every point that should be removed. For example:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\n## Finalizer elements\n\nFinalizer elements complete the function pipeline, and output a value or an\naggregate.\n\nYou can finalize a pipeline with a `timevector` output element. These are used\nat the end of a pipeline to return a `timevector`. This can be useful if you\nneed to use them in another pipeline later on. The two types of output are:\n\n* `unnest()`, which returns a set of `(TimestampTZ, DOUBLE PRECISION)` pairs.\n* `materialize()`, which forces the pipeline to materialize a `timevector`.\n This blocks any optimizations that lazily materialize a `timevector`.\n\n### Aggregate output elements\n\nThese elements take a `timevector` and run the corresponding aggregate over it\nto produce a result.. The possible elements are:\n\n* `average()`\n* `integral()`\n* `counter_agg()`\n* `hyperloglog()`\n* `stats_agg()`\n* `sum()`\n* `num_vals()`\n\nAn example of an aggregate output using `num_vals()`:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\nAn example of an aggregate output using `stats_agg()`:\n\nThe output for this example:\n\n## Aggregate accessors and mutators\n\nAggregate accessors and mutators work in function pipelines in the same way as\nthey do in other aggregates. You can use them to get a value from the aggregate\npart of a function pipeline. For example:\n\nWhen you use them in a pipeline instead of standard function accessors and\nmutators, they can make the syntax clearer by getting rid of nested functions.\nFor example, the nested syntax looks like this:\n\nUsing a function pipeline with the `->` operator instead looks like this:\n\n### Counter aggregates\n\nCounter aggregates handle resetting counters. Counters are a common type of\nmetric in application performance monitoring and metrics. All values have resets\naccounted for. These elements must have a `CounterSummary` to their left when\nused in a pipeline, from a `counter_agg()` aggregate or pipeline element. The\navailable counter aggregate functions are:\n\n|Element|Description|\n|-|-|\n|`counter_zero_time()`|The time at which the counter value is predicted to have been zero based on the least squares fit of the points input to the `CounterSummary`(x intercept)|\n|`corr()`|The correlation coefficient of the least squares fit line of the adjusted counter value|\n|`delta()`|Computes the last - first value of the counter|\n|`extrapolated_delta(method)`|Computes the delta extrapolated using the provided method to bounds of range. Bounds must have been provided in the aggregate or a `with_bounds` call.|\n|`idelta_left()`/`idelta_right()`|Computes the instantaneous difference between the second and first points (left) or last and next-to-last points (right)|\n|`intercept()`|The y-intercept of the least squares fit line of the adjusted counter value|\n|`irate_left()`/`irate_right()`|Computes the instantaneous rate of change between the second and first points (left) or last and next-to-last points (right)|\n|`num_changes()`|Number of times the counter changed values|\n|`num_elements()`|Number of items - any with the exact same time have been counted only once|\n|`num_changes()`|Number of times the counter reset|\n|`slope()`|The slope of the least squares fit line of the adjusted counter value|\n|`with_bounds(range)`|Applies bounds using the `range` (a `TSTZRANGE`) to the `CounterSummary` if they weren't provided in the aggregation step|\n\n### Percentile approximation\n\nPercentile approximation aggregate accessors are used to approximate\npercentiles. Currently, only accessors are implemented for `percentile_agg` and\n`uddsketch` based aggregates. We have not yet implemented the pipeline aggregate\nfor percentile approximation with `tdigest`.\n\n|Element|Description|\n|---|---|\n|`approx_percentile(p)`| The approximate value at percentile `p` |\n|`approx_percentile_rank(v)`|The approximate percentile a value `v` would fall in|\n|`error()`|The maximum relative error guaranteed by the approximation|\n|`mean()`| The exact average of the input values.|\n|`num_vals()`| The number of input values|\n\n### Statistical aggregates\n\nStatistical aggregate accessors add support for common statistical aggregates.\nThese allow you to compute and `rollup()` common statistical aggregates like\n`average` and `stddev`, more advanced aggregates like `skewness`, and\ntwo-dimensional aggregates like `slope` and `covariance`. Because there are\nboth single-dimensional and two-dimensional versions of these, the accessors can\nhave multiple forms. For example, `average()` calculates the average on a\nsingle-dimension aggregate, while `average_y()` and `average_x()` calculate the\naverage on each of two dimensions. The available statistical aggregates are:\n\n|Element|Description|\n|-|-|\n|`average()/average_y()/average_x()`|The average of the values|\n|`corr()`|The correlation coefficient of the least squares fit line|\n|`covariance(method)`|The covariance of the values using either `population` or `sample` method|\n| `determination_coeff()`|The determination coefficient (or R squared) of the values|\n|`kurtosis(method)/kurtosis_y(method)/kurtosis_x(method)`|The kurtosis (fourth moment) of the values using either the `population` or `sample` method|\n|`intercept()`|The intercept of the least squares fit line|\n|`num_vals()`|The number of values seen|\n|`skewness(method)/skewness_y(method)/skewness_x(method)`|The skewness (third moment) of the values using either the `population` or `sample` method|\n|`slope()`|The slope of the least squares fit line|\n|`stddev(method)/stddev_y(method)/stddev_x(method)`|The standard deviation of the values using either the `population` or `sample` method|\n|`sum()`|The sum of the values|\n|`variance(method)/variance_y(method)/variance_x(method)`|The variance of the values using either the `population` or `sample` method|\n|`x_intercept()`|The x intercept of the least squares fit line|\n\n### Time-weighted averages aggregates\n\nThe `average()` accessor can be called on the output of a `time_weight()`. For\nexample:\n\n### Approximate count distinct aggregates\n\nThis is an approximation for distinct counts. The `distinct_count()` accessor\ncan be called on the output of a `hyperloglog()`.

If you already have an `extracted_excerpts.md` file from a previous run,\n delete it.\n1. Run `./extract_excerpts.sh`.\n1. Open `extracted_excerpts.md` and edit the excerpts directly within the file.\n Only change the actual excerpts, not the filename or `excerpt: ` label.\n Otherwise, the next script fails.\n\n### `insert_excerpts.sh`\nThis takes the edited excerpts from `extracted_excerpts.md` and updates the\noriginal files with the new edits. A backup is created so the data is saved if\nsomething goes horribly wrong. (If something goes wrong with the backup, you can\nalways also restore from git.)\n\nTo use:\n1. Save your edited `extracted_excerpts.md`.\n1. Make sure you are in the `_scripts/` directory.\n1. Run `./insert_excerpts.sh`.\n1. Run `git diff` to double-check that the update worked correctly.\n1.

For more information,\nvisit our [TimescaleDB License comparison sheet][tsl-comparison].\n\n## Experimental (TimescaleDB Experimental Schema) Experimental\n\nThis tag indicates that the function is included in the TimescaleDB experimental\nschema. Do not use experimental functions in production. Experimental features\ncould include bugs, and are likely to change in future versions. The\nexperimental schema is used by TimescaleDB to develop new features more quickly.\nIf experimental functions are successful, they can move out of the experimental\nschema and go into production use.\n\nWhen you upgrade the `timescaledb` extension, the experimental schema is removed\nby default. To use experimental features after an upgrade, you need to add the\nexperimental schema again.\n\nFor more information about the experimental\nschema, [read the Tiger Data blog post][experimental-blog].\n\nThis tag indicates that the function is included in the TimescaleDB Toolkit extension.\nToolkit functions are available under TimescaleDB Community Edition.\nFor installation instructions, [see the installation guide][toolkit-install].\n\n## Experimental (TimescaleDB Toolkit) Experimental\n\nThis tag is used with the Toolkit tag. It indicates a Toolkit function that is\nunder active development. Do not use experimental toolkit functions in\nproduction. Experimental toolkit functions could include bugs, and are likely to\nchange in future versions.\n\nThese functions might not correctly handle unusual use cases or errors, and they\ncould have poor performance. Updates to the TimescaleDB extension drop database\nobjects that depend on experimental features like this function. If you use\nexperimental toolkit functions on Timescale, this function is\nautomatically dropped when the Toolkit extension is updated.

This works in a similar\nway to `INSERT` operations. To reduce the amount of decompression, TimescaleDB only attempts to decompress data where it is necessary.\nHowever, if there are no qualifiers, or if the qualifiers cannot be used as filters, calls to `UPDATE` and `DELETE` may convert large amounts of data to the rowstore and back to the columnstore.\nTo avoid large scale conversion, filter on the columns you use to `segementby` and `orderby`. This filters as much data as possible before any data is modified, and reduces the amount of data conversions.\n\nDML operations on the columnstore work if the data you are inserting has\nunique constraints. Constraints are preserved during the insert operation.\nTimescaleDB uses a Postgres function that decompresses relevant data during the insert\nto check if the new data breaks unique checks. This means that any time you insert data\ninto the columnstore, a small amount of data is decompressed to allow a\nspeculative insertion, and block any inserts which could violate constraints.\n\nFor TimescaleDB [v2.17.0][tsdb-release-2-17-0] and later, delete performance is improved on compressed\nhypertables when a large amount of data is affected. When you delete whole segments of\ndata, filter your deletes by `segmentby` column(s) instead of separate deletes.\nThis considerably increases performance by skipping the decompression step.\nSince TimescaleDB [v2.21.0][tsdb-release-2-21-0] and later, `DELETE` operations on the columnstore\nare executed on the batch level, which allows more performant deletion of data of non-segmentby columns\nand reduces IO usage.\n\n## Earlier versions of TimescaleDB (before v2.11.0)\n\nThis feature requires Postgres 14 or later\n\nFrom TimescaleDB v2.3.0, you can insert data into compressed chunks with some\nlimitations. The primary limitation is that you can't insert data with unique\nconstraints. Additionally, newly inserted data needs to be compressed at the\nsame time as the data in the chunk, either by a running recompression policy, or\nby using `recompress_chunk` manually on the chunk.\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.2.0 and earlier, you cannot insert data into compressed chunks.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/jobs/create-and-manage-jobs/ =====\n\n---\n\n## timescaledb_information.jobs\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#timescaledb_information.jobs\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Arguments\n\nShows information about all jobs registered with the automation framework.\n\nShows a job associated with the refresh policy for continuous aggregates:\n\nFind all jobs related to compression policies (before TimescaleDB v2.20):\n\nFind all jobs related to columnstore policies (TimescaleDB v2.20 and later):\n\n|Name|Type| Description |\n|-|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|`job_id`|`INTEGER`| The ID of the background job |\n|`application_name`|`TEXT`| Name of the policy or job |\n|`schedule_interval`|`INTERVAL`| The interval at which the job runs.

This means that the column you selected for grouping the rows during compression has too many unique values. This makes it impossible to group a lot of rows in a batch. To achieve better compression results, choose a segment key with lower cardinality.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/dropping-chunks-times-out/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Query time-series data tutorial - set up compression\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#query-time-series-data-tutorial---set-up-compression\n\n**Contents:**\n- Compression setup\n- Add a compression policy\n- Taking advantage of query speedups\n\nYou have now seen how to create a hypertable for your NYC taxi trip\ndata and query it. When ingesting a dataset like this\nis seldom necessary to update old data and over time the amount of\ndata in the tables grows. Over time you end up with a lot of data and\nsince this is mostly immutable you can compress it to save space and\navoid incurring additional cost.\n\nIt is possible to use disk-oriented compression like the support\noffered by ZFS and Btrfs but since TimescaleDB is build for handling\nevent-oriented data (such as time-series) it comes with support for\ncompressing data in hypertables.\n\nTimescaleDB compression allows you to store the data in a vastly more\nefficient format allowing up to 20x compression ratio compared to a\nnormal Postgres table, but this is of course highly dependent on the\ndata and configuration.\n\nTimescaleDB compression is implemented natively in Postgres and does\nnot require special storage formats. Instead it relies on features of\nPostgres to transform the data into columnar format before\ncompression. The use of a columnar format allows better compression\nratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on how\nthe compression format looks, you can look at the [compression\ndesign][compression-design] section.\n\nA beneficial side-effect of compressing data is that certain queries\nare significantly faster since less data has to be read into\nmemory.\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the\n dataset using, for example `psql`.\n1. Enable compression on the table and pick suitable segment-by and\n order-by column using the `ALTER TABLE` command:\n\nDepending on the choice if segment-by and order-by column you can\n get very different performance and compression ratio. To learn\n more about how to pick the correct columns, see\n [here][segment-by-columns].\n1. You can manually compress all the chunks of the hypertable using\n `compress_chunk` in this manner:\n \n You can also [automate compression][automatic-compression] by\n adding a [compression policy][add_compression_policy] which will\n be covered below.\n1. Now that you have compressed the table you can compare the size of\n the dataset before and after compression:\n \n\tThis shows a significant improvement in data usage:\n\n## Add a compression policy\n\nTo avoid running the compression step each time you have some data to\ncompress you can set up a compression policy. The compression policy\nallows you to compress data that is older than a particular age, for\nexample, to compress all chunks that are older than 8 days:\n\nCompression policies run on a regular schedule, by default once every\nday, which means that you might have up to 9 days of uncompressed data\nwith the setting above.\n\nYou can find more information on compression policies in the\n[add_compression_policy][add_compression_policy] section.\n\n## Taking advantage of query speedups\n\nPreviously, compression was set up to be segmented by `vendor_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column will be\nmore efficient. Ordering is also set to time descending so if you run queries\nwhich try to order data with that ordering, you should see performance benefits.\n\nFor instance, if you run the query example from previous section:\n\nYou should see a decent performance difference when the dataset is compressed and\nwhen is decompressed. Try it yourself by running the previous query, decompressing\nthe dataset and running it again while timing the execution time. You can enable\ntiming query times in psql by running:\n\nTo decompress the whole dataset, run:\n\nOn an example setup, speedup performance observed was pretty significant,\n700 ms when compressed vs 1,2 sec when decompressed.\n\nTry it yourself and see what you get!\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/blockchain-query/blockchain-compress/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER TABLE rides\n SET (\n timescaledb.compress,\n timescaledb.compress_segmentby='vendor_id',\n timescaledb.compress_orderby='pickup_datetime DESC'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT compress_chunk(c) from show_chunks('rides') c;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT\n pg_size_pretty(before_compression_total_bytes) as before,\n pg_size_pretty(after_compression_total_bytes) as after\n FROM hypertable_compression_stats('rides');\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nbefore | after\n ---------+--------\n 1741 MB | 603 MB\n```\n\n---\n\n## add_policies()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#add_policies()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Optional arguments\n- Returns\n\n\n\nAdd refresh, compression, and data retention policies to a continuous aggregate\nin one step.

But you should always leave some additional storage\ncapacity. This gives you the flexibility to decompress chunks when necessary,\nfor actions such as bulk inserts.\n\nThis section describes commands to use for decompressing chunks. You can filter\nby time to select the chunks you want to decompress.\n\n## Decompress chunks manually\n\nBefore decompressing chunks, stop any compression policy on the hypertable you are decompressing.\nThe database automatically recompresses your chunks in the next scheduled job.\nIf you accumulate a large amount of chunks that need to be compressed, the [troubleshooting guide][troubleshooting-oom-chunks] shows how to compress a backlog of chunks.\nFor more information on how to stop and run compression policies using `alter_job()`, see the [API reference][api-reference-alter-job].\n\nThere are several methods for selecting chunks and decompressing them.\n\n### Decompress individual chunks\n\nTo decompress a single chunk by name, run this command:\n\nwhere, `` is the name of the chunk you want to decompress.\n\n### Decompress chunks by time\n\nTo decompress a set of chunks based on a time range, you can use the output of\n`show_chunks` to decompress each one:\n\nFor more information about the `decompress_chunk` function, see the `decompress_chunk`\n[API reference][api-reference-decompress].\n\n### Decompress chunks on more precise constraints\n\nIf you want to use more precise matching constraints, for example space\npartitioning, you can construct a command like this:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/compression-on-continuous-aggregates/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT decompress_chunk('_timescaledb_internal.');\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT decompress_chunk(c, true)\n FROM show_chunks('table_name', older_than, newer_than) c;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT tableoid::regclass FROM metrics\n WHERE time = '2000-01-01' AND device_id = 1\n GROUP BY tableoid;\n\n tableoid\n------------------------------------------\n _timescaledb_internal._hyper_72_37_chunk\n```\n\n---\n\n## Designing your database for compression\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#designing-your-database-for-compression\n\n**Contents:**\n- Compressing data\n- Querying compressed data\n\nOld API since [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0) Replaced by hypercore.\n\nTime-series data can be unique, in that it needs to handle both shallow and wide\nqueries, such as \"What's happened across the deployment in the last 10 minutes,\"\nand deep and narrow, such as \"What is the average CPU usage for this server\nover the last 24 hours.\" Time-series data usually has a very high rate of\ninserts as well; hundreds of thousands of writes per second can be very normal\nfor a time-series dataset. Additionally, time-series data is often very\ngranular, and data is collected at a higher resolution than many other\ndatasets. This can result in terabytes of data being collected over time.\n\nAll this means that if you need great compression rates, you probably need to\nconsider the design of your database, before you start ingesting data. This\nsection covers some of the things you need to take into consideration when\ndesigning your database for maximum compression effectiveness.\n\nTimescaleDB is built on Postgres which is, by nature, a row-based database.\nBecause time-series data is accessed in order of time, when you enable\ncompression, TimescaleDB converts many wide rows of data into a single row of\ndata, called an array form. This means that each field of that new, wide row\nstores an ordered set of data comprising the entire column.\n\nFor example, if you had a table with data that looked a bit like this:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Status Code|Temperature|\n|-|-|-|-|\n|12:00:01|A|0|70.11|\n|12:00:01|B|0|69.70|\n|12:00:02|A|0|70.12|\n|12:00:02|B|0|69.69|\n|12:00:03|A|0|70.14|\n|12:00:03|B|4|69.70|\n\nYou can convert this to a single row in array form, like this:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Status Code|Temperature|\n|-|-|-|-|\n|[12:00:01, 12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:02, 12:00:03, 12:00:03]|[A, B, A, B, A, B]|[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4]|[70.11, 69.70, 70.12, 69.69, 70.14, 69.70]|\n\nEven before you compress any data, this format immediately saves storage by\nreducing the per-row overhead. Postgres typically adds a small number of bytes\nof overhead per row. So even without any compression, the schema in this example\nis now smaller on disk than the previous format.\n\nThis format arranges the data so that similar data, such as timestamps, device\nIDs, or temperature readings, is stored contiguously. This means that you can\nthen use type-specific compression algorithms to compress the data further, and\neach array is separately compressed. For more information about the compression\nmethods used, see the [compression methods section][compression-methods].\n\nWhen the data is in array format, you can perform queries that require a subset\nof the columns very quickly. For example, if you have a query like this one, that\nasks for the average temperature over the past day:\n\n now() - interval ‘1 day’\nORDER BY minute DESC\nGROUP BY minute;\n`} />\n\nThe query engine can fetch and decompress only the timestamp and temperature\ncolumns to efficiently compute and return these results.\n\nFinally, TimescaleDB uses non-inline disk pages to store the compressed arrays.\nThis means that the in-row data points to a secondary disk page that stores the\ncompressed array, and the actual row in the main table becomes very small,\nbecause it is now just pointers to the data. When data stored like this is\nqueried, only the compressed arrays for the required columns are read from disk,\nfurther improving performance by reducing disk reads and writes.\n\n## Querying compressed data\n\nIn the previous example, the database has no way of knowing which rows need to\nbe fetched and decompressed to resolve a query. For example, the database can't\neasily determine which rows contain data from the past day, as the timestamp\nitself is in a compressed column. You don't want to have to decompress all the\ndata in a chunk, or even an entire hypertable, to determine which rows are\nrequired.\n\nTimescaleDB automatically includes more information in the row and includes\nadditional groupings to improve query performance. When you compress a\nhypertable, either manually or through a compression policy, it can help to specify\nan `ORDER BY` column.\n\n`ORDER BY` columns specify how the rows that are part of a compressed batch are\nordered. For most time-series workloads, this is by timestamp, so if you don't\nspecify an `ORDER BY` column, TimescaleDB defaults to using the time column. You\ncan also specify additional dimensions, such as location.\n\nFor each `ORDER BY` column, TimescaleDB automatically creates additional columns\nthat store the minimum and maximum value of that column. This way, the query\nplanner can look at the range of timestamps in the compressed column, without\nhaving to do any decompression, and determine whether the row could possibly\nmatch the query.\n\nWhen you compress your hypertable, you can also choose to specify a `SEGMENT BY`\ncolumn. This allows you to segment compressed rows by a specific column, so that\neach compressed row corresponds to a data about a single item such as, for\nexample, a specific device ID. This further allows the query planner to\ndetermine if the row could possibly match the query without having to decompress\nthe column first. For example:\n\n|Device ID|Timestamp|Status Code|Temperature|Min Timestamp|Max Timestamp|\n|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n|A|[12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:03]|[0, 0, 0]|[70.11, 70.12, 70.14]|12:00:01|12:00:03|\n|B|[12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:03]|[0, 0, 4]|[69.70, 69.69, 69.70]|12:00:01|12:00:03|\n\nWith the data segmented in this way, a query for device A between a time\ninterval becomes quite fast. The query planner can use an index to find those\nrows for device A that contain at least some timestamps corresponding to the\nspecified interval, and even a sequential scan is quite fast since evaluating\ndevice IDs or timestamps does not require decompression. This means the\nquery executor only decompresses the timestamp and temperature columns\ncorresponding to those selected rows.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/compression-policy/ =====\n\n---\n\n## remove_compression_policy()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#remove_compression_policy()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Optional arguments\n\nOld API since [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0) Replaced by remove_columnstore_policy().\n\nIf you need to remove the compression policy.

Backward scanning queries are common in\ntime-series workloads. This means that these types of queries run much faster.\n\nDelta encoding reduces the amount of information required to represent a data\nobject by only storing the difference, sometimes referred to as the delta,\nbetween that object and one or more reference objects. These algorithms work\nbest where there is a lot of redundant information, and it is often used in\nworkloads like versioned file systems. For example, this is how Dropbox keeps\nyour files synchronized. Applying delta-encoding to time-series data means that\nyou can use fewer bytes to represent a data point, because you only need to\nstore the delta from the previous data point.\n\nFor example, imagine you had a dataset that collected CPU, free memory,\ntemperature, and humidity over time. If you time column was stored as an integer\nvalue, like seconds since UNIX epoch, your raw data would look a little like\nthis:\n\n|time|cpu|mem_free_bytes|temperature|humidity|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|2023-04-01 10:00:00|82|1,073,741,824|80|25|\n|2023-04-01 10:00:05|98|858,993,459|81|25|\n|2023-04-01 10:00:10|98|858,904,583|81|25|\n\nWith delta encoding, you only need to store how much each value changed from the\nprevious data point, resulting in smaller values to store. So after the first\nrow, you can represent subsequent rows with less information, like this:\n\n|time|cpu|mem_free_bytes|temperature|humidity|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|2023-04-01 10:00:00|82|1,073,741,824|80|25|\n|5 seconds|16|-214,748,365|1|0|\n|5 seconds|0|-88,876|0|0|\n\nApplying delta encoding to time-series data takes advantage of the fact that\nmost time-series datasets are not random, but instead represent something that\nis slowly changing over time. The storage savings over millions of rows can be\nsubstantial, especially if the value changes very little, or doesn't change at\nall.\n\n### Delta-of-delta encoding\n\nDelta-of-delta encoding takes delta encoding one step further and applies\ndelta-encoding over data that has previously been delta-encoded. With\ntime-series datasets where data collection happens at regular intervals, you can\napply delta-of-delta encoding to the time column, which results in only needing to\nstore a series of zeroes.\n\nIn other words, delta encoding stores the first derivative of the dataset, while\ndelta-of-delta encoding stores the second derivative of the dataset.\n\nApplied to the example dataset from earlier, delta-of-delta encoding results in this:\n\n|time|cpu|mem_free_bytes|temperature|humidity|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|2020-04-01 10:00:00|82|1,073,741,824|80|25|\n|5 seconds|16|-214,748,365|1|0|\n|0 seconds|0|-88,876|0|0|\n\nIn this example, delta-of-delta further compresses 5 seconds in the time column\ndown to 0 for every entry in the time column after the second row, because the\nfive second gap remains constant for each entry. Note that you see two entries\nin the table before the delta-delta 0 values, because you need two deltas to\ncompare.\n\nThis compresses a full timestamp of 8 bytes, or 64 bits, down to just a single\nbit, resulting in 64x compression.\n\nWith delta and delta-of-delta encoding, you can significantly reduce the number\nof digits you need to store. But you still need an efficient way to store the\nsmaller integers. The previous examples used a standard integer datatype for the\ntime column, which needs 64 bits to represent the value of 0 when delta-delta\nencoded. This means that even though you are only storing the integer 0, you are\nstill consuming 64 bits to store it, so you haven't actually saved anything.\n\nSimple-8b is one of the simplest and smallest methods of storing variable-length\nintegers. In this method, integers are stored as a series of fixed-size blocks.\nFor each block, every integer within the block is represented by the minimal\nbit-length needed to represent the largest integer in that block. The first bits\nof each block denotes the minimum bit-length for the block.\n\nThis technique has the advantage of only needing to store the length once for a\ngiven block, instead of once for each integer. Because the blocks are of a fixed\nsize, you can infer the number of integers in each block from the size of the\nintegers being stored.\n\nFor example, if you wanted to store a temperature that changed over time, and\nyou applied delta encoding, you might end up needing to store this set of\nintegers:\n\n|temperature (deltas)|\n|-|\n|1|\n|10|\n|11|\n|13|\n|9|\n|100|\n|22|\n|11|\n\nWith a block size of 10 digits, you could store this set of integers as two\nblocks: one block storing 5 2-digit numbers, and a second block storing 3\n3-digit numbers, like this:\n\n\n\nIn this example, both blocks store about 10 digits worth of data, even though\nsome of the numbers have to be padded with a leading 0. You might also notice\nthat the second block only stores 9 digits, because 10 is not evenly divisible\nby 3.\n\nSimple-8b works in this way, except it uses binary numbers instead of decimal,\nand it usually uses 64-bit blocks. In general, the longer the integer, the fewer\nnumber of integers that can be stored in each block.\n\n### Run-length encoding\n\nSimple-8b compresses integers very well, however, if you have a large number of\nrepeats of the same value, you can get even better compression with run-length\nencoding. This method works well for values that don't change very often, or if\nan earlier transformation removes the changes.\n\nRun-length encoding is one of the classic compression algorithms. For\ntime-series data with billions of contiguous zeroes, or even a document with a\nmillion identically repeated strings, run-length encoding works incredibly well.\n\nFor example, if you wanted to store a temperature that changed minimally over\ntime, and you applied delta encoding, you might end up needing to store this set\nof integers:\n\n|temperature (deltas)|\n|-|\n|11|\n|12|\n|12|\n|12|\n|12|\n|12|\n|12|\n|1|\n|12|\n|12|\n|12|\n|12|\n\nFor values like these, you do not need to store each instance of the value, but\nrather how long the run, or number of repeats, is. You can store this set of\nnumbers as `{run; value}` pairs like this:\n\n\n\nThis technique uses 11 digits of storage (1, 1, 1, 6, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 1, 2),\nrather than 23 digits that an optimal series of variable-length integers\nrequires (11, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 1, 12, 12, 12, 12).\n\nRun-length encoding is also used as a building block for many more advanced\nalgorithms, such as Simple-8b RLE, which is an algorithm that combines\nrun-length and Simple-8b techniques. TimescaleDB implements a variant of\nSimple-8b RLE. This variant uses different sizes to standard Simple-8b, in order\nto handle 64-bit values, and RLE.\n\n## Floating point compression\n\nFor columns that do not have a high amount of repeated values, TimescaleDB uses\nXOR-based compression.\n\nThe standard XOR-based compression method has been extended so that data can be\ndecompressed in reverse order. Backward scanning queries are common in\ntime-series workloads. This means that queries that use backwards scans run much\nfaster.\n\n### XOR-based compression\n\nFloating point numbers are usually more difficult to compress than integers.\nFixed-length integers often have leading zeroes, but floating point numbers usually\nuse all of their available bits, especially if they are converted from decimal\nnumbers, which can't be represented precisely in binary.\n\nTechniques like delta-encoding don't work well for floats, because they do not\nreduce the number of bits sufficiently. This means that most floating-point\ncompression algorithms tend to be either complex and slow, or truncate\nsignificant digits. One of the few simple and fast lossless floating-point\ncompression algorithms is XOR-based compression, built on top of Facebook's\nGorilla compression.\n\nXOR is the binary function `exclusive or`. In this algorithm, successive\nfloating point numbers are compared with XOR, and a difference results in a bit\nbeing stored. The first data point is stored without compression, and subsequent\ndata points are represented using their XOR'd values.\n\n## Data-agnostic compression\n\nFor values that are not integers or floating point, TimescaleDB uses dictionary\ncompression.\n\n### Dictionary compression\n\nOne of the earliest lossless compression algorithms, dictionary compression is\nthe basis of many popular compression methods. Dictionary compression can also\nbe found in areas outside of computer science, such as medical coding.\n\nInstead of storing values directly, dictionary compression works by making a\nlist of the possible values that can appear, and then storing an index into a\ndictionary containing the unique values. This technique is quite versatile, can\nbe used regardless of data type, and works especially well when you have a\nlimited set of values that repeat frequently.\n\nFor example, if you had the list of temperatures shown earlier, but you wanted\nan additional column storing a city location for each measurement, you might\nhave a set of values like this:\n\n|City|\n|-|\n|New York|\n|San Francisco|\n|San Francisco|\n|Los Angeles|\n\nInstead of storing all the city names directly, you can instead store a\ndictionary, like this:\n\n\n\nYou can then store just the indices in your column, like this:\n\n|City|\n|-|\n|0|\n|1|\n|1|\n|2|\n\nFor a dataset with a lot of repetition, this can offer significant compression.\nIn the example, each city name is on average 11 bytes in length, while the\nindices are never going to be more than 4 bytes long, reducing space usage\nnearly 3 times. In TimescaleDB, the list of indices is compressed even further\nwith the Simple-8b+RLE method, making the storage cost even smaller.\n\nDictionary compression doesn't always result in savings. If your dataset doesn't\nhave a lot of repeated values, then the dictionary is the same size as the\noriginal data. TimescaleDB automatically detects this case, and falls back to\nnot using a dictionary in that scenario.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/modify-a-schema/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Changelog\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#changelog\n\n**Contents:**\n- TimescaleDB 2.22.1 – configurable indexing, enhanced partitioning, and faster queries\n - Highlighted features\n - Deprecations\n- Kafka Source Connector (beta)\n- Phased update rollouts, `pg_cron`, larger compute options, and backup reports\n - 🛡️ Phased rollouts for TimescaleDB minor releases\n - ⏰ pg_cron extension\n - ⚡️ Larger compute options: 48 and 64 CPU\n - 📋 Backup report for compliance\n - 🗺️ New router for Tiger Cloud Console\n\nAll the latest features and updates to Tiger Cloud.\n\n## TimescaleDB 2.22.1 – configurable indexing, enhanced partitioning, and faster queries\n\n\n[TimescaleDB 2.22.1](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases) introduces major performance and flexibility improvements across indexing, compression, and query execution. TimescaleDB 2.22.1 was released on September 30th and is now available to all users of Tiger.\n\n### Highlighted features\n\n* **Configurable sparse indexes:** manually configure sparse indexes (min-max or bloom) on one or more columns of compressed hypertables, optimizing query performance for specific workloads and reducing I/O. In previous versions, these were automatically created based on heuristics and could not be modified.\n\n* **UUIDv7 support:** native support for UUIDv7 for both compression and partitioning. UUIDv7 embeds a time component, improving insert locality and enabling efficient time-based range queries while maintaining global uniqueness.\n\n* **Vectorized UUID compression:** new vectorized compression for UUIDv7 columns doubles query performance and improves storage efficiency by up to 30%.\n\n* **UUIDv7 partitioning:** hypertables can now be partitioned on UUIDv7 columns, combining time-based chunking with globally unique IDs—ideal for large-scale event and log data.\n\n* **Multi-column SkipScan:** expands SkipScan to support multiple distinct keys, delivering millisecond-fast deduplication and `DISTINCT ON` queries across billions of rows. Learn more in our [blog post](https://www.tigerdata.com/blog/skipscan-in-timescaledb-why-distinct-was-slow-how-we-built-it-and-how-you-can-use-it) and [documentation](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/query-data/skipscan/).\n* **Compression improvements:** default `segmentby` and `orderby` settings are now applied at compression time for each chunk, automatically adapting to evolving data patterns for better performance. This was previously set at the hypertable level and fixed across all chunks.\n\nThe experimental Hypercore Table Access Method (TAM) has been removed in this release following advancements in the columnstore architecture.\n\nFor a comprehensive list of changes, refer to the TimescaleDB [2.22](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.22.0) & [2.22.1](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.22.1) release notes.\n\n## Kafka Source Connector (beta)\n\n\nThe new [Kafka Source Connector](https://docs.tigerdata.com/migrate/latest/livesync-for-kafka/) enables you to connect your existing Kafka clusters directly to Tiger Cloud and ingest data from Kafka topics into hypertables. Developers often build proxies or run JDBC Sink Connectors to bridge Kafka and Tiger Cloud, which is error-prone and time-consuming. With the Kafka Source Connector, you can seamlessly start ingesting your Kafka data natively without additional middleware.\n\n- Supported formats: AVRO\n- Supported platforms: Confluent Cloud and Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka\n\n![Kafka source connector in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/kafka-source-connector-tiger-data.png)\n\n![Kafka source connector streaming in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/kafka-source-connector-streaming.png)\n\n## Phased update rollouts, `pg_cron`, larger compute options, and backup reports\n\n\n### 🛡️ Phased rollouts for TimescaleDB minor releases\n\nStarting with TimescaleDB 2.22.0, minor releases will now roll out in phases. Services tagged `#dev` will get upgraded first, followed by `#prod` after 21 days. This gives you time to validate upgrades in `#dev` before they reach `#prod` services. [Subscribe](https://status.timescale.com/?__hstc=231067136.cc62bfc44030d30e3b1c3d1bc78c9cab.1750169693582.1757669826871.1757685085606.116&__hssc=231067136.4.1757685085606&__hsfp=2801608430) to get an email notification before your `#prod` service is upgraded. See [Maintenance and upgrades](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/upgrades/) for details.\n\n### ⏰ pg_cron extension\n\n`pg_cron` is now available on Tiger Cloud! With `pg_cron`, you can:\n- Schedule SQL commands to run automatically—like generating weekly sales reports or cleaning up old log entries every night at 2 AM.\n- Automate routine maintenance tasks such as refreshing materialized views hourly to keep dashboards current.\n- Eliminate external cron jobs and task schedulers, keeping all your automation logic within PostgreSQL.\n\nTo enable `pg_cron` on your service, contact our support team. We're working on making this self-service in future updates.\n\n### ⚡️ Larger compute options: 48 and 64 CPU\n\nFor the most demanding workloads, you can now create services with 48 and 64 CPUs. These options are only available on our Enterprise plan, and they're dedicated instances that are not shared with other customers.\n\n![CPU options in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-cloud-cpu-options.png)\n\n### 📋 Backup report for compliance\n\nScale and Enterprise customers can now see a list of their backups in Tiger Cloud Console. For customers with SOC 2 or other compliance needs, this serves as auditable proof of backups.\n\n![Backup reports in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/backup-history-tiger-cloud.png)\n\n### 🗺️ New router for Tiger Cloud Console\n\nThe UI just got snappier and easier to navigate with improved interlinking. For example, click an object in the `Jobs` page to see what hypertable the job is associated with.\n\n## New data import wizard\n\n\nTo make navigation easier, we’ve introduced a cleaner, more intuitive UI for data import. It highlights the most common and recommended option, PostgreSQL Dump & Restore, while organizing all import options into clear categories, to make navigation easier.\n\nThe new categories include:\n- **PostgreSQL Dump & Restore**\n- **Upload Files**: CSV, Parquet, TXT\n- **Real-time Data Replication**: source connectors\n- **Migrations & Other Options**\n\n![Data import in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/data-import-wizard-in-tiger-cloud.png)\n\nA new data import component has been added to the overview dashboard, providing a clear view of your imports. This includes quick start, in-progress status, and completed imports:\n\n![Overview dashboard in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/service-dashboard-tiger-cloud.png)\n\n## 🚁 Enhancements to the Postgres source connector\n\n\n- **Easy table selection**: You can now sync the complete source schema in one go. Select multiple tables from the\n drop-down menu and start the connector.\n- **Sync metadata**: Connectors now display the following detailed metadata:\n - `Initial data copy`: The number of rows copied at any given point in time.\n - `Change data capture`: The replication lag represented in time and data size.\n- **Improved UX design**: In-progress syncs with separate sections showing the tables and metadata for\n `initial data copy` and `change data capture`, plus a dedicated tab where you can add more tables to the connector.\n\n![Connectors UX](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/connectors-new-ui.png)\n\n## 🦋 Developer role GA and hypertable transformation in Console\n\n\n### Developer role (GA)\n\nThe [Developer role in Tiger Cloud](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/security/members/) is now\ngenerally available. It’s a project‑scoped permission set that lets technical users build and\noperate services, create or modify resources, run queries, and use observability—without admin or billing access.\nThis enforces least‑privilege by default, reducing risk and audit noise, while keeping governance with Admins/Owners and\nbilling with Finance. This means faster delivery (fewer access escalations), protected sensitive settings,\nand clear boundaries, so the right users can ship changes safely, while compliance and cost control remain intact.\n\n### Transform a table to a hypertable from the Explorer\n\nIn Console, you can now easily create hypertables from your regular Postgres tables directly from the Explorer.\nClicking on any Postgres table shows an option to open up the hypertable action. Follow the simple steps to set up your\npartition key and transform the table to a hypertable.\n\n![Transform a table to a hypertable](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/table_to_hypertable_1.png)\n\n![Transform a table to a hypertable](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/table_to_hypertable_2.png)\n\n## Cross-region backups, Postgres options, and onboarding\n\n\n### Cross-region backups\n\nYou can now store backups in a different region than your service, which improves resilience and helps meet enterprise compliance requirements. Cross‑region backups are available on our Enterprise plan for free at launch; usage‑based billing may be introduced later. For full details, please [see the docs](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/backup-restore/#enable-cross-region-backup).\n\n### Standard Postgres instructions for onboarding\nWe have added basic instructions for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE commands to the Tiger Cloud console. It's now shown as an option in the Import Data page.\n\n### Postgres-only service type\nIn Tiger Cloud, you now have an option to choose Postgres-only in the service creation flow. Just click `Looking for plan PostgreSQL?` on the `Service Type` screen.\n\n## Viewer role GA, EXPLAIN plans, and chunk index sizes in Explorer\n\n\n### GA release of the viewer role in role-based access\n\nThe viewer role is now **generally available** for all projects and\norganizations. It provides **read-only access** to services, metrics, and logs\nwithout modify permissions. Viewers **cannot** create, update, or delete\nresources, nor manage users or billing. It's ideal for auditors, analysts, and\ncross-functional collaborators who need visibility but not control.\n\n### EXPLAIN plans in Insights\n\nYou can now find automatically generated EXPLAIN plans on queries that take\nlonger than 10 seconds within Insights. EXPLAIN plans can be very useful to\ndetermine how you may be able to increase the performance of your queries.\n\n### Chunk index size in Explorer\n\nFind the index size of hypertable chunks in the Explorer.\nThis information can be very valuable to determine if a hypertable's chunk size\nis properly configured.\n\n## TimescaleDB v2.21 and catalog objects in the Console Explorer\n\n\n### 🏎️ TimescaleDB v2.21—ingest millions of rows/second and faster columnstore UPSERTs and DELETEs\n\nTimescaleDB v2.21 was released on July 8 and is now available to all developers on Tiger Cloud.\n\nHighlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.21 include:\n- **High-scale ingestion performance (tech preview)**: introducing a new approach that compresses data directly into the columnstore during ingestion, demonstrating over 1.2M rows/second in tests with bursts over 50M rows/second. We are actively seeking design partners for this feature.\n- **Faster data updates (UPSERTs)**: columnstore UPSERTs are now 2.5x faster for heavily constrained tables, building on the 10x improvement from v2.20.\n- **Faster data deletion**: DELETE operations on non-segmentby columns are 42x faster, reducing I/O and bloat.\n- **Reduced bloat after recompression**: optimized recompression processes lead to less bloat and more efficient storage.\n- **Enhanced continuous aggregates**:\n - Concurrent refresh policies enable multiple continuous aggregates to update concurrently.\n - Batched refreshes are now enabled by default for more efficient processing.\n- **Complete chunk management**: full support for splitting columnstore chunks, complementing the existing merge capabilities.\n\nFor a comprehensive list of changes, refer to the [TimescaleDB v2.21 release notes](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.21.0).\n\n### 🔬 Catalog objects available in the Console Explorer\n\nYou can now view catalog objects in the Console Explorer. Check out the internal schemas for PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB to better understand the inner workings of your database. To turn on/off visibility, select your service in Tiger Cloud Console, then click `Explorer` and toggle `Show catalog objects`.\n\n![Explore catalog objects](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-cloud-explorer-catalog-objects.png)\n\n## Iceberg Destination Connector (Tiger Lake)\n\n\nWe have released a beta Iceberg destination connector that enables Scale and Enterprise users to integrate Tiger Cloud services with Amazon S3 tables. This enables you to connect Tiger Cloud to data lakes seamlessly. We are actively developing several improvements that will make the overall data lake integration process even smoother.\n\nTo use this feature, select your service in Tiger Cloud Console, then navigate to `Connectors` and select the `Amazon S3 Tables` destination connector. Integrate the connector to your S3 table bucket by providing the ARN roles, then simply select the tables that you want to sync into S3 tables. See the [documentation](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/tigerlake/) for details.\n\n## 🔆Console just got better\n\n\n### ✏️ Editable jobs in Console\n\nYou can now edit jobs directly in Console! We've added the handy pencil icon in the top right corner of any\njob view. Click a job, hit the edit button, then make your changes. This works for all jobs, even user-defined ones.\nTiger Cloud jobs come with custom wizards to guide you through the right inputs. This means you can spot and fix\nissues without leaving the UI - a small change that makes a big difference!\n\n![Edit jobs in console](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/console-jobs-edit.png)\n\n### 📊 Connection history\n\nNow you can see your historical connection counts right in the Connections tab! This helps spot those pesky connection\nmanagement bugs before they impact your app. We're logging max connections every hour (sampled every 5 mins) and might\nadjust based on your feedback. Just another way we're making the Console more powerful for troubleshooting.\n\n![View connection history in console](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/console-connection-history.png)\n\n### 🔐 New in Public Beta: Read-Only Access through RBAC\n\nWe’ve just launched Read/Viewer-only access for Tiger Cloud projects into public beta!\n\nYou can now invite users with view-only permissions — perfect for folks who need to see dashboards, metrics,\nand query results, without the ability to make changes.\n\nThis has been one of our most requested RBAC features, and it's a big step forward in making Tiger Cloud more secure and\ncollaborative.\n\nNo write access. No config changes. Just visibility.\n\nIn Console, Go to `Project Settings` > `Users & Roles` to try it out, and let us know what you think!\n\n## 👀 Super useful doc updates\n\n\n### Updates to instructions for livesync\n\nIn the Console UI, we have clarified the step-by-step procedure for setting up your livesync from self-hosted installations by:\n- Adding definitions for some flags when running your Docker container.\n- Including more detailed examples of the output from the table synchronization list.\n\n### New optional argument for add_continuous_aggregate_policy API\n\nAdded the new `refresh_newest_first` optional argument that controls the order of incremental refreshes.\n\n## 🚀 Multi-command queries in SQL editor, improved job page experience, multiple AWS Transit Gateways, and a new service creation flow\n\n\n### Run multiple statements in SQL editor\nExecute complex queries with multiple commands in a single run—perfect for data transformations, table setup, and batch operations.\n\n### Branch conversations in SQL assistant\nStart new discussion threads from any point in your SQL assistant chat to explore different approaches to your data questions more easily.\n\n### Smarter results table\n- Expand JSON data instantly: turn complex JSON objects into readable columns with one click—no more digging through nested data structures.\n- Filter with precision: use a new smart filter to pick exactly what you want from a dropdown of all available values.\n\n### Jobs page improvements\nIndividual job pages now display their corresponding configuration for TimescaleDB job types—for example, columnstore, retention, CAgg refreshes, tiering, and others.\n\n### Multiple AWS Transit Gateways\n\nYou can now connect multiple AWS Transit Gateways, when those gateways use overlapping CIDRs. Ideal for teams with zero-trust policies, this lets you keep each network path isolated.\n\nHow it works: when you create a new peering connection, Tiger Cloud reuses the existing Transit Gateway if you supply the same ID—otherwise it automatically creates a new, isolated Transit Gateway.\n\n### Updated service creation flow\n\nThe new service creation flow makes the choice of service type clearer. You can now create distinct types with Postgres extensions for real-time analytics (TimescaleDB), AI (pgvectorscale, pgai), and RTA/AI hybrid applications.\n\n![Create a Tiger Cloud service](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/create-tiger-cloud-service.png)\n\n## ⚙️ Improved Terraform support and TimescaleDB v2.20.3\n\n\n### Terraform support for Exporters and AWS Transit Gateway\n\nThe latest version of the Timescale Terraform provider (2.3.0) adds support for:\n- Creating and attaching observability exporters to your services.\n- Securing the connections to your Timescale Cloud services with AWS Transit Gateway.\n- Configuring CIDRs for VPC and AWS Transit Gateway connections.\n\nCheck the [Timescale Terraform provider documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/timescale/timescale/latest/docs) for more details.\n\n### TimescaleDB v2.20.3\n\nThis patch release for TimescaleDB v2.20 includes several bug fixes and minor improvements.\nNotable bug fixes include:\n- Adjustments to SkipScan costing for queries that require a full scan of indexed data.\n- A fix for issues encountered during dump and restore operations when chunk skipping is enabled.\n- Resolution of a bug related to dropped \"quals\" (qualifications/conditions) in SkipScan.\n\nFor a comprehensive list of changes, refer to the [TimescaleDB 2.20.3 release notes](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.20.3).\n\n## 🧘 Read replica sets, faster tables, new anthropic models, and VPC support in data mode\n\n\n### Horizontal read scaling with read replica sets\n\n[Read replica sets](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/ha-replicas/read-scaling/) are an improved version of read replicas. They let you scale reads horizontally by creating up to 10 replica nodes behind a single read endpoint. Just point your read queries to the endpoint and configure the number of replicas you need without changing your application logic. You can increase or decrease the number of replicas in the set dynamically, with no impact on the endpoint.\n\nRead replica sets are used to:\n\n- Scale reads for read-heavy workloads and dashboards.\n- Isolate internal analytics and reporting from customer-facing applications.\n- Provide high availability and fault tolerance for read traffic.\n\nAll existing read replicas have been automatically upgraded to a replica set with one node—no action required. Billing remains the same.\n\nRead replica sets are available for all Scale and Enterprise customers.\n\n![Create a read replica set in Timescale Console](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/create-read-replica-set-timescale-console.png)\n\n### Faster, smarter results tables in data mode\n\nWe've completely rebuilt how query results are displayed in the data mode to give you a faster, more powerful way to work with your data. The new results table can handle millions of rows with smooth scrolling and instant responses when you sort, filter, or format your data. You'll find it today in notebooks and presentation pages, with more areas coming soon.\n\n- **Your settings stick around**: when you customize how your table looks—applying filters, sorting columns, or formatting data—those settings are automatically saved. Switch to another tab and come back, and everything stays exactly how you left it.\n- **Better ways to find what you need**: filter your results by any column value, with search terms highlighted so you can quickly spot what you're looking for. The search box is now available everywhere you work with data.\n- **Export exactly what you want**: download your entire table or just select the specific rows and columns you need. Both CSV and Excel formats are supported.\n- **See patterns in your data**: highlight cells based on their values to quickly spot trends, outliers, or important thresholds in your results.\n- **Smoother navigation**: click any row number to see the full details in an expanded view. Columns automatically resize to show your data clearly, and web links in your results are now clickable.\n\nAs a result, working with large datasets is now faster and more intuitive. Whether you're exploring millions of rows or sharing results with your team, the new table keeps up with how you actually work with data.\n\n### Latest anthropic models added to SQL assistant\n\nData mode's [SQL assistant](https://docs.timescale.com/getting-started/latest/run-queries-from-console/#sql-assistant) now supports Anthropic's latest models:\n\n- Sonnet 4\n- Sonnet 4 (extended thinking)\n- Opus 4\n- Opus 4 (extended thinking)\n\n### VPC support for passwordless data mode connections\n\nWe previously made it much easier to connect newly created services to Timescale’s [data mode](https://docs.timescale.com/getting-started/latest/run-queries-from-console/#data-mode). We have now expanded this functionality to services using a VPC.\n\n## 🕵🏻️ Enhanced service monitoring, TimescaleDB v2.20, and livesync for Postgres\n\n\n### Updated top-level navigation - Monitoring tab\n\nIn Timescale Console, we have consolidated multiple top-level service information tabs into the single Monitoring tab.\nThis tab houses information previously displayed in the Recommendations, Jobs, Connections, Metrics, Logs,\nand `Insights` tabs.\n\n![Insights](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/insights_overview_timescale.png)\n\n### Monitor active connections\n\nIn the `Connections` section under `Monitoring`, you can now see information like the query being run, the application\nname, and duration for all current connections to a service.\n\n![Connections](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/console-monitoring-connections.png)\n\nThe information in `Connections` enables you to debug misconfigured applications, or\ncancel problematic queries to free up other connections to your database.\n\n### TimescaleDB v2.20 - query performance and faster data updates\n\nAll new services created on Timescale Cloud are created using\n[TimescaleDB v2.20](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.20.0). Existing services will be\nautomatically upgraded during their maintenance window.\n\nHighlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.20 include:\n* Efficiently handle data updates and upserts (including backfills, that are now up to 10x faster).\n* Up to 6x faster point queries on high-cardinality columns using new bloom filters.\n* Up to 2500x faster DISTINCT operations with SkipScan, perfect for quickly getting a unique list or the latest reading\n from any device, event, or transaction.\n* 8x more efficient Boolean column storage with vectorized processing, resulting in 30-45% faster queries.\n* Enhanced developer flexibility with continuous aggregates now supporting window and mutable functions, plus\n customizable refresh orders.\n\n### Postgres 13 and 14 deprecated on Tiger Cloud\n\n[TimescaleDB version 2.20](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.20.0) is not compatible with Postgres versions v14 and below.\nTimescaleDB 2.19.3 is the last bug-fix release for Postgres 14. Future fixes are for\nPostgres 15+ only. To continue receiving critical fixes and security patches, and to take\nadvantage of the latest TimescaleDB features, you must upgrade to Postgres 15 or newer.\nThis deprecation affects all Tiger Cloud services currently running Postgres 13 or\nPostgres 14.\n\nThe timeline for the Postgres 13 and 14 deprecation is as follows:\n\n- **Deprecation notice period begins**: starting in early June 2025, you will receive email communication.\n- **Customer self-service upgrade window**: June 2025 through September 14, 2025. We strongly encourage you to\n [manually upgrade Postgres](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/upgrades/#manually-upgrade-postgresql-for-a-service)\n during this period.\n- **Automatic upgrade deadline**: your service will be\n [automatically upgraded](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/upgrades/#automatic-postgresql-upgrades-for-a-service)\n from September 15, 2025.\n\n### Enhancements to livesync for Postgres\n\nYou now can:\n* Edit a running livesync to add and drop tables from an existing configuration:\n - For existing tables, Timescale Console stops the livesync while keeping the target table intact.\n - Newly added tables sync their existing data and transition into the Change Data Capture (CDC) state.\n* Create multiple livesync instances for Postgres per service. This is an upgrade from our initial launch which\n limited users to one LiveSync per service.\n\nThis enables you to sync data from multiple Postgres source databases into a single Timescale Cloud service.\n* No more hassle looking up schema and table names for livesync configuration from the source. Starting today, all\n schema and table names are available in a dropdown menu for seamless source table selection.\n\n## ➕ More storage types and IOPS\n\n\n### 🚀 Enhanced storage: scale to 64 TB and 32,000 IOPS\n\nWe're excited to introduce enhanced storage, a new storage type in Timescale Cloud that significantly boosts both capacity and performance. Designed for customers with mission-critical workloads.\n\nWith enhanced storage, Timescale Cloud now supports:\n- Up to 64 TB of storage per Timescale Cloud service (4x increase from the previous limit)\n- Up to 32,000 IOPS, enabling high-throughput ingest and low-latency queries\n\nPowered by AWS io2 volumes, enhanced storage gives your workloads the headroom they need—whether you're building financial data pipelines, developing IoT platforms, or processing billions of rows of telemetry. No more worrying about storage ceilings or IOPS bottlenecks.\nEnable enhanced storage in Timescale Console under `Operations` → `Compute & Storage`. Enhanced storage is currently available on the Enterprise pricing plan only. [Learn more here](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/data-tiering/enabling-data-tiering/).\n\n![I/O boost in Timescale Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/io-boost-timescale-cloud.png)\n\n## ↔️ New export and import options\n\n\n### 🔥 Ship TimescaleDB metrics to Prometheus\n\nWe’re excited to release the Prometheus Exporter for Timescale Cloud, making it easy to ship TimescaleDB metrics to your Prometheus instance.\nWith the Prometheus Exporter, you can:\n\n- Export TimescaleDB metrics like CPU, memory, and storage\n- Visualize usage trends with your own Grafana dashboards\n- Set alerts for high CPU load, low memory, or storage nearing capacity\n\nTo get started, create a Prometheus Exporter in the Timescale Console, attach it to your service, and configure Prometheus to scrape from the exposed URL. Metrics are secured with basic auth.\nAvailable on Scale and Enterprise plans. [Learn more here](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/metrics-logging/metrics-to-prometheus/).\n\n![Prometheus export user interface](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/timescale-create-prometheus-exporter.png)\n\n### 📥 Import text files into Postgres tables\nOur import options in Timescale Console have expanded to include local text files. You can add the content of multiple text files (one file per row) into a Postgres table for use with Vectorizers while creating embeddings for evaluation and development. This new option is located in Service > Actions > Import Data.\n\n## 🤖 Automatic document embeddings from S3 and a sample dataset for AI testing\n\n\n### Automatic document embeddings from S3\n\npgai vectorizer now supports automatic document vectorization. This makes it dramatically easier to build RAG and semantic search applications on top of unstructured data stored in Amazon S3. With just a SQL command, developers can create, update, and synchronize vector embeddings from a wide range of document formats—including PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, and more—without building or maintaining complex ETL pipelines.\n\nInstead of juggling multiple systems and syncing metadata, vectorizer handles the entire process: downloading documents from S3, parsing them, chunking text, and generating vector embeddings stored right in Postgres using pgvector. As documents change, embeddings stay up-to-date automatically—keeping your Postgres database the single source of truth for both structured and semantic data.\n\n![create a vectorizer](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/console-create-a-vectorizer.png )\n\n### Sample dataset for AI testing\n\nYou can now import a dataset directly from Hugging Face using Timescale Console. This dataset is ideal for testing vectorizers, you find it in the Import Data page under the Service > Actions tab.\n\n![hugging face sample data](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/console-import-huggingface-data.png)\n\n## 🔁 Livesync for S3 and passwordless connections for data mode\n\n\n### Livesync for S3 (beta)\n\n[Livesync for S3](https://docs.timescale.com/migrate/latest/livesync-for-s3/) is our second livesync offering in\nTimescale Console, following livesync for Postgres. This feature helps users sync data in their S3 buckets to a\nTimescale Cloud service, and simplifies data importing. Livesync handles both existing and new data in real time,\nautomatically syncing everything into a Timescale Cloud service. Users can integrate Timescale Cloud alongside S3, where\nS3 stores data in raw form as the source for multiple destinations.\n\n![Timescale Console new livesync](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/livesync-s3-start-new-livesync.png)\n\nWith livesync, users can connect Timescale Cloud with S3 in minutes, rather than spending days setting up and maintaining\nan ingestion layer.\n\n![Timescale Console livesync view status](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/livesync-s3-view-status.png)\n\n### UX improvements to livesync for Postgres\n\nIn [livesync for Postgres](https://docs.timescale.com/migrate/latest/livesync-for-postgresql/), getting started\nrequires setting the `WAL_LEVEL` to `logical`, and granting specific permissions to start a publication\non the source database. To simplify this setup process, we have added a detailed two-step checklist with comprehensive\nconfiguration instructions to Timescale Console.\n\n![Timescale Console livesync Postgres instructions](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/livesync-postgres-console-config-instuctions.png)\n\n### Passwordless data mode connections\n\nWe’ve made connecting to your Timescale Cloud services from [data mode](https://docs.timescale.com/getting-started/latest/run-queries-from-console/#connect-to-your-timescale-cloud-service-in-the-data-mode)\nin Timescale Console even easier! All new services created in Timescale Cloud are now automatically accessible from\ndata mode without requiring you to enter your service credentials.

This feature is ideal for developers who manage multiple Postgres and time-series instances and need quick, easy access to data across databases.\n\n### Faster queries over tiered data\nThis release adds support for runtime chunk exclusion for queries that need to access [tiered storage](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/data-tiering/). Chunk exclusion now works with queries that use stable expressions in the `WHERE` clause. The most common form of this type of query is:\n\nFor more info on queries with immutable/stable/volatile filters, check our blog post on [Implementing constraint exclusion for faster query performance](https://www.timescale.com/blog/implementing-constraint-exclusion-for-faster-query-performance/).\n\nIf you no longer want to use tiered storage for a particular hypertable, you can now disable tiering and drop the associated tiering metadata on the hypertable with a call to [disable_tiering function](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/data-tiering/enabling-data-tiering/#disable-tiering).\n\n### Chunk interval recommendations\nTimescale Console now shows recommendations for services with too many small chunks in their hypertables.\nRecommendations for new intervals that improve service performance are displayed for each underperforming service and hypertable. Users can then change their chunk interval and boost performance within Timescale Console.\n\n![Chunk interval recommendation](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/chunk-interval-recommendation.png)\n\n## 💡 Help with hypertables and faster notebooks\n\n\n### 🧙Hypertable creation wizard\nAfter creating a service, users can now create a hypertable directly in Timescale Console by first creating a table, then converting it into a hypertable. This is possible using the in-console SQL editor. All standard hypertable configuration options are supported, along with any customization of the underlying table schema.\n![Hypertable creation wizard: image 1](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable-creation-wizard-1.png)\n\n### 🍭 PopSQL Notebooks\nThe newest version of Data Mode Notebooks is now waaaay faster. Why? We've incorporated the newly developed v3 of our query engine that currently powers Timescale Console's SQL Editor. Check out the difference in query response times.\n\n## ✨ Production-Ready Low-Downtime Migrations, MySQL Import, Actions Tab, and Current Lock Contention Visibility in SQL Editor\n\n\n### 🏗️ Live Migrations v1.0 Release\n\nLast year, we began developing a solution for low-downtime migration from Postgres and TimescaleDB. Since then, this solution has evolved significantly, featuring enhanced functionality, improved reliability, and performance optimizations. We're now proud to announce that **live migration is production-ready** with the release of version 1.0.\n\nMany of our customers have successfully migrated databases to Timescale using [live migration](https://docs.timescale.com/migrate/latest/live-migration/), with some databases as large as a few terabytes in size.\n\nAs part of the service creation flow, we offer the following:\n\n- Connect to services from different sources\n- Import and migrate data from various sources\n- Create hypertables\n\nPreviously, these actions were only visible during the service creation process and couldn't be accessed later. Now, these actions are **persisted within the service**, allowing users to leverage them on-demand whenever they're ready to perform these tasks.\n\n![Timescale Console Actions tab](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/timescale-console-actions-tab.png)\n\n### 🧭 Import Data from MySQL\n\nWe've noticed users struggling to convert their MySQL schema and data into their Timescale Cloud services. This was due to the semantic differences between MySQL and Postgres. To simplify this process, we now offer **easy-to-follow instructions** to import data from MySQL to Timescale Cloud. This feature is available as part of the data import wizard, under the **Import from MySQL** option.\n\n![MySQL import instructions](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/mysql-import-instructions.png)\n\n### 🔐 Current Lock Contention\n\nIn Timescale Console, we offer the SQL editor so you can directly querying your service. As a new improvement, **if a query is waiting on locks and can't complete execution**, Timescale Console now displays the current lock contention in the results section .\n\n![View console services](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/current-lock-contention.png)\n\n## CIDR & VPC Updates\n\n\n\nTimescale now supports multiple CIDRs on the customer VPC. Customers who want to take advantage of multiple CIDRs will need to recreate their peering.\n\n## 🤝 New modes in Timescale Console: Ops and Data mode, and Console based Parquet File Import\n\n\n\nWe've been listening to your feedback and noticed that Timescale Console users have diverse needs. Some of you are focused on operational tasks like adding replicas or changing parameters, while others are diving deep into data analysis to gather insights.\n\n**To better serve you, we've introduced new modes to the Timescale Console UI—tailoring the experience based on what you're trying to accomplish.**\n\nOps mode is where you can manage your services, add replicas, configure compression, change parameters, and so on.\n\nData mode is the full PopSQL experience: write queries with autocomplete, visualize data with charts and dashboards, schedule queries and dashboards to create alerts or recurring reports, share queries and dashboards, and more.\n\nTry it today and let us know what you think!\n\n![Timescale Console Ops and Data mode](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/ops-data-mode.gif)\n\n## Console based Parquet File Import\n\nNow users can upload from Parquet to Timescale Cloud by uploading the file from their local file system. For files larger than 250 MB, or if you want to do it yourself, follow the three-step process to upload Parquet files to Timescale.\n\n![Upload from Parquet to Timescale Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/upload_parquet.gif)\n\n### SQL editor improvements\n\n* In the Ops mode SQL editor, you can now highlight a statement to run a specific statement.\n\n## High availability, usability, and migrations improvements\n\n\n### Multiple HA replicas\n\nScale and Enterprise customers can now configure two new multiple high availability (HA) replica options directly through Timescale Console:\n\n* Two HA replicas (both asynchronous) - our highest availability configuration.\n* Two HA replicas (one asynchronous, one synchronous) - our highest data integrity configuration.\n\nPreviously, Timescale offered only a single synchronous replica for customers seeking high availability. The single HA option is still available.\n\n![Change Replica Configuration](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/change-replica-configuration.png)\n\n![High Availability](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/high-availability.png)\n\nFor more details on multiple HA replicas, see [Manage high availability](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/ha-replicas/high-availability/).\n\n### Other improvements\n\n* In the Console SQL editor, we now indicate if your database session is healthy or has been disconnected. If it's been disconnected, the session will reconnect on your next query execution.\n\n![Session Status Indicator](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/session-status-indicator.gif)\n\n* Released live-migration v0.0.26 and then v0.0.27 which includes multiple performance improvements and bugfixes as well as better support for Postgres 12.\n\n## One-click SQL statement execution from Timescale Console, and session support in the SQL editor\n\n\n### One-click SQL statement execution from Timescale Console\n\nNow you can simply click to run SQL statements in various places in the Console. This requires that the [SQL Editor][sql-editor] is enabled for the service.\n\n* Enable Continuous Aggregates from the CAGGs wizard by clicking **Run** below the SQL statement.\n![Enable Continuous Aggregates](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/enable-continuous-aggregates.gif)\n\n* Enable database extensions by clicking **Run** below the SQL statement.\n![Enable extensions from Console](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/enable-extensions-from-console.gif)\n\n* Query data instantly with a single click in the Console after successfully uploading a CSV file.\n![Query data after CSV import](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/query-data-after-csv-import.gif)\n\n### Session support in the SQL editor\n\nLast week we announced the new in-console SQL editor. However, there was a limitation where a new database session was created for each query execution.\n\nToday we removed that limitation and added support for keeping one database session for each user logged in, which means you can do things like start transactions:\n\nOr work with temporary tables:\n\nOr use the `set` command:\n\n## 😎 Query your database directly from the Console and enhanced data import and migration options\n\n\n### SQL Editor in Timescale Console\nWe've added a new tab to the service screen that allows users to query their database directly, without having to leave the console interface.\n\n* For existing services on Timescale, this is an opt-in feature. For all newly created services, the SQL Editor will be enabled by default.\n* Users can disable the SQL Editor at any time by toggling the option under the Operations tab.\n* The editor supports all DML and DDL operations (any single-statement SQL query), but doesn't support multiple SQL statements in a single query.\n\n![SQL Editor](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/sql-editor-query.png)\n\n### Enhanced Data Import Options for Quick Evaluation\nAfter service creation, we now offer a dedicated section for data import, including options to import from Postgres as a source or from CSV files.\n\nThe enhanced Postgres import instructions now offer several options: single table import, schema-only import, partial data import (allowing selection of a specific time range), and complete database import. Users can execute any of these data imports with just one or two simple commands provided in the data import section.\n\n![Data import screen](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/data-import-screen.png)\n\n### Improvements to Live migration\nWe've released v0.0.25 of Live migration that includes the following improvements:\n* Support migrating tsdb on non public schema to public schema\n* Pre-migration compatibility checks\n* Docker compose build fixes\n\n## 🛠️ Improved tooling in Timescale Cloud and new AI and Vector extension releases\n\n\n### CSV import\nWe have added a CSV import tool to the Timescale Console. For all TimescaleDB services, after service creation you can:\n* Choose a local file\n* Select the name of the data collection to be uploaded (default is file name)\n* Choose data types for each column\n* Upload the file as a new hypertable within your service\nLook for the `Import data from .csv` tile in the `Import your data` step of service creation.\n\n![CSV import](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/csv-import.png)\n\n### Replica lag\nCustomers now have more visibility into the state of replicas running on Timescale Cloud. We’ve released a new parameter called Replica Lag within the Service Overview for both Read and High Availability Replicas. Replica lag is measured in bytes against the current state of the primary database. For questions or concerns about the relative lag state of your replica, reach out to Customer Support.\n\n![Replica lag indicator](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/replica-lag-indicator.png)\n\n### Adjust chunk interval\nCustomers can now adjust their chunk interval for their hypertables and continuous aggregates through the Timescale UI. In the Explorer, select the corresponding hypertable you would like to adjust the chunk interval for. Under *Chunk information*, you can change the chunk interval. Note that this only changes the chunk interval going forward, and does not retroactively change existing chunks.\n\n![Edit chunk interval](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/edit-chunk-interval.png)\n\n### CloudWatch permissions via role assumption\nWe've released permission granting via role assumption to CloudWatch. Role assumption is both more secure and more convenient for customers who no longer need to rotate credentials and update their exporter config.\n\nFor more details take a look at [our documentation][integrations].\n\n\"CloudWatch\n\n### Two-factor authentication (2FA) indicator\nWe’ve added a 2FA status column to the Members page, allowing customers to easily see whether each project member has 2FA enabled or disabled.\n\n![2FA status](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/2FA-status-indicator.png)\n\n### Anthropic and Cohere integrations in pgai\nThe pgai extension v0.3.0 now supports embedding creation and LLM reasoning using models from Anthropic and Cohere. For details and examples, see [this post for pgai and Cohere](https://www.timescale.com/blog/build-search-and-rag-systems-on-postgresql-using-cohere-and-pgai/), and [this post for pgai and Anthropic](https://www.timescale.com/blog/use-anthropic-claude-sonnet-3-5-in-postgresql-with-pgai/).\n\n### pgvectorscale extension: ARM builds and improved recall for low dimensional vectors\npgvectorscale extension [v0.3.0](https://github.com/timescale/pgvectorscale/releases/tag/0.3.0) adds support for ARM processors and improves recall when using StreamingDiskANN indexes with low dimensionality vectors. We recommend updating to this version if you are self-hosting.\n\n## 🏄 Optimizations for compressed data and extended join support in continuous aggregates\n\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.0 contains significant performance improvements when working with compressed data, extended join\nsupport in continuous aggregates, and the ability to define foreign keys from regular tables towards hypertables.\nWe recommend upgrading at the next available opportunity.\n\nAny new service created on Timescale Cloud starting today uses TimescaleDB v2.16.0.\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.16.0 we:\n\n* Introduced multiple performance focused optimizations for data manipulation operations (DML) over compressed chunks.\n\nImproved upsert performance by more than 100x in some cases and more than 500x in some update/delete scenarios.\n\n* Added the ability to define chunk skipping indexes on non-partitioning columns of compressed hypertables.\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.0 extends chunk exclusion to use these skipping (sparse) indexes when queries filter on the relevant columns,\n and prune chunks that do not include any relevant data for calculating the query response.\n\n* Offered new options for use cases that require foreign keys defined.\n\nYou can now add foreign keys from regular tables towards hypertables. We have also removed\n some really annoying locks in the reverse direction that blocked access to referenced tables\n while compression was running.\n\n* Extended Continuous Aggregates to support more types of analytical queries.\n\nMore types of joins are supported, additional equality operators on join clauses, and\n support for joins between multiple regular tables.\n\n**Highlighted features in this release**\n\n* Improved query performance through chunk exclusion on compressed hypertables.\n\nYou can now define chunk skipping indexes on compressed chunks for any column with one of the following\n integer data types: `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `serial`, `bigserial`, `date`, `timestamp`, `timestamptz`.\n\nAfter calling `enable_chunk_skipping` on a column, TimescaleDB tracks the min and max values for\n that column, using this information to exclude chunks for queries filtering on that\n column, where no data would be found.\n\n* Improved upsert performance on compressed hypertables.\n\nBy using index scans to verify constraints during inserts on compressed chunks, TimescaleDB speeds\n up some ON CONFLICT clauses by more than 100x.\n\n* Improved performance of updates, deletes, and inserts on compressed hypertables.\n\nBy filtering data while accessing the compressed data and before decompressing, TimescaleDB has\n improved performance for updates and deletes on all types of compressed chunks, as well as inserts\n into compressed chunks with unique constraints.\n\nBy signaling constraint violations without decompressing, or decompressing only when matching\n records are found in the case of updates, deletes and upserts, TimescaleDB v2.16.0 speeds\n up those operations more than 1000x in some update/delete scenarios, and 10x for upserts.\n\n* You can add foreign keys from regular tables to hypertables, with support for all types of cascading options.\n This is useful for hypertables that partition using sequential IDs, and need to reference these IDs from other tables.\n\n* Lower locking requirements during compression for hypertables with foreign keys\n\nAdvanced foreign key handling removes the need for locking referenced tables when new chunks are compressed.\n DML is no longer blocked on referenced tables while compression runs on a hypertable.\n\n* Improved support for queries on Continuous Aggregates\n\n`INNER/LEFT` and `LATERAL` joins are now supported. Plus, you can now join with multiple regular tables,\n and have more than one equality operator on join clauses.\n\n**Postgres 13 support removal announcement**\n\nFollowing the deprecation announcement for Postgres 13 in TimescaleDB v2.13,\nPostgres 13 is no longer supported in TimescaleDB v2.16.\n\nThe currently supported Postgres major versions are 14, 15, and 16.\n\n## 📦 Performance, packaging and stability improvements for Timescale Cloud\n\n\n### New plans\nTo support evolving customer needs, Timescale Cloud now offers three plans to provide more value, flexibility, and efficiency.\n- **Performance:** for cost-focused, smaller projects. No credit card required to start.\n- **Scale:** for developers handling critical and demanding apps.\n- **Enterprise:** for enterprises with mission-critical apps.\n\nEach plan continues to bill based on hourly usage, primarily for compute you run and storage you consume. You can upgrade or downgrade between Performance and Scale plans via the Console UI at any time. More information about the specifics and differences between these pricing plans can be found [here in the docs](https://docs.timescale.com/about/latest/pricing-and-account-management/).\n![Pricing plans in the console](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/pricing-plans-in-console.png)\n\n### Improvements to the Timescale Console\nThe individual tiles on the services page have been enhanced with new information, including high-availability status. This will let you better assess the state of your services at a glance.\n![New service tile](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/new-service-tile-high-availability.png)\n\n### Live migration release v0.0.24\nImprovements:\n- Automatic retries are now available for the initial data copy of the migration\n- Now uses pgcopydb for initial data copy for PG to TSDB migrations also (already did for TS to TS) which has a significant performance boost.\n- Fixes issues with TimescaleDB v2.13.x migrations\n- Support for chunk mapping for hypertables with custom schema and table prefixes\n\n## ⚡ Performance and stability improvements for Timescale Cloud and TimescaleDB\n\n\nThe following improvements have been made to Timescale products:\n\n- **Timescale Cloud**:\n - The connection pooler has been updated and now avoids multiple reloads\n - The tsdbadmin user can now grant the following roles to other users: `pg_checkpoint`,`pg_monitor`,`pg_signal_backend`,`pg_read_all_stats`,`pg_stat_scan_tables`\n - Timescale Console is far more reliable.\n\n- **TimescaleDB**\n - The TimescaleDB v2.15.3 patch release improves handling of multiple unique indexes in a compressed INSERT,\n removes the recheck of ORDER when querying compressed data, improves memory management in DML functions, improves\n the tuple lock acquisition for tiered chunks on replicas, and fixes an issue with ORDER BY/GROUP BY in our\n HashAggregate optimization on PG16. For more information, see the [release note](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.15.3).\n - The TimescaleDB v2.15.2 patch release improves sort pushdown for partially compressed chunks, and compress_chunk with\n a primary space partition. The metadata function is removed from the update script, and hash partitioning on a\n primary column is disallowed. For more information, see the [release note](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.15.2).\n\n## ⚡ Performance improvements for live migration to Timescale Cloud\n\n\nThe following improvements have been made to the Timescale [live-migration docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/live-migration/tags):\n\n- Table-based filtering is now available during live migration.\n- Improvements to pbcopydb increase performance and remove unhelpful warning messages.\n- The user notification log enables you to always select the most recent release for a migration run.\n\nFor improved stability and new features, update to the latest [timescale/live-migration](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/live-migration/tags) docker image.

Highlights in these releases are:\n\n- Continuous Aggregate now supports `time_bucket` with origin and/or offset.\n- Hypertable compression has the following improvements:\n - Recommend optimized defaults for segment by and order by when configuring compression through analysis of table configuration and statistics.\n - Added planner support to check more kinds of WHERE conditions before decompression.\n This reduces the number of rows that have to be decompressed.\n - You can now use minmax sparse indexes when you compress columns with btree indexes.\n - Vectorize filters in the WHERE clause that contain text equality operators and LIKE expressions.\n\nTo learn more, see the [TimescaleDB release notes](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases).\n\n## 🔍 Database Audit Logging with pgaudit\n\n\nThe [Postgres Audit extension(pgaudit)](https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit/) is now available on [Timescale Cloud][signup].\npgaudit provides detailed database session and object audit logging in the Timescale\nCloud logs.\n\nIf you have strict security and compliance requirements and need to log all operations\non the database level, pgaudit can help. You can also export these audit logs to\n[Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/).\n\nTo learn more, see the [pgaudit documentation](https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit/).\n\n## 🌡 International System of Unit Support with postgresql-unit\n\n\nThe [SI Units for Postgres extension(unit)](https://github.com/df7cb/postgresql-unit) provides support for the\n[ISU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units) in [Timescale Cloud][signup].\n\nYou can use Timescale Cloud to solve day-to-day questions. For example, to see what 50°C is in °F, run the following\nquery in your Timescale Cloud service:\n\nTo learn more, see the [postgresql-unit documentation](https://github.com/df7cb/postgresql-unit).\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/about/timescaledb-editions/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (unknown):\n```unknown\nSELECT * FROM hypertable WHERE timestamp_col > now() - '100 days'::interval\n```\n\nExample 2 (unknown):\n```unknown\nbegin;\ninsert into users (name, email) values ('john doe', 'john@example.com');\nabort; -- nothing inserted\n```\n\nExample 3 (unknown):\n```unknown\ncreate temporary table temp_users (email text);\ninsert into temp_sales (email) values ('john@example.com');\n-- table will automatically disappear after your session ends\n```\n\nExample 4 (unknown):\n```unknown\nset search_path to 'myschema', 'public';\n```\n\n---\n\n## Create a compression policy\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#create-a-compression-policy\n\n**Contents:**\n- Enable a compression policy\n - Enabling compression\n- View current compression policy\n- Pause compression policy\n- Remove compression policy\n- Disable compression\n\nOld API since [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0) Replaced by Optimize your data for real-time analytics.\n\nYou can enable compression on individual hypertables, by declaring which column\nyou want to segment by.\n\n## Enable a compression policy\n\nThis page uses an example table, called `example`, and segments it by the\n`device_id` column. Every chunk that is more than seven days old is then marked\nto be automatically compressed. The source data is organized like this:\n\n|time|device_id|cpu|disk_io|energy_consumption|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|8/22/2019 0:00|1|88.2|20|0.8|\n|8/22/2019 0:05|2|300.5|30|0.9|\n\n### Enabling compression\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, alter the table:\n\n1. Add a compression policy to compress chunks that are older than seven days:\n\nFor more information, see the API reference for\n[`ALTER TABLE (compression)`][alter-table-compression] and\n[`add_compression_policy`][add_compression_policy].\n\n## View current compression policy\n\nTo view the compression policy that you've set:\n\nFor more information, see the API reference for [`timescaledb_information.jobs`][timescaledb_information-jobs].\n\n## Pause compression policy\n\nTo disable a compression policy temporarily, find the corresponding job ID and then call `alter_job` to pause it:\n\n## Remove compression policy\n\nTo remove a compression policy, use `remove_compression_policy`:\n\nFor more information, see the API reference for\n[`remove_compression_policy`][remove_compression_policy].\n\n## Disable compression\n\nYou can disable compression entirely on individual hypertables. This command\nworks only if you don't currently have any compressed chunks:\n\nIf your hypertable contains compressed chunks, you need to\n[decompress each chunk][decompress-chunks] individually before you can turn off\ncompression.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/modify-compressed-data/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER TABLE example SET (\n timescaledb.compress,\n timescaledb.compress_segmentby = 'device_id'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_compression_policy('example', INTERVAL '7 days');\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.jobs\n WHERE proc_name='policy_compression';\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.jobs where proc_name = 'policy_compression' AND relname = 'example'\n```\n\n---\n\n## Compress your data using hypercore\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#compress-your-data-using-hypercore\n\n**Contents:**\n- Optimize your data in the columnstore\n- Take advantage of query speedups\n\nOver time you end up with a lot of data. Since this data is mostly immutable, you can compress it\nto save space and avoid incurring additional cost.\n\nTimescaleDB is built for handling event-oriented data such as time-series and fast analytical queries, it comes with support\nof [hypercore][hypercore] featuring the columnstore.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] enables you to store the data in a vastly more efficient format allowing\nup to 90x compression ratio compared to a normal Postgres table. However, this is highly dependent\non the data and configuration.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is implemented natively in Postgres and does not require special storage\nformats. When you convert your data from the rowstore to the columnstore, TimescaleDB uses\nPostgres features to transform the data into columnar format. The use of a columnar format allows a better\ncompression ratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on the columnar format,\nsee [hypercore][hypercore].\n\nA beneficial side effect of compressing data is that certain queries are significantly faster, since\nless data has to be read into memory.\n\n## Optimize your data in the columnstore\n\nTo compress the data in the `transactions` table, do the following:\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\nIn [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Convert data to the columnstore:\n\nYou can do this either automatically or manually:\n - [Automatically convert chunks][add_columnstore_policy] in the hypertable to the columnstore at a specific time interval:\n\n- [Manually convert all chunks][convert_to_columnstore] in the hypertable to the columnstore:\n\n## Take advantage of query speedups\n\nPreviously, data in the columnstore was segmented by the `block_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column is\nmore efficient.

You may run into the following shortcomings:\n\n- Live migration does not yet support mutable columnstore compression (`INSERT`, `UPDATE`,\n `DELETE` on data in the columnstore).\n- By default, numeric fields containing `NaN`/`+Inf`/`-Inf` values are not\n correctly replicated, and will be converted to `NULL`. A workaround is available, but is not enabled by default.\n\nShould you run into any problems, please open a support request before losing\nany time debugging issues.\nYou can open a support request directly from [Tiger Cloud Console][support-link],\nor by email to [support@tigerdata.com](mailto:support@tigerdata.com).\n\n## Where can I find logs for processes running during live migration?\n\nLive migration involves several background processes to manage different stages of\nthe migration. The logs of these processes can be helpful for troubleshooting\nunexpected behavior. You can find these logs in the `/logs` directory.\n\n## Source and target databases have different TimescaleDB versions\n\nWhen you migrate a [self-hosted][self hosted] or [Managed Service for TimescaleDB (MST)][mst]\ndatabase to Tiger Cloud, the source database and the destination\n[Tiger Cloud service][timescale-service] must run the same version of TimescaleDB.\n\nBefore you start [live migration][live migration]:\n\n1. Check the version of TimescaleDB running on the source database and the\n target Tiger Cloud service:\n\n1. If the version of TimescaleDB on the source database is lower than your Tiger Cloud service, either:\n - **Downgrade**: reinstall an older version of TimescaleDB on your Tiger Cloud service that matches the source database:\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service and check the versions of TimescaleDB available:\n\n2. If an available TimescaleDB release matches your source database:\n\n1. Uninstall TimescaleDB from your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n1. Reinstall the correct version of TimescaleDB:\n\nYou may need to reconnect to your Tiger Cloud service using `psql -X` when you're creating the TimescaleDB extension.\n\n- **Upgrade**: for self-hosted databases, [upgrade TimescaleDB][self hosted upgrade] to match your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n## Why does live migration log \"no tuple identifier\" warning?\n\nLive migration logs a warning `WARNING: no tuple identifier for UPDATE in table`\nwhen it cannot determine which specific rows should be updated after receiving an\n`UPDATE` statement from the source database during replication. This occurs when tables\nin the source database that receive `UPDATE` statements lack either a `PRIMARY KEY` or\na `REPLICA IDENTITY` setting. For live migration to successfully replicate `UPDATE` and\n`DELETE` statements, tables must have either a `PRIMARY KEY` or `REPLICA IDENTITY` set\nas a prerequisite.\n\n## Set REPLICA IDENTITY on Postgres partitioned tables\n\nIf your Postgres tables use native partitioning, setting `REPLICA IDENTITY` on the\nroot (parent) table will not automatically apply it to the partitioned child tables.\nYou must manually set `REPLICA IDENTITY` on each partitioned child table.\n\n## Can I use read/failover replicas as source database for live migration?\n\nLive migration does not support replication from read or failover replicas. You must\nprovide a connection string that points directly to your source database for\nlive migration.\n\n## Can I use live migration with a Postgres connection pooler like PgBouncer?\n\nLive migration does not support connection poolers. You must provide a\nconnection string that points directly to your source and target databases\nfor live migration to work smoothly.\n\n## Can I use Tiger Cloud instance as source for live migration?\n\nNo, Tiger Cloud cannot be used as a source database for live migration.\n\n## How can I exclude a schema/table from being replicated in live migration?\n\nAt present, live migration does not allow for excluding schemas or tables from\nreplication, but this feature is expected to be added in future releases.\nHowever, a workaround is available for skipping table data using the `--skip-table-data` flag.\nFor more information, please refer to the help text under the `migrate` subcommand.\n\n## Large migrations blocked\n\nTiger Cloud automatically manages the underlying disk volume. Due to\nplatform limitations, it is only possible to resize the disk once every six\nhours. Depending on the rate at which you're able to copy data, you may be\naffected by this restriction. Affected instances are unable to accept new data\nand error with: `FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command`.\n\nIf you intend on migrating more than 400 GB of data to Tiger Cloud, open a\nsupport request requesting the required storage to be pre-allocated in your\nTiger Cloud service.\n\nYou can open a support request directly from [Tiger Cloud Console][support-link],\nor by email to [support@tigerdata.com](mailto:support@tigerdata.com).\n\nWhen `pg_dump` starts, it takes an `ACCESS SHARE` lock on all tables which it\ndumps. This ensures that tables aren't dropped before `pg_dump` is able to drop\nthem. A side effect of this is that any query which tries to take an\n`ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock on a table is be blocked by the `ACCESS SHARE` lock.\n\nA number of Tiger Cloud-internal processes require taking `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE`\nlocks to ensure consistency of the data. The following is a non-exhaustive list\nof potentially affected operations:\n\n- converting a chunk into the columnstore/rowstore and back\n- continuous aggregate refresh (before 2.12)\n- create hypertable with foreign keys, truncate hypertable\n- enable hypercore on a hypertable\n- drop chunks\n\nThe most likely impact of the above is that background jobs for retention\npolicies, columnstore compression policies, and continuous aggregate refresh policies are\nblocked for the duration of the `pg_dump` command. This may have unintended\nconsequences for your database performance.\n\n## Dumping with concurrency\n\nWhen using the `pg_dump` directory format, it is possible to use concurrency to\nuse multiple connections to the source database to dump data. This speeds up\nthe dump process. Due to the fact that there are multiple connections, it is\npossible for `pg_dump` to end up in a deadlock situation. When it detects a\ndeadlock it aborts the dump.\n\nIn principle, any query which takes an `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock on a table\ncauses such a deadlock. As mentioned above, some common operations which take\nan `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock are:\n- retention policies\n- columnstore compression policies\n- continuous aggregate refresh policies\n\nIf you would like to use concurrency nonetheless, turn off all background jobs\nin the source database before running `pg_dump`, and turn them on once the dump\nis complete. If the dump procedure takes longer than the continuous aggregate\nrefresh policy's window, you must manually refresh the continuous aggregate in\nthe correct time range. For more information, consult the\n[refresh policies documentation].\n\nTo turn off the jobs:\n\n## Restoring with concurrency\n\nIf the directory format is used for `pg_dump` and `pg_restore`, concurrency can be\nemployed to speed up the process. Unfortunately, loading the tables in the\n`timescaledb_catalog` schema concurrently causes errors. Furthermore, the\n`tsdbadmin` user does not have sufficient privileges to turn off triggers in\nthis schema. To get around this limitation, load this schema serially, and then\nload the rest of the database concurrently.\n\n## Ownership of background jobs\n\nThe `_timescaledb_config.bgw_jobs` table is used to manage background jobs.\nThis includes custom jobs, columnstore compression policies, retention\npolicies, and continuous aggregate refresh policies. On Tiger Cloud, this table\nhas a trigger which ensures that no database user can create or modify jobs\nowned by another database user. This trigger can provide an obstacle for migrations.\n\nIf the `--no-owner` flag is used with `pg_dump` and `pg_restore`, all\nobjects in the target database are owned by the user that ran\n`pg_restore`, likely `tsdbadmin`.\n\nIf all the background jobs in the source database were owned by a user of the\nsame name as the user running the restore (again likely `tsdbadmin`), then\nloading the `_timescaledb_config.bgw_jobs` table should work.\n\nIf the background jobs in the source were owned by the `postgres` user, they\nare be automatically changed to be owned by the `tsdbadmin` user. In this case,\none just needs to verify that the jobs do not make use of privileges that the\n`tsdbadmin` user does not possess.\n\nIf background jobs are owned by one or more users other than the user\nemployed in restoring, then there could be issues. To work around this\nissue, do not dump this table with `pg_dump`. Provide either\n`--exclude-table-data='_timescaledb_config.bgw_job'` or\n`--exclude-table='_timescaledb_config.bgw_job'` to `pg_dump` to skip\nthis table. Then, use `psql` and the `COPY` command to dump and\nrestore this table with modified values for the `owner` column.\n\nOnce the table has been loaded and the restore completed, you may then use SQL\nto adjust the ownership of the jobs and/or the associated stored procedures and\nfunctions as you wish.\n\n## Extension availability\n\nThere are a vast number of Postgres extensions available in the wild.\nTiger Cloud supports many of the most popular extensions, but not all extensions.\nBefore migrating, check that the extensions you are using are supported on\nTiger Cloud. Consult the [list of supported extensions].\n\n## TimescaleDB extension in the public schema\n\nWhen self-hosting, the TimescaleDB extension may be installed in an arbitrary\nschema. Tiger Cloud only supports installing the TimescaleDB extension in the\n`public` schema. How to go about resolving this depends heavily on the\nparticular details of the source schema and the migration approach chosen.\n\nTiger Cloud does not support using custom tablespaces. Providing the\n`--no-tablespaces` flag to `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` when\ndumping/restoring the schema results in all objects being in the\ndefault tablespace as desired.\n\n## Only one database per instance\n\nWhile Postgres clusters can contain many databases, Tiger Cloud services are\nlimited to a single database. When migrating a cluster with multiple databases\nto Tiger Cloud, one can either migrate each source database to a separate\nTiger Cloud service or \"merge\" source databases to target schemas.\n\n## Superuser privileges\n\nThe `tsdbadmin` database user is the most powerful available on Tiger Cloud, but it\nis not a true superuser. Review your application for use of superuser privileged\noperations and mitigate before migrating.\n\n## Migrate partial continuous aggregates\n\nIn order to improve the performance and compatibility of continuous aggregates, TimescaleDB\nv2.7 replaces _partial_ continuous aggregates with _finalized_ continuous aggregates.\n\nTo test your database for partial continuous aggregates, run the following query:\n\nIf you have partial continuous aggregates in your database, [migrate them][migrate]\nfrom partial to finalized before you migrate your database.\n\nIf you accidentally migrate partial continuous aggregates across Postgres\nversions, you see the following error when you query any continuous aggregates:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/ai/mcp-server/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nselect extversion from pg_extension where extname = 'timescaledb';\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT version FROM pg_available_extension_versions WHERE name = 'timescaledb' ORDER BY 1 DESC;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nDROP EXTENSION timescaledb;\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE EXTENSION timescaledb VERSION '';\n```\n\n---\n\n## Energy consumption data tutorial - set up compression\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#energy-consumption-data-tutorial---set-up-compression\n\n**Contents:**\n- Compression setup\n- Add a compression policy\n- Taking advantage of query speedups\n\nYou have now seen how to create a hypertable for your energy consumption\ndataset and query it. When ingesting a dataset like this\nis seldom necessary to update old data and over time the amount of\ndata in the tables grows. Over time you end up with a lot of data and\nsince this is mostly immutable you can compress it to save space and\navoid incurring additional cost.\n\nIt is possible to use disk-oriented compression like the support\noffered by ZFS and Btrfs but since TimescaleDB is build for handling\nevent-oriented data (such as time-series) it comes with support for\ncompressing data in hypertables.\n\nTimescaleDB compression allows you to store the data in a vastly more\nefficient format allowing up to 20x compression ratio compared to a\nnormal Postgres table, but this is of course highly dependent on the\ndata and configuration.\n\nTimescaleDB compression is implemented natively in Postgres and does\nnot require special storage formats. Instead it relies on features of\nPostgres to transform the data into columnar format before\ncompression. The use of a columnar format allows better compression\nratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on how\nthe compression format looks, you can look at the [compression\ndesign][compression-design] section.\n\nA beneficial side-effect of compressing data is that certain queries\nare significantly faster since less data has to be read into\nmemory.\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the energy\n dataset using, for example `psql`.\n1. Enable compression on the table and pick suitable segment-by and\n order-by column using the `ALTER TABLE` command:\n\nDepending on the choice if segment-by and order-by column you can\n get very different performance and compression ratio. To learn\n more about how to pick the correct columns, see\n [here][segment-by-columns].\n1. You can manually compress all the chunks of the hypertable using\n `compress_chunk` in this manner:\n \n You can also [automate compression][automatic-compression] by\n adding a [compression policy][add_compression_policy] which will\n be covered below.\n\n1. Now that you have compressed the table you can compare the size of\n the dataset before and after compression:\n\nThis shows a significant improvement in data usage:\n\n## Add a compression policy\n\nTo avoid running the compression step each time you have some data to\ncompress you can set up a compression policy. The compression policy\nallows you to compress data that is older than a particular age, for\nexample, to compress all chunks that are older than 8 days:\n\nCompression policies run on a regular schedule, by default once every\nday, which means that you might have up to 9 days of uncompressed data\nwith the setting above.\n\nYou can find more information on compression policies in the\n[add_compression_policy][add_compression_policy] section.\n\n## Taking advantage of query speedups\n\nPreviously, compression was set up to be segmented by `type_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column will be\nmore efficient. Ordering is also set to `created` descending so if you run queries\nwhich try to order data with that ordering, you should see performance benefits.\n\nFor instance, if you run the query example from previous section:\n\nYou should see a decent performance difference when the dataset is compressed and\nwhen is decompressed. Try it yourself by running the previous query, decompressing\nthe dataset and running it again while timing the execution time. You can enable\ntiming query times in psql by running:\n\nTo decompress the whole dataset, run:\n\nOn an example setup, speedup performance observed was an order of magnitude,\n30 ms when compressed vs 360 ms when decompressed.\n\nTry it yourself and see what you get!\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/financial-ingest-real-time/financial-ingest-dataset/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER TABLE metrics\n SET (\n timescaledb.compress,\n timescaledb.compress_segmentby='type_id',\n timescaledb.compress_orderby='created DESC'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT compress_chunk(c) from show_chunks('metrics') c;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT\n pg_size_pretty(before_compression_total_bytes) as before,\n pg_size_pretty(after_compression_total_bytes) as after\n FROM hypertable_compression_stats('metrics');\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nbefore | after\n --------+-------\n 180 MB | 16 MB\n (1 row)\n```\n\n---\n\n## Tuple decompression limit exceeded by operation\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#tuple-decompression-limit-exceeded-by-operation\n\n\n\nWhen inserting, updating, or deleting tuples from chunks in the columnstore, it might be necessary to convert tuples to the rowstore. This happens either when you are updating existing tuples or have constraints that need to be verified during insert time. If you happen to trigger a lot of rowstore conversion with a single command, you may end up running out of storage space. For this reason, a limit has been put in place on the number of tuples you can decompress into the rowstore for a single command.\n\nThe limit can be increased or turned off (set to 0) like so:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/caggs-queries-fail/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\n-- set limit to a milion tuples\nSET timescaledb.max_tuples_decompressed_per_dml_transaction TO 1000000;\n-- disable limit by setting to 0\nSET timescaledb.max_tuples_decompressed_per_dml_transaction TO 0;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Schema modifications\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#schema-modifications\n\n**Contents:**\n- Add a nullable column\n- Add a column with a default value and a NOT NULL constraint\n- Rename a column\n- Drop a column\n\nYou can modify the schema of compressed hypertables in recent versions of\nTimescaleDB.\n\n|Schema modification|Before TimescaleDB 2.1|TimescaleDB 2.1 to 2.5|TimescaleDB 2.6 and above|\n|-|-|-|-|\n|Add a nullable column|❌|✅|✅|\n|Add a column with a default value and a `NOT NULL` constraint|❌|❌|✅|\n|Rename a column|❌|✅|✅|\n|Drop a column|❌|❌|✅|\n|Change the data type of a column|❌|❌|❌|\n\nTo perform operations that aren't supported on compressed hypertables, first\n[decompress][decompression] the table.\n\n## Add a nullable column\n\nTo add a nullable column:\n\nNote that adding constraints to the new column is not supported before\nTimescaleDB v2.6.\n\n## Add a column with a default value and a NOT NULL constraint\n\nTo add a column with a default value and a not-null constraint:\n\nYou can drop a column from a compressed hypertable, if the column is not an\n`orderby` or `segmentby` column.

If you set your refresh policies\ncorrectly, you can delete old data from a hypertable without deleting it from\nany continuous aggregates. This lets you save on raw data storage while keeping\nsummarized data for historical analysis.\n\nTo keep your aggregates while dropping raw data, you must be careful about\nrefreshing your aggregates. You can delete raw data from the underlying table\nwithout deleting data from continuous aggregates, so long as you don't refresh\nthe aggregate over the deleted data. When you refresh a continuous aggregate,\nTimescaleDB updates the aggregate based on changes in the raw data for the\nrefresh window. If it sees that the raw data was deleted, it also deletes the\naggregate data. To prevent this, make sure that the aggregate's refresh window\ndoesn't overlap with any deleted data. For more information, see the following\nexample.\n\nAs an example, say that you add a continuous aggregate to a `conditions`\nhypertable that stores device temperatures:\n\nThis creates a `conditions_summary_daily` aggregate which stores the daily\ntemperature per device. The aggregate refreshes every day. Every time it\nrefreshes, it updates with any data changes from 7 days ago to 1 day ago.\n\nYou should **not** set a 24-hour retention policy on the `conditions`\nhypertable. If you do, chunks older than 1 day are dropped. Then the aggregate\nrefreshes based on data changes. Since the data change was to delete data older\nthan 1 day, the aggregate also deletes the data. You end up with no data in the\n`conditions_summary_daily` table.\n\nTo fix this, set a longer retention policy, for example 30 days:\n\nNow, chunks older than 30 days are dropped. But when the aggregate refreshes, it\ndoesn't look for changes older than 30 days. It only looks for changes between 7\ndays and 1 day ago. The raw hypertable still contains data for that time period.\nSo your aggregate retains the data.\n\n## Data retention on a continuous aggregate itself\n\nYou can also apply data retention on a continuous aggregate itself. For example,\nyou can keep raw data for 30 days, as mentioned earlier. Meanwhile, you can keep\ndaily data for 600 days, and no data beyond that.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/data-retention/about-data-retention/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_summary_daily (day, device, temp)\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', time), device, avg(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n GROUP BY (1, 2);\n\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('conditions_summary_daily', '7 days', '1 day', '1 day');\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_retention_policy('conditions', INTERVAL '30 days');\n```\n\n---\n\n## Jobs in TimescaleDB\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#jobs-in-timescaledb\n\nTimescaleDB natively includes some job-scheduling policies, such as:\n\n* [Continuous aggregate policies][caggs] to automatically refresh continuous aggregates\n* [Hypercore policies][setup-hypercore] to optimize and compress historical data\n* [Retention policies][retention] to drop historical data\n* [Reordering policies][reordering] to reorder data within chunks\n\nIf these don't cover your use case, you can create and schedule custom-defined jobs to run within\nyour database.

If you insert historic\ndata, or data that is not related to the current time, you need to refresh\npolicies and reevaluate the values that are dragging from past to present.\n\nYou can set up an after insert rule for your hypertable or upsert to trigger\nsomething that can validate what needs to be refreshed as the data is merged.\n\nLet's say you inserted ordered timeframes named A, B, D, and F, and you already\nhave a continuous aggregation looking for this data. If you now insert E, you\nneed to refresh E and F. However, if you insert C we'll need to refresh C, D, E\nand F.\n\n1. A, B, D, and F are already materialized in a view with all data.\n1. To insert C, split the data into `AB` and `DEF` subsets.\n1. `AB` are consistent and the materialized data is too; you only need to\n reuse it.\n1. Insert C, `DEF`, and refresh policies after C.\n\nThis can use a lot of resources to process, especially if you have any important\ndata in the past that also needs to be brought to the present.\n\nConsider an example where you have 300 columns on a single hypertable and use,\nfor example, five of them in a continuous aggregation. In this case, it could\nbe hard to refresh and would make more sense to isolate these columns in another\nhypertable. Alternatively, you might create one hypertable per metric and\nrefresh them independently.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/locf-queries-null-values-not-missing/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Convert continuous aggregates to the columnstore\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#convert-continuous-aggregates-to-the-columnstore\n\n**Contents:**\n- Enable compression on continuous aggregates\n - Enabling and disabling compression on continuous aggregates\n- Compression policies on continuous aggregates\n\nContinuous aggregates are often used to downsample historical data. If the data is only used for analytical queries\nand never modified, you can compress the aggregate to save on storage.\n\nOld API since [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0) Replaced by Convert continuous aggregates to the columnstore.\n\nBefore version\n[2.18.1](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.1), you can't\nrefresh the compressed regions of a continuous aggregate. To avoid conflicts\nbetween compression and refresh, make sure you set `compress_after` to a larger\ninterval than the `start_offset` of your [refresh\npolicy](https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/latest/continuous-aggregates/add_continuous_aggregate_policy).\n\nCompression on continuous aggregates works similarly to [compression on\nhypertables][compression]. When compression is enabled and no other options are\nprovided, the `segment_by` value will be automatically set to the group by\ncolumns of the continuous aggregate and the `time_bucket` column will be used as\nthe `order_by` column in the compression configuration.\n\n## Enable compression on continuous aggregates\n\nYou can enable and disable compression on continuous aggregates by setting the\n`compress` parameter when you alter the view.\n\n### Enabling and disabling compression on continuous aggregates\n\n1. For an existing continuous aggregate, at the `psql` prompt, enable\n compression:\n\n1. Disable compression:\n\nDisabling compression on a continuous aggregate fails if there are compressed\nchunks associated with the continuous aggregate. In this case, you need to\ndecompress the chunks, and then drop any compression policy on the continuous\naggregate, before you disable compression. For more detailed information, see\nthe [decompress chunks][decompress-chunks] section:\n\n## Compression policies on continuous aggregates\n\nBefore setting up a compression policy on a continuous aggregate, you should set\nup a [refresh policy][refresh-policy]. The compression policy interval should be\nset so that actively refreshed regions are not compressed. This is to prevent\nrefresh policies from failing. For example, consider a refresh policy like this:\n\nWith this kind of refresh policy, the compression policy needs the\n`compress_after` parameter greater than the `start_offset` parameter of the\ncontinuous aggregate policy:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/manual-compression/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW cagg_name set (timescaledb.compress = true);\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW cagg_name set (timescaledb.compress = false);\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT decompress_chunk(c, true) FROM show_chunks('cagg_name') c;\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('cagg_name',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '30 days',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n```\n\n---\n\n## Time and continuous aggregates\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#time-and-continuous-aggregates\n\n**Contents:**\n- Declare an explicit timezone\n- Integer-based time\n\nFunctions that depend on a local timezone setting inside a continuous aggregate\nare not supported. You cannot adjust to a local time because the timezone setting\nchanges from user to user.\n\nTo manage this, you can use explicit timezones in the view definition.\nAlternatively, you can create your own custom aggregation scheme for tables that\nuse an integer time column.\n\n## Declare an explicit timezone\n\nThe most common method of working with timezones is to declare an explicit\ntimezone in the view query.\n\n1. At the `psql`prompt, create the view and declare the timezone:\n\n1. Alternatively, you can cast to a timestamp after the view using `SELECT`:\n\n## Integer-based time\n\nDate and time is usually expressed as year-month-day and hours:minutes:seconds.\nMost TimescaleDB databases use a [date/time-type][postgres-date-time] column to\nexpress the date and time. However, in some cases, you might need to convert\nthese common time and date formats to a format that uses an integer. The most\ncommon integer time is Unix epoch time, which is the number of seconds since the\nUnix epoch of 1970-01-01, but other types of integer-based time formats are\npossible.\n\nThese examples use a hypertable called `devices` that contains CPU and disk\nusage information. The devices measure time using the Unix epoch.\n\nTo create a hypertable that uses an integer-based column as time, you need to\nprovide the chunk time interval. In this case, each chunk is 10 minutes.\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, create a hypertable and define the integer-based time column and chunk time interval:\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\nTo define a continuous aggregate on a hypertable that uses integer-based time,\nyou need to have a function to get the current time in the correct format, and\nset it for the hypertable. You can do this with the\n[`set_integer_now_func`][api-set-integer-now-func]\nfunction. It can be defined as a regular Postgres function, but needs to be\n[`STABLE`][pg-func-stable],\ntake no arguments, and return an integer value of the same type as the time\ncolumn in the table. When you have set up the time-handling, you can create the\ncontinuous aggregate.\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, set up a function to convert the time to the Unix epoch:\n\n1. Create the continuous aggregate for the `devices` table:\n\n1. Insert some rows into the table:\n\nThis command uses the `tablefunc` extension to generate a normal\n distribution, and uses the `row_number` function to turn it into a\n cumulative sequence.\n1.

A combination of [refresh][cagg-refresh] and data retention policies\ncan help you downsample your data. This lets you keep historical data at a\nlower granularity than recent data.\n\nHowever, you should be aware if a retention policy is likely to drop raw data\nfrom your hypertable that you need in your continuous aggregate.\n\nTo simplify the process of setting up downsampling, you can use\nthe [visualizer and code generator][visualizer].\n\n## Drop a continuous aggregate view\n\nYou can drop a continuous aggregate view using the `DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW`\ncommand. This command also removes refresh policies defined on the continuous\naggregate. It does not drop the data from the underlying hypertable.\n\n### Dropping a continuous aggregate view\n\n1. From the `psql`prompt, drop the view:\n\n## Drop raw data from a hypertable\n\nIf you drop data from a hypertable used in a continuous aggregate it can lead to\nproblems with your continuous aggregate view. In many cases, dropping underlying\ndata replaces the aggregate with NULL values, which can lead to unexpected\nresults in your view.\n\nYou can drop data from a hypertable using `drop_chunks` in the usual way, but\nbefore you do so, always check that the chunk is not within the refresh window\nof a continuous aggregate that still needs the data. This is also important if\nyou are manually refreshing a continuous aggregate. Calling\n`refresh_continuous_aggregate` on a region containing dropped chunks\nrecalculates the aggregate without the dropped data.\n\nIf a continuous aggregate is refreshing when data is dropped because of a\nretention policy, the aggregate is updated to reflect the loss of data. If you\nneed to retain the continuous aggregate after dropping the underlying data, set\nthe `start_offset` value of the aggregate policy to a smaller interval than the\n`drop_after` parameter of the retention policy.\n\nFor more information, see the\n[data retention documentation][data-retention-with-continuous-aggregates].\n\n## PolicyVisualizerDownsampling\n\nRefer to the installation documentation for detailed setup instructions.\n\n[data-retention-with-continuous-aggregates]:\n /use-timescale/:currentVersion:/data-retention/data-retention-with-continuous-aggregates\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/continuous-aggregates/migrate/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nDROP MATERIALIZED VIEW view_name;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Continuous aggregates on continuous aggregates\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#continuous-aggregates-on-continuous-aggregates\n\n**Contents:**\n- Create a continuous aggregate on top of another continuous aggregate\n- Use real-time aggregation with hierarchical continuous aggregates\n- Roll up calculations\n- Restrictions\n\nThe more data you have, the more likely you are to run a more sophisticated analysis on it. When a simple one-level aggregation is not enough, TimescaleDB lets you create continuous aggregates on top of other continuous aggregates. This way, you summarize data at different levels of granularity, while still saving resources with precomputing.\n\nFor example, you might have an hourly continuous aggregate that summarizes minute-by-minute\ndata. To get a daily summary, you can create a new continuous aggregate on top\nof your hourly aggregate. This is more efficient than creating the daily\naggregate on top of the original hypertable, because you can reuse the\ncalculations from the hourly aggregate.\n\nThis feature is available in TimescaleDB v2.9 and later.\n\n## Create a continuous aggregate on top of another continuous aggregate\n\nCreating a continuous aggregate on top of another continuous aggregate works the\nsame way as creating it on top of a hypertable. In your query, select from a\ncontinuous aggregate rather than from the hypertable, and use the time-bucketed\ncolumn from the existing continuous aggregate as your time column.\n\nFor more information, see the instructions for\n[creating a continuous aggregate][create-cagg].\n\n## Use real-time aggregation with hierarchical continuous aggregates\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default. In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\nReal-time aggregates always return up-to-date data in response to queries. They accomplish this by\njoining the materialized data in the continuous aggregate with unmaterialized\nraw data from the source table or view.\n\nWhen continuous aggregates are stacked, each continuous aggregate is only aware\nof the layer immediately below. The joining of unmaterialized data happens\nrecursively until it reaches the bottom layer, giving you access to recent data\ndown to that layer.\n\nIf you keep all continuous aggregates in the stack as real-time aggregates, the\nbottom layer is the source hypertable. That means every continuous aggregate in\nthe stack has access to all recent data.\n\nIf there is a non-real-time continuous aggregate somewhere in the stack, the\nrecursive joining stops at that non-real-time continuous aggregate. Higher-level\ncontinuous aggregates don't receive any unmaterialized data from lower levels.\n\nFor example, say you have the following continuous aggregates:\n\n* A real-time hourly continuous aggregate on the source hypertable\n* A real-time daily continuous aggregate on the hourly continuous aggregate\n* A non-real-time, or materialized-only, monthly continuous aggregate on the\n daily continuous aggregate\n* A real-time yearly continuous aggregate on the monthly continuous aggregate\n\nQueries on the hourly and daily continuous aggregates include real-time,\nnon-materialized data from the source hypertable. Queries on the monthly\ncontinuous aggregate only return already-materialized data. Queries on the\nyearly continuous aggregate return materialized data from the yearly continuous\naggregate itself, plus more recent data from the monthly continuous aggregate.\nHowever, the data is limited to what is already materialized in the monthly\ncontinuous aggregate, and doesn't get even more recent data from the source\nhypertable. This happens because the materialized-only continuous aggregate\nprovides a stopping point, and the yearly continuous aggregate is unaware of any\nlayers beyond that stopping point. This is similar to\n[how stacked views work in Postgres][postgresql-views].\n\nTo make queries on the yearly continuous aggregate access all recent data, you\ncan either:\n\n* Make the monthly continuous aggregate real-time, or\n* Redefine the yearly continuous aggregate on top of the daily continuous\n aggregate.\n\n\"Example\n\n## Roll up calculations\n\nWhen summarizing already-summarized data, be aware of how stacked calculations\nwork. Not all calculations return the correct result if you stack them.\n\nFor example, if you take the maximum of several subsets, then take the maximum\nof the maximums, you get the maximum of the entire set. But if you take the\naverage of several subsets, then take the average of the averages, that can\nresult in a different figure than the average of all the data.\n\nTo simplify such calculations when using continuous aggregates on top of\ncontinuous aggregates, you can use the [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions] from\nTimescaleDB Toolkit, such as the [statistical aggregates][stats-aggs]. These\nhyperfunctions are designed with a two-step aggregation pattern that allows you\nto roll them up into larger buckets. The first step creates a summary aggregate\nthat can be rolled up, just as a maximum can be rolled up. You can store this\naggregate in your continuous aggregate. Then, you can call an accessor function\nas a second step when you query from your continuous aggregate. This accessor\ntakes the stored data from the summary aggregate and returns the final result.\n\nFor example, you can create an hourly continuous aggregate using `percentile_agg`\nover a hypertable, like this:\n\nTo then stack another daily continuous aggregate over it, you can use a `rollup`\nfunction, like this:\n\nThe `mean` function of the TimescaleDB Toolkit is used to calculate the concrete\nmean value of the rolled up values. The additional `percentile_daily` attribute\ncontains the raw rolled up values, which can be used in an additional continuous\naggregate on top of this continuous aggregate (for example a continuous\naggregate for the daily values).\n\nFor more information and examples about using `rollup` functions to stack\ncalculations, see the [percentile approximation API documentation][percentile_agg_api].\n\nThere are some restrictions when creating a continuous aggregate on top of\nanother continuous aggregate. In most cases, these restrictions are in place to\nensure valid time-bucketing:\n\n* You can only create a continuous aggregate on top of a finalized continuous\n aggregate. This new finalized format is the default for all continuous\n aggregates created since TimescaleDB 2.7. If you need to create a continuous\n aggregate on top of a continuous aggregate in the old format, you need to\n [migrate your continuous aggregate][migrate-cagg] to the new format first.\n\n* The time bucket of a continuous aggregate should be greater than or equal to\n the time bucket of the underlying continuous aggregate. It also needs to be\n a multiple of the underlying time bucket. For example, you can rebucket an\n hourly continuous aggregate into a new continuous aggregate with time\n buckets of 6 hours. You can't rebucket the hourly continuous aggregate into\n a new continuous aggregate with time buckets of 90 minutes, because 90\n minutes is not a multiple of 1 hour.\n\n* A continuous aggregate with a fixed-width time bucket can't be created on\n top of a continuous aggregate with a variable-width time bucket. Fixed-width\n time buckets are time buckets defined in seconds, minutes, hours, and days,\n because those time intervals are always the same length. Variable-width time\n buckets are time buckets defined in months or years, because those time\n intervals vary by the month or on leap years. This limitation prevents a\n case such as trying to rebucket monthly buckets into `61 day` buckets, where\n there is no good mapping between time buckets for month combinations such as\n July/August (62 days).\n\nNote that even though weeks are fixed-width intervals, you can't use monthly\n or yearly time buckets on top of weekly time buckets for the same reason.\n The number of weeks in a month or year is usually not an integer.\n\nHowever, you can stack a variable-width time bucket on top of a fixed-width\n time bucket. For example, creating a monthly continuous aggregate on top of\n a daily continuous aggregate works, and is the one of the main use cases for\n this feature.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hypercore/secondary-indexes/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW response_times_hourly\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous)\nAS SELECT\n time_bucket('1 h'::interval, ts) as bucket,\n api_id,\n avg(response_time_ms),\n percentile_agg(response_time_ms) as percentile_hourly\nFROM response_times\nGROUP BY 1, 2;\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW response_times_daily\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous)\nAS SELECT\n time_bucket('1 d'::interval, bucket) as bucket_daily,\n api_id,\n mean(rollup(percentile_hourly)) as mean,\n rollup(percentile_hourly) as percentile_daily\nFROM response_times_hourly\nGROUP BY 1, 2;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Continuous aggregate watermark is in the future\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#continuous-aggregate-watermark-is-in-the-future\n\n**Contents:**\n - Creating a new continuous aggregate with an explicit refresh window\n\n\n\nContinuous aggregates use a watermark to indicate which time buckets have\nalready been materialized. When you query a continuous aggregate, your query\nreturns materialized data from before the watermark. It returns real-time,\nnon-materialized data from after the watermark.\n\nIn certain cases, the watermark might be in the future. If this happens, all\nbuckets, including the most recent bucket, are materialized and below the\nwatermark. No real-time data is returned.\n\nThis might happen if you refresh your continuous aggregate over the time window\n`, NULL`, which materializes all recent data.

This means that aggregating\nit into useful summaries can become very slow. If you are collecting data very frequently, you might want to aggregate your\ndata into minutes or hours instead. For example, if an IoT device takes\ntemperature readings every second, you might want to find the average temperature\nfor each hour. Every time you run this query, the database needs to scan the\nentire table and recalculate the average. TimescaleDB makes aggregating data lightning fast, accurate, and easy with continuous aggregates.\n\n![Reduced data calls with continuous aggregates](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/continuous-aggregate.png)\n\nContinuous aggregates in TimescaleDB are a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically\nin the background as new data is added, or old data is modified. Changes to your\ndataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is\nautomatically updated in the background.\n\nContinuous aggregates have a much lower maintenance burden than regular Postgres materialized\nviews, because the whole view is not created from scratch on each refresh. This\nmeans that you can get on with working your data instead of maintaining your\ndatabase.\n\nBecause continuous aggregates are based on hypertables, you can query them in exactly the same way as your other tables. This includes continuous aggregates in the rowstore, compressed into the [columnstore][hypercore],\nor [tiered to object storage][data-tiering]. You can even create [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs], for an even more fine-tuned aggregation.\n\n[Real-time aggregation][real-time-aggregation] enables you to combine pre-aggregated data from the materialized view with the most recent raw data. This gives you up-to-date results on every query. In TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default. In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\n## Types of aggregation\n\nThere are three main ways to make aggregation easier: materialized views,\ncontinuous aggregates, and real-time aggregates.\n\n[Materialized views][pg-materialized views] are a standard Postgres function.\nThey are used to cache the result of a complex query so that you can reuse it\nlater on. Materialized views do not update regularly, although you can manually\nrefresh them as required.\n\n[Continuous aggregates][about-caggs] are a TimescaleDB-only feature. They work in\na similar way to a materialized view, but they are updated automatically in the\nbackground, as new data is added to your database. Continuous aggregates are\nupdated continuously and incrementally, which means they are less resource\nintensive to maintain than materialized views. Continuous aggregates are based\non hypertables, and you can query them in the same way as you do your other\ntables.\n\n[Real-time aggregates][real-time-aggs] are a TimescaleDB-only feature. They are\nthe same as continuous aggregates, but they add the most recent raw data to the\npreviously aggregated data to provide accurate and up-to-date results, without\nneeding to aggregate data as it is being written.\n\n## Continuous aggregates on continuous aggregates\n\nYou can create a continuous aggregate on top of another continuous aggregate.\nThis allows you to summarize data at different granularity. For example, you\nmight have a raw hypertable that contains second-by-second data. Create a\ncontinuous aggregate on the hypertable to calculate hourly data. To calculate\ndaily data, create a continuous aggregate on top of your hourly continuous\naggregate.\n\nFor more information, see the documentation about\n[continuous aggregates on continuous aggregates][caggs-on-caggs].\n\n## Continuous aggregates with a `JOIN` clause\n\nContinuous aggregates support the following JOIN features:\n\n| Feature | TimescaleDB < 2.10.x | TimescaleDB <= 2.15.x | TimescaleDB >= 2.16.x|\n|-|-|-|-|\n|INNER JOIN|❌|✅|✅|\n|LEFT JOIN|❌|❌|✅|\n|LATERAL JOIN|❌|❌|✅|\n|Joins between **ONE** hypertable and **ONE** standard Postgres table|❌|✅|✅|\n|Joins between **ONE** hypertable and **MANY** standard Postgres tables|❌|❌|✅|\n|Join conditions must be equality conditions, and there can only be **ONE** `JOIN` condition|❌|✅|✅|\n|Any join conditions|❌|❌|✅|\n\nJOINS in TimescaleDB must meet the following conditions:\n\n* Only the changes to the hypertable are tracked, and they are updated in the\n continuous aggregate when it is refreshed. Changes to standard\n Postgres table are not tracked.\n* You can use an `INNER`, `LEFT`, and `LATERAL` joins; no other join type is supported.\n* Joins on the materialized hypertable of a continuous aggregate are not supported.\n* Hierarchical continuous aggregates can be created on top of a continuous\n aggregate with a `JOIN` clause, but cannot themselves have a `JOIN` clause.\n\nGiven the following schema:\n\nSee the following `JOIN` examples on continuous aggregates:\n\n- `INNER JOIN` on a single equality condition, using the `ON` clause:\n\n- `INNER JOIN` on a single equality condition, using the `ON` clause, with a further condition added in the `WHERE` clause:\n\n- `INNER JOIN` on a single equality condition specified in `WHERE` clause:\n\n- `INNER JOIN` on multiple equality conditions:\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.x and higher.\n\n- `INNER JOIN` with a single equality condition specified in `WHERE` clause can be combined with further conditions in the `WHERE` clause:\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.x and higher.\n\n- `INNER JOIN` between a hypertable and multiple Postgres tables:\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.x and higher.\n\n- `LEFT JOIN` between a hypertable and a Postgres table:\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.x and higher.\n\n- `LATERAL JOIN` between a hypertable and a subquery:\n\nTimescaleDB v2.16.x and higher.\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.7 and later, continuous aggregates support all Postgres\naggregate functions. This includes both parallelizable aggregates, such as `SUM`\nand `AVG`, and non-parallelizable aggregates, such as `RANK`.\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.10.0 and later, the `FROM` clause supports `JOINS`, with\nsome restrictions. For more information, see the [`JOIN` support section][caggs-joins].\n\nIn older versions of TimescaleDB, continuous aggregates only support\n[aggregate functions that can be parallelized by Postgres][postgres-parallel-agg].\nYou can work around this by aggregating the other parts of your query in the\ncontinuous aggregate, then\n[using the window function to query the aggregate][cagg-window-functions].\n\nThe following table summarizes the aggregate functions supported in continuous aggregates:\n\n| Function, clause, or feature |TimescaleDB 2.6 and earlier|TimescaleDB 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9|TimescaleDB 2.10 and later|\n|------------------------------------------------------------|-|-|-|\n| Parallelizable aggregate functions |✅|✅|✅|\n| [Non-parallelizable SQL aggregates][postgres-parallel-agg] |❌|✅|✅|\n| `ORDER BY` |❌|✅|✅|\n| Ordered-set aggregates |❌|✅|✅|\n| Hypothetical-set aggregates |❌|✅|✅|\n| `DISTINCT` in aggregate functions |❌|✅|✅|\n| `FILTER` in aggregate functions |❌|✅|✅|\n| `FROM` clause supports `JOINS` |❌|❌|✅|\n\nDISTINCT works in aggregate functions, not in the query definition.

When you query\nthe continuous aggregate view, the aggregated data is returned to you as needed.\n\nUsing the same temperature example, the materialization table looks like this:\n\n|day|location|chunk|avg temperature|\n|-|-|-|-|\n|2021/01/01|New York|1|73|\n|2021/01/01|Stockholm|1|70|\n|2021/01/02|New York|2||\n|2021/01/02|Stockholm|2|69|\n\nThe materialization table is stored as a TimescaleDB hypertable, to take\nadvantage of the scaling and query optimizations that hypertables offer.\nMaterialization tables contain a column for each group-by clause in the query,\nand an `aggregate` column for each aggregate in the query.\n\nFor more information, see [materialization hypertables][cagg-mat-hypertables].\n\n### Materialization engine\n\nThe materialization engine performs two transactions. The first transaction\nblocks all INSERTs, UPDATEs, and DELETEs, determines the time range to\nmaterialize, and updates the invalidation threshold. The second transaction\nunblocks other transactions, and materializes the aggregates. The first\ntransaction is very quick, and most of the work happens during the second\ntransaction, to ensure that the work does not interfere with other operations.\n\n### Invalidation engine\n\nAny change to the data in a hypertable could potentially invalidate some\nmaterialized rows. The invalidation engine checks to ensure that the system does\nnot become swamped with invalidations.\n\nFortunately, time-series data means that nearly all INSERTs and UPDATEs have a\nrecent timestamp, so the invalidation engine does not materialize all the data,\nbut to a set point in time called the materialization threshold. This threshold\nis set so that the vast majority of INSERTs contain more recent timestamps.\nThese data points have never been materialized by the continuous aggregate, so\nthere is no additional work needed to notify the continuous aggregate that they\nhave been added. When the materializer next runs, it is responsible for\ndetermining how much new data can be materialized without invalidating the\ncontinuous aggregate. It then materializes the more recent data and moves the\nmaterialization threshold forward in time. This ensures that the threshold lags\nbehind the point-in-time where data changes are common, and that most INSERTs do\nnot require any extra writes.\n\nWhen data older than the invalidation threshold is changed, the maximum and\nminimum timestamps of the changed rows is logged, and the values are used to\ndetermine which rows in the aggregation table need to be recalculated. This\nlogging does cause some write load, but because the threshold lags behind the\narea of data that is currently changing, the writes are small and rare.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/continuous-aggregates/time/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE locations (\n id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,\n name TEXT\n);\n\nCREATE TABLE devices (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n location_id TEXT,\n name TEXT\n);\n\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n device_id INTEGER,\n temperature FLOAT8\n) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n);\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_by_day WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket, devices.name, MIN(temperature), MAX(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n JOIN devices ON devices.id = conditions.device_id\n GROUP BY bucket, devices.name\n WITH NO DATA;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_by_day WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket, devices.name, MIN(temperature), MAX(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n JOIN devices ON devices.id = conditions.device_id\n WHERE devices.location_id = 'location123'\n GROUP BY bucket, devices.name\n WITH NO DATA;\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_by_day WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket, devices.name, MIN(temperature), MAX(temperature)\n FROM conditions, devices\n WHERE devices.id = conditions.device_id\n GROUP BY bucket, devices.name\n WITH NO DATA;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Continuous aggregates\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#continuous-aggregates\n\nIn modern applications, data usually grows very quickly.

Note that a continuous\naggregate using the `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` type aligns with the UTC time\nzone, so, if `window_start` and `window_end` is specified in the local time\nzone, any time zone shift relative UTC needs to be accounted for when refreshing\nto align with bucket boundaries.\n\nTo improve performance for continuous aggregate refresh, see\n[CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ][create_materialized_view].\n\nRefresh the continuous aggregate `conditions` between `2020-01-01` and\n`2020-02-01` exclusive.\n\nAlternatively, incrementally refresh the continuous aggregate `conditions`\nbetween `2020-01-01` and `2020-02-01` exclusive, working in `12h` intervals:\n\nForce the `conditions` continuous aggregate to refresh between `2020-01-01` and\n`2020-02-01` exclusive, even if the data has already been refreshed.\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`continuous_aggregate`|REGCLASS|The continuous aggregate to refresh.|\n|`window_start`|INTERVAL, TIMESTAMPTZ, INTEGER|Start of the window to refresh, has to be before `window_end`.|\n|`window_end`|INTERVAL, TIMESTAMPTZ, INTEGER|End of the window to refresh, has to be after `window_start`.|\n\nYou must specify the `window_start` and `window_end` parameters differently,\ndepending on the type of the time column of the hypertable. For hypertables with\n`TIMESTAMP`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, and `DATE` time columns, set the refresh window as\nan `INTERVAL` type. For hypertables with integer-based timestamps, set the\nrefresh window as an `INTEGER` type.\n\nA `NULL` value for `window_start` is equivalent to the lowest changed element\nin the raw hypertable of the CAgg. A `NULL` value for `window_end` is\nequivalent to the largest changed element in raw hypertable of the CAgg. As\nchanged element tracking is performed after the initial CAgg refresh, running\nCAgg refresh without `window_start` and `window_end` covers the entire time\nrange.\n\nNote that it's not guaranteed that all buckets will be updated: refreshes will\nnot take place when buckets are materialized with no data changes or with\nchanges that only occurred in the secondary table used in the JOIN.\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type| Description |\n|-|-|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `force` | BOOLEAN | Force refresh every bucket in the time range between `window_start` and `window_end`, even when the bucket has already been refreshed.

In\naddition to refreshing the continuous aggregate automatically using a policy,\nyou can also refresh it manually.\n\nTo follow the procedure on this page you need to:\n\n* Create a [target Tiger Cloud service][create-service].\n\nThis procedure also works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Change the refresh policy\n\nContinuous aggregates require a policy for automatic refreshing. You can adjust\nthis to suit different use cases. For example, you can have the continuous\naggregate and the hypertable stay in sync, even when data is removed from the\nhypertable. Alternatively, you could keep source data in the continuous aggregate even after\nit is removed from the hypertable.\n\nYou can change the way your continuous aggregate is refreshed by calling\n`add_continuous_aggregate_policy`.\n\nAmong others, `add_continuous_aggregate_policy` takes the following arguments:\n\n* `start_offset`: the start of the refresh window relative to when the policy\n runs\n* `end_offset`: the end of the refresh window relative to when the policy runs\n* `schedule_interval`: the refresh interval in minutes or hours. Defaults to\n 24 hours.\n\n- If you set the `start_offset` or `end_offset` to `NULL`, the range is open-ended and extends to the beginning or end of time.\n- If you set `end_offset` within the current time bucket, this bucket is excluded from materialization. This is done for the following reasons:\n\n- The current bucket is incomplete and can't be refreshed.\n - The current bucket gets a lot of writes in the timestamp order, and its aggregate becomes outdated very quickly. Excluding it improves performance.\n\nTo include the latest raw data in queries, enable [real-time aggregation][future-watermark].\n\nSee the [API reference][api-reference] for the full list of required and optional arguments and use examples.\n\nThe policy in the following example ensures that all data in the continuous aggregate is up to date with the hypertable, except for data written within the last hour of wall-clock time. The policy also does not refresh the last time bucket of the continuous aggregate.\n\nSince the policy in this example runs once every hour (`schedule_interval`) while also excluding data within the most recent hour (`end_offset`), it takes up to 2 hours for data written to the hypertable to be reflected in the continuous aggregate. Backfills, which are usually outside the most recent hour of data, will be visible after up to 1 hour depending on when the policy last ran when the data was written.\n\nBecause it has an open-ended `start_offset` parameter, any data that is removed\nfrom the table, for example with a `DELETE` or with `drop_chunks`, is also removed\nfrom the continuous aggregate view. This means that the continuous aggregate\nalways reflects the data in the underlying hypertable.\n\nTo changing a refresh policy to use a `NULL` `start_offset`:\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\nIn [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Create a new policy on `conditions_summary_hourly` that keeps the continuous aggregate up to date, and runs every hour:\n\nIf you want to keep data in the continuous aggregate even if it is removed from\nthe underlying hypertable, you can set the `start_offset` to match the\n[data retention policy][sec-data-retention] on the source hypertable. For example,\nif you have a retention policy that removes data older than one month, set\n`start_offset` to one month or less. This sets your policy so that it does not\nrefresh the dropped data.\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service.\n\nIn [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Create a new policy on `conditions_summary_hourly`\n that keeps data removed from the hypertable in the continuous aggregate, and\n runs every hour:\n\nIt is important to consider your data retention policies when you're setting up\ncontinuous aggregate policies. If the continuous aggregate policy window covers\ndata that is removed by the data retention policy, the data will be removed when\nthe aggregates for those buckets are refreshed. For example, if you have a data\nretention policy that removes all data older than two weeks, the continuous\naggregate policy will only have data for the last two weeks.\n\n## Add concurrent refresh policies\n\nYou can add concurrent refresh policies on each continuous aggregate, as long as their\nstart and end offsets don't overlap. For example, to backfill data into older chunks you\nset up one policy that refreshes recent data, and another that refreshes backfilled data.\n\nThe first policy in this example is keeps the continuous aggregate up to date with data that was\ninserted in the past day. Any data that was inserted or updated for previous days is refreshed by\nthe second policy.\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service.\n\nIn [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Create a new policy on `conditions_summary_daily`\n to refresh the continuous aggregate with recently inserted data which runs\n hourly:\n\n2. At the `psql` prompt, create a concurrent policy on\n `conditions_summary_daily` to refresh the continuous aggregate with\n backfilled data:\n\n## Manually refresh a continuous aggregate\n\nIf you need to manually refresh a continuous aggregate, you can use the\n`refresh` command. This recomputes the data within the window that has changed\nin the underlying hypertable since the last refresh. Therefore, if only a few\nbuckets need updating, the refresh runs quickly.\n\nIf you have recently dropped data from a hypertable with a continuous aggregate,\ncalling `refresh_continuous_aggregate` on a region containing dropped chunks\nrecalculates the aggregate without the dropped data. See\n[drop data][cagg-drop-data] for more information.\n\nThe `refresh` command takes three arguments:\n\n* The name of the continuous aggregate view to refresh\n* The timestamp of the beginning of the refresh window\n* The timestamp of the end of the refresh window\n\nOnly buckets that are wholly within the specified range are refreshed. For\nexample, if you specify `2021-05-01', '2021-06-01` the only buckets that are\nrefreshed are those up to but not including 2021-06-01. It is possible to\nspecify `NULL` in a manual refresh to get an open-ended range, but we do not\nrecommend using it, because you could inadvertently materialize a large amount\nof data, slow down your performance, and have unintended consequences on other\npolicies like data retention.\n\nTo manually refresh a continuous aggregate, use the `refresh` command:\n\nFollow the logic used by automated refresh policies and avoid refreshing time buckets that are likely to have a lot of writes. This means that you should generally not refresh the latest incomplete time bucket. To include the latest raw data in your queries, use [real-time aggregation][real-time-aggregates] instead.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/continuous-aggregates/drop-data/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('conditions_summary_hourly',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 h',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 h');\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('conditions_summary_hourly',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '1 month',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 h',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 h');\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('conditions_summary_daily',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 h',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 h');\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('conditions_summary_daily',\n start_offset => NULL\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n```\n\n---\n" }, { "path": "i18n/en/skills/timescaledb/references/getting_started.md", "content": "TRANSLATED CONTENT:\n# Timescaledb - Getting Started\n\n**Pages:** 3\n\n---\n\n## Start coding with Tiger Data\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#start-coding-with-tiger-data\n\nEasily integrate your app with Tiger Cloud or self-hosted TimescaleDB.

Your options are that\n each table and hypertable in the source database should either have:\n- **A primary key**: data replication defaults to the primary key of the table being replicated.\n Nothing to do.\n- **A viable unique index**: each table has a unique, non-partial, non-deferrable index that includes only columns\n marked as `NOT NULL`. If a UNIQUE index does not exist, create one to assist the migration. You can delete if after\n migration.\n\nFor each table, set `REPLICA IDENTITY` to the viable unique index:\n\n- **No primary key or viable unique index**: use brute force.\n\nFor each table, set `REPLICA IDENTITY` to `FULL`:\n \n For each `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statement, Postgres reads the whole table to find all matching rows. This results\n in significantly slower replication.

This saves on storage costs, and keeps your queries operating at\nlightning speed.\n\nWhen you enable compression, the data in your hypertable is compressed chunk by\nchunk. When the chunk is compressed, multiple records are grouped into a single\nrow. The columns of this row hold an array-like structure that stores all the\ndata. This means that instead of using lots of rows to store the data, it stores\nthe same data in a single row. Because a single row takes up less disk space\nthan many rows, it decreases the amount of disk space required, and can also\nspeed up your queries.\n\nFor example, if you had a table with data that looked a bit like this:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|12:00:01|A|SSD|70.11|13.4|\n|12:00:01|B|HDD|69.70|20.5|\n|12:00:02|A|SSD|70.12|13.2|\n|12:00:02|B|HDD|69.69|23.4|\n|12:00:03|A|SSD|70.14|13.0|\n|12:00:03|B|HDD|69.70|25.2|\n\nYou can convert this to a single row in array form, like this:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|[12:00:01, 12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:02, 12:00:03, 12:00:03]|[A, B, A, B, A, B]|[SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD]|[70.11, 69.70, 70.12, 69.69, 70.14, 69.70]|[13.4, 20.5, 13.2, 23.4, 13.0, 25.2]|\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_prereqs-cloud-only/ =====\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with real-time analytics enabled.\n\nYou need your [connection details][connection-info].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_hypercore_manual_workflow/ =====\n\n1. **Stop the jobs that are automatically adding chunks to the columnstore**\n\nRetrieve the list of jobs from the [timescaledb_information.jobs][informational-views] view\n to find the job you need to [alter_job][alter_job].\n\n1. **Convert a chunk to update back to the rowstore**\n\n1. **Update the data in the chunk you added to the rowstore**\n\nBest practice is to structure your [INSERT][insert] statement to include appropriate\n partition key values, such as the timestamp.

When the index does not fit\ninto memory, it is constantly flushed to disk and read back. This wastes IO resources which would otherwise\nbe used for writing the heap/WAL data to disk.\n\nThe default chunk interval is 7 days.

Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_hypertable-intro/ =====\n\nTiger Cloud supercharges your real-time analytics by letting you run complex queries continuously, with near-zero latency. Under the hood, this is achieved by using hypertables—Postgres tables that automatically partition your time-series data by time and optionally by other dimensions. When you run a query, Tiger Cloud identifies the correct partition, called chunk, and runs the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n![Hypertable structure](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable.png)\n\nHypertables offer the following benefits:\n\n- **Efficient data management with [automated partitioning by time][chunk-size]**: Tiger Cloud splits your data into chunks that hold data from a specific time range. For example, one day or one week. You can configure this range to better suit your needs.\n\n- **Better performance with [strategic indexing][hypertable-indexes]**: an index on time in the descending order is automatically created when you create a hypertable. More indexes are created on the chunk level, to optimize performance. You can create additional indexes, including unique indexes, on the columns you need.\n\n- **Faster queries with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping]**: Tiger Cloud skips the chunks that are irrelevant in the context of your query, dramatically reducing the time and resources needed to fetch results. Even more—you can enable chunk skipping on non-partitioning columns.\n\n- **Advanced data analysis with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions]**: Tiger Cloud enables you to efficiently process, aggregate, and analyze significant volumes of data while maintaining high performance.\n\nTo top it all, there is no added complexity—you interact with hypertables in the same way as you would with regular Postgres tables. All the optimization magic happens behind the scenes.\n\nInheritance is not supported for hypertables and may lead to unexpected behavior.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_kubernetes-install-self-hosted/ =====\n\nRunning TimescaleDB on Kubernetes is similar to running Postgres.

That is, the machine you run the commands on to move your\ndata from your source database to your target Tiger Cloud service.\n\nBefore you migrate your data:\n\n- Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][created-a-database-service-in-timescale].\n\nEach Tiger Cloud service has a single database that supports the\n [most popular extensions][all-available-extensions]. Tiger Cloud services do not support tablespaces,\n and there is no superuser associated with a service.\n Best practice is to create a Tiger Cloud service with at least 8 CPUs for a smoother experience. A higher-spec instance\n can significantly reduce the overall migration window.\n\n- To ensure that maintenance does not run during the process, [adjust the maintenance window][adjust-maintenance-window].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_hypercore-intro-short/ =====\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_caggs-intro/ =====\n\nIn modern applications, data usually grows very quickly. This means that aggregating\nit into useful summaries can become very slow. If you are collecting data very frequently, you might want to aggregate your\ndata into minutes or hours instead. For example, if an IoT device takes\ntemperature readings every second, you might want to find the average temperature\nfor each hour. Every time you run this query, the database needs to scan the\nentire table and recalculate the average. TimescaleDB makes aggregating data lightning fast, accurate, and easy with continuous aggregates.\n\n![Reduced data calls with continuous aggregates](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/continuous-aggregate.png)\n\nContinuous aggregates in TimescaleDB are a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically\nin the background as new data is added, or old data is modified. Changes to your\ndataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is\nautomatically updated in the background.\n\nContinuous aggregates have a much lower maintenance burden than regular Postgres materialized\nviews, because the whole view is not created from scratch on each refresh. This\nmeans that you can get on with working your data instead of maintaining your\ndatabase.\n\nBecause continuous aggregates are based on hypertables, you can query them in exactly the same way as your other tables. This includes continuous aggregates in the rowstore, compressed into the [columnstore][hypercore],\nor [tiered to object storage][data-tiering]. You can even create [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs], for an even more fine-tuned aggregation.\n\n[Real-time aggregation][real-time-aggregation] enables you to combine pre-aggregated data from the materialized view with the most recent raw data. This gives you up-to-date results on every query. In TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default. In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_kubernetes-prereqs/ =====\n\n- Install [self-managed Kubernetes][kubernetes-install] or sign up for a Kubernetes [Turnkey Cloud Solution][kubernetes-managed].\n- Install [kubectl][kubectl] for command-line interaction with your cluster.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_high-availability-setup/ =====\n\n1.

Your options are that\n each table and hypertable in the source database should either have:\n- **A primary key**: data replication defaults to the primary key of the table being replicated.\n Nothing to do.\n- **A viable unique index**: each table has a unique, non-partial, non-deferrable index that includes only columns\n marked as `NOT NULL`. If a UNIQUE index does not exist, create one to assist the migration. You can delete if after\n migration.\n\nFor each table, set `REPLICA IDENTITY` to the viable unique index:\n\n- **No primary key or viable unique index**: use brute force.\n\nFor each table, set `REPLICA IDENTITY` to `FULL`:\n \n For each `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statement, Postgres reads the whole table to find all matching rows. This results\n in significantly slower replication. If you are expecting a large number of `UPDATE` or `DELETE` operations on the table,\n best practice is to not use `FULL`.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_foreign-data-wrappers/ =====\n\nYou use Postgres foreign data wrappers (FDWs) to query external data sources from a Tiger Cloud service.

However, you can't create FDWs in your Tiger Cloud services to query a data source in your Customer VPC. This is because Tiger Cloud VPC peering uses AWS PrivateLink for increased security. See [VPC peering documentation][vpc-peering] for additional details.\n\nPostgres FDWs are particularly useful if you manage multiple Tiger Cloud services with different capabilities, and need to seamlessly access and merge regular and time-series data.\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\nYou need [your connection details][connection-info].

A lot of reasons are outlined in\n[Designing Your Database Schema: Wide vs. Narrow Postgres Tables][blog-wide-vs-narrow].\n\nOne of the key advantages of narrow tables is that the schema does not have to change when you add new\nsensors. Another big advantage is that each sensor can sample at different rates and times. This helps\nsupport things like hysteresis, where new values are written infrequently unless the value changes by a\ncertain amount.\n\n#### Narrow table format example\n\nWorking with narrow table data structures presents a few challenges. In the IoT world one concern is that\nmany data analysis approaches - including machine learning as well as more traditional data analysis -\nrequire that your data is resampled and synchronized to a common time basis. Fortunately, TimescaleDB provides\nyou with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions] and other tools to help you work with this data.\n\nAn example of a narrow table format is:\n\n| ts | sensor_id | value |\n|-------------------------|-----------|-------|\n| 2024-10-31 11:17:30.000 | 1007 | 23.45 |\n\nTypically you would couple this with a sensor table:\n\n| sensor_id | sensor_name | units |\n|-----------|--------------|--------------------------|\n| 1007 | temperature | degreesC |\n| 1012 | heat_mode | on/off |\n| 1013 | cooling_mode | on/off |\n| 1041 | occupancy | number of people in room |\n\nA medium table retains the generic structure but adds columns of various types so that you can\nuse the same table to store float, int, bool, or even JSON (jsonb) data:\n\n| ts | sensor_id | d | i | b | t | j |\n|-------------------------|-----------|-------|------|------|------|------|\n| 2024-10-31 11:17:30.000 | 1007 | 23.45 | null | null | null | null |\n| 2024-10-31 11:17:47.000 | 1012 | null | null | TRUE | null | null |\n| 2024-10-31 11:18:01.000 | 1041 | null | 4 | null | null | null |\n\nTo remove all-null entries, use an optional constraint such as:\n\n#### Get the last value of every sensor\n\nThere are several ways to get the latest value of every sensor. The following examples use the\nstructure defined in [Narrow table format example][setup-a-narrow-table-format] as a reference:\n\n- [SELECT DISTINCT ON][select-distinct-on]\n- [JOIN LATERAL][join-lateral]\n\n##### SELECT DISTINCT ON\n\nIf you have a list of sensors, the easy way to get the latest value of every sensor is to use\n`SELECT DISTINCT ON`:\n\nThe common table expression (CTE) used above is not strictly necessary. However, it is an elegant way to join\nto the sensor list to get a sensor name in the output. If this is not something you care about,\nyou can leave it out:\n\nIt is important to take care when down-selecting this data. In the previous examples,\nthe time that the query would scan back was limited. However, if there any sensors that have either\nnot reported in a long time or in the worst case, never reported, this query devolves to a full table scan.\nIn a database with 1000+ sensors and 41 million rows, an unconstrained query takes over an hour.\n\nAn alternative to [SELECT DISTINCT ON][select-distinct-on] is to use a `JOIN LATERAL`. By selecting your entire\nsensor list from the sensors table rather than pulling the IDs out using `SELECT DISTINCT`, `JOIN LATERAL` can offer\nsome improvements in performance:\n\nLimiting the time range is important, especially if you have a lot of data. Best practice is to use these\nkinds of queries for dashboards and quick status checks. To query over a much larger time range, encapsulate\nthe previous example into a materialized query that refreshes infrequently, perhaps once a day.\n\nShoutout to **Christopher Piggott** for this recipe.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_from_timescaledb_version/ =====\n\nIt is very important that the version of the TimescaleDB extension is the same\nin the source and target databases.

Modify the application to write to the target database\n\nHow exactly to do this is dependent on the language that your application is\nwritten in, and on how exactly your ingestion and application function. In the\nsimplest case, you simply execute two inserts in parallel. In the general case,\nyou must think about how to handle the failure to write to either the source or\ntarget database, and what mechanism you want to or can build to recover from\nsuch a failure.\n\nShould your time-series data have foreign-key references into a plain table,\nyou must ensure that your application correctly maintains the foreign key\nrelations. If the referenced column is a `*SERIAL` type, the same row inserted\ninto the source and target _may not_ obtain the same autogenerated id. If this\nhappens, the data backfilled from the source to the target is internally\ninconsistent. In the best case it causes a foreign key violation, in the worst\ncase, the foreign key constraint is maintained, but the data references the\nwrong foreign key. To avoid these issues, best practice is to follow\n[live migration].\n\nYou may also want to execute the same read queries on the source and target\ndatabase to evaluate the correctness and performance of the results which the\nqueries deliver. Bear in mind that the target database spends a certain amount\nof time without all data being present, so you should expect that the results\nare not the same for some period (potentially a number of days).\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_timescaledb_supported_linux/ =====\n\n| Operation system | Version |\n|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Debian | 13 Trixe, 12 Bookworm, 11 Bullseye |\n| Ubuntu | 24.04 Noble Numbat, 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish |\n| Red Hat Enterprise | Linux 9, Linux 8 |\n| Fedora | Fedora 35, Fedora 34, Fedora 33 |\n| Rocky Linux | Rocky Linux 9 (x86_64), Rocky Linux 8 |\n| ArchLinux (community-supported) | Check the [available packages][archlinux-packages] |\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_add-data-twelvedata-stocks/ =====\n\n## Load financial data\n\nThis tutorial uses real-time stock trade data, also known as tick data, from\n[Twelve Data][twelve-data].

One method is to run a `PARTITION BY` query to get\n`ROW_NUMBER()` and then the `ctid` of rows where `row_number>1`. You then delete these rows. However,\nyou need to check `tableoid` and `ctid`. This is because `ctid` is not unique and might be duplicated in\ndifferent chunks. The following code example took 17 hours to process a table with 40 million rows:\n\nShoutout to **Mathias Ose** and **Christopher Piggott** for this recipe.\n\n### Get faster JOIN queries with Common Table Expressions\n\nImagine there is a query that joins a hypertable to another table on a shared key:\n\nIf you run `EXPLAIN` on this query, you see that the query planner performs a `NestedJoin` between these two tables, which means querying the hypertable multiple times. Even if the hypertable is well indexed, if it is also large, the query will be slow. How do you force a once-only lookup? Use materialized Common Table Expressions (CTEs).\n\nIf you split the query into two parts using CTEs, you can `materialize` the hypertable lookup and force Postgres to perform it only once.\n\nNow if you run `EXPLAIN` once again, you see that this query performs only one lookup. Depending on the size of your hypertable, this could result in a multi-hour query taking mere seconds.\n\nShoutout to **Rowan Molony** for this recipe.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_experimental-private-beta/ =====\n\nThis feature is experimental and offered as part of a private beta.

This is a known limitation.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_create-hypertable/ =====\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\nTo create a hypertable:\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\nIn Tiger Cloud Console, click `Data`, then select a service.\n\n1. **Create a Postgres table**\n\nCopy the following into your query, then click `Run`:\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\nYou see the result immediately:\n\n![Data mode create table](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/data-mode-create-table.png)\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_pre_data_dump_source_schema/ =====\n\n- `--section=pre-data` is used to dump only the definition of tables,\n sequences, check constraints and inheritance hierarchy.

That’s where TimescaleDB hyperfunctions come in: high-performance, SQL-native functions purpose-built for time-series analysis. They are designed to process, aggregate, and analyze large volumes of data with maximum efficiency while maintaining consistently high performance. With hyperfunctions, you can run sophisticated analytical queries and extract meaningful insights in real time.\n\nHyperfunctions introduce partial aggregation, letting TimescaleDB store intermediate states instead of raw data or final results. These partials can be merged later for rollups (consolidation), eliminating costly reprocessing and slashing compute overhead, especially when paired with continuous aggregates.\n\nTake tracking p95 latency across thousands of app instances as an example:\n\n- With standard SQL, every rollup requires rescanning and resorting massive datasets.\n- With TimescaleDB, the `percentile_agg` hyperfunction stores a compact state per minute, which you simply merge to get hourly or daily percentiles—no full reprocess needed.\n\n![Tiger Cloud hyperfunctions](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/percentile_agg_hyperfunction.svg)\n\nThe result? Scalable, real-time percentile analytics that deliver fast, accurate insights across high-ingest, high-resolution data, while keeping resource use lean.\n\nTiger Cloud includes all hyperfunctions by default, while self-hosted TimescaleDB includes a subset of them. To include all hyperfunctions with TimescaleDB, install the [TimescaleDB Toolkit][install-toolkit] Postgres extension on your self-hosted Postgres deployment.\n\nFor more information, read the [hyperfunctions blog post][hyperfunctions-blog].\n\n## Learn hyperfunction basics and install TimescaleDB Toolkit\n\n* [Learn about hyperfunctions][about-hyperfunctions] to understand how they\n work before using them.\n* Install the [TimescaleDB Toolkit extension][install-toolkit] to access more\n hyperfunctions on self-hosted TimescaleDB.\n\n## Browse hyperfunctions and TimescaleDB Toolkit features by category\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hyperfunctions/hyperloglog/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting hyperfunctions and TimescaleDB Toolkit\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#troubleshooting-hyperfunctions-and-timescaledb-toolkit\n\n**Contents:**\n- Updating the Toolkit extension fails with an error saying `no update path`\n\nThis section contains some ideas for troubleshooting common problems experienced\nwith hyperfunctions and Toolkit.\n\n\n\n## Updating the Toolkit extension fails with an error saying `no update path`\n\nIn some cases, when you create the extension, or use the `ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb_toolkit UPDATE` command to\nupdate the Toolkit extension, it might fail with an error like this:\n\nThis occurs if the list of available extensions does not include the version you\nare trying to upgrade to, and it can occur if the package was not installed\ncorrectly in the first place.

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install and run [self-managed Grafana][grafana-self-managed], or sign up for [Grafana Cloud][grafana-cloud].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. **Import time-series data into a hypertable**\n\n1. Unzip [nyc_data.tar.gz](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/nyc_data.tar.gz) to a ``.\n\nThis test dataset contains historical data from New York's yellow taxi network.\n\nTo import up to 100GB of data directly from your current Postgres-based database,\n [migrate with downtime][migrate-with-downtime] using native Postgres tooling. To seamlessly import 100GB-10TB+\n of data, use the [live migration][migrate-live] tooling supplied by Tiger Data. To add data from non-Postgres\n data sources, see [Import and ingest data][data-ingest].\n\n1. In Terminal, navigate to `` and update the following string with [your connection details][connection-info]\n to connect to your service.\n\n1. Create an optimized hypertable for your time-series data:\n\n1. Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] with [hypercore][hypercore] enabled by default for your\n time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table]. For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes]\n on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will use most often to filter your data.\n\nIn your sql client, run the following command:\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. Add another dimension to partition your hypertable more efficiently:\n\n1. Create an index to support efficient queries by vendor, rate code, and passenger count:\n\n1. Create Postgres tables for relational data:\n\n1. Add a table to store the payment types data:\n\n1. Add a table to store the rates data:\n\n1. Upload the dataset to your service\n\n1. **Have a quick look at your data**\n\nYou query hypertables in exactly the same way as you would a relational Postgres table.\n Use one of the following SQL editors to run a query and see the data you uploaded:\n - **Data mode**: write queries, visualize data, and share your results in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode] for all your Tiger Cloud services.\n - **SQL editor**: write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode] for a Tiger Cloud service.\n - **psql**: easily run queries on your Tiger Cloud services or self-hosted TimescaleDB deployment from Terminal.\n\nFor example:\n - Display the number of rides for each fare type:\n \n This simple query runs in 3 seconds. You see something like:\n\n| rate_code | num_trips\t|\n |-----------------|-----------|\n |1 | 2266401|\n |2 | 54832|\n |3 | 4126|\n |4 | 967|\n |5 | 7193|\n |6 | 17|\n |99 | 42|\n\n- To select all rides taken in the first week of January 2016, and return the total number of trips taken for each rate code:\n \n On this large amount of data, this analytical query on data in the rowstore takes about 59 seconds. You see something like:\n\n| description\t| num_trips\t|\n |-----------------|-----------|\n | group ride | \t17 |\n | JFK\t | 54832 |\n | Nassau or Westchester | \t967 |\n | negotiated fare | \t7193 |\n | Newark | \t4126 |\n | standard rate | \t2266401 |\n\n## Optimize your data for real-time analytics\n\nWhen TimescaleDB converts a chunk to the columnstore, it automatically creates a different schema for your\ndata. TimescaleDB creates and uses custom indexes to incorporate the `segmentby` and `orderby` parameters when\nyou write to and read from the columstore.\n\nTo increase the speed of your analytical queries by a factor of 10 and reduce storage costs by up to 90%, convert data\nto the columnstore:\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\nIn [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your serviceusing [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Add a policy to convert chunks to the columnstore at a specific time interval**\n\nFor example, convert data older than 8 days old to the columstore:\n \n See [add_columnstore_policy][add_columnstore_policy].\n\nThe data you imported for this tutorial is from 2016, it was already added to the columnstore by default. However,\n you get the idea. To see the space savings in action, follow [Try the key Tiger Data features][try-timescale-features].\n\nJust to hit this one home, by converting cooling data to the columnstore, you have increased the speed of your analytical\nqueries by a factor of 10, and reduced storage by up to 90%.\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\nIn your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\nConfigure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n1. Click `Save & test`.\n\nGrafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n## Monitor performance over time\n\nA Grafana dashboard represents a view into the performance of a system, and each dashboard consists of one or\nmore panels, which represent information about a specific metric related to that system.\n\nTo visually monitor the volume of taxi rides over time:\n\n1. **Create the dashboard**\n\n1. On the `Dashboards` page, click `New` and select `New dashboard`.\n\n1. Click `Add visualization`.\n 1. Select the data source that connects to your Tiger Cloud service.\n The `Time series` visualization is chosen by default.\n ![Grafana create dashboard](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-configure-dashboard.png)\n 1. In the `Queries` section, select `Code`, then select `Time series` in `Format`.\n 1. Select the data range for your visualization:\n the data set is from 2016. Click the date range above the panel and set:\n - From: \n - To:\n\n1. **Combine TimescaleDB and Grafana functionality to analyze your data**\n\nCombine a TimescaleDB [time_bucket][use-time-buckets], with the Grafana `_timefilter()` function to set the\n `pickup_datetime` column as the filtering range for your visualizations.\n \n This query groups the results by day and orders them by time.\n\n![Grafana real-time analytics](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-final-dashboard.png)\n\n1. **Click `Save dashboard`**\n\n## Optimize revenue potential\n\nHaving all this data is great but how do you use it? Monitoring data is useful to check what\nhas happened, but how can you analyse this information to your advantage? This section explains\nhow to create a visualization that shows how you can maximize potential revenue.\n\n### Set up your data for geospatial queries\n\nTo add geospatial analysis to your ride count visualization, you need geospatial data to work out which trips\noriginated where. As TimescaleDB is compatible with all Postgres extensions, use [PostGIS][postgis] to slice\ndata by time and location.\n\n1. Connect to your [Tiger Cloud service][in-console-editors] and add the PostGIS extension:\n\n1. Add geometry columns for pick up and drop off locations:\n\n1. Convert the latitude and longitude points into geometry coordinates that work with PostGIS:\n\nThis updates 10,906,860 rows of data on both columns, it takes a while. Coffee is your friend.\n\n### Visualize the area where you can make the most money\n\nIn this section you visualize a query that returns rides longer than 5 miles for\ntrips taken within 2 km of Times Square. The data includes the distance travelled and\nis `GROUP BY` `trip_distance` and location so that Grafana can plot the data properly.\n\nThis enables you to see where a taxi driver is most likely to pick up a passenger who wants a longer ride,\nand make more money.\n\n1. **Create a geolocalization dashboard**\n\n1. In Grafana, create a new dashboard that is connected to your Tiger Cloud service data source with a Geomap\n visualization.\n\n1. In the `Queries` section, select `Code`, then select the Time series `Format`.\n\n![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-configure-dashboard.png)\n\n1. To find rides longer than 5 miles in Manhattan, paste the following query:\n\nYou see a world map with a dot on New York.\n 1. Zoom into your map to see the visualization clearly.\n\n1. **Customize the visualization**\n\n1. In the Geomap options, under `Map Layers`, click `+ Add layer` and select `Heatmap`.\n You now see the areas where a taxi driver is most likely to pick up a passenger who wants a\n longer ride, and make more money.\n\n![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-heatmap.png)\n\nYou have integrated Grafana with a Tiger Cloud service and made insights based on visualization of\nyour data.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/real-time-analytics-energy-consumption/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (bash):\n```bash\npsql -d \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE \"rides\"(\n vendor_id TEXT,\n pickup_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n dropoff_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n passenger_count NUMERIC,\n trip_distance NUMERIC,\n pickup_longitude NUMERIC,\n pickup_latitude NUMERIC,\n rate_code INTEGER,\n dropoff_longitude NUMERIC,\n dropoff_latitude NUMERIC,\n payment_type INTEGER,\n fare_amount NUMERIC,\n extra NUMERIC,\n mta_tax NUMERIC,\n tip_amount NUMERIC,\n tolls_amount NUMERIC,\n improvement_surcharge NUMERIC,\n total_amount NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='pickup_datetime',\n tsdb.create_default_indexes=false,\n tsdb.segmentby='vendor_id',\n tsdb.orderby='pickup_datetime DESC'\n );\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_dimension('rides', by_hash('payment_type', 2));\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE INDEX ON rides (vendor_id, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (rate_code, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (passenger_count, pickup_datetime DESC);\n```\n\n---\n\n## variance_y() | variance_x()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#variance_y()-|-variance_x()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-two-variables/skewness_y_x/ =====\n\n---\n\n## approx_percentile()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#approx_percentile()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/uddsketch/num_vals/ =====\n\n---\n\n## sum()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#sum()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-one-variable/stats_agg/ =====\n\n---\n\n## sum_y() | sum_x()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#sum_y()-|-sum_x()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-two-variables/kurtosis_y_x/ =====\n\n---\n\n## About TimescaleDB hyperfunctions\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#about-timescaledb-hyperfunctions\n\n**Contents:**\n- Available hyperfunctions\n- Function pipelines\n- Toolkit feature development\n- Contribute to TimescaleDB Toolkit\n\nTimescaleDB hyperfunctions are a specialized set of functions that power real-time analytics on time series and events.\nIoT devices, IT systems, marketing analytics, user behavior, financial metrics, cryptocurrency - these are only a few examples of domains where\nhyperfunctions can make a huge difference. Hyperfunctions provide you with meaningful, actionable insights in real time.\n\nTiger Cloud includes all hyperfunctions by default, while self-hosted TimescaleDB includes a subset of them. For\nadditional hyperfunctions, install the [TimescaleDB Toolkit][install-toolkit] Postgres extension.\n\n## Available hyperfunctions\n\nHere is a list of all the hyperfunctions provided by TimescaleDB. Hyperfunctions\nwith a tick in the `Toolkit` column require an installation of TimescaleDB Toolkit for self-hosted deployments. Hyperfunctions\nwith a tick in the `Experimental` column are still under development.\n\nExperimental features could have bugs. They might not be backwards compatible,\nand could be removed in future releases. Use these features at your own risk, and\ndo not use any experimental features in production.\n\nWhen you upgrade the `timescaledb` extension, the experimental schema is removed\nby default.

Average, sum, and count are all examples of simple\naggregates. However, with large amounts of data aggregation slows things down, quickly. Continuous aggregates\nare a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically in the background as new data is added, or old data is\nmodified. Changes to your dataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is automatically\nupdated in the background.\n\nBy default, querying continuous aggregates provides you with real-time data. Pre-aggregated data from the materialized\nview is combined with recent data that hasn't been aggregated yet. This gives you up-to-date results on every query.\n\nYou create continuous aggregates on uncompressed data in high-performance storage. They continue to work\non [data in the columnstore][test-drive-enable-compression]\nand [rarely accessed data in tiered storage][test-drive-tiered-storage]. You can even\ncreate [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs].\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on a day-to-day basis**\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_day_by_day` for energy consumption:\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep `kwh_day_by_day` up-to-date:\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on an hourly basis**\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_hour_by_hour` for energy consumption:\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n1. **Analyze your data**\n\nNow you have made continuous aggregates, it could be a good idea to use them to perform analytics on your data.\n For example, to see how average energy consumption changes during weekdays over the last year, run the following query:\n\nYou see something like:\n\n| day | ordinal | value |\n | --- | ------- | ----- |\n | Mon | 2 | 23.08078714975423 |\n | Sun | 1 | 19.511430831944395 |\n | Tue | 3 | 25.003118897837307 |\n | Wed | 4 | 8.09300571759772 |\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\nIn your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`.

The tenth percentile is the point at which 90% of the data is\ngreater, and 10% is lesser. The ninety-ninth percentile is the point at which 1%\nis greater, and 99% is lesser.\n\nThe fiftieth percentile, or median, is often a more useful measure than the average,\nespecially when your data contains outliers. Outliers can dramatically change\nthe average, but do not affect the median as much. For example, if you have\nthree rooms in your house and two of them are 40℉ (4℃) and one is 130℉ (54℃),\nthe average room temperature is 70℉ (21℃), which doesn't tell you much. However,\nthe fiftieth percentile temperature is 40℉ (4℃), which tells you that at least half\nyour rooms are at refrigerator temperatures (also, you should probably get your\nheating checked!)\n\nPercentiles are sometimes avoided because calculating them requires more CPU and\nmemory than an average or other aggregate measures. This is because an exact\ncomputation of the percentile needs the full dataset as an ordered list.\nTimescaleDB uses approximation algorithms to calculate a percentile without\nrequiring all of the data. This also makes them more compatible with continuous\naggregates. By default, TimescaleDB uses `uddsketch`, but you can also choose to\nuse `tdigest`. For more information about these algorithms, see the\n[advanced aggregation methods][advanced-agg] documentation.\n\nTechnically, a percentile divides a group into 100 equally sized pieces, while a\nquantile divides a group into an arbitrary number of pieces. Because we don't\nalways use exactly 100 buckets, \"quantile\" is the more technically correct term\nin this case. However, we use the word \"percentile\" because it's a more common\nword for this type of function.\n\n* For more information about how percentile approximation works, read our\n [percentile approximation blog][blog-percentile-approx].\n* For more information about percentile approximation API calls, see the\n [hyperfunction API documentation][hyperfunctions-api-approx-percentile].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hyperfunctions/advanced-agg/ =====\n\n---\n\n## stats_agg() (two variables)\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#stats_agg()-(two-variables)\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-two-variables/average_y_x/ =====\n\n---\n\n## skewness()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#skewness()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-one-variable/rolling/ =====\n\n---\n\n## rolling()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#rolling()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-two-variables/slope/ =====\n\n---\n\n## uddsketch()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#uddsketch()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/uddsketch/percentile_agg/ =====\n\n---\n\n## determination_coeff()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#determination_coeff()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-two-variables/variance_y_x/ =====\n\n---\n\n## approx_percentile_array()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#approx_percentile_array()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/counter_agg/delta/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Tiger Data architecture for real-time analytics\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#tiger-data-architecture-for-real-time-analytics\n\n**Contents:**\n- Introduction\n - What is real-time analytics?\n - Tiger Cloud: real-time analytics from Postgres\n- Data model\n - Efficient data partitioning\n - Row-columnar storage\n - Columnar storage layout\n - Data mutability\n- Query optimizations\n - Skip unnecessary data\n\nTiger Data has created a powerful application database for real-time analytics on time-series data.

\n\n### What is real-time analytics?\n\nReal-time analytics enables applications to process and query data as it is generated and as it accumulates, delivering immediate and ongoing insights for decision-making. Unlike traditional analytics, which relies on batch processing and delayed reporting, real-time analytics supports *both* instant queries on fresh data and fast exploration of historical trends—powering applications with sub-second query performance across vast, continuously growing datasets.\n\nMany modern applications depend on real-time analytics to drive critical functionality:\n\n* **IoT monitoring systems** track sensor data over time, identifying long-term performance patterns while still surfacing anomalies as they arise. This allows businesses to optimize maintenance schedules, reduce costs, and improve reliability.\n* **Financial and business intelligence platforms** analyze both current and historical data to detect trends, assess risk, and uncover opportunities—from tracking stock performance over a day, week, or year to identifying spending patterns across millions of transactions.\n* **Interactive customer dashboards** empower users to explore live and historical data in a seamless experience—whether it's a SaaS product providing real-time analytics on business operations, a media platform analyzing content engagement, or an e-commerce site surfacing personalized recommendations based on recent and past behavior.\n\nReal-time analytics isn't just about reacting to the latest data, although that is critically important. It's also about delivering fast, interactive, and scalable insights across all your data, enabling better decision-making and richer user experiences. Unlike traditional ad-hoc analytics used by analysts, real-time analytics powers applications—driving dynamic dashboards, automated decisions, and user-facing insights at scale.\n\nTo achieve this, real-time analytics systems must meet several key requirements:\n\n* **Low-latency queries** ensure sub-second response times even under high load, enabling fast insights for dashboards, monitoring, and alerting.\n* **Low-latency ingest** minimizes the lag between when data is created and when it becomes available for analysis, ensuring fresh and accurate insights.\n* **Data mutability** allows for efficient updates, corrections, and backfills, ensuring analytics reflect the most accurate state of the data.\n* **Concurrency and scalability** enable systems to handle high query volumes and growing workloads without degradation in performance.\n* **Seamless access to both recent and historical data** ensures fast queries across time, whether analyzing live, streaming data, or running deep historical queries on days or months of information.\n* **Query flexibility** provides full SQL support, allowing for complex queries with joins, filters, aggregations, and analytical functions.\n\n### Tiger Cloud: real-time analytics from Postgres\n\nTiger Cloud is a high-performance database that brings real-time analytics to applications. It combines fast queries,\nhigh ingest performance, and full SQL support—all while ensuring scalability and reliability. Tiger Cloud extends Postgres with the TimescaleDB extension. It enables sub-second queries on vast amounts of incoming data while providing optimizations designed for continuously updating datasets.\n\nTiger Cloud achieves this through the following optimizations:\n\n* **Efficient data partitioning:** automatically and transparently partitioning data into chunks, ensuring fast queries, minimal indexing overhead, and seamless scalability\n* **Row-columnar storage:** providing the flexibility of a row store for transactions and the performance of a column store for analytics\n* **Optimized query execution: **using techniques like chunk and batch exclusion, columnar storage, and vectorized execution to minimize latency\n* **Continuous aggregates:** precomputing analytical results for fast insights without expensive reprocessing\n* **Cloud-native operation: **compute/compute separation, elastic usage-based storage, horizontal scale out, data tiering to object storage\n* **Operational simplicity: **offering high availability, connection pooling, and automated backups for reliable and scalable real-time applications\n\nWith Tiger Cloud, developers can build low-latency, high-concurrency applications that seamlessly handle streaming data, historical queries, and real-time analytics while leveraging the familiarity and power of Postgres.\n\nToday's applications demand a database that can handle real-time analytics and transactional queries without sacrificing speed, flexibility, or SQL compatibility (including joins between tables). TimescaleDB achieves this with **hypertables**, which provide an automatic partitioning engine, and **hypercore**, a hybrid row-columnar storage engine designed to deliver high-performance queries and efficient compression (up to 95%) within Postgres.\n\n### Efficient data partitioning\n\nTimescaleDB provides hypertables, a table abstraction that automatically partitions data into chunks in real time (using time stamps or incrementing IDs) to ensure fast queries and predictable performance as datasets grow. Unlike traditional relational databases that require manual partitioning, hypertables automate all aspects of partition management, keeping locking minimal even under high ingest load.\n\nAt ingest time, hypertables ensure that Postgres can deal with a constant stream of data without suffering from table bloat and index degradation by automatically partitioning data across time. Because each chunk is ordered by time and has its own indexes and storage, writes are usually isolated to small, recent chunks—keeping index sizes small, improving cache locality, and reducing the overhead of vacuum and background maintenance operations. This localized write pattern minimizes write amplification and ensures consistently high ingest performance, even as total data volume grows.\n\nAt query time, hypertables efficiently exclude irrelevant chunks from the execution plan when the partitioning column is used in a `WHERE` clause. This architecture ensures fast query execution, avoiding the gradual slowdowns that affect non-partitioned tables as they accumulate millions of rows. Chunk-local indexes keep indexing overhead minimal, ensuring index operations scans remain efficient regardless of dataset size.\n\n
\n\n
\n\nHypertables are the foundation for all of TimescaleDB’s real-time analytics capabilities. They enable seamless data ingestion, high-throughput writes, optimized query execution, and chunk-based lifecycle management—including automated data retention (drop a chunk) and data tiering (move a chunk to object storage).\n\n### Row-columnar storage\n\nTraditional databases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics (columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing transactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore, ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a flexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\n### Columnar storage layout\n\nTimescaleDB’s columnar storage layout optimizes analytical query performance by structuring data efficiently on disk, reducing scan times, and maximizing compression rates. Unlike traditional row-based storage, where data is stored sequentially by row, columnar storage organizes and compresses data by column, allowing queries to retrieve only the necessary fields in batches rather than scanning entire rows. But unlike many column store implementations, TimescaleDB’s columnstore supports full mutability—inserts, upserts, updates, and deletes, even at the individual record level—with transactional guarantees. Data is also immediately visible to queries as soon as it is written.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n#### Columnar batches\n\nTimescaleDB uses columnar collocation and columnar compression within row-based storage to optimize analytical query performance while maintaining full Postgres compatibility. This approach ensures efficient storage, high compression ratios, and rapid query execution.\n\n
\n\n
\n\nA rowstore chunk is converted to a columnstore chunk by successfully grouping together sets of rows (typically up to 1000) into a single batch, then converting the batch into columnar form.\n\nEach compressed batch does the following:\n\n* Encapsulates columnar data in compressed arrays of up to 1,000 values per column, stored as a single entry in the underlying compressed table\n* Uses a column-major format within the batch, enabling efficient scans by co-locating values of the same column and allowing the selection of individual columns without reading the entire batch\n* Applies advanced compression techniques at the column level, including run-length encoding, delta encoding, and Gorilla compression, to significantly reduce storage footprint (by up to 95%) and improve I/O performance.\n\nWhile the chunk interval of rowstore and columnstore batches usually remains the same, TimescaleDB can also combine columnstore batches so they use a different chunk interval.\n\nThis architecture provides the benefits of columnar storage—optimized scans, reduced disk I/O, and improved analytical performance—while seamlessly integrating with Postgres’s row-based execution model.\n\n#### Segmenting and ordering data\n\nTo optimize query performance, TimescaleDB allows explicit control over how data is physically organized within columnar storage. By structuring data effectively, queries can minimize disk reads and execute more efficiently, using vectorized execution for parallel batch processing where possible.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n* **Group related data together to improve scan efficiency**: organizing rows into logical segments ensures that queries filtering by a specific value only scan relevant data sections. For example, in the above, querying for a specific ID is particularly fast. *(Implemented with SEGMENTBY.)*\n* **Sort data within segments to accelerate range queries**: defining a consistent order reduces the need for post-query sorting, making time-based queries and range scans more efficient. *(Implemented with ORDERBY.)*\n* **Reduce disk reads and maximize vectorized execution**: a well-structured storage layout enables efficient batch processing (Single Instruction, Multiple Data, or SIMD vectorization) and parallel execution, optimizing query performance.\n\nBy combining segmentation and ordering, TimescaleDB ensures that columnar queries are not only fast but also resource-efficient, enabling high-performance real-time analytics.\n\nTraditional databases force a trade-off between fast updates and efficient analytics. Fully immutable storage is impractical in real-world applications, where data needs to change. Asynchronous mutability—where updates only become visible after batch processing—introduces delays that break real-time workflows. In-place mutability, while theoretically ideal, is prohibitively slow in columnar storage, requiring costly decompression, segmentation, ordering, and recompression cycles.\n\nHypercore navigates these trade-offs with a hybrid approach that enables immediate updates without modifying compressed columnstore data in place. By staging changes in an interim rowstore chunk, hypercore allows updates and deletes to happen efficiently while preserving the analytical performance of columnar storage.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n#### Real-time writes without delays\n\nAll new data which is destined for a columnstore chunk is first written to an interim rowstore chunk, ensuring high-speed ingestion and immediate queryability. Unlike fully columnar systems that require ingestion to go through compression pipelines, hypercore allows fresh data to remain in a fast row-based structure before being later compressed into columnar format in ordered batches as normal.\n\nQueries transparently access both the rowstore and columnstore chunks, meaning applications always see the latest data instantly, regardless of its storage format.\n\n#### Efficient updates and deletes without performance penalties\n\nWhen modifying or deleting existing data, hypercore avoids the inefficiencies of both asynchronous updates and in-place modifications. Instead of modifying compressed storage directly, affected batches are decompressed and staged in the interim rowstore chunk, where changes are applied immediately.\n\nThese modified batches remain in row storage until they are recompressed and reintegrated into the columnstore (which happens automatically via a background process). This approach ensures updates are immediately visible, but without the expensive overhead of decompressing and rewriting entire chunks. This approach avoids:\n\n* The rigidity of immutable storage, which requires workarounds like versioning or copy-on-write strategies\n* The delays of asynchronous updates, where modified data is only visible after batch processing\n* The performance hit of in-place mutability, which makes compressed storage prohibitively slow for frequent updates\n* The restrictions some databases have on not altering the segmentation or ordering keys\n\n## Query optimizations\n\nReal-time analytics isn’t just about raw speed—it’s about executing queries efficiently, reducing unnecessary work, and maximizing performance. TimescaleDB optimizes every step of the query lifecycle to ensure that queries scan only what’s necessary, make use of data locality, and execute in parallel for sub-second response times over large datasets.\n\n### Skip unnecessary data\n\nTimescaleDB minimizes the amount of data a query touches, reducing I/O and improving execution speed:\n\n#### Primary partition exclusion (row and columnar)\n\nQueries automatically skip irrelevant partitions (chunks) based on the primary partitioning key (usually a timestamp), ensuring they only scan relevant data.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n#### Secondary partition exclusion (columnar)\n\nMin/max metadata allows queries filtering on correlated dimensions (e.g., `order_id` or secondary timestamps) to exclude chunks that don’t contain relevant data.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n#### Postgres indexes (row and columnar)\n\nUnlike many databases, TimescaleDB supports sparse indexes on columnstore data, allowing queries to efficiently locate specific values within both row-based and compressed columnar storage. These indexes enable fast lookups, range queries, and filtering operations that further reduce unnecessary data scans.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n#### Batch-level filtering (columnar)\n\nWithin each chunk, compressed columnar batches are organized using `SEGMENTBY` keys and ordered by `ORDERBY` columns. Indexes and min/max metadata can be used to quickly exclude batches that don’t match the query criteria.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n### Maximize locality\n\nOrganizing data for efficient access ensures queries are read in the most optimal order, reducing unnecessary random reads and reducing scans of unneeded data.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n* **Segmentation**: Columnar batches are grouped using `SEGMENTBY` to keep related data together, improving scan efficiency.\n* **Ordering**: Data within each batch is physically sorted using `ORDERBY`, increasing scan efficiency (and reducing I/O operations), enabling efficient range queries, and minimizing post-query sorting.\n* **Column selection**: Queries read only the necessary columns, reducing disk I/O, decompression overhead, and memory usage.\n\n### Parallelize execution\n\nOnce a query is scanning only the required columnar data in the optimal order, TimescaleDB is able to maximize performance through parallel execution. As well as using multiple workers, TimescaleDB accelerates columnstore query execution by using Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) vectorization, allowing modern CPUs to process multiple data points in parallel.\n\n
\n\n
\n\nThe TimescaleDB implementation of SIMD vectorization currently allows:\n\n* **Vectorized decompression**, which efficiently restores compressed data into a usable form for analysis.\n* **Vectorized filtering**, which rapidly applies filter conditions across data sets.\n* **Vectorized aggregation**, which performs aggregate calculations, such as sum or average, across multiple data points concurrently.\n\n## Accelerating queries with continuous aggregates\n\nAggregating large datasets in real time can be expensive, requiring repeated scans and calculations that strain CPU and I/O. While some databases attempt to brute-force these queries at runtime, compute and I/O are always finite resources—leading to high latency, unpredictable performance, and growing infrastructure costs as data volume increases.\n\n**Continuous aggregates**, the TimescaleDB implementation of incrementally updated materialized views, solve this\nby shifting computation from every query run to a single, asynchronous step after data is ingested. Only the time buckets that receive new or modified data are updated, and queries read precomputed results instead of scanning raw data—dramatically improving performance and efficiency.\n\n
\n\n
\n\nWhen you know the types of queries you'll need ahead of time, continuous aggregates allow you to pre-aggregate data along meaningful time intervals—such as per-minute, hourly, or daily summaries—delivering instant results without on-the-fly computation.\n\nContinuous aggregates also avoid the time-consuming and error-prone process of maintaining manual rollups, while continuing to offer data mutability to support efficient updates, corrections, and backfills. Whenever new data is inserted or modified in chunks which have been materialized, TimescaleDB stores invalidation records reflecting that these results are stale and need to be recomputed. Then, an asynchronous process re-computes regions that include invalidated data, and updates the materialized results. TimescaleDB tracks the lineage and dependencies between continuous aggregates and their underlying data, to ensure the continuous aggregates are regularly kept up-to-date. This happens in a resource-efficient manner, and where multiple invalidations can be coalesced into a single refresh (as opposed to refreshing any dependencies at write time, such as via a trigger-based approach).\n\nContinuous aggregates themselves are stored in hypertables, and they can be converted to columnar storage for compression, and raw data can be dropped, reducing storage footprint and processing cost. Continuous aggregates also support hierarchical rollups (e.g., hourly to daily to monthly) and real-time mode, which merges precomputed results with the latest ingested data to ensure accurate, up-to-date analytics.\n\nThis architecture enables scalable, low-latency analytics while keeping resource usage predictable—ideal for dashboards, monitoring systems, and any workload with known query patterns.\n\n### Hyperfunctions for real-time analytics\n\nReal-time analytics requires more than basic SQL functions—efficient computation is essential as datasets grow in size and complexity. Hyperfunctions, available through the `timescaledb_toolkit` extension, provide high-performance, SQL-native functions tailored for time-series analysis. These include advanced tools for gap-filling, percentile estimation, time-weighted averages, counter correction, and state tracking, among others.\n\nA key innovation of hyperfunctions is their support for partial aggregation, which allows TimescaleDB to store intermediate computational states rather than just final results. These partials can later be merged to compute rollups efficiently, avoiding expensive reprocessing of raw data and reducing compute overhead. This is especially effective when combined with continuous aggregates.\n\nConsider a real-world example: monitoring request latencies across thousands of application instances. You might want to compute p95 latency per minute, then roll that up into hourly and daily percentiles for dashboards or alerts. With traditional SQL, calculating percentiles requires a full scan and sort of all underlying data—making multi-level rollups computationally expensive.\n\nWith TimescaleDB, you can use the `percentile_agg` hyperfunction in a continuous aggregate to compute and store a partial aggregation state for each minute. This state efficiently summarizes the distribution of latencies for that time bucket, without storing or sorting all individual values. Later, to produce an hourly or daily percentile, you simply combine the stored partials—no need to reprocess the raw latency values.\n\nThis approach provides a scalable, efficient solution for percentile-based analytics. By combining hyperfunctions with continuous aggregates, TimescaleDB enables real-time systems to deliver fast, resource-efficient insights across high-ingest, high-resolution datasets—without sacrificing accuracy or flexibility.\n\n## Cloud-native architecture\n\nReal-time analytics requires a scalable, high-performance, and cost-efficient database that can handle high-ingest rates and low-latency queries without overprovisioning. Tiger Cloud is designed for elasticity, enabling independent scaling of storage and compute, workload isolation, and intelligent data tiering.\n\n### Independent storage and compute scaling\n\nReal-time applications generate continuous data streams while requiring instant querying of both fresh and historical data. Traditional databases force users to pre-provision fixed storage, leading to unnecessary costs or unexpected limits. Tiger Cloud eliminates this constraint by dynamically scaling storage based on actual usage:\n\n* Storage expands and contracts automatically as data is added or deleted, avoiding manual intervention.\n* Usage-based billing ensures costs align with actual storage consumption, eliminating large upfront allocations.\n* Compute can be scaled independently to optimize query execution, ensuring fast analytics across both recent and historical data.\n\nWith this architecture, databases grow alongside data streams, enabling seamless access to real-time and historical insights while efficiently managing storage costs.\n\n### Workload isolation for real-time performance\n\nBalancing high-ingest rates and low-latency analytical queries on the same system can create contention, slowing down performance. Tiger Cloud mitigates this by allowing read and write workloads to scale independently:\n\n* The primary database efficiently handles both ingestion and real-time rollups without disruption.\n* Read replicas scale query performance separately, ensuring fast analytics even under heavy workloads.\n\n
\n\n
\n\nThis separation ensures that frequent queries on fresh data don’t interfere with ingestion, making it easier to support live monitoring, anomaly detection, interactive dashboards, and alerting systems.\n\n### Intelligent data tiering for cost-efficient real-time analytics\n\nNot all real-time data is equally valuable—recent data is queried constantly, while older data is accessed less frequently. Tiger Cloud can be configured to automatically tier data to cheaper bottomless object storage, ensuring that hot data remains instantly accessible, while historical data is still available.\n\n
\n\n
\n\n* **Recent, high-velocity data** stays in high-performance storage for ultra-fast queries.\n* **Older, less frequently accessed data** is automatically moved to cost-efficient object storage but remains queryable and available for building continuous aggregates.\n\nWhile many systems support this concept of data cooling, TimescaleDB ensures that the data can still be queried from the same hypertable regardless of its current location. For real-time analytics, this means applications can analyze live data streams without worrying about storage constraints, while still maintaining access to long-term trends when needed.\n\n### Cloud-native database observability\n\nReal-time analytics doesn’t just require fast queries—it requires the ability to understand why queries are fast or slow, where resources are being used, and how performance changes over time. That’s why Tiger Cloud is built with deep observability features, giving developers and operators full visibility into their database workloads.\n\nAt the core of this observability is Insights, Tiger Cloud’s built-in query monitoring tool. Insights captures\nper-query\nstatistics from our whole fleet in real time, showing you exactly how your database is behaving under load. It tracks key metrics like execution time, planning time, number of rows read and returned, I/O usage, and buffer cache hit rates—not just for the database as a whole, but for each individual query.\n\nInsights lets you do the following:\n\n* Identify slow or resource-intensive queries instantly\n* Spot long-term performance regressions or trends\n* Understand query patterns and how they evolve over time\n* See the impact of schema changes, indexes, or continuous aggregates on workload performance\n* Monitor and compare different versions of the same query to optimize execution\n\nAll this is surfaced through an intuitive interface, available directly in Tiger Cloud, with no instrumentation or external monitoring infrastructure required.\n\nBeyond query-level visibility, Tiger Cloud also exposes metrics around service resource consumption, compression, continuous aggregates, and data tiering, allowing you to track how data moves through the system—and how those background processes impact storage and query performance.\n\nTogether, these observability features give you the insight and control needed to operate a real-time analytics database at scale, with confidence, clarity, and performance you can trust**.**\n\n## Ensuring reliability and scalability\n\nMaintaining high availability, efficient resource utilization, and data durability is essential for real-time applications. Tiger Cloud provides robust operational features to ensure seamless performance under varying workloads.\n\n* **High-availability (HA) replicas**: deploy multi-AZ HA replicas to provide fault tolerance and ensure minimal downtime. In the event of a primary node failure, replicas are automatically promoted to maintain service continuity.\n* **Connection pooling**: optimize database connections by efficiently managing and reusing them, reducing overhead and improving performance for high-concurrency applications.\n* **Backup and recovery**: leverage continuous backups, Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR), and automated snapshotting to protect against data loss. Restore data efficiently to minimize downtime in case of failures or accidental deletions.\n\nThese operational capabilities ensure Tiger Cloud remains reliable, scalable, and resilient, even under demanding real-time workloads.\n\nReal-time analytics is critical for modern applications, but traditional databases struggle to balance high-ingest performance, low-latency queries, and flexible data mutability. Tiger Cloud extends Postgres to solve this challenge, combining automatic partitioning, hybrid row-columnar storage, and intelligent compression to optimize both transactional and analytical workloads.\n\nWith continuous aggregates, hyperfunctions, and advanced query optimizations, Tiger Cloud ensures sub-second queries\neven on massive datasets that combine current and historic data. Its cloud-native architecture further enhances scalability with independent compute and storage scaling, workload isolation, and cost-efficient data tiering—allowing applications to handle real-time and historical queries seamlessly.\n\nFor developers, this means building high-performance, real-time analytics applications without sacrificing SQL compatibility, transactional guarantees, or operational simplicity.\n\nTiger Cloud delivers the best of Postgres, optimized for real-time analytics.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/about/pricing-and-account-management/ =====\n\n---\n\n## stddev()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#stddev()\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/_hyperfunctions/stats_agg-one-variable/rollup/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Approximate percentiles\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#approximate-percentiles\n\n**Contents:**\n- Run an approximate percentage query\n - Running an approximate percentage query\n\nTimescaleDB uses approximation algorithms to calculate a percentile without\nrequiring all of the data.

However, if you have a lot of data, this may take a long time.\n\n## Speed up data ingestion\n\nWhen you set `timescaledb.enable_direct_compress_copy` your data gets compressed in memory during ingestion with `COPY` statements.\nBy writing the compressed batches immediately in the columnstore, the IO footprint is significantly lower.\nAlso, the [columnstore policy][add_columnstore_policy] you set is less important, `INSERT` already produces compressed chunks.\n\nPlease note that this feature is a **tech preview** and not production-ready.\nUsing this feature could lead to regressed query performance and/or storage ratio, if the ingested batches are not\ncorrectly ordered or are of too high cardinality.\n\nTo enable in-memory data compression during ingestion:\n\n**Important facts**\n- High cardinality use cases do not produce good batches and lead to degreaded query performance.\n- The columnstore is optimized to store 1000 records per batch, which is the optimal format for ingestion per segment by.\n- WAL records are written for the compressed batches rather than the individual tuples.\n- Currently only `COPY` is support, `INSERT` will eventually follow.\n- Best results are achieved for batch ingestion with 1000 records or more, upper boundary is 10.000 records.\n- Continous Aggregates are **not** supported at the moment.\n\n## Optimize cooling data in the columnstore\n\nAs the data cools and becomes more suited for analytics, [add a columnstore policy][add_columnstore_policy] so your data\nis automatically converted to the columnstore after a specific time interval. This columnar format enables fast\nscanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical workloads while also saving significant storage space.\nIn the columnstore conversion, hypertable chunks are compressed by up to 98%, and organized for efficient,\nlarge-scale queries. This columnar format enables fast scanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical\nworkloads.\n\nTo optimize your data, add a columnstore policy:\n\nYou can also manually [convert chunks][convert_to_columnstore] in a hypertable to the columnstore.\n\n## Alter a hypertable\n\nYou can alter a hypertable, for example to add a column, by using the Postgres\n[`ALTER TABLE`][postgres-altertable] command. This works for both regular and\ndistributed hypertables.\n\n### Add a column to a hypertable\n\nYou add a column to a hypertable using the `ALTER TABLE` command. In this\nexample, the hypertable is named `conditions` and the new column is named\n`humidity`:\n\nIf the column you are adding has the default value set to `NULL`, or has no\ndefault value, then adding a column is relatively fast. If you set the default\nto a non-null value, it takes longer, because it needs to fill in this value for\nall existing rows of all existing chunks.\n\n### Rename a hypertable\n\nYou can change the name of a hypertable using the `ALTER TABLE` command.

Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nWhen you convert chunks from the rowstore to the columnstore, multiple records are grouped into a single row.\nThe columns of this row hold an array-like structure that stores all the data. For example, data in the following\nrowstore chunk:\n\n| Timestamp | Device ID | Device Type | CPU |Disk IO|\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n|12:00:01|A|SSD|70.11|13.4|\n|12:00:01|B|HDD|69.70|20.5|\n|12:00:02|A|SSD|70.12|13.2|\n|12:00:02|B|HDD|69.69|23.4|\n|12:00:03|A|SSD|70.14|13.0|\n|12:00:03|B|HDD|69.70|25.2|\n\nIs converted and compressed into arrays in a row in the columnstore:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|[12:00:01, 12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:02, 12:00:03, 12:00:03]|[A, B, A, B, A, B]|[SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD]|[70.11, 69.70, 70.12, 69.69, 70.14, 69.70]|[13.4, 20.5, 13.2, 23.4, 13.0, 25.2]|\n\nBecause a single row takes up less disk space, you can reduce your chunk size by up to 98%, and can also\nspeed up your queries. This saves on storage costs, and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.\n\nFor an in-depth explanation of how hypertables and hypercore work, see the [Data model][data-model].\n\nThis page shows you how to get the best results when you set a policy to automatically convert chunks in a hypertable\nfrom the rowstore to the columnstore.\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with real-time analytics enabled.\n\nYou need your [connection details][connection-info].\n\nThe code samples in this page use the [crypto_sample.zip](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/candlestick/crypto_sample.zip) data from [this key features tutorial][ingest-data].\n\n## Optimize your data with columnstore policies\n\nThe compression ratio and query performance of data in the columnstore is dependent on the order and structure of your\ndata. Rows that change over a dimension should be close to each other. With time-series data, you `orderby` the time\ndimension. For example, `Timestamp`:\n\n| Timestamp | Device ID | Device Type | CPU |Disk IO|\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n|12:00:01|A|SSD|70.11|13.4|\n\nThis ensures that records are compressed and accessed in the same order. However, you would always have to\naccess the data using the time dimension, then filter all the rows using other criteria. To make your queries more\nefficient, you segment your data based on the following:\n\n- The way you want to access it. For example, to rapidly access data about a\nsingle device, you `segmentby` the `Device ID` column. This enables you to run much faster analytical queries on\ndata in the columnstore.\n- The compression rate you want to achieve. The [lower the cardinality][cardinality-blog] of the `segmentby` column, the better compression results you get.\n\nWhen TimescaleDB converts a chunk to the columnstore, it automatically creates a different schema for your\ndata. It also creates and uses custom indexes to incorporate the `segmentby` and `orderby` parameters when\nyou write to and read from the columnstore.\n\nTo set up your hypercore automation:\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\nIn [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Enable columnstore on a hypertable**\n\nCreate a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data. For example:\n\n* [Use `CREATE TABLE` for a hypertable][hypertable-create-table]\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n* [Use `ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW` for a continuous aggregate][compression_continuous-aggregate]\n \n Before you say `huh`, a continuous aggregate is a specialized hypertable.\n\n1. **Add a policy to convert chunks to the columnstore at a specific time interval**\n\nCreate a [columnstore_policy][add_columnstore_policy] that automatically converts chunks in a hypertable to the columnstore at a specific time interval. For example, convert yesterday's crypto trading data to the columnstore:\n\nTimescaleDB is optimized for fast updates on compressed data in the columnstore.

For columns with few\nrepeated values, [XOR-based][xor] and [dictionary compression][dictionary] is used.

Under the hood, this is achieved by using hypertables—Postgres tables that automatically partition your time-series data by time and optionally by other dimensions. When you run a query, Tiger Cloud identifies the correct partition, called chunk, and runs the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n![Hypertable structure](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable.png)\n\nHypertables offer the following benefits:\n\n- **Efficient data management with [automated partitioning by time][chunk-size]**: Tiger Cloud splits your data into chunks that hold data from a specific time range. For example, one day or one week. You can configure this range to better suit your needs.\n\n- **Better performance with [strategic indexing][hypertable-indexes]**: an index on time in the descending order is automatically created when you create a hypertable. More indexes are created on the chunk level, to optimize performance. You can create additional indexes, including unique indexes, on the columns you need.\n\n- **Faster queries with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping]**: Tiger Cloud skips the chunks that are irrelevant in the context of your query, dramatically reducing the time and resources needed to fetch results. Even more—you can enable chunk skipping on non-partitioning columns.\n\n- **Advanced data analysis with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions]**: Tiger Cloud enables you to efficiently process, aggregate, and analyze significant volumes of data while maintaining high performance.\n\nTo top it all, there is no added complexity—you interact with hypertables in the same way as you would with regular Postgres tables. All the optimization magic happens behind the scenes.\n\nInheritance is not supported for hypertables and may lead to unexpected behavior.\n\nFor more information about using hypertables, including chunk size partitioning,\nsee the [hypertable section][hypertable-docs].\n\n## The hypertable workflow\n\nBest practice for using a hypertable is to:\n\n1. **Create a hypertable**\n\nCreate a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data.

You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Set the columnstore policy**\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypercore/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby = 'device',\n tsdb.orderby = 'time DESC'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCALL add_columnstore_policy('conditions', after => INTERVAL '1d');\n```\n\n---\n\n## Create foreign keys in a distributed hypertable\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#create-foreign-keys-in-a-distributed-hypertable\n\n**Contents:**\n- Creating foreign keys in a distributed hypertable\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\nTables and values referenced by a distributed hypertable must be present on the\naccess node and all data nodes. To create a foreign key from a distributed\nhypertable, use [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] to first create the\nreferenced table on all nodes.\n\n## Creating foreign keys in a distributed hypertable\n\n1. Create the referenced table on the access node.\n1. Use [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] to create the same table on all\n data nodes and update it with the correct data.\n1. Create a foreign key from your distributed hypertable to your referenced\n table.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/triggers/ =====\n\n---\n\n## CREATE TABLE\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#create-table\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Arguments\n- Returns\n\nCreate a [hypertable][hypertable-docs] partitioned on a single dimension with [columnstore][hypercore] enabled, or\ncreate a standard Postgres relational table.\n\nA hypertable is a specialized Postgres table that automatically partitions your data by time. All actions that work on a\nPostgres table, work on hypertables. For example, [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore] and [SELECT][sql-select]. By default,\na hypertable is partitioned on the time dimension. To add secondary dimensions to a hypertable, call\n[add_dimension][add-dimension]. To convert an existing relational table into a hypertable, call\n[create_hypertable][create_hypertable].\n\nAs the data cools and becomes more suited for analytics, [add a columnstore policy][add_columnstore_policy] so your data\nis automatically converted to the columnstore after a specific time interval. This columnar format enables fast\nscanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical workloads while also saving significant storage space.\nIn the columnstore conversion, hypertable chunks are compressed by up to 98%, and organized for efficient,\nlarge-scale queries. This columnar format enables fast scanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical\nworkloads. You can also manually [convert chunks][convert_to_columnstore] in a hypertable to the columnstore.\n\nHypertable to hypertable foreign keys are not allowed, all other combinations are permitted.\n\nThe [columnstore][hypercore] settings are applied on a per-chunk basis. You can change the settings by calling [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore] without first converting the entire hypertable back to the [rowstore][hypercore]. The new settings apply only to the chunks that have not yet been converted to columnstore, the existing chunks in the columnstore do not change. Similarly, if you [remove an existing columnstore policy][remove_columnstore_policy] and then [add a new one][add_columnstore_policy], the new policy applies only to the unconverted chunks. This means that chunks with different columnstore settings can co-exist in the same hypertable.\n\nTimescaleDB calculates default columnstore settings for each chunk when it is created. These settings apply to each chunk, and not the entire hypertable. To explicitly disable the defaults, set a setting to an empty string.\n\n`CREATE TABLE` extends the standard Postgres [CREATE TABLE][pg-create-table]. This page explains the features and\narguments specific to TimescaleDB.\n\nSince [TimescaleDB v2.20.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.20.0)\n\n- **Create a hypertable partitioned on the time dimension and enable columnstore**:\n\n1.

You use the high-performance tier for data that requires quick access, and the object tier for rarely used historical data. Tiering policies move older data asynchronously and periodically from high-performance to low-cost storage, sparing you the need to do it manually. Chunks from a single hypertable, including compressed chunks, can stretch across these two storage tiers.\n\n![Tiger Cloud tiered storage](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/timescale-tiered-storage-architecture.png)\n\n## High-performance storage\n\nHigh-performance storage is where your data is stored by default, until you [enable tiered storage][manage-tiering] and [move older data to the low-cost tier][move-data]. In the high-performance storage, your data is stored in the block format and optimized for frequent querying. The [hypercore row-columnar storage engine][hypercore] available in this tier is designed specifically for real-time analytics. It enables you to compress the data in the high-performance storage by up to 90%, while improving performance. Coupled with other optimizations, Tiger Cloud high-performance storage makes sure your data is always accessible and your queries run at lightning speed.\n\nTiger Cloud high-performance storage comes in the following types:\n\n- **Standard** (default): based on [AWS EBS gp3][aws-gp3] and designed for general workloads. Provides up to 16 TB of storage and 16,000 IOPS.\n- **Enhanced**: based on [EBS io2][ebs-io2] and designed for high-scale, high-throughput workloads. Provides up to 64 TB of storage and 32,000 IOPS.\n\n[See the differences][aws-storage-types] in the underlying AWS storage. You [enable enhanced storage][enable-enhanced] as needed in Tiger Cloud Console.\n\n\n\nOnce you [enable tiered storage][manage-tiering], you can start moving rarely used data to the object tier. The object tier is based on AWS S3 and stores your data in the [Apache Parquet][parquet] format. Within a Parquet file, a set of rows is grouped together to form a row group. Within a row group, values for a single column across multiple rows are stored together. The original size of the data in your service, compressed or uncompressed, does not correspond directly to its size in S3. A compressed hypertable may even take more space in S3 than it does in Tiger Cloud.\n\nApache Parquet allows for more efficient scans across longer time periods, and Tiger Cloud uses other metadata and query optimizations to reduce the amount of data that needs to be fetched to satisfy a query, such as:\n\n- **Chunk skipping**: exclude the chunks that fall outside the query time window.\n- **Row group skipping**: identify the row groups within the Parquet object that satisfy the query.\n- **Column skipping**: fetch only columns that are requested by the query.\n\nThe following query is against a tiered dataset and illustrates the optimizations:\n\n`EXPLAIN` illustrates which chunks are being pulled in from the object storage tier:\n\n1. Fetch data from chunks 42, 43, and 44 from the object storage tier.\n1. Skip row groups and limit the fetch to a subset of the offsets in the\n Parquet object that potentially match the query filter. Only fetch the data\n for `device_uuid`, `sensor_id`, and `observed_at` as the query needs only these 3 columns.\n\nThe object storage tier is more than an archiving solution. It is also:\n\n- **Cost-effective:** store high volumes of data at a lower cost. You pay only for what you store, with no extra cost for queries.\n- **Scalable:** scale past the restrictions of even the enhanced high-performance storage tier.\n- **Online:** your data is always there and can be [queried when needed][querying-tiered-data].\n\nBy default, tiered data is not included when you query from a Tiger Cloud service. To access tiered data, you [enable tiered reads][querying-tiered-data] for a query, a session, or even for all sessions. After you enable tiered reads, when you run regular SQL queries, a behind-the-scenes process transparently pulls data from wherever it's located: the standard high-performance storage tier, the object storage tier, or both. You can `JOIN` against tiered data, build views, and even define continuous aggregates on it. In fact, because the implementation of continuous aggregates also uses hypertables, they can be tiered to low-cost storage as well.\n\nFor low-cost storage, Tiger Data charges only for the size of your data in S3 in the Apache Parquet format, regardless of whether it was compressed in Tiger Cloud before tiering. There are no additional expenses, such as data transfer or compute.\n\nThe low-cost storage tier comes with the following limitations:\n\n- **Limited schema modifications**: some schema modifications are not allowed\n on hypertables with tiered chunks.\n\n_Allowed_ modifications include: renaming the hypertable, adding columns\n with `NULL` defaults, adding indexes, changing or renaming the hypertable\n schema, and adding `CHECK` constraints. For `CHECK` constraints, only\n untiered data is verified.\n Columns can also be deleted, but you cannot subsequently add a new column\n to a tiered hypertable with the same name as the now-deleted column.\n\n_Disallowed_ modifications include: adding a column with non-`NULL`\n defaults, renaming a column, changing the data type of a\n column, and adding a `NOT NULL` constraint to the column.\n\n- **Limited data changes**: you cannot insert data into, update, or delete a\n tiered chunk. These limitations take effect as soon as the chunk is\n scheduled for tiering.\n\n- **Inefficient query planner filtering for non-native data types**: the query\n planner speeds up reads from our object storage tier by using metadata\n to filter out columns and row groups that don't satisfy the query. This works for all\n native data types, but not for non-native types, such as `JSON`, `JSONB`,\n and `GIS`.\n\n* **Latency**: S3 has higher access latency than local storage. This can affect the\n execution time of queries in latency-sensitive environments, especially\n lighter queries.\n\n* **Number of dimensions**: you cannot use tiered storage with hypertables\n partitioned on more than one dimension.

You need to create the\nview first, then enable a policy to keep the view refreshed. You can create the\nview on a hypertable, or on top of another continuous aggregate. You can have\nmore than one continuous aggregate on each source table or view.\n\nContinuous aggregates require a `time_bucket` on the time partitioning column of\nthe hypertable.\n\nBy default, views are automatically refreshed. You can adjust this by setting\nthe [WITH NO DATA](#using-the-with-no-data-option) option. Additionally, the\nview can not be a [security barrier view][postgres-security-barrier].\n\nContinuous aggregates use hypertables in the background, which means that they\nalso use chunk time intervals. By default, the continuous aggregate's chunk time\ninterval is 10 times what the original hypertable's chunk time interval is. For\nexample, if the original hypertable's chunk time interval is 7 days, the\ncontinuous aggregates that are on top of it have a 70 day chunk time\ninterval.\n\n## Create a continuous aggregate\n\nIn this example, we are using a hypertable called `conditions`, and creating a\ncontinuous aggregate view for daily weather data. The `GROUP BY` clause must\ninclude a `time_bucket` expression which uses time dimension column of the\nhypertable. Additionally, all functions and their arguments included in\n`SELECT`, `GROUP BY`, and `HAVING` clauses must be\n[immutable][postgres-immutable].\n\n### Creating a continuous aggregate\n\n1. At the `psql`prompt, create the materialized view:\n\nTo create a continuous aggregate within a transaction block, use the [WITH NO DATA option][with-no-data].\n\nTo improve continuous aggregate performance, [set `timescaledb.invalidate_using = 'wal'`][create_materialized_view] Since [TimescaleDB v2.22.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.22.0).\n\n1. Create a policy to refresh the view every hour:\n\nYou can use most Postgres aggregate functions in continuous aggregations. To\nsee what Postgres features are supported, check the\n[function support table][cagg-function-support].\n\n## Choosing an appropriate bucket interval\n\nContinuous aggregates require a `time_bucket` on the time partitioning column of\nthe hypertable. The time bucket allows you to define a time interval, instead of\nhaving to use specific timestamps. For example, you can define a time bucket as\nfive minutes, or one day.\n\nYou can't use [time_bucket_gapfill][api-time-bucket-gapfill] directly in a\ncontinuous aggregate. This is because you need access to previous data to\ndetermine the gapfill content, which isn't yet available when you create the\ncontinuous aggregate. You can work around this by creating the continuous\naggregate using [`time_bucket`][api-time-bucket], then querying the continuous\naggregate using `time_bucket_gapfill`.\n\n## Using the WITH NO DATA option\n\nBy default, when you create a view for the first time, it is populated with\ndata. This is so that the aggregates can be computed across the entire\nhypertable. If you don't want this to happen, for example if the table is very\nlarge, or if new data is being continuously added, you can control the order in\nwhich the data is refreshed. You can do this by adding a manual refresh with\nyour continuous aggregate policy using the `WITH NO DATA` option.\n\nThe `WITH NO DATA` option allows the continuous aggregate to be created\ninstantly, so you don't have to wait for the data to be aggregated. Data begins\nto populate only when the policy begins to run. This means that only data newer\nthan the `start_offset` time begins to populate the continuous aggregate. If you\nhave historical data that is older than the `start_offset` interval, you need to\nmanually refresh the history up to the current `start_offset` to allow real-time\nqueries to run efficiently.\n\n### Creating a continuous aggregate with the WITH NO DATA option\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, create the view:\n\n1. Manually refresh the view:\n\n## Create a continuous aggregate with a JOIN\n\nIn TimescaleDB V2.10 and later, with Postgres v12 or later, you can\ncreate a continuous aggregate with a query that also includes a `JOIN`. For\nexample:\n\nFor more information about creating a continuous aggregate with a `JOIN`,\nincluding some additional restrictions, see the\n[about continuous aggregates section](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/continuous-aggregates/about-continuous-aggregates/#continuous-aggregates-with-a-join-clause).\n\n## Query continuous aggregates\n\nWhen you have created a continuous aggregate and set a refresh policy, you can\nquery the view with a `SELECT` query. You can only specify a single hypertable\nin the `FROM` clause. Including more hypertables, tables, views, or subqueries\nin your `SELECT` query is not supported. Additionally, make sure that the\nhypertable you are querying does not have\n[row-level-security policies][postgres-rls]\nenabled.\n\n### Querying a continuous aggregate\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, query the continuous aggregate view called\n `conditions_summary_hourly` for the average, minimum, and maximum\n temperatures for the first quarter of 2021 recorded by device 5:\n\n1. Alternatively, query the continuous aggregate view called\n `conditions_summary_hourly` for the top 20 largest metric spreads in that\n quarter:\n\n## Use continuous aggregates with mutable functions: experimental\n\nMutable functions have experimental supported in the continuous aggregate query definition. Mutable functions are enabled\nby default. However, if you use them in a materialized query a warning is returned.\n\nWhen using non-immutable functions you have to ensure these functions produce consistent results across\ncontinuous aggregate refresh runs. For example, if a function depends on the current time zone you have\nto ensure all your continuous aggregate refreshes run with a consistent setting for this.\n\n## Use continuous aggregates with window functions: experimental\n\nWindow functions have experimental supported in the continuous aggregate query definition. Window functions are disabled\n by default. To enable them, set `timescaledb.enable_cagg_window_functions` to `true`.\n\nSupport is experimental, there is a risk of data inconsistency. For example, in backfill scenarios, buckets could be missed.\n\n### Create a window function\n\nTo use a window function in a continuous aggregate:\n\n1. Create a simple table with to store a value at a specific time:\n\n1. Enable window functions.\n\nAs window functions are experimental, in order to create continuous aggregates with window functions.\n you have to `enable_cagg_window_functions`.\n\n1. Bucket your data by `time` and calculate the delta between time buckets using the `lag` window function:\n\nWindow functions must stay within the time bucket. Any query that tries to look beyond the current\n time bucket will produce incorrect results around the refresh boundaries.\n \n Window functions that partition by time_bucket should be safe even with LAG()/LEAD()\n\n### Window function workaround for older versions of TimescaleDB\n\nFor TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, continuous aggregates do not support window functions. To work around this:\n\n1. Create a simple table with to store a value at a specific time:\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate that does not use a window function:\n\n1. Use the `lag` window function on your continuous aggregate at query time:\n\nThis speeds up your query by calculating the aggregation ahead of time. The\n delta is calculated at query time.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/continuous-aggregates/hierarchical-continuous-aggregates/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_summary_daily\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT device,\n time_bucket(INTERVAL '1 day', time) AS bucket,\n AVG(temperature),\n MAX(temperature),\n MIN(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n GROUP BY device, bucket;\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('conditions_summary_daily',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '1 month',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW cagg_rides_view\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT vendor_id,\n time_bucket('1h', pickup_datetime) AS hour,\n count(*) total_rides,\n avg(fare_amount) avg_fare,\n max(trip_distance) as max_trip_distance,\n min(trip_distance) as min_trip_distance\n FROM rides\n GROUP BY vendor_id, time_bucket('1h', pickup_datetime)\n WITH NO DATA;\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nCALL refresh_continuous_aggregate('cagg_rides_view', NULL, localtimestamp - INTERVAL '1 week');\n```\n\n---\n\n## ALTER TABLE (hypercore)\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#alter-table-(hypercore)\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Arguments\n\nEnable the columnstore or change the columnstore settings for a hypertable.

This saves on storage costs, and keeps your queries operating at\nlightning speed.\n\nWhen you enable compression, the data in your hypertable is compressed chunk by\nchunk. When the chunk is compressed, multiple records are grouped into a single\nrow. The columns of this row hold an array-like structure that stores all the\ndata. This means that instead of using lots of rows to store the data, it stores\nthe same data in a single row. Because a single row takes up less disk space\nthan many rows, it decreases the amount of disk space required, and can also\nspeed up your queries.\n\nFor example, if you had a table with data that looked a bit like this:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|12:00:01|A|SSD|70.11|13.4|\n|12:00:01|B|HDD|69.70|20.5|\n|12:00:02|A|SSD|70.12|13.2|\n|12:00:02|B|HDD|69.69|23.4|\n|12:00:03|A|SSD|70.14|13.0|\n|12:00:03|B|HDD|69.70|25.2|\n\nYou can convert this to a single row in array form, like this:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|[12:00:01, 12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:02, 12:00:03, 12:00:03]|[A, B, A, B, A, B]|[SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD]|[70.11, 69.70, 70.12, 69.69, 70.14, 69.70]|[13.4, 20.5, 13.2, 23.4, 13.0, 25.2]|\n\nThis section explains how to enable native compression, and then goes into\ndetail on the most important settings for compression, to help you get the\nbest possible compression ratio.\n\n## Key aspects of compression\n\nEvery table has a different schema but they do share some commonalities that you need to think about.\n\nConsider the table `metrics` with the following attributes:\n\n|Column|Type|Collation|Nullable|Default|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n time|timestamp with time zone|| not null|\n device_id| integer|| not null|\n device_type| integer|| not null|\n cpu| double precision|||\n disk_io| double precision|||\n\nAll hypertables have a primary dimension which is used to partition the table into chunks. The primary dimension is given when [the hypertable is created][hypertable-create-table]. In the example below, you can see a classic time-series use case with a `time` column as the primary dimension. In addition, there are two columns `cpu` and `disk_io` containing the values that are captured over time, and a column `device_id` for the device that captured the values.\nColumns can be used in a few different ways:\n- You can use values in a column as a lookup key, in the example above `device_id` is a typical example of such a column.\n- You can use a column for partitioning a table. This is typically a time column like `time` in the example above, but it is possible to partition the table using other types as well.\n- You can use a column as a filter to narrow down on what data you select. The column `device_type` is an example of where you can decide to look at, for example, only solid state drives (SSDs).\nThe remaining columns are typically the values or metrics you are collecting. These are typically aggregated or presented in other ways. The columns `cpu` and `disk_io` are typical examples of such columns.\n\n= now() - ‘1 day’::interval;\n`} />\n\nWhen chunks are compressed in a hypertable, data stored in them is reorganized and stored in column-order rather than row-order. As a result, it is not possible to use the same uncompressed schema version of the chunk and a different schema must be created. This is automatically handled by TimescaleDB, but it has a few implications:\nThe compression ratio and query performance is very dependent on the order and structure of the compressed data, so some considerations are needed when setting up compression.\nIndexes on the hypertable cannot always be used in the same manner for the compressed data.\n\nIndexes set on the hypertable are used only on chunks containing uncompressed\ndata. TimescaleDB creates and uses custom indexes to incorporate the `segmentby`\nand `orderby` parameters during compression which are used when reading compressed data.\nMore on this in the next section.\n\nBased on the previous schema, filtering of data should happen over a certain time period and analytics are done on device granularity. This pattern of data access lends itself to organizing the data layout suitable for compression.\n\n### Ordering and segmenting.\n\nOrdering the data will have a great impact on the compression ratio and performance of your queries. Rows that change over a dimension should be close to each other. Since we are mostly dealing with time-series data, time dimension is a great candidate. Most of the time data changes in a predictable fashion, following a certain trend. We can exploit this fact to encode the data so it takes less space to store. For example, if you order the records over time, they will get compressed in that order and subsequently also accessed in the same order.\n\nUsing the following configuration setup on our example table:\n\n\nwould produce the following data layout.\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|\n|[12:00:01, 12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:02, 12:00:03, 12:00:03]|[A, B, A, B, A, B]|[SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD]|[70.11, 69.70, 70.12, 69.69, 70.14, 69.70]|[13.4, 20.5, 13.2, 23.4, 13.0, 25.2]|\n\n`time` column is used for ordering data, which makes filtering it using `time` column much more efficient.\n\n= '2024-03-01 00:00:00+01' and time < '2024-03-02 00:00:00+01';\n avg\n--------------------\n 0.4996848437842719\n(1 row)\nTime: 87,218 ms\npostgres=# ALTER TABLE metrics\nSET (\n\ttimescaledb.compress,\n\ttimescaledb.compress_segmentby = 'device_id',\n\ttimescaledb.compress_orderby='time'\n);\nALTER TABLE\nTime: 6,607 ms\npostgres=# SELECT compress_chunk(c) FROM show_chunks('metrics') c;\n compress_chunk\n----------------------------------------\n _timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_4_chunk\n _timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_5_chunk\n _timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_6_chunk\n(3 rows)\nTime: 3070,626 ms (00:03,071)\npostgres=# select avg(cpu) from metrics where time >= '2024-03-01 00:00:00+01' and time < '2024-03-02 00:00:00+01';\n avg\n------------------\n 0.49968484378427\n(1 row)\nTime: 45,384 ms\n`} />\n\nThis makes the time column a perfect candidate for ordering your data since the measurements evolve as time goes on. If you were to use that as your only compression setting, you would most likely get a good enough compression ratio to save a lot of storage. However, accessing the data effectively depends on your use case and your queries. With this setup, you would always have to access the data by using the time dimension and subsequently filter all the rows based on any other criteria.\n\nSegmenting the compressed data should be based on the way you access the data. Basically, you want to segment your data in such a way that you can make it easier for your queries to fetch the right data at the right time. That is to say, your queries should dictate how you segment the data so they can be optimized and yield even better query performance.\n\nFor example, If you want to access a single device using a specific `device_id` value (either all records or maybe for a specific time range), you would need to filter all those records one by one during row access time. To get around this, you can use device_id column for segmenting. This would allow you to run analytical queries on compressed data much faster if you are looking for specific device IDs.\n\nConsider the following query:\n\n\n\nAs you can see, the query does a lot of work based on the `device_id` identifier by grouping all its values together. We can use this fact to speed up these types of queries by setting\nup compression to segment the data around the values in this column.\n\nUsing the following configuration setup on our example table:\n\n\nwould produce the following data layout.\n\n|time|device_id|device_type|cpu|disk_io|energy_consumption|\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n|[12:00:02, 12:00:01]|1|[SSD,SSD]|[88.2, 88.6]|[20, 25]|[0.8, 0.85]|\n|[12:00:02, 12:00:01]|2|[HDD,HDD]|[300.5, 299.1]|[30, 40]|[0.9, 0.95]|\n|...|...|...|...|...|...|\n\nSegmenting column `device_id` is used for grouping data points together based on the value of that column. This makes accessing a specific device much more efficient.\n\n\n\nNumber of rows that are compressed together in a single batch (like the ones we see above) is 1000.\nIf your chunk does not contain enough data to create big enough batches, your compression ratio will be reduced.\nThis needs to be taken into account when defining your compression settings.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/compression-design/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Temporary file size limit exceeded when converting chunks to the columnstore\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#temporary-file-size-limit-exceeded-when-converting-chunks-to-the-columnstore\n\n\n\nWhen you try to convert a chunk to the columnstore, especially if the chunk is very large, you\ncould get this error.

Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range of time,\nand only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and runs\nthe query on it, instead of going through the entire table. This page shows you how to tune hypertables to increase\nperformance even more.\n\n* [Optimize hypertable chunk intervals][chunk-intervals]: choose the optimum chunk size for your data\n* [Enable chunk skipping][chunk-skipping]: skip chunks on non-partitioning columns in hypertables when you query your data\n* [Analyze your hypertables][analyze-hypertables]: use Postgres `ANALYZE` to create the best query plan\n\n## Optimize hypertable chunk intervals\n\nAdjusting your hypertable chunk interval can improve performance in your database.\n\n1. **Choose an optimum chunk interval**\n\nPostgres builds the index on the fly during ingestion. That means that to build a new entry on the index,\na significant portion of the index needs to be traversed during every row insertion. When the index does not fit\ninto memory, it is constantly flushed to disk and read back. This wastes IO resources which would otherwise\nbe used for writing the heap/WAL data to disk.\n\nThe default chunk interval is 7 days. However, best practice is to set `chunk_interval` so that prior to processing,\nthe indexes for chunks currently being ingested into fit within 25% of main memory. For example, on a system with 64\nGB of memory, if index growth is approximately 2 GB per day, a 1-week chunk interval is appropriate. If index growth is\naround 10 GB per day, use a 1-day interval.\n\nYou set `chunk_interval` when you [create a hypertable][hypertable-create-table], or by calling\n[`set_chunk_time_interval`][chunk_interval] on an existing hypertable.\n\nIn the following example you create a table called `conditions` that stores time values in the\n `time` column and has chunks that store data for a `chunk_interval` of one day:\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Check current setting for chunk intervals**\n\nQuery the TimescaleDB catalog for a hypertable. For example:\n\nThe result looks like:\n\nTime-based interval lengths are reported in microseconds.\n\n1. **Change the chunk interval length on an existing hypertable**\n\nTo change the chunk interval on an already existing hypertable, call `set_chunk_time_interval`.\n\nThe updated chunk interval only applies to new chunks. This means setting an overly long\n interval might take a long time to correct. For example, if you set\n `chunk_interval` to 1 year and start inserting data, you can no longer\n shorten the chunk for that year. If you need to correct this situation, create a\n new hypertable and migrate your data.\n\nWhile chunk turnover does not degrade performance, chunk creation\n does take longer lock time than a normal `INSERT` operation into a chunk that has\n already been created. This means that if multiple chunks are being created at\n the same time, the transactions block each other until the first transaction is\n completed.\n\nIf you use expensive index types, such as some PostGIS geospatial indexes, take\ncare to check the total size of the chunk and its index using\n[`chunks_detailed_size`][chunks_detailed_size].\n\n## Enable chunk skipping\n\nEarly access: TimescaleDB v2.17.1\n\nOne of the key purposes of hypertables is to make your analytical queries run with the lowest latency possible.\nWhen you execute a query on a hypertable, you do not parse the whole table; you only access the chunks necessary\nto satisfy the query. This works well when the `WHERE` clause of a query uses the column by which a hypertable is\npartitioned. For example, in a hypertable where every day of the year is a separate chunk, a query for September 1\naccesses only the chunk for that day.\n\nHowever, many queries use columns other than the partitioning one. For example, a satellite company might have a\ntable with two columns: one for when data was gathered by a satellite and one for when it was added to the database.\nIf you partition by the date of gathering, a query by the date of adding accesses all chunks in the hypertable and\nslows the performance.\n\nTo improve query performance, TimescaleDB enables you to skip chunks on non-partitioning columns in hypertables.\n\nChunk skipping only works on chunks converted to the columnstore **after** you `enable_chunk_skipping`.\n\n### How chunk skipping works\n\nYou enable chunk skipping on a column in a hypertable. TimescaleDB tracks the minimum and maximum values for that\ncolumn in each chunk. These ranges are stored in the start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) format in the `chunk_column_stats`\ncatalog table. TimescaleDB uses these ranges for dynamic chunk exclusion when the `WHERE` clause of an SQL query\nspecifies ranges on the column.\n\n![Chunk skipping](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable-with-chunk-skipping.png)\n\nYou can enable chunk skipping on hypertables compressed into the columnstore for `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `serial`,\n`bigserial`, `date`, `timestamp`, or `timestamptz` type columns.\n\n### When to enable chunk skipping\n\nYou can enable chunk skipping on as many columns as you need. However, best practice is to enable it on columns that\nare both:\n\n- Correlated, that is, related to the partitioning column in some way.\n- Referenced in the `WHERE` clauses of the queries.\n\nIn the satellite example, the time of adding data to a database inevitably follows the time of gathering.\nSequential IDs and the creation timestamp for both entities also increase synchronously. This means those two\ncolumns are correlated.\n\nFor a more in-depth look on chunk skipping, see [our blog post](https://www.timescale.com/blog/boost-postgres-performance-by-7x-with-chunk-skipping-indexes).\n\n### Enable chunk skipping\n\nTo enable chunk skipping on a column, call `enable_chunk_skipping` on a `hypertable` for a `column_name`. For example,\nthe following query enables chunk skipping on the `order_id` column in the `orders` table:\n\nFor more details on how to implement chunk skipping, see the [API Reference][api-reference].\n\n## Analyze your hypertables\n\nYou can use the Postgres `ANALYZE` command to query all chunks in your\nhypertable. The statistics collected by the `ANALYZE` command are used by the\nPostgres planner to create the best query plan. For more information about the\n`ANALYZE` command, see the [Postgres documentation][pg-analyze].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/extensions/pgvector/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT *\n FROM timescaledb_information.dimensions\n WHERE hypertable_name = 'conditions';\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nhypertable_schema | hypertable_name | dimension_number | column_name | column_type | dimension_type | time_interval | integer_interval | integer_now_func | num_partitions\n -------------------+-----------------+------------------+-------------+--------------------------+----------------+---------------+------------------+------------------+----------------\n public | metrics | 1 | recorded | timestamp with time zone | Time | 1 day | | |\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', INTERVAL '24 hours');\n```\n\n---\n\n## recompress_chunk()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#recompress_chunk()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Optional arguments\n- Troubleshooting\n\nOld API since [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0) Replaced by convert_to_columnstore().\n\nRecompresses a compressed chunk that had more data inserted after compression.\n\nYou can also recompress chunks by\n[running the job associated with your compression policy][run-job].\n`recompress_chunk` gives you more fine-grained control by\nallowing you to target a specific chunk.\n\n`recompress_chunk` is deprecated since TimescaleDB v2.14 and will be removed in the future.\nThe procedure is now a wrapper which calls [`compress_chunk`](https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/latest/compression/compress_chunk/)\ninstead of it.\n\n`recompress_chunk` is implemented as an SQL procedure and not a function.

For [regular hypertables][regular-hypertables]\nthat exist only on a single node, additional partitioning can be used\nfor specialized use cases and not recommended for most users.\n\nSpace partitions use hashing: Every distinct item is hashed to one of\n*N* buckets. Remember that we are already using (flexible) time\nintervals to manage chunk sizes; the main purpose of space\npartitioning is to enable parallelization across multiple\ndata nodes (in the case of distributed hypertables) or\nacross multiple disks within the same time interval\n(in the case of single-node deployments).\n\nFirst convert table `conditions` to hypertable with just time\npartitioning on column `time`, then add an additional partition key on `location` with four partitions:\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable with time partitioning on `time` and\nspace partitioning (2 partitions) on `location`, then add two additional dimensions.\n\nNow in a multi-node example for distributed hypertables with a cluster\nof one access node and two data nodes, configure the access node for\naccess to the two data nodes. Then, convert table `conditions` to\na distributed hypertable with just time partitioning on column `time`,\nand finally add a space partitioning dimension on `location`\nwith two partitions (as the number of the attached data nodes).\n\n### Parallelizing queries across multiple data nodes\n\nIn a distributed hypertable, space partitioning enables inserts to be\nparallelized across data nodes, even while the inserted rows share\ntimestamps from the same time interval, and thus increases the ingest rate.\nQuery performance also benefits by being able to parallelize queries\nacross nodes, particularly when full or partial aggregations can be\n\"pushed down\" to data nodes (for example, as in the query\n`avg(temperature) FROM conditions GROUP BY hour, location`\nwhen using `location` as a space partition). Please see our\n[best practices about partitioning in distributed hypertables][distributed-hypertable-partitioning-best-practices]\nfor more information.\n\n### Parallelizing disk I/O on a single node\n\nParallel I/O can benefit in two scenarios: (a) two or more concurrent\nqueries should be able to read from different disks in parallel, or\n(b) a single query should be able to use query parallelization to read\nfrom multiple disks in parallel.\n\nThus, users looking for parallel I/O have two options:\n\n1. Use a RAID setup across multiple physical disks, and expose a\nsingle logical disk to the hypertable (that is, via a single tablespace).\n\n1. For each physical disk, add a separate tablespace to the\ndatabase. TimescaleDB allows you to actually add multiple tablespaces\nto a *single* hypertable (although under the covers, a hypertable's\nchunks are spread across the tablespaces associated with that hypertable).\n\nWe recommend a RAID setup when possible, as it supports both forms of\nparallelization described above (that is, separate queries to separate\ndisks, single query to multiple disks in parallel). The multiple\ntablespace approach only supports the former. With a RAID setup,\n*no spatial partitioning is required*.\n\nThat said, when using space partitions, we recommend using 1\nspace partition per disk.\n\nTimescaleDB does *not* benefit from a very large number of space\npartitions (such as the number of unique items you expect in partition\nfield). A very large number of such partitions leads both to poorer\nper-partition load balancing (the mapping of items to partitions using\nhashing), as well as much increased planning latency for some types of\nqueries.\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`hypertable`|REGCLASS|Hypertable to add the dimension to|\n|`column_name`|TEXT|Column to partition by|\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`number_partitions`|INTEGER|Number of hash partitions to use on `column_name`.

It is usually used\nin combination with `GROUP BY` for this purpose.\n\nThis section shows examples of `time_bucket` use. To learn how time buckets\nwork, see the [about time buckets section][time-buckets].\n\n## Group data by time buckets and calculate a summary value\n\nGroup data into time buckets and calculate a summary value for a column. For\nexample, calculate the average daily temperature in a table named\n`weather_conditions`. The table has a time column named `time` and a\n`temperature` column:\n\nThe `time_bucket` function returns the start time of the bucket. In this\nexample, the first bucket starts at midnight on November 15, 2016, and\naggregates all the data from that day:\n\n## Group data by time buckets and show the end time of the bucket\n\nBy default, the `time_bucket` column shows the start time of the bucket. If you\nprefer to show the end time, you can shift the displayed time using a\nmathematical operation on `time`.\n\nFor example, you can calculate the minimum and maximum CPU usage for 5-minute\nintervals, and show the end of time of the interval. The example table is named\n`metrics`. It has a time column named `time` and a CPU usage column named `cpu`:\n\nThe addition of `+ '5 min'` changes the displayed timestamp to the end of the\nbucket. It doesn't change the range of times spanned by the bucket.\n\n## Group data by time buckets and change the time range of the bucket\n\nTo change the time range spanned by the buckets, use the `offset` parameter,\nwhich takes an `INTERVAL` argument. A positive offset shifts the start and end\ntime of the buckets later. A negative offset shifts the start and end time of\nthe buckets earlier.\n\nFor example, you can calculate the average CPU usage for 5-hour intervals, and\nshift the start and end times of all buckets 1 hour later:\n\n## Calculate the time bucket of a single value\n\nTime buckets are usually used together with `GROUP BY` to aggregate data. But\nyou can also run `time_bucket` on a single time value. This is useful for\ntesting and learning, because you can see what bucket a value falls into.\n\nFor example, to see the 1-week time bucket into which January 5, 2021 would\nfall, run:\n\nThe function returns `2021-01-04 00:00:00`. The start time of the time bucket is\nthe Monday of that week, at midnight.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/time-buckets/about-time-buckets/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket,\n avg(temperature) AS avg_temp\nFROM weather_conditions\nGROUP BY bucket\nORDER BY bucket ASC;\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nbucket | avg_temp\n-----------------------+---------------------\n2016-11-15 00:00:00+00 | 68.3704391666665821\n2016-11-16 00:00:00+00 | 67.0816684374999347\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('5 min', time) + '5 min' AS bucket,\n min(cpu),\n max(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY bucket\nORDER BY bucket DESC;\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('5 hours', time, '1 hour'::INTERVAL) AS bucket,\n avg(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY bucket\nORDER BY bucket DESC;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Integrate Debezium with Tiger Cloud\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#integrate-debezium-with-tiger-cloud\n\n**Contents:**\n- Prerequisites\n- Configure your database to work with Debezium\n- Configure Debezium to work with your database\n\n[Debezium][debezium] is an open-source distributed platform for change data capture (CDC).\nIt enables you to capture changes in a self-hosted TimescaleDB instance and stream them to other systems in real time.\n\nDebezium can capture events about:\n\n- [Hypertables][hypertables]: captured events are rerouted from their chunk-specific topics to a single logical topic\n named according to the following pattern: `..`\n- [Continuous aggregates][caggs]: captured events are rerouted from their chunk-specific topics to a single logical topic\n named according to the following pattern: `..`\n- [Hypercore][hypercore]: If you enable hypercore, the Debezium TimescaleDB connector does not apply any special\n processing to data in the columnstore. Compressed chunks are forwarded unchanged to the next downstream job in the\n pipeline for further processing as needed. Typically, messages with compressed chunks are dropped, and are not\n processed by subsequent jobs in the pipeline.\n\nThis limitation only affects changes to chunks in the columnstore. Changes to data in the rowstore work correctly.\n\nThis page explains how to capture changes in your database and stream them using Debezium on Apache Kafka.\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb] instance.\n\n- [Install Docker][install-docker] on your development machine.\n\n## Configure your database to work with Debezium\n\nTo set up self-hosted TimescaleDB to communicate with Debezium:\n\n1. **Configure your self-hosted Postgres deployment**\n\n1. Open `postgresql.conf`.\n\nThe Postgres configuration files are usually located in:\n\n- Docker: `/home/postgres/pgdata/data/`\n - Linux: `/etc/postgresql//main/` or `/var/lib/pgsql//data/`\n - MacOS: `/opt/homebrew/var/postgresql@/`\n - Windows: `C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\\\data\\`\n\n1. Enable logical replication.\n\nModify the following settings in `postgresql.conf`:\n\n1. Open `pg_hba.conf` and enable host replication.\n\nTo allow replication connections, add the following:\n\nThis permission is for the `debezium` Postgres user running on a local or Docker deployment. For more about replication\n permissions, see [Configuring Postgres to allow replication with the Debezium connector host][debezium-replication-permissions].\n\n1. **Connect to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance**\n\nUse [`psql`][psql-connect].\n\n1. **Create a Debezium user in Postgres**\n\nCreate a user with the `LOGIN` and `REPLICATION` permissions:\n\n1. **Enable a replication spot for Debezium**\n\n1. Create a table for Debezium to listen to:\n\n1. Turn the table into a hypertable:\n\nDebezium also works with [continuous aggregates][caggs].\n\n1. Create a publication and enable a replication slot:\n\n## Configure Debezium to work with your database\n\nSet up Kafka Connect server, plugins, drivers, and connectors:\n\n1. **Run Zookeeper in Docker**\n\nIn another Terminal window, run the following command:\n \n Check the output log to see that zookeeper is running.\n\n1. **Run Kafka in Docker**\n\nIn another Terminal window, run the following command:\n \n Check the output log to see that Kafka is running.\n\n1. **Run Kafka Connect in Docker**\n\nIn another Terminal window, run the following command:\n \n Check the output log to see that Kafka Connect is running.\n\n1. **Register the Debezium Postgres source connector**\n\nUpdate the `` for the `` you created in your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance in the following command.\n Then run the command in another Terminal window:\n\n1. **Verify `timescaledb-source-connector` is included in the connector list**\n\n1. Check the tasks associated with `timescaledb-connector`:\n \n You see something like:\n\n1. **Verify `timescaledb-connector` is running**\n\n1. Open the Terminal window running Kafka Connect. When the connector is active, you see something like the following:\n\n1. Watch the events in the accounts topic on your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance.\n\nIn another Terminal instance, run the following command:\n\nYou see the topics being streamed. For example:\n\nDebezium requires logical replication to be enabled. Currently, this is not enabled by default on Tiger Cloud services.\nWe are working on enabling this feature as you read.

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. To create a hypertable to store the energy consumption data, call [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n## Load energy consumption data\n\nWhen you have your database set up, you can load the energy consumption data\ninto the `metrics` hypertable.\n\nThis is a large dataset, so it might take a long time, depending on your network\nconnection.\n\n1. Download the dataset:\n\n[metrics.csv.gz](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/metrics.csv.gz)\n\n1. Use your file manager to decompress the downloaded dataset, and take a note\n of the path to the `metrics.csv` file.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, copy the data from the `metrics.csv` file into\n your hypertable. Make sure you point to the correct path, if it is not in\n your current working directory:\n\n1. You can check that the data has been copied successfully with this command:\n\nYou should get five records that look like this:\n\n## Create continuous aggregates\n\nIn modern applications, data usually grows very quickly. This means that aggregating\nit into useful summaries can become very slow. If you are collecting data very frequently, you might want to aggregate your\ndata into minutes or hours instead. For example, if an IoT device takes\ntemperature readings every second, you might want to find the average temperature\nfor each hour. Every time you run this query, the database needs to scan the\nentire table and recalculate the average. TimescaleDB makes aggregating data lightning fast, accurate, and easy with continuous aggregates.\n\n![Reduced data calls with continuous aggregates](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/continuous-aggregate.png)\n\nContinuous aggregates in TimescaleDB are a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically\nin the background as new data is added, or old data is modified. Changes to your\ndataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is\nautomatically updated in the background.\n\nContinuous aggregates have a much lower maintenance burden than regular Postgres materialized\nviews, because the whole view is not created from scratch on each refresh. This\nmeans that you can get on with working your data instead of maintaining your\ndatabase.\n\nBecause continuous aggregates are based on hypertables, you can query them in exactly the same way as your other tables. This includes continuous aggregates in the rowstore, compressed into the [columnstore][hypercore],\nor [tiered to object storage][data-tiering]. You can even create [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs], for an even more fine-tuned aggregation.\n\n[Real-time aggregation][real-time-aggregation] enables you to combine pre-aggregated data from the materialized view with the most recent raw data. This gives you up-to-date results on every query. In TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default. In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on a day-to-day basis**\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_day_by_day` for energy consumption:\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep `kwh_day_by_day` up-to-date:\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on an hourly basis**\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_hour_by_hour` for energy consumption:\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n1. **Analyze your data**\n\nNow you have made continuous aggregates, it could be a good idea to use them to perform analytics on your data.\n For example, to see how average energy consumption changes during weekdays over the last year, run the following query:\n\nYou see something like:\n\n| day | ordinal | value |\n | --- | ------- | ----- |\n | Mon | 2 | 23.08078714975423 |\n | Sun | 1 | 19.511430831944395 |\n | Tue | 3 | 25.003118897837307 |\n | Wed | 4 | 8.09300571759772 |\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\nIn your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\nConfigure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n1.

Best practice is to use the new\n[`create_hypertable`][api-create-hypertable] interface.\n\nCreates a TimescaleDB hypertable from a Postgres table (replacing the latter),\npartitioned on time and with the option to partition on one or more other\ncolumns. The Postgres table cannot be an already partitioned table\n(declarative partitioning or inheritance). In case of a non-empty table, it is\npossible to migrate the data during hypertable creation using the `migrate_data`\noption, although this might take a long time and has certain limitations when\nthe table contains foreign key constraints (see below).\n\nAfter creation, all actions, such as `ALTER TABLE`, `SELECT`, etc., still work\non the resulting hypertable.\n\nFor more information about using hypertables, including chunk size partitioning,\nsee the [hypertable section][hypertable-docs].\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable with just time partitioning on column `time`:\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable, setting `chunk_time_interval` to 24 hours.\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable.

If not provided, value is determined by the `timescaledb.hypertable_distributed_default` GUC. When creating a distributed hypertable, consider using [`create_distributed_hypertable`][create_distributed_hypertable] in place of `create_hypertable`.

It can also run into deadlock if foreign key constraints exist to\nother tables.\n\nWhen converting a normal SQL table to a hypertable, pay attention to how you handle\nconstraints. A hypertable can contain foreign keys to normal SQL table columns,\nbut the reverse is not allowed. UNIQUE and PRIMARY constraints must include the\npartitioning key.\n\nThe deadlock is likely to happen when concurrent transactions simultaneously try\nto insert data into tables that are referenced in the foreign key constraints\nand into the converting table itself. The deadlock can be prevented by manually\nobtaining `SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE` lock on the referenced tables before calling\n`create_hypertable` in the same transaction, see\n[Postgres documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-lock.html)\nfor the syntax.\n\nThe `time` column supports the following data types:\n\n|Description|Types|\n|-|-|\n|Timestamp| TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMPTZ|\n|Date|DATE|\n|Integer|SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT|\n\nThe type flexibility of the 'time' column allows the use of non-time-based\nvalues as the primary chunk partitioning column, as long as those values can\nincrement.\n\nFor incompatible data types (for example, `jsonb`) you can specify a function to\nthe `time_partitioning_func` argument which can extract a compatible data type.\n\nThe units of `chunk_time_interval` should be set as follows:\n\n* For time columns having timestamp or DATE types, the `chunk_time_interval`\n should be specified either as an `interval` type or an integral value in\n *microseconds*.\n* For integer types, the `chunk_time_interval` **must** be set explicitly, as\n the database does not otherwise understand the semantics of what each\n integer value represents (a second, millisecond, nanosecond, etc.). So if\n your time column is the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch, and you\n wish to have each chunk cover 1 day, you should specify\n `chunk_time_interval => 86400000`.\n\nIn case of hash partitioning (in other words, if `number_partitions` is greater\nthan zero), it is possible to optionally specify a custom partitioning function.\nIf no custom partitioning function is specified, the default partitioning\nfunction is used. The default partitioning function calls Postgres's internal\nhash function for the given type, if one exists. Thus, a custom partitioning\nfunction can be used for value types that do not have a native Postgres hash\nfunction. A partitioning function should take a single `anyelement` type\nargument and return a positive `integer` hash value. Note that this hash value\nis *not* a partition ID, but rather the inserted value's position in the\ndimension's key space, which is then divided across the partitions.\n\nThe time column in `create_hypertable` must be defined as `NOT NULL`. If this is\nnot already specified on table creation, `create_hypertable` automatically adds\nthis constraint on the table when it is executed.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypertable/set_chunk_time_interval/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time');\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time', chunk_time_interval => 86400000000);\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time', chunk_time_interval => INTERVAL '1 day');\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time', if_not_exists => TRUE);\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TYPE report AS (reported timestamp with time zone, contents jsonb);\n\nCREATE FUNCTION report_reported(report)\n RETURNS timestamptz\n LANGUAGE SQL\n IMMUTABLE AS\n 'SELECT $1.reported';\n\nSELECT create_hypertable('measurements', 'report', time_partitioning_func => 'report_reported');\n```\n\n---\n\n## hypertable_approximate_size()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#hypertable_approximate_size()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Returns\n\nGet the approximate total disk space used by a hypertable or continuous aggregate,\nthat is, the sum of the size for the table itself including chunks,\nany indexes on the table, and any toast tables.

The PG cache invalidation clears off the cached size for a\nchunk when DML happens into it. That size cache is thus able to get\nthe latest size in a matter of minutes. Also, due to the backend\ncaching, any long running session will only fetch latest data for new\nor modified chunks and can use the cached data (which is calculated\nafresh the first time around) effectively for older chunks.

You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Create a unique index on the hypertable**\n\nWhen you create a unique index on a hypertable, it must contain all the partitioning columns. It may contain\n other columns as well, and they may be arranged in any order. You cannot create a unique index without `time`,\n because `time` is a partitioning column.\n\n- Create a unique index on `time` and `device_id` with a call to `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX`:\n\n- Create a unique index on `time`, `user_id`, and `device_id`.\n\n`device_id` is not a partitioning column, but this still works:\n\nThis restriction is necessary to guarantee global uniqueness in the index.\n\n## Create a hypertable from an existing table with unique indexes\n\nIf you create a unique index on a table before turning it into a hypertable, the\nsame restrictions apply in reverse. You can only partition the table by columns\nin your unique index.\n\n1. **Create a relational table**\n\n1. **Create a unique index on the table**\n\nFor example, on `device_id` and `time`:\n\n1. **Turn the table into a partitioned hypertable**\n\n- On `time` and `device_id`:\n\nYou get an error if you try to turn the relational table into a hypertable partitioned by `time` and `user_id`.\n This is because `user_id` is not part of the `UNIQUE INDEX`. To fix the error, add `user_id` to your unique index.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hypertables/hypertable-crud/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE hypertable_example(\n time TIMESTAMPTZ,\n user_id BIGINT,\n device_id BIGINT,\n value FLOAT\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby = 'device_id',\n tsdb.orderby = 'time DESC'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_deviceid_time\n ON hypertable_example(device_id, time);\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_userid_deviceid_time\n ON hypertable_example(user_id, device_id, time);\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE another_hypertable_example(\n time TIMESTAMPTZ,\n user_id BIGINT,\n device_id BIGINT,\n value FLOAT\n );\n```\n\n---\n\n## timescaledb_information.compression_settings\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#timescaledb_information.compression_settings\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Available columns\n\nThis view exists for backwards compatibility.

Under the hood, this is achieved by using hypertables—Postgres tables that automatically partition your time-series data by time and optionally by other dimensions. When you run a query, Tiger Cloud identifies the correct partition, called chunk, and runs the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n![Hypertable structure](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable.png)\n\nHypertables offer the following benefits:\n\n- **Efficient data management with [automated partitioning by time][chunk-size]**: Tiger Cloud splits your data into chunks that hold data from a specific time range. For example, one day or one week. You can configure this range to better suit your needs.\n\n- **Better performance with [strategic indexing][hypertable-indexes]**: an index on time in the descending order is automatically created when you create a hypertable. More indexes are created on the chunk level, to optimize performance. You can create additional indexes, including unique indexes, on the columns you need.\n\n- **Faster queries with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping]**: Tiger Cloud skips the chunks that are irrelevant in the context of your query, dramatically reducing the time and resources needed to fetch results. Even more—you can enable chunk skipping on non-partitioning columns.\n\n- **Advanced data analysis with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions]**: Tiger Cloud enables you to efficiently process, aggregate, and analyze significant volumes of data while maintaining high performance.\n\nTo top it all, there is no added complexity—you interact with hypertables in the same way as you would with regular Postgres tables. All the optimization magic happens behind the scenes.\n\nInheritance is not supported for hypertables and may lead to unexpected behavior.\n\nEach hypertable is partitioned into child hypertables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned\na range of time, and only contains data from that range.\n\n### Time partitioning\n\nTypically, you partition hypertables on columns that hold time values.\n[Best practice is to use `timestamptz`][timestamps-best-practice] column type. However, you can also partition on\n`date`, `integer`, `timestamp` and [UUIDv7][uuidv7_functions] types.\n\nBy default, each hypertable chunk holds data for 7 days. You can change this to better suit your\nneeds. For example, if you set `chunk_interval` to 1 day, each chunk stores data for a single day.\n\nTimescaleDB divides time into potential chunk ranges, based on the `chunk_interval`. Each hypertable chunk holds\ndata for a specific time range only. When you insert data from a time range that doesn't yet have a chunk, TimescaleDB\nautomatically creates a chunk to store it.\n\nIn practice, this means that the start time of your earliest chunk does not\nnecessarily equal the earliest timestamp in your hypertable. Instead, there\nmight be a time gap between the start time and the earliest timestamp. This\ndoesn't affect your usual interactions with your hypertable, but might affect\nthe number of chunks you see when inspecting it.\n\n## Best practices for scaling and partitioning\n\nBest practices for maintaining a high performance when scaling include:\n\n- Limit the number of hypertables in your service; having tens of thousands of hypertables is not recommended.\n- Choose a strategic chunk size.\n\nChunk size affects insert and query performance. You want a chunk small enough\nto fit into memory so you can insert and query recent data without\nreading from disk. However, having too many small and sparsely filled chunks can\naffect query planning time and compression. The more chunks in the system, the slower that process becomes, even more so\nwhen all those chunks are part of a single hypertable.\n\nPostgres builds the index on the fly during ingestion. That means that to build a new entry on the index,\na significant portion of the index needs to be traversed during every row insertion. When the index does not fit\ninto memory, it is constantly flushed to disk and read back. This wastes IO resources which would otherwise\nbe used for writing the heap/WAL data to disk.\n\nThe default chunk interval is 7 days. However, best practice is to set `chunk_interval` so that prior to processing,\nthe indexes for chunks currently being ingested into fit within 25% of main memory. For example, on a system with 64\nGB of memory, if index growth is approximately 2 GB per day, a 1-week chunk interval is appropriate. If index growth is\naround 10 GB per day, use a 1-day interval.\n\nYou set `chunk_interval` when you [create a hypertable][hypertable-create-table], or by calling\n[`set_chunk_time_interval`][chunk_interval] on an existing hypertable.\n\nFor a detailed analysis of how to optimize your chunk sizes, see the\n[blog post on chunk time intervals][blog-chunk-time]. To learn how\nto view and set your chunk time intervals, see\n[Optimize hypertable chunk intervals][change-chunk-intervals].\n\n## Hypertable indexes\n\nBy default, indexes are automatically created when you create a hypertable. The default index is on time, descending.\nYou can prevent index creation by setting the `create_default_indexes` option to `false`.\n\nHypertables have some restrictions on unique constraints and indexes. If you\nwant a unique index on a hypertable, it must include all the partitioning\ncolumns for the table. To learn more, see\n[Enforce constraints with unique indexes on hypertables][hypertables-and-unique-indexes].\n\nYou can prevent index creation by setting the `create_default_indexes` option to `false`.\n\n## Partition by dimension\n\nPartitioning on time is the most common use case for hypertable, but it may not be enough for your needs. For example,\nyou may need to scan for the latest readings that match a certain condition without locking a critical hypertable.\n\nThe use case for a partitioning dimension is a multi-tenant setup. You isolate the tenants using the `tenant_id` space\npartition. However, you must perform extensive testing to ensure this works as expected, and there is a strong risk of\npartition explosion.\n\nYou add a partitioning dimension at the same time as you create the hypertable, when the table is empty. The good news\nis that although you select the number of partitions at creation time, as your data grows you can change the number of\npartitions later and improve query performance. Changing the number of partitions only affects chunks created after the\nchange, not existing chunks. To set the number of partitions for a partitioning dimension, call `set_number_partitions`.\nFor example:\n\n1. **Create the hypertable with the 1-day interval chunk interval**\n\n1. **Add a hash partition on a non-time column**\n\nNow use your hypertable as usual, but you can also ingest and query efficiently by the `device_id` column.\n\n1. **Change the number of partitions as you data grows**\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hypercore/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions(\n \"time\" timestamptz not null,\n device_id integer,\n temperature float\n )\n WITH(\n timescaledb.hypertable,\n timescaledb.partition_column='time',\n timescaledb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n );\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nselect * from add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('device_id', 3));\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nselect set_number_partitions('conditions', 5, 'device_id');\n```\n\n---\n\n## timescaledb_information.hypertable_compression_settings\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#timescaledb_information.hypertable_compression_settings\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Arguments\n\nShows information about compression settings for each hypertable chunk that has compression enabled on it.\n\nShow compression settings for all hypertables:\n\nFind compression settings for a specific hypertable:\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`hypertable`|`REGCLASS`|Hypertable which has compression enabled|\n|`chunk`|`REGCLASS`|Hypertable chunk which has compression enabled|\n|`segmentby`|`TEXT`|List of columns used for segmenting the compressed data|\n|`orderby`|`TEXT`| List of columns used for ordering compressed data along with ordering and NULL ordering information|\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/informational-views/compression_settings/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.hypertable_compression_settings;\nhypertable | measurements\nchunk | _timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_97_chunk\nsegmentby |\norderby | time DESC\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.hypertable_compression_settings WHERE hypertable::TEXT LIKE 'metrics';\nhypertable | metrics\nchunk | _timescaledb_internal._hyper_1_12_chunk\nsegmentby | metric_id\norderby | time DESC\n```\n\n---\n\n## move_chunk()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#move_chunk()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Optional arguments\n\nTimescaleDB allows you to move data and indexes to different tablespaces.

See [Troubleshooting self-hosted TimescaleDB][troubleshooting]\n to check if they can be safely ignored.\n\n1. **Restore your database from the backup**\n\n1. Connect to your target database:\n\n1. Create a new database and enable TimescaleDB:\n\n1. Put your database in the right state for restoring:\n\n1. Restore the database:\n\n1. Return your database to normal operations:\n\nDo not use `pg_restore` with the `-j` option. This option does not correctly restore the\n TimescaleDB catalogs.\n\n## Back up and restore individual hypertables\n\n`pg_dump` provides flags that allow you to specify tables or schemas\nto back up. However, using these flags means that the dump lacks necessary\ninformation that TimescaleDB requires to understand the relationship between\nthem. Even if you explicitly specify both the hypertable and all of its\nconstituent chunks, the dump would still not contain all the information it\nneeds to recreate the hypertable on restore.\n\nTo backup individual hypertables, backup the database schema, then backup only the tables\nyou need. You also use this method to backup individual plain tables.\n\n1. **Set your connection strings**\n\nThese variables hold the connection information for the source database to backup from and\n the target database to restore to:\n\n1. **Backup the database schema and individual tables**\n\n1.

This\n can provide a good opportunity for you to re-organize your hypertables if\n you need to. For example, you can change the partitioning key, the number of\n partitions, or the chunk interval sizes.\n\n1. Restore the data:\n\nThe standard `COPY` command in Postgres is single threaded. If you have a\n lot of data, you can speed up the copy using the [timescaledb-parallel-copy][parallel importer].\n\nBest practice is to backup and restore a database at a time. However, if you have superuser access to\nPostgres instance with TimescaleDB installed, you can use `pg_dumpall` to back up all Postgres databases in a\ncluster, including global objects that are common to all databases, namely database roles, tablespaces,\nand privilege grants. You restore the Postgres instance using `psql`.

This allows `INSERT`s, and\nother operations to be performed concurrently during most of the duration of the\n`CREATE INDEX` command. While the index is being created on an individual chunk,\nit functions as if a regular `CREATE INDEX` were called on that chunk, however\nother chunks are completely unblocked.\n\nThis version of `CREATE INDEX` can be used as an alternative to\n`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, which is not currently supported on hypertables.\n\n- Not supported for `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX`.\n- If the operation fails partway through, indexes might not be created on all\nhypertable chunks. If this occurs, the index on the root table of the hypertable\nis marked as invalid. You can check this by running `\\d+` on the hypertable. The\nindex still works, and is created on new chunks, but if you want to ensure all\nchunks have a copy of the index, drop and recreate it.\n\nYou can also use the following query to find all invalid indexes:\n\nCreate an anonymous index:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/continuous-aggregates/refresh_continuous_aggregate/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (SQL):\n```SQL\nCREATE INDEX ...

To define an index as a `UNIQUE` or `PRIMARY KEY` index, it must include the partitioning column (this is usually the time column).\n\nWhich column you choose to create your\nindex on depends on what kind of data you have stored.\nWhen you create a hypertable, set the datatype for the `time` column as\n`timestamptz` and not `timestamp`.\nFor more information, see [Postgres timestamp][postgresql-timestamp].\n\nWhile it is possible to add an index that does not include the `time` column,\ndoing so results in very slow ingest speeds. For time-series data, indexing\non the time column allows one index to be created per chunk.\n\nConsider a simple example with temperatures collected from two locations named\n`office` and `garage`:\n\nAn index on `(location, time DESC)` is organized like this:\n\nAn index on `(time DESC, location)` is organized like this:\n\nA good rule of thumb with indexes is to think in layers. Start by choosing the\ncolumns that you typically want to run equality operators on, such as\n`location = garage`. Then finish by choosing columns you want to use range\noperators on, such as `time > 0930`.\n\nAs a more complex example, imagine you have a number of devices tracking\n1,000 different retail stores. You have 100 devices per store, and 5 different\ntypes of devices. All of these devices report metrics as `float` values, and you\ndecide to store all the metrics in the same table, like this:\n\nWhen you create this table, an index is automatically generated on the time\ncolumn, making it faster to query your data based on time.\n\nIf you want to query your data on something other than time, you can create\ndifferent indexes. For example, you might want to query data from the last month\nfor just a given `device_id`. Or you could query all data for a single\n`store_id` for the last three months.\n\nYou want to keep the index on time so that you can quickly filter for a given\ntime range, and add another index on `device_id` and `store_id`. This creates a\ncomposite index. A composite index on `(store_id, device_id, time)` orders by\n`store_id` first. Each unique `store_id`, will then be sorted by `device_id` in\norder. And each entry with the same `store_id` and `device_id` are then ordered\nby `time`. To create this index, use this command:\n\nWhen you have this composite index on your hypertable, you can run a range of\ndifferent queries. Here are some examples:\n\nThis queries the portion of the list with a specific `store_id`. The index is\neffective for this query, but could be a bit bloated; an index on just\n`store_id` would probably be more efficient.\n\nThis query is not effective, because it would need to scan multiple sections of\nthe list.

With\ndistributed hypertables, you can scale your data storage across multiple\nmachines. The database can also parallelize some inserts and queries.\n\nA distributed hypertable still acts as if it were a single table. You can work\nwith one in the same way as working with a standard hypertable. To learn more\nabout hypertables, see the [hypertables section][hypertables].\n\nCertain nuances can affect distributed hypertable performance. This section\nexplains how distributed hypertables work, and what you need to consider before\nadopting one.\n\n## Architecture of a distributed hypertable\n\nDistributed hypertables are used with multi-node clusters. Each cluster has an\naccess node and multiple data nodes. You connect to your database using the\naccess node, and the data is stored on the data nodes. For more information\nabout multi-node, see the [multi-node section][multi-node].\n\nYou create a distributed hypertable on your access node. Its chunks are stored\non the data nodes. When you insert data or run a query, the access node\ncommunicates with the relevant data nodes and pushes down any processing if it\ncan.\n\n## Space partitioning\n\nDistributed hypertables are always partitioned by time, just like standard\nhypertables. But unlike standard hypertables, distributed hypertables should\nalso be partitioned by space. This allows you to balance inserts and queries\nbetween data nodes, similar to traditional sharding. Without space partitioning,\nall data in the same time range would write to the same chunk on a single node.\n\nBy default, TimescaleDB creates as many space partitions as there are data\nnodes. You can change this number, but having too many space partitions degrades\nperformance. It increases planning time for some queries, and leads to poorer\nbalancing when mapping items to partitions.\n\nData is assigned to space partitions by hashing. Each hash bucket in the space\ndimension corresponds to a data node. One data node may hold many buckets, but\neach bucket may belong to only one node for each time interval.\n\nWhen space partitioning is on, 2 dimensions are used to divide data into chunks:\nthe time dimension and the space dimension. You can specify the number of\npartitions along the space dimension. Data is assigned to a partition by hashing\nits value on that dimension.\n\nFor example, say you use `device_id` as a space partitioning column. For each\nrow, the value of the `device_id` column is hashed. Then the row is inserted\ninto the correct partition for that hash value.\n\n\n\n### Closed and open dimensions for space partitioning\n\nSpace partitioning dimensions can be open or closed. A closed dimension has a\nfixed number of partitions, and usually uses some hashing to match values to\npartitions. An open dimension does not have a fixed number of partitions, and\nusually has each chunk cover a certain range. In most cases the time dimension\nis open and the space dimension is closed.\n\nIf you use the `create_hypertable` command to create your hypertable, then the\nspace dimension is open, and there is no way to adjust this. To create a\nhypertable with a closed space dimension, create the hypertable with only the\ntime dimension first. Then use the `add_dimension` command to explicitly add an\nopen device. If you set the range to `1`, each device has its own chunks. This\ncan help you work around some limitations of regular space dimensions, and is\nespecially useful if you want to make some chunks readily available for\nexclusion.\n\n### Repartitioning distributed hypertables\n\nYou can expand distributed hypertables by adding additional data nodes. If you\nnow have fewer space partitions than data nodes, you need to increase the\nnumber of space partitions to make use of your new nodes. The new partitioning\nconfiguration only affects new chunks. In this diagram, an extra data node\nwas added during the third time interval. The fourth time interval now includes\nfour chunks, while the previous time intervals still include three:\n\n\n\nThis can affect queries that span the two different partitioning configurations.\nFor more information, see the section on\n[limitations of query push down][limitations].\n\n## Replicating distributed hypertables\n\nTo replicate distributed hypertables at the chunk level, configure the\nhypertables to write each chunk to multiple data nodes. This native replication\nensures that a distributed hypertable is protected against data node failures\nand provides an alternative to fully replicating each data node using streaming\nreplication to provide high availability. Only the data nodes are replicated\nusing this method. The access node is not replicated.\n\nFor more information about replication and high availability, see the\n[multi-node HA section][multi-node-ha].\n\n## Performance of distributed hypertables\n\nA distributed hypertable horizontally scales your data storage, so you're not\nlimited by the storage of any single machine. It also increases performance for\nsome queries.\n\nWhether, and by how much, your performance increases depends on your query\npatterns and data partitioning. Performance increases when the access node can\npush down query processing to data nodes. For example, if you query with a\n`GROUP BY` clause, and the data is partitioned by the `GROUP BY` column, the\ndata nodes can perform the processing and send only the final results to the\naccess node.\n\nIf processing can't be done on the data nodes, the access node needs to pull in\nraw or partially processed data and do the processing locally. For more\ninformation, see the [limitations of pushing down\nqueries][limitations-pushing-down].\n\nThe access node can use a full or a partial method to push down queries.\nComputations that can be pushed down include sorts and groupings. Joins on data\nnodes aren't currently supported.\n\nTo see how a query is pushed down to a data node, use `EXPLAIN VERBOSE` to\ninspect the query plan and the remote SQL statement sent to each data node.\n\nIn the full push-down method, the access node offloads all computation to the\ndata nodes. It receives final results from the data nodes and appends them. To\nfully push down an aggregate query, the `GROUP BY` clause must include either:\n\n* All the partitioning columns _or_\n* Only the first space-partitioning column\n\nFor example, say that you want to calculate the `max` temperature for each\nlocation:\n\nIf `location` is your only space partition, each data node can compute the\nmaximum on its own subset of the data.\n\n### Partial push down\n\nIn the partial push-down method, the access node offloads most of the\ncomputation to the data nodes. It receives partial results from the data nodes\nand calculates a final aggregate by combining the partials.\n\nFor example, say that you want to calculate the `max` temperature across all\nlocations. Each data node computes a local maximum, and the access node computes\nthe final result by computing the maximum of all the local maximums:\n\n### Limitations of query push down\n\nDistributed hypertables get improved performance when they can push down queries\nto the data nodes. But the query planner might not be able to push down every\nquery. Or it might only be able to partially push down a query. This can occur\nfor several reasons:\n\n* You changed the partitioning configuration. For example, you added new data\n nodes and increased the number of space partitions to match. This can cause\n chunks for the same space value to be stored on different nodes. For\n instance, say you partition by `device_id`. You start with 3 partitions, and\n data for `device_B` is stored on node 3. You later increase to 4 partitions.\n New chunks for `device_B` are now stored on node 4. If you query across the\n repartitioning boundary, a final aggregate for `device_B` cannot be\n calculated on node 3 or node 4 alone. Partially processed data must be sent\n to the access node for final aggregation. The TimescaleDB query planner\n dynamically detects such overlapping chunks and reverts to the appropriate\n partial aggregation plan. This means that you can add data nodes and\n repartition your data to achieve elasticity without worrying about query\n results. In some cases, your query could be slightly less performant, but\n this is rare and the affected chunks usually move quickly out of your\n retention window.\n* The query includes [non-immutable functions][volatility] and expressions.\n The function cannot be pushed down to the data node, because by definition,\n it isn't guaranteed to have a consistent result across each node. An example\n non-immutable function is [`random()`][random-func], which depends on the\n current seed.\n* The query includes a job function. The access node assumes the\n function doesn't exist on the data nodes, and doesn't push it down.\n\nTimescaleDB uses several optimizations to avoid these limitations, and push down\nas many queries as possible. For example, `now()` is a non-immutable function.\nThe database converts it to a constant on the access node and pushes down the\nconstant timestamp to the data nodes.\n\n## Combine distributed hypertables and standard hypertables\n\nYou can use distributed hypertables in the same database as standard hypertables\nand standard Postgres tables. This mostly works the same way as having\nmultiple standard tables, with a few differences. For example, if you `JOIN` a\nstandard table and a distributed hypertable, the access node needs to fetch the\nraw data from the data nodes and perform the `JOIN` locally.\n\nAll the limitations of regular hypertables also apply to distributed\nhypertables. In addition, the following limitations apply specifically\nto distributed hypertables:\n\n* Distributed scheduling of background jobs is not supported. Background jobs\n created on an access node are scheduled and executed on this access node\n without distributing the jobs to data nodes.\n* Continuous aggregates can aggregate data distributed across data nodes, but\n the continuous aggregate itself must live on the access node. This could\n create a limitation on how far you can scale your installation, but because\n continuous aggregates are downsamples of the data, this does not usually\n create a problem.\n* Reordering chunks is not supported.\n* Tablespaces cannot be attached to a distributed hypertable on the access\n node. It is still possible to attach tablespaces on data nodes.\n* Roles and permissions are assumed to be consistent across the nodes of a\n distributed database, but consistency is not enforced.\n* Joins on data nodes are not supported. Joining a distributed hypertable with\n another table requires the other table to reside on the access node. This\n also limits the performance of joins on distributed hypertables.\n* Tables referenced by foreign key constraints in a distributed hypertable\n must be present on the access node and all data nodes. This applies also to\n referenced values.\n* Parallel-aware scans and appends are not supported.\n* Distributed hypertables do not natively provide a consistent restore point\n for backup and restore across nodes. Use the\n [`create_distributed_restore_point`][create_distributed_restore_point]\n command, and make sure you take care when you restore individual backups to\n access and data nodes.\n* For native replication limitations, see the\n [native replication section][native-replication].\n* User defined functions have to be manually installed on the data nodes so\n that the function definition is available on both access and data nodes.\n This is particularly relevant for functions that are registered with\n `set_integer_now_func`.\n\nNote that these limitations concern usage from the access node. Some\ncurrently unsupported features might still work on individual data nodes,\nbut such usage is neither tested nor officially supported. Future versions\nof TimescaleDB might remove some of these limitations.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/backup-and-restore/logical-backup/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT location, max(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n GROUP BY location;\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT max(temperature) FROM conditions;\n```\n\n---\n\n## reorder_chunk()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#reorder_chunk()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Optional arguments\n- Returns\n\nReorder a single chunk's heap to follow the order of an index.

It does use a bit\nmore disk space during the operation.\n\nThis command can be particularly useful when data is often queried in an order\ndifferent from that in which it was originally inserted. For example, data is\ncommonly inserted into a hypertable in loose time order (for example, many devices\nconcurrently sending their current state), but one might typically query the\nhypertable about a _specific_ device.

Without hash partition, all\n data for each time slice is written to a single data node.\n\n* **Time intervals**: Follow the guidelines for `chunk_time_interval` defined in [`create_hypertable`]\n [create-hypertable-old].\n\nWhen you enable hash partitioning, the hypertable is evenly distributed across the data nodes. This\n means you can set a larger time interval. For example, you ingest 10 GB of data per day shared over\n five data nodes, each node has 64 GB of memory. If this is the only table being served by these data nodes, use a time interval of 1 week:\n\nIf you do not enable hash partitioning, use the same `chunk_time_interval` settings as a non-distributed\n instance. This is because all incoming data is handled by a single node.\n\n* **Replication factor**: `replication_factor` defines the number of data nodes a newly created chunk is\n replicated in. For example, when you set `replication_factor` to `3`, each chunk exists on 3 separate\n data nodes. Rows written to a chunk are inserted into all data notes in a two-phase commit protocol.\n\nIf a data node fails or is removed, no data is lost. Writes succeed on the other data nodes. However, the\n chunks on the lost data node are now under-replicated. When the failed data node becomes available, rebalance the chunks with a call to [copy_chunk][copy_chunk].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/distributed-hypertables/attach_data_node/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location');\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location',\n data_nodes => '{ \"data_node_1\", \"data_node_2\", \"data_node_4\", \"data_node_7\" }');\n```\n\nExample 3 (unknown):\n```unknown\n7 days * 10 GB 70\n -------------------- == --- ~= 22% of main memory used for the most recent chunks\n 5 data nodes * 64 GB 320\n```\n\n---\n\n## Manual compression\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#manual-compression\n\n**Contents:**\n - Selecting chunks to compress\n - Compressing chunks manually\n- Manually compress chunks in a single command\n- Roll up uncompressed chunks when compressing\n\nIn most cases, an [automated compression policy][add_compression_policy] is sufficient to automatically compress your\nchunks.

Repeat for all chunks you want to compress.\n\n## Manually compress chunks in a single command\n\nAlternatively, you can select the chunks and compress them in a single command\nby using the output of the `show_chunks` command to compress each one. For\nexample, use this command to compress chunks between one and three weeks old\nif they are not already compressed:\n\n## Roll up uncompressed chunks when compressing\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.9 and later, you can roll up multiple uncompressed chunks into\na previously compressed chunk as part of your compression procedure. This allows\nyou to have much smaller uncompressed chunk intervals, which reduces the disk\nspace used for uncompressed data. For example, if you have multiple smaller\nuncompressed chunks in your data, you can roll them up into a single compressed\nchunk.\n\nTo roll up your uncompressed chunks into a compressed chunk, alter the compression\nsettings to set the compress chunk time interval and run compression operations\nto roll up the chunks while compressing.\n\nThe default setting of `compress_orderby` is `'time DESC'` (the descending or DESC command is used to sort the data returned in ascending order), which causes chunks to be re-compressed\nmany times during the rollup, possibly leading to a steep performance penalty.\nSet `timescaledb.compress_orderby = 'time ASC'` to avoid this penalty.\n\nThe time interval you choose must be a multiple of the uncompressed chunk\ninterval. For example, if your uncompressed chunk interval is one week, your\n`` of the compressed chunk could be two weeks or six weeks, but\nnot one month.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/about-compression/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT show_chunks('example', older_than => INTERVAL '3 days');\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT compress_chunk( '');\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT *\n FROM chunk_compression_stats('example');\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT compress_chunk(i, if_not_compressed => true)\n FROM show_chunks(\n 'example',\n now()::timestamp - INTERVAL '1 week',\n now()::timestamp - INTERVAL '3 weeks'\n ) i;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Materialized hypertables\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#materialized-hypertables\n\n**Contents:**\n- Discover the name of a materialized hypertable\n - Discovering the name of a materialized hypertable\n\nContinuous aggregates take raw data from the original hypertable, aggregate it,\nand store the aggregated data in a materialization hypertable.

This tracks a range of values for that column per chunk.\nUsed for chunk skipping during query optimization and applies only to the chunks created after chunk skipping is enabled.\n\nBest practice is to enable range tracking on columns that are correlated to the\npartitioning column. In other words, enable tracking on secondary columns which are\nreferenced in the `WHERE` clauses in your queries.\n\nTimescaleDB supports min/max range tracking for the `smallint`, `int`,\n`bigint`, `serial`, `bigserial`, `date`, `timestamp`, and `timestamptz` data types. The\nmin/max ranges are calculated when a chunk belonging to\nthis hypertable is compressed using the [compress_chunk][compress_chunk] function.\nThe range is stored in start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) form in the\n`chunk_column_stats` catalog table.\n\nThis way you store the min/max values for such columns in this catalog\ntable at the per-chunk level. These min/max range values do\nnot participate in partitioning of the data. These ranges are\nused for chunk skipping when the `WHERE` clause of an SQL query specifies\nranges on the column.\n\nA [DROP COLUMN](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altertable.html#SQL-ALTERTABLE-DESC-DROP-COLUMN)\non a column with statistics tracking enabled on it ends up removing all relevant entries\nfrom the catalog table.\n\nA [decompress_chunk][decompress_chunk] invocation on a compressed chunk resets its entries\nfrom the `chunk_column_stats` catalog table since now it's available for DML and the\nmin/max range values can change on any further data manipulation in the chunk.\n\nBy default, this feature is disabled. To enable chunk skipping, set `timescaledb.enable_chunk_skipping = on` in\n`postgresql.conf`. When you upgrade from a database instance that uses compression but does not support chunk\nskipping, you need to recompress the previously compressed chunks for chunk skipping to work.\n\nIn this sample, you create the `conditions` hypertable with partitioning on the `time` column. You then specify and\nenable additional columns to track ranges for.\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable].

The [`time_bucket`][time_bucket] function enables you to aggregate data in a [hypertable][create-hypertable] into buckets of time. For example, 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 days.\nIt's similar to Postgres's [`date_bin`][date_bin] function, but it gives you more\nflexibility in the bucket size and start time.\n\nYou can use it to roll up data for analysis or downsampling. For example, you can calculate\n5-minute averages for a sensor reading over the last day. You can perform these\nrollups as needed, or pre-calculate them in [continuous aggregates][caggs].\n\nThis section explains how time bucketing works. For examples of the\n`time_bucket` function, see the section on\n[Aggregate time-series data with `time_bucket`][use-time-buckets].\n\n## How time bucketing works\n\nTime bucketing groups data into time intervals. With `time_bucket`, the interval\nlength can be any number of microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours,\ndays, weeks, months, years, or centuries.\n\nThe `time_bucket` function is usually used in combination with `GROUP BY` to\naggregate data. For example, you can calculate the average, maximum, minimum, or\nsum of values within a bucket.\n\n\n\nThe origin determines when time buckets start and end. By default, a time bucket\ndoesn't start at the earliest timestamp in your data. There is often a more\nlogical time. For example, you might collect your first data point at `00:37`,\nbut you probably want your daily buckets to start at midnight. Similarly, you\nmight collect your first data point on a Wednesday, but you might want your\nweekly buckets calculated from Sunday or Monday.\n\nInstead, time is divided into buckets based on intervals from the origin. The\nfollowing diagram shows how, using the example of 2-week buckets. The first\npossible start date for a bucket is `origin`. The next possible start date for a\nbucket is `origin + bucket interval`. If your first timestamp does not fall\nexactly on a possible start date, the immediately preceding start date is used\nfor the beginning of the bucket.\n\n\n\nFor example, say that your data's earliest timestamp is April 24, 2020. If you\nbucket by an interval of two weeks, the first bucket doesn't start on April 24,\nwhich is a Friday. It also doesn't start on April 20, which is the immediately\npreceding Monday. It starts on April 13, because you can get to April 13, 2020,\nby counting in two-week increments from January 3, 2000, which is the default\norigin in this case.\n\nFor intervals that don't include months or years, the default origin is January\n3, 2000. For month, year, or century intervals, the default origin is January 1,\n2000. For integer time values, the default origin is 0.\n\nThese choices make the time ranges of time buckets more intuitive. Because\nJanuary 3, 2000, is a Monday, weekly time buckets start on Monday. This is\ncompliant with the ISO standard for calculating calendar weeks. Monthly and\nyearly time buckets use January 1, 2000, as an origin. This allows them to start\non the first day of the calendar month or year.\n\nIf you prefer another origin, you can set it yourself using the [`origin`\nparameter][origin]. For example, to start weeks on Sunday, set the origin to\nSunday, January 2, 2000.\n\nThe origin time depends on the data type of your time values.\n\nIf you use `TIMESTAMP`, by default, bucket start times are aligned with\n`00:00:00`. Daily and weekly buckets start at `00:00:00`. Shorter buckets start\nat a time that you can get to by counting in bucket increments from `00:00:00`\non the origin date.\n\nIf you use `TIMESTAMPTZ`, by default, bucket start times are aligned with\n`00:00:00 UTC`. To align time buckets to another timezone, set the `timezone`\nparameter.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/mst/vpc-peering/vpc-peering-gcp/ =====\n\n---\n\n## About constraints\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#about-constraints\n\nConstraints are rules that apply to your database columns. This prevents you\nfrom entering invalid data into your database. When you create, change, or\ndelete constraints on your hypertables, the constraints are propagated to the\nunderlying chunks, and to any indexes.\n\nHypertables support all standard Postgres constraint types. For foreign keys in particular, the following is supported:\n\n- Foreign key constraints from a hypertable referencing a regular table\n- Foreign key constraints from a regular table referencing a hypertable\n\nForeign keys from a hypertable referencing another hypertable **are not supported**.\n\nFor example, you can create a table that only allows positive device IDs, and\nnon-null temperature readings. You can also check that time values for all\ndevices are unique. To create this table, with the constraints, use this\ncommand:\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\nThis example also references values in another `locations` table using a foreign\nkey constraint.\n\nTime columns used for partitioning must not allow `NULL` values. A\n`NOT NULL` constraint is added by default to these columns if it doesn't already exist.\n\nFor more information on how to manage constraints, see the\n[Postgres docs][postgres-createconstraint].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/schema-management/about-indexing/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ\n temp FLOAT NOT NULL,\n device_id INTEGER CHECK (device_id > 0),\n location INTEGER REFERENCES locations (id),\n PRIMARY KEY(time, device_id)\n) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n);\n```\n\n---\n\n## set_chunk_time_interval()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#set_chunk_time_interval()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Arguments\n\nSets the `chunk_time_interval` on a hypertable. The new interval is used\nwhen new chunks are created, and time intervals on existing chunks are\nnot changed.\n\nFor a TIMESTAMP column, set `chunk_time_interval` to 24 hours:\n\nFor a time column expressed as the number of milliseconds since the\nUNIX epoch, set `chunk_time_interval` to 24 hours:\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-------------|------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|`hypertable`|REGCLASS| - | ✔ | Hypertable or continuous aggregate to update interval for. |\n|`chunk_time_interval`|See note|- | ✔ | Event time that each new chunk covers. |\n|`dimension_name`|REGCLASS|- | ✖ | The name of the time dimension to set the number of partitions for. Only use `dimension_name` when your hypertable has multiple time dimensions. |\n\nIf you change chunk time interval you may see a chunk that is smaller than the new interval. For example, if you\nhave two 7-day chunks that cover 14 days, then change `chunk_time_interval` to 3 days, you may end up with a\ntransition chunk covering one day. This happens because the start and end of the new chunk is calculated based on\ndividing the timeline by the `chunk_time_interval` starting at epoch 0. This leads to the following chunks\n[0, 3), [3, 6), [6, 9), [9, 12), [12, 15), [15, 18) and so on. The two 7-day chunks covered data up to day 14:\n[0, 7), [8, 14), so the 3-day chunk for [12, 15) is reduced to a one day chunk. The following chunk [15, 18) is\ncreated as a full 3 day chunk.\n\nThe valid types for the `chunk_time_interval` depend on the type used for the\nhypertable `time` column:\n\n|`time` column type|`chunk_time_interval` type|Time unit|\n|-|-|-|\n|TIMESTAMP|INTERVAL|days, hours, minutes, etc|\n||INTEGER or BIGINT|microseconds|\n|TIMESTAMPTZ|INTERVAL|days, hours, minutes, etc|\n||INTEGER or BIGINT|microseconds|\n|DATE|INTERVAL|days, hours, minutes, etc|\n||INTEGER or BIGINT|microseconds|\n|SMALLINT|SMALLINT|The same time unit as the `time` column|\n|INT|INT|The same time unit as the `time` column|\n|BIGINT|BIGINT|The same time unit as the `time` column|\n\nFor more information, see [hypertable partitioning][hypertable-partitioning].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypertable/show_tablespaces/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', INTERVAL '24 hours');\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', 86400000000);\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', 86400000);\n```\n\n---\n\n## drop_chunks()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#drop_chunks()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n- Optional arguments\n\nRemoves data chunks whose time range falls completely before (or\nafter) a specified time. Shows a list of the chunks that were\ndropped, in the same style as the `show_chunks` [function][show_chunks].\n\nChunks are constrained by a start and end time and the start time is\nalways before the end time. A chunk is dropped if its end time is\nolder than the `older_than` timestamp or, if `newer_than` is given,\nits start time is newer than the `newer_than` timestamp.\n\nNote that, because chunks are removed if and only if their time range\nfalls fully before (or after) the specified timestamp, the remaining\ndata may still contain timestamps that are before (or after) the\nspecified one.\n\nChunks can only be dropped based on their time intervals.

An error is\n returned if an INTERVAL is supplied and the time column is not one\n of a `TIMESTAMP`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, or `DATE`.\n\n* **timestamp, date, or integer type:** The cut-off point is\n explicitly given as a `TIMESTAMP` / `TIMESTAMPTZ` / `DATE` or as a\n `SMALLINT` / `INT` / `BIGINT`. The choice of timestamp or integer\n must follow the type of the hypertable's time column.\n\nThe `created_before` and `created_after` parameters can be specified in two ways:\n\n* **interval type:** The cut-off point is computed as `now() -\n created_before` and similarly `now() - created_after`. This uses\n the chunk creation time relative to the current time for the filtering.\n\n* **timestamp, date, or integer type:** The cut-off point is\n explicitly given as a `TIMESTAMP` / `TIMESTAMPTZ` / `DATE` or as a\n `SMALLINT` / `INT` / `BIGINT`. The choice of integer value\n must follow the type of the hypertable's partitioning column. Otherwise\n the chunk creation time is used for the filtering.\n\nWhen using just an interval type, the function assumes that\nyou are removing things _in the past_.

A\n[tablespace][postgres-tablespaces] is a directory on the filesystem\nthat allows control over where individual tables and indexes are\nstored on the filesystem. A common use case is to create a tablespace\nfor a particular storage disk, allowing tables to be stored\nthere. To learn more, see the [Postgres documentation on\ntablespaces][postgres-tablespaces].\n\nTimescaleDB can manage a set of tablespaces for each hypertable,\nautomatically spreading chunks across the set of tablespaces attached\nto a hypertable. If a hypertable is hash partitioned, TimescaleDB\ntries to place chunks that belong to the same partition in the same\ntablespace. Changing the set of tablespaces attached to a hypertable\nmay also change the placement behavior. A hypertable with no attached\ntablespaces has its chunks placed in the database's default\ntablespace.\n\nAttach the tablespace `disk1` to the hypertable `conditions`:\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n| `tablespace` | TEXT | Name of the tablespace to attach.|\n| `hypertable` | REGCLASS | Hypertable to attach the tablespace to.|\n\nTablespaces need to be [created][postgres-createtablespace] before\nbeing attached to a hypertable. Once created, tablespaces can be\nattached to multiple hypertables simultaneously to share the\nunderlying disk storage. Associating a regular table with a tablespace\nusing the `TABLESPACE` option to `CREATE TABLE`, prior to calling\n`create_hypertable`, has the same effect as calling\n`attach_tablespace` immediately following `create_hypertable`.\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n| `if_not_attached` | BOOLEAN |Set to true to avoid throwing an error if the tablespace is already attached to the table.

But there are some\ndifferences due to the data being distributed across multiple nodes:\n\n* Row-level triggers fire on the data node where the row is inserted. The\n triggers must fire where the data is stored, because `BEFORE` and `AFTER`\n row triggers need access to the stored data. The chunks on the access node\n do not contain any data, so they have no triggers.\n* Statement-level triggers fire once on each affected node, including the\n access node. For example, if a distributed hypertable includes 3 data nodes,\n inserting 2 rows of data executes a statement-level trigger on the access\n node and either 1 or 2 data nodes, depending on whether the rows go to the\n same or different nodes.\n* A replication factor greater than 1 further causes\n the trigger to fire on multiple nodes. Each replica node fires the trigger.\n\n## Create a trigger on a distributed hypertable\n\nCreate a trigger on a distributed hypertable by using [`CREATE\nTRIGGER`][create-trigger] as usual. The trigger, and the function it executes,\nis automatically created on each data node. If the trigger function references\nany other functions or objects, they need to be present on all nodes before you\ncreate the trigger.\n\n### Creating a trigger on a distributed hypertable\n\n1. If your trigger needs to reference another function or object, use\n [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] to create the function or object on\n all nodes.\n1. Create the trigger function on the access node. This example creates a dummy\n trigger that raises the notice 'trigger fired':\n\n1. Create the trigger itself on the access node. This example causes the\n trigger to fire whenever a row is inserted into the hypertable `hyper`. Note\n that you don't need to manually create the trigger on the data nodes. This is\n done automatically for you.\n\n## Avoid processing a trigger multiple times\n\nIf you have a statement-level trigger, or a replication factor greater than 1,\nthe trigger fires multiple times. To avoid repetitive firing, you can set the\ntrigger function to check which data node it is executing on.\n\nFor example, write a trigger function that raises a different notice on the\naccess node compared to a data node:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/query/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_trigger_func()\n RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE PLPGSQL AS\n body$\n BEGIN\n RAISE NOTICE 'trigger fired';\n RETURN NEW;\n END\n body$;\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE TRIGGER my_trigger\n AFTER INSERT ON hyper\n FOR EACH ROW\n EXECUTE FUNCTION my_trigger_func();\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_trigger_func()\n RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE PLPGSQL AS\nbody$\nDECLARE\n is_access_node boolean;\nBEGIN\n SELECT is_distributed INTO is_access_node\n FROM timescaledb_information.hypertables\n WHERE hypertable_name =\n AND hypertable_schema = ;\n\n IF is_access_node THEN\n RAISE NOTICE 'trigger fired on the access node';\n ELSE\n RAISE NOTICE 'trigger fired on a data node';\n END IF;\n\n RETURN NEW;\nEND\nbody$;\n```\n\n---\n\n## remove_columnstore_policy()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#remove_columnstore_policy()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Arguments\n\nRemove a columnstore policy from a hypertable or continuous aggregate.\n\nTo restart automatic chunk migration to the columnstore, you need to call\n[add_columnstore_policy][add_columnstore_policy] again.\n\nSince [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0)\n\nYou see the columnstore policies in the [informational views][informational-views].\n\n- **Remove the columnstore policy from the `cpu` table**:\n\n- **Remove the columnstore policy from the `cpu_weekly` continuous aggregate**:\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|--|--|--|--|-|\n|`hypertable`|REGCLASS|-|✔| Name of the hypertable or continuous aggregate to remove the policy from|\n| `if_exists` | BOOLEAN | `false` |✖| Set to `true` so this job fails with a warning rather than an error if a columnstore policy does not exist on `hypertable` |\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypercore/chunk_columnstore_settings/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (unknown):\n```unknown\n- **Remove the columnstore policy from the `cpu_weekly` continuous aggregate**:\n```\n\n---\n\n## Slow tiering of chunks\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#slow-tiering-of-chunks\n\n\n\nChunks are tiered asynchronously.

With this in mind, Tiger Data equips you with tools for more fine-tuned data analysis.\n\nBy default, continuous aggregates do not include the most recent data chunk from the\nunderlying hypertable. Real-time aggregates, however, use the aggregated data **and** add the\nmost recent raw data to it.

In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\nFor more detail on the comparison between continuous and real-time aggregates,\nsee our [real-time aggregate blog post][blog-rtaggs].\n\n## Use real-time aggregates\n\nYou can enable and disable real-time aggregation by setting the\n`materialized_only` parameter when you create or alter the view.\n\n1.

In most cases, you want to use faster storage to store\ndata that is accessed frequently, and slower storage for data that is accessed\nless often.\n\nHypertables consist of a number of chunks, and each chunk can be located in a\nspecific tablespace. This allows you to grow your hypertables across many disks.\nWhen you create a new chunk, a tablespace is automatically selected to store the\nchunk's data.\n\nYou can attach and detach tablespaces on a hypertable. When a disk runs\nout of space, you can [detach][detach_tablespace] the full tablespace from the\nhypertable, and than [attach][attach_tablespace] a tablespace associated with a\nnew disk. To see the tablespaces for you hypertable, use the\n[`show_tablespaces`][show_tablespaces]\ncommand.\n\n## How hypertable chunks are assigned tablespaces\n\nA hypertable can be partitioned in multiple dimensions, but only one of the\ndimensions is used to determine the tablespace assigned to a particular\nhypertable chunk. If a hypertable has one or more hash-partitioned, or space,\ndimensions, it uses the first hash-partitioned dimension. Otherwise, it uses the\nfirst time dimension.\n\nThis strategy ensures that hash-partitioned hypertables have chunks co-located\naccording to hash partition, as long as the list of tablespaces attached to the\nhypertable remains the same. Modulo calculation is used to pick a tablespace, so\nthere can be more partitions than tablespaces. For example, if there are two\ntablespaces, partition number three uses the first tablespace.\n\nHypertables that are only time-partitioned add new partitions continuously, and\ntherefore have chunks assigned to tablespaces in a way similar to round-robin.\n\nIt is possible to attach more tablespaces than there are partitions for the\nhypertable. In this case, some tablespaces remain unused until others are detached\nor additional partitions are added. This is especially true for hash-partitioned\ntables.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/schema-management/about-schemas/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Altering and updating table schemas\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#altering-and-updating-table-schemas\n\nTo modify the schema of an existing hypertable, you can use the `ALTER TABLE`\ncommand. When you change the hypertable schema, the changes are also propagated\nto each underlying chunk.\n\nWhile you can change the schema of an existing hypertable, you cannot change\nthe schema of a continuous aggregate. For continuous aggregates, the only\npermissible changes are renaming a view, setting a schema, changing the owner,\nand adjusting other parameters.\n\nFor example, to add a new column called `address` to a table called `distributors`:\n\nThis creates the new column, with all existing entries recording `NULL` for the\nnew column.\n\nChanging the schema can, in some cases, consume a lot of resources. This is\nespecially true if it requires underlying data to be rewritten. If you want to\ncheck your schema change before you apply it, you can use a `CHECK` constraint,\nlike this:\n\nThis scans the table to verify that existing rows meet the constraint, but does\nnot require a table rewrite.\n\nFor more information, see the\n[Postgres ALTER TABLE documentation][postgres-alter-table].\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/schema-management/about-constraints/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER TABLE distributors\n ADD COLUMN address varchar(30);\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nALTER TABLE distributors\n ADD CONSTRAINT zipchk\n CHECK (char_length(zipcode) = 5);\n```\n\n---\n\n## detach_tablespaces()\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#detach_tablespaces()\n\n**Contents:**\n- Samples\n- Required arguments\n\nDetach all tablespaces from a hypertable.

A [WAL-E sidecar image][wale image]\nworks with TimescaleDB as well as regular Postgres. In this section, you\ncan set up archiving to your local filesystem with a main TimescaleDB\ncontainer called `timescaledb`, and a WAL-E sidecar called `wale`. When you are\nready to implement this in your production deployment, you can adapt the\ninstructions here to do archiving against cloud providers such as AWS S3, and\nrun it in an orchestration framework such as Kubernetes.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\n## Run the TimescaleDB container in Docker\n\nTo make TimescaleDB use the WAL-E sidecar for archiving, the two containers need\nto share a network. To do this, you need to create a Docker network and then\nlaunch TimescaleDB with archiving turned on, using the newly created network.\nWhen you launch TimescaleDB, you need to explicitly set the location of the\nwrite-ahead log (`POSTGRES_INITDB_WALDIR`) and data directory (`PGDATA`) so that\nyou can share them with the WAL-E sidecar. Both must reside in a Docker volume,\nby default a volume is created for `/var/lib/postgresql/data`. When you have\nstarted TimescaleDB, you can log in and create tables and data.\n\nThis section describes a feature that is deprecated. We strongly\nrecommend that you do not use this feature in a production environment. If you\nneed more information, [contact us](https://www.tigerdata.com/contact/).\n\n### Running the TimescaleDB container in Docker\n\n1. Create the docker container:\n\n1. Launch TimescaleDB, with archiving turned on:\n\n1. Run TimescaleDB within Docker:\n\n## Perform the backup using the WAL-E sidecar\n\nThe [WAL-E Docker image][wale image] runs a web endpoint that accepts WAL-E\ncommands across an HTTP API. This allows Postgres to communicate with the\nWAL-E sidecar over the internal network to trigger archiving. You can also use\nthe container to invoke WAL-E directly. The Docker image accepts standard WAL-E\nenvironment variables to configure the archiving backend, so you can issue\ncommands from services such as AWS S3. For information about configuring, see\nthe official [WAL-E documentation][wale official].\n\nTo enable the WAL-E docker image to perform archiving, it needs to use the same\nnetwork and data volumes as the TimescaleDB container. It also needs to know the\nlocation of the write-ahead log and data directories. You can pass all this\ninformation to WAL-E when you start it. In this example, the WAL-E image listens\nfor commands on the `timescaledb-net` internal network at port 80, and writes\nbackups to `~/backups` on the Docker host.\n\n### Performing the backup using the WAL-E sidecar\n\n1. Start the WAL-E container with the required information about the container.\n In this example, the container is called `timescaledb-wale`:\n\n1. Start the backup:\n\nAlternatively, you can start the backup using the sidecar's HTTP endpoint.\n This requires exposing the sidecar's port 80 on the Docker host by mapping\n it to an open port. In this example, it is mapped to port 8080:\n\nYou should do base backups at regular intervals daily, to minimize\nthe amount of WAL-E replay, and to make recoveries faster. To make new base\nbackups, re-trigger a base backup as shown here, either manually or on a\nschedule. If you run TimescaleDB on Kubernetes, there is built-in support for\nscheduling cron jobs that can invoke base backups using the WAL-E container's\nHTTP API.\n\nTo recover the database instance from the backup archive, create a new TimescaleDB\ncontainer, and restore the database and configuration files from the base\nbackup. Then you can relaunch the sidecar and the database.\n\n### Restoring database files from backup\n\n1. Create the docker container:\n\n1. Restore the database files from the base backup:\n\n1. Recreate the configuration files. These are backed up from the original\n database instance:\n\n1. Create a `recovery.conf` file that tells Postgres how to recover:\n\nWhen you have recovered the data and the configuration files, and have created a\nrecovery configuration file, you can relaunch the sidecar. You might need to\nremove the old one first. When you relaunch the sidecar, it replays the last WAL\nsegments that might be missing from the base backup. The you can relaunch the\ndatabase, and check that recovery was successful.\n\n### Relaunch the recovered database\n\n1. Relaunch the WAL-E sidecar:\n\n1. Relaunch the TimescaleDB docker container:\n\n1. Verify that the database started up and recovered successfully:\n\nDon't worry if you see some archive recovery errors in the log at this\n stage. This happens because the recovery is not completely finalized until\n no more files can be found in the archive.

The access node still relies on a\nstreaming replication standby, but the data nodes need no additional\nconfiguration. Instead, the existing pool of data nodes share\nresponsibility to host chunk replicas and handle node failures.\n\nThere are advantages and disadvantages to each approach.\nSetting up standbys for each node in the cluster ensures that\nstandbys are identical at the instance level, and this is a tried\nand tested method to provide high availability. However, it also\nrequires more setting up and maintenance for the mirror cluster.\n\nNative replication typically requires less resources, nodes, and\nconfiguration, and takes advantage of built-in capabilities, such as\nadding and removing data nodes, and different replication factors on\neach distributed hypertable. However, only chunks are replicated on\nthe data nodes.\n\nThe rest of this section discusses native replication. To set up\nstandbys for each node, follow the instructions for [single node\nHA][single-ha].\n\n## Native replication\n\nNative replication is a set of capabilities and APIs that allow you to\nbuild a highly available multi-node TimescaleDB installation. At the\ncore of native replication is the ability to write copies of a chunk\nto multiple data nodes in order to have alternative _chunk replicas_\nin case of a data node failure. If one data node fails, its chunks\nshould be available on at least one other data node. If a data node is\npermanently lost, a new data node can be added to the cluster, and\nlost chunk replicas can be re-replicated from other data nodes to\nreach the number of desired chunk replicas.\n\nNative replication in TimescaleDB is under development and\ncurrently lacks functionality for a complete high-availability\nsolution. Some functionality described in this section is still\nexperimental. For production environments, we recommend setting up\nstandbys for each node in a multi-node cluster.\n\nSimilar to how high-availability configurations for single-node\nPostgres uses a system like Patroni for automatically handling\nfail-over, native replication requires an external entity to\norchestrate fail-over, chunk re-replication, and data node\nmanagement. This orchestration is _not_ provided by default in\nTimescaleDB and therefore needs to be implemented separately. The\nsections below describe how to enable native replication and the steps\ninvolved to implement high availability in case of node failures.\n\n### Configuring native replication\n\nThe first step to enable native replication is to configure a standby\nfor the access node. This process is identical to setting up a [single\nnode standby][single-ha].\n\nThe next step is to enable native replication on a distributed\nhypertable. Native replication is governed by the\n`replication_factor`, which determines how many data nodes a chunk is\nreplicated to. This setting is configured separately for each\nhypertable, which means the same database can have some distributed\nhypertables that are replicated and others that are not.\n\nBy default, the replication factor is set to `1`, so there is no\nnative replication. You can increase this number when you create the\nhypertable. For example, to replicate the data across a total of three\ndata nodes:\n\nAlternatively, you can use the\n[`set_replication_factor`][set_replication_factor] call to change the\nreplication factor on an existing distributed hypertable. Note,\nhowever, that only new chunks are replicated according to the\nupdated replication factor. Existing chunks need to be re-replicated\nby copying those chunks to new data nodes (see the [node\nfailures section](#node-failures) below).\n\nWhen native replication is enabled, the replication happens whenever\nyou write data to the table. On every `INSERT` and `COPY` call, each\nrow of the data is written to multiple data nodes. This means that you\ndon't need to do any extra steps to have newly ingested data\nreplicated. When you query replicated data, the query planner only\nincludes one replica of each chunk in the query plan.\n\nWhen a data node fails, inserts that attempt to write to the failed\nnode result in an error. This is to preserve data consistency in\ncase the data node becomes available again. You can use the\n[`alter_data_node`][alter_data_node] call to mark a failed data node\nas unavailable by running this query:\n\nSetting `available => false` means that the data node is no longer\nused for reads and writes queries.\n\nTo fail over reads, the [`alter_data_node`][alter_data_node] call finds\nall the chunks for which the unavailable data node is the primary query\ntarget and fails over to a chunk replica on another data node.\nHowever, if some chunks do not have a replica to fail over to, a warning\nis raised. Reads continue to fail for chunks that do not have a chunk\nreplica on any other data nodes.\n\nTo fail over writes, any activity that intends to write to the failed\nnode marks the involved chunk as stale for the specific failed\nnode by changing the metadata on the access node. This is only done\nfor natively replicated chunks. This allows you to continue to write\nto other chunk replicas on other data nodes while the failed node has\nbeen marked as unavailable. Writes continue to fail for chunks that do\nnot have a chunk replica on any other data nodes. Also note that chunks\non the failed node which do not get written into are not affected.\n\nWhen you mark a chunk as stale, the chunk becomes under-replicated.\nWhen the failed data node becomes available then such chunks can be\nre-balanced using the [`copy_chunk`][copy_chunk] API.\n\nIf waiting for the data node to come back is not an option, either because\nit takes too long or the node is permanently failed, one can delete it instead.\nTo be able to delete a data node, all of its chunks must have at least one\nreplica on other data nodes. For example:\n\nUse the `force` option when you delete the data node if the deletion\nmeans that the cluster no longer achieves the desired replication\nfactor. This would be the normal case unless the data node has no\nchunks or the distributed hypertable has more chunk replicas than the\nconfigured replication factor.\n\nYou cannot force the deletion of a data node if it would mean that a multi-node\ncluster permanently loses data.\n\nWhen you have successfully removed a failed data node, or marked a\nfailed data node unavailable, some data chunks might lack replicas but\nqueries and inserts work as normal again. However, the cluster stays in\na vulnerable state until all chunks are fully replicated.\n\nWhen you have restored a failed data node or marked it available again, you can\nsee the chunks that need to be replicated with this query:\n\n\n\nThe output from this query looks like this:\n\nWith the information from the chunk replication status view, an\nunder-replicated chunk can be copied to a new node to ensure the chunk\nhas the sufficient number of replicas. For example:\n\n\n\n>\nWhen you restore chunk replication, the operation uses more than one transaction. This means that it cannot be automatically rolled back. If you cancel the operation before it is completed, an operation ID for the copy is logged. You can use this operation ID to clean up any state left by the cancelled operation. For example:\n\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-setup/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location',\n replication_factor => 3);\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT alter_data_node('data_node_2', available => false);\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT delete_data_node('data_node_2', force => true);\nWARNING: distributed hypertable \"conditions\" is under-replicated\n```\n\nExample 4 (sql):\n```sql\nSELECT chunk_schema, chunk_name, replica_nodes, non_replica_nodes\nFROM timescaledb_experimental.chunk_replication_status\nWHERE hypertable_name = 'conditions' AND num_replicas < desired_num_replicas;\n```\n\n---\n\n## Upload a file into your service using the terminal\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#upload-a-file-into-your-service-using-the-terminal\n\n**Contents:**\n- Prerequisites\n- Import data into your service\n- Prerequisites\n- Import data into your service\n- Prerequisites\n- Import data into your service\n\nThis page shows you how to upload CSV, MySQL, and Parquet files from a source machine into your service using the terminal.\n\nThe CSV file format is widely used for data migration.

These can\nalso be set within the `postgresql.conf` file or as command-line parameters\nwhen starting Postgres.\n\n## Query Planning and Execution\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_chunkwise_aggregation (bool)`\nIf enabled, aggregations are converted into partial aggregations during query\nplanning. The first part of the aggregation is executed on a per-chunk basis.\nThen, these partial results are combined and finalized. Splitting aggregations\ndecreases the size of the created hash tables and increases data locality, which\nspeeds up queries.\n\n### `timescaledb.vectorized_aggregation (bool)`\nEnables or disables the vectorized optimizations in the query executor. For\nexample, the `sum()` aggregation function on compressed chunks can be optimized\nin this way.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_merge_on_cagg_refresh (bool)`\n\nSet to `ON` to dramatically decrease the amount of data written on a continuous aggregate\nin the presence of a small number of changes, reduce the i/o cost of refreshing a\n[continuous aggregate][continuous-aggregates], and generate fewer Write-Ahead Logs (WAL). Only works for continuous aggregates that don't have compression enabled.\n\nPlease refer to the [Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameters][gucs] for a complete list.\n\n### `timescaledb.max_background_workers (int)`\n\nMax background worker processes allocated to TimescaleDB. Set to at least 1 +\nthe number of databases loaded with the TimescaleDB extension in a Postgres instance. Default value is 16.\n\n## Tiger Cloud service tuning\n\n### `timescaledb.disable_load (bool)`\nDisable the loading of the actual extension\n\n### `timescaledb.restoring (bool)`\n\nSet TimescaleDB in restoring mode. It is disabled by default.\n\n### `timescaledb.license (string)`\n\nChange access to features based on the TimescaleDB license in use. For example,\nsetting `timescaledb.license` to `apache` limits TimescaleDB to features that\nare implemented under the Apache 2 license. The default value is `timescale`,\nwhich allows access to all features.\n\n### `timescaledb.telemetry_level (enum)`\n\nTelemetry settings level. Level used to determine which telemetry to\nsend. Can be set to `off` or `basic`. Defaults to `basic`.\n\n### `timescaledb.last_tuned (string)`\n\nRecords last time `timescaledb-tune` ran.\n\n### `timescaledb.last_tuned_version (string)`\n\nVersion of `timescaledb-tune` used to tune when it runs.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/configuration/gucs/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Additional tooling\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#additional-tooling\n\nGet the most from TimescaleDB with open source tools that help you perform\ncommon tasks.\n\n* Automatically configure your TimescaleDB instance with\n [`timescaledb-tune`][tstune]\n* Install [TimescaleDB Toolkit][tstoolkit] to access more hyperfunctions and\n function pipelines\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/upgrades/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Migrate your Postgres database to self-hosted TimescaleDB\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#migrate-your-postgres-database-to-self-hosted-timescaledb\n\n**Contents:**\n- Choose a migration method\n- Migrate an active database\n\nYou can migrate your existing Postgres database to self-hosted TimescaleDB.\n\nThere are several methods for migrating your data:\n\n* If the database you want to migrate is smaller than 100 GB,\n [migrate your entire database at once][migrate-entire]:\n This method directly transfers all data and schemas, including\n Timescale-specific features. Your hypertables, continuous aggregates, and\n policies are automatically available in the new self-hosted TimescaleDB instance.\n* For databases larger than 100GB,\n [migrate your schema and data separately][migrate-separately]: With this\n method, you migrate your tables one by one for easier failure recovery. If\n migration fails mid-way, you can restart from the failure point rather than\n from the beginning. However, Timescale-specific features won't be\n automatically migrated. Follow the instructions to restore your hypertables,\n continuous aggregates, and policies.\n* If you need to move data from Postgres tables into hypertables within an\n existing self-hosted TimescaleDB instance,\n [migrate within the same database][migrate-same-db]: This method assumes that\n you have TimescaleDB set up in the same database instance as your existing table.\n* If you have data in an InfluxDB database,\n [migrate using Outflux][outflux]:\n Outflux pipes exported data directly to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance, and manages schema\n discovery, validation, and creation. Outflux works with earlier versions of\n InfluxDB. It does not work with InfluxDB version 2 and later.\n\n## Choose a migration method\n\nWhich method you choose depends on your database size, network upload and\ndownload speeds, existing continuous aggregates, and tolerance for failure\nrecovery.\n\nIf you are migrating from an Amazon RDS service, Amazon charges for the amount\nof data transferred out of the service. You could be charged by Amazon for all\ndata egressed, even if the migration fails.\n\nIf your database is smaller than 100 GB, choose to migrate your entire\ndatabase at once. You can also migrate larger databases using this method, but\nthe copying process must keep running, potentially over days or weeks. If the\ncopy is interrupted, the process needs to be restarted. If you think an\ninterruption in the copy is possible, choose to migrate your schema and data\nseparately instead.\n\nMigrating your schema and data separately does not retain continuous aggregates\ncalculated using already-deleted data. For example, if you delete raw data after\na month but retain downsampled data in a continuous aggregate for a year, the\ncontinuous aggregate loses any data older than a month upon migration. If you\nmust keep continuous aggregates calculated using deleted data, migrate your\nentire database at once regardless of database size.\n\nIf you aren't sure which method to use, try copying the entire database at once\nto estimate the time required. If the time estimate is very long, stop the\nmigration and switch to the other method.\n\n## Migrate an active database\n\nIf your database is actively ingesting data, take precautions to ensure that\nyour self-hosted TimescaleDB instance contains the data that is ingested while the migration\nis happening. Begin by running ingest in parallel on the source and target\ndatabases. This ensures that the newest data is written to both databases. Then\nbackfill your data with one of the two migration methods.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/manage-storage/ =====\n\n---\n\n## Configuration with Docker\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#configuration-with-docker\n\n**Contents:**\n- Edit the Postgres configuration file inside Docker\n - Editing the Postgres configuration file inside Docker\n- Setting parameters at the command prompt\n\nIf you are running TimescaleDB in a [Docker container][docker], there are two\ndifferent ways to modify your Postgres configuration. You can edit the\nPostgres configuration file inside the Docker container, or you can set\nparameters at the command prompt.\n\n## Edit the Postgres configuration file inside Docker\n\nYou can start the Dockert container, and then use a text editor to edit the\nPostgres configuration file directly. The configuration file requires one\nparameter per line. Blank lines are ignored, and you can use a `#` symbol at the\nbeginning of a line to denote a comment.\n\n### Editing the Postgres configuration file inside Docker\n\n1.

The Prometheus exporter exposes the metrics related to the Tiger Cloud service like CPU, memory, and storage. To scrape other metrics, use Postgres Exporter as described for self-hosted TimescaleDB. The Prometheus exporter is available for [Scale and Enterprise][pricing-plan-features] pricing plans.\n\n1. **Create a Prometheus exporter**\n\n1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][open-console], click `Exporters` > `+ New exporter`.\n\n1.

Choose the region for the exporter. Only services in the same project and region can be attached to this exporter.\n\n1. Name your exporter.\n\n1. Change the auto-generated Prometheus credentials, if needed. See [official documentation][prometheus-authentication] on basic authentication in Prometheus.\n\n1. **Attach the exporter to a service**\n\n1. Select a service, then click `Operations` > `Exporters`.\n\n1.

You see the exporter details.\n\n![Prometheus exporter details in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/prometheus-exporter-details-tiger-console.png)\n\n1. Copy the exporter URL.\n\n1. In your Prometheus installation, update `prometheus.yml` to point to the exporter URL as a scrape target:\n\nSee the [Prometheus documentation][scrape-targets] for details on configuring scrape targets.\n\nYou can now monitor your service metrics. Use the following metrics to check the service is running correctly:\n\n* `timescale.cloud.system.cpu.usage.millicores`\n * `timescale.cloud.system.cpu.total.millicores`\n * `timescale.cloud.system.memory.usage.bytes`\n * `timescale.cloud.system.memory.total.bytes`\n * `timescale.cloud.system.disk.usage.bytes`\n * `timescale.cloud.system.disk.total.bytes`\n\nAdditionally, use the following tags to filter your results.\n\n|Tag|Example variable| Description |\n |-|-|----------------------------|\n |`host`|`us-east-1.timescale.cloud`| |\n |`project-id`|| |\n |`service-id`|| |\n |`region`|`us-east-1`| AWS region |\n |`role`|`replica` or `primary`| For service with replicas |\n\nTo export metrics from self-hosted TimescaleDB, you import telemetry data about your database to Postgres Exporter, then configure Prometheus to scrape metrics from it. Postgres Exporter exposes metrics that you define, excluding the system metrics.\n\n1. **Create a user to access telemetry data about your database**\n\n1. Connect to your database in [`psql`][psql] using your [connection details][connection-info].\n\n1. Create a user named `monitoring` with a secure password:\n\n1.

Check the metrics for your database in the Prometheus format:\n\nNavigate to `http://:9187/metrics`.\n\n1. **Configure Prometheus to scrape metrics**\n\n1. In your Prometheus installation, update `prometheus.yml` to point to your Postgres Exporter instance as a scrape\n target. In the following example, you replace `` with the hostname or IP address of the PostgreSQL\n Exporter.\n\nIf `prometheus.yml` has not been created during installation, create it manually. If you are using Docker, you can\n find the IPAddress in `Inspect` > `Networks` for the container running Postgres Exporter.\n\n1. Restart Prometheus.\n\n1. Check the Prometheus UI at `http://:9090/targets` and `http://:9090/tsdb-status`.\n\nYou see the Postgres Exporter target and the metrics scraped from it.\n\nYou can further [visualize your data][grafana-prometheus] with Grafana.

This allows you to upgrade to the latest TimescaleDB version while retaining your data.\n\nThe `timescale/timescaledb-ha*` images have the files necessary to run previous versions. Patch releases\nonly contain bugfixes so should always be safe. Non-patch releases may rarely require some extra steps.\nThese steps are mentioned in the [release notes][relnotes] for the version of TimescaleDB\nthat you are upgrading to.\n\nAfter you upgrade the docker image, you run `ALTER EXTENSION` for all databases using TimescaleDB.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\nThe examples in this page use a Docker instance called `timescaledb`. If you\nhave given your Docker instance a different name, replace it when you issue the\ncommands.\n\n## Determine the mount point type\n\nWhen you start your upgraded Docker container, you need to be able to point the\nnew Docker image to the location that contains the data from your previous\nversion. To do this, you need to work out where the current mount point is. The\ncurrent mount point varies depending on whether your container is using volume\nmounts, or bind mounts.\n\n1.

You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have at least two separate instances of\nTimescaleDB running. If you installed TimescaleDB using a Docker container, use\na [Postgres entry point script][docker-postgres-scripts] to run the\nconfiguration. For more advanced examples, see the\n[TimescaleDB Helm Charts repository][timescale-streamrep-helm].\n\nTo configure replication on self-hosted TimescaleDB, you need to perform these\nprocedures:\n\n1. [Configure the primary database][configure-primary-db]\n1. [Configure replication parameters][configure-params]\n1. [Create replication slots][create-replication-slots]\n1. [Configure host-based authentication parameters][configure-pghba]\n1. [Create a base backup on the replica][create-base-backup]\n1. [Configure replication and recovery settings][configure-replication]\n1. [Verify that the replica is working][verify-replica]\n\n## Configure the primary database\n\nTo configure the primary database, you need a Postgres user with a role that\nallows it to initialize streaming replication. This is the user each replica\nuses to stream from the primary database.\n\n### Configuring the primary database\n\n1. On the primary database, as a user with superuser privileges, such as the\n `postgres` user, set the password encryption level to `scram-sha-256`:\n\n1. Create a new user called `repuser`:\n\nThe [scram-sha-256](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sasl-authentication.html#SASL-SCRAM-SHA-256) encryption level is the most secure\npassword-based authentication available in Postgres. It is only available in Postgres 10 and later.\n\n## Configure replication parameters\n\nThere are several replication settings that need to be added or edited in the\n`postgresql.conf` configuration file.\n\n### Configuring replication parameters\n\n1. Set the `synchronous_commit` parameter to `off`.\n1. Set the `max_wal_senders` parameter to the total number of concurrent\n connections from replicas or backup clients. As a minimum, this should equal\n the number of replicas you intend to have.\n1. Set the `wal_level` parameter to the amount of information written to the\n Postgres write-ahead log (WAL). For replication to work, there needs to be\n enough data in the WAL to support archiving and replication. The default\n value is usually appropriate.\n1. Set the `max_replication_slots` parameter to the total number of replication\n slots the primary database can support.\n1. Set the `listen_addresses` parameter to the address of the primary database.\n Do not leave this parameter as the local loopback address, because the\n remote replicas must be able to connect to the primary to stream the WAL.\n1. Restart Postgres to pick up the changes. This must be done before you\n create replication slots.\n\nThe most common streaming replication use case is asynchronous replication with\none or more replicas. In this example, the WAL is streamed to the replica, but\nthe primary server does not wait for confirmation that the WAL has been written\nto disk on either the primary or the replica. This is the most performant\nreplication configuration, but it does carry the risk of a small amount of data\nloss in the event of a system failure. It also makes no guarantees that the\nreplica is fully up to date with the primary, which could cause inconsistencies\nbetween read queries on the primary and the replica. The example configuration\nfor this use case:\n\nIf you need stronger consistency on the replicas, or if your query load is heavy\nenough to cause significant lag between the primary and replica nodes in\nasynchronous mode, consider a synchronous replication configuration instead. For\nmore information about the different replication modes, see the\n[replication modes section][replication-modes].\n\n## Create replication slots\n\nWhen you have configured `postgresql.conf` and restarted Postgres, you can\ncreate a [replication slot][postgres-rslots-docs] for each replica. Replication\nslots ensure that the primary does not delete segments from the WAL until they\nhave been received by the replicas. This is important in case a replica goes\ndown for an extended time. The primary needs to verify that a WAL segment has\nbeen consumed by a replica, so that it can safely delete data. You can use\n[archiving][postgres-archive-docs] for this purpose, but replication slots\nprovide the strongest protection for streaming replication.\n\n### Creating replication slots\n\n1. At the `psql` slot, create the first replication slot. The name of the slot\n is arbitrary. In this example, it is called `replica_1_slot`:\n\n1. Repeat for each required replication slot.\n\n## Configure host-based authentication parameters\n\nThere are several replication settings that need to be added or edited to the\n`pg_hba.conf` configuration file. In this example, the settings restrict\nreplication connections to traffic coming from `REPLICATION_HOST_IP` as the\nPostgres user `repuser` with a valid password. `REPLICATION_HOST_IP` can\ninitiate streaming replication from that machine without additional credentials.\nYou can change the `address` and `method` values to match your security and\nnetwork settings.\n\nFor more information about `pg_hba.conf`, see the\n[`pg_hba` documentation][pg-hba-docs].\n\n### Configuring host-based authentication parameters\n\n1. Open the `pg_hba.conf` configuration file and add or edit this line:\n\n1. Restart Postgres to pick up the changes.\n\n## Create a base backup on the replica\n\nReplicas work by streaming the primary server's WAL log and replaying its\ntransactions in Postgres recovery mode. To do this, the replica needs to be in\na state where it can replay the log. You can do this by restoring the replica\nfrom a base backup of the primary instance.\n\n### Creating a base backup on the replica\n\n1. Stop Postgres services.\n1. If the replica database already contains data, delete it before you run the\n backup, by removing the Postgres data directory:\n\nIf you don't know the location of the data directory, find it with the\n `show data_directory;` command.\n1. Restore from the base backup, using the IP address of the primary database\n and the replication username:\n\nThe -W flag prompts you for a password. If you are using this command in an\n automated setup, you might need to use a [pgpass file][pgpass-file].\n1. When the backup is complete, create a\n [standby.signal][postgres-recovery-docs] file in your data directory. When\n Postgres finds a `standby.signal` file in its data directory, it starts in\n recovery mode and streams the WAL through the replication protocol:\n\n## Configure replication and recovery settings\n\nWhen you have successfully created a base backup and a `standby.signal` file, you\ncan configure the replication and recovery settings.\n\n## Configuring replication and recovery settings\n\n1. In the replica's `postgresql.conf` file, add details for communicating with the\n primary server. If you are using streaming replication, the\n `application_name` in `primary_conninfo` should be the same as the name used\n in the primary's `synchronous_standby_names` settings:\n\n1. Add details to mirror the configuration of the primary database. If you are\n using asynchronous replication, use these settings:\n\nThe `hot_standby` parameter must be set to `on` to allow read-only queries\n on the replica. In Postgres 10 and later, this setting is `on` by default.\n1. Restart Postgres to pick up the changes.\n\n## Verify that the replica is working\n\nAt this point, your replica should be fully synchronized with the primary\ndatabase and prepared to stream from it. You can verify that it is working\nproperly by checking the logs on the replica, which should look like this:\n\nAny client can perform reads on the replica. You can verify this by running\ninserts, updates, or other modifications to your data on the primary database,\nand then querying the replica to ensure they have been properly copied over.\n\nIn most cases, asynchronous streaming replication is sufficient. However, you\nmight require greater consistency between the primary and replicas, especially\nif you have a heavy workload. Under heavy workloads, replicas can lag far behind\nthe primary, providing stale data to clients reading from the replicas.\nAdditionally, in cases where any data loss is fatal, asynchronous replication\nmight not provide enough of a durability guarantee. The Postgres\n[`synchronous_commit`][postgres-synchronous-commit-docs] feature has several\noptions with varying consistency and performance tradeoffs.\n\nIn the `postgresql.conf` file, set the `synchronous_commit` parameter to:\n\n* `on`: This is the default value. The server does not return `success` until\n the WAL transaction has been written to disk on the primary and any\n replicas.\n* `off`: The server returns `success` when the WAL transaction has been sent\n to the operating system to write to the WAL on disk on the primary, but\n does not wait for the operating system to actually write it. This can cause\n a small amount of data loss if the server crashes when some data has not\n been written, but it does not result in data corruption. Turning\n `synchronous_commit` off is a well-known Postgres optimization for\n workloads that can withstand some data loss in the event of a system crash.\n* `local`: Enforces `on` behavior only on the primary server.\n* `remote_write`: The database returns `success` to a client when the WAL\n record has been sent to the operating system for writing to the WAL on the\n replicas, but before confirmation that the record has actually been\n persisted to disk. This is similar to asynchronous commit, except it waits\n for the replicas as well as the primary. In practice, the extra wait time\n incurred waiting for the replicas significantly decreases replication lag.\n* `remote_apply`: Requires confirmation that the WAL records have been written\n to the WAL and applied to the databases on all replicas. This provides the\n strongest consistency of any of the `synchronous_commit` options. In this\n mode, replicas always reflect the latest state of the primary, and\n replication lag is nearly non-existent.\n\nIf `synchronous_standby_names` is empty, the settings `on`, `remote_apply`,\n`remote_write` and `local` all provide the same synchronization level, and\ntransaction commits wait for the local flush to disk.\n\nThis matrix shows the level of consistency provided by each mode:\n\n|Mode|WAL Sent to OS (Primary)|WAL Persisted (Primary)|WAL Sent to OS (Primary & Replicas)|WAL Persisted (Primary & Replicas)|Transaction Applied (Primary & Replicas)|\n|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n|Off|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n|Local|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|\n|Remote Write|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|\n|On|✅|✅|✅|✅|❌|\n|Remote Apply|✅|✅|✅|✅|✅|\n\nThe `synchronous_standby_names` setting is a complementary setting to\n`synchronous_commit`. It lists the names of all replicas the primary database\nsupports for synchronous replication, and configures how the primary database\nwaits for them. The `synchronous_standby_names` setting supports these formats:\n\n* `FIRST num_sync (replica_name_1, replica_name_2)`: This waits for\n confirmation from the first `num_sync` replicas before returning `success`.\n The list of `replica_names` determines the relative priority of\n the replicas. Replica names are determined by the `application_name` setting\n on the replicas.\n* `ANY num_sync (replica_name_1, replica_name_2)`: This waits for confirmation\n from `num_sync` replicas in the provided list, regardless of their priority\n or position in the list. This is works as a quorum function.\n\nSynchronous replication modes force the primary to wait until all required\nreplicas have written the WAL, or applied the database transaction, depending on\nthe `synchronous_commit` level. This could cause the primary to hang\nindefinitely if a required replica crashes. When the replica reconnects, it\nreplays any of the WAL it needs to catch up. Only then is the primary able to\nresume writes. To mitigate this, provision more than the amount of nodes\nrequired under the `synchronous_standby_names` setting and list them in the\n`FIRST` or `ANY` clauses. This allows the primary to move forward as long as a\nquorum of replicas have written the most recent WAL transaction. Replicas that\nwere out of service are able to reconnect and replay the missed WAL transactions\nasynchronously.\n\n## Replication diagnostics\n\nThe Postgres [pg_stat_replication][postgres-pg-stat-replication-docs] view\nprovides information about each replica. This view is particularly useful for\ncalculating replication lag, which measures how far behind the primary the\ncurrent state of the replica is. The `replay_lag` field gives a measure of the\nseconds between the most recent WAL transaction on the primary, and the last\nreported database commit on the replica. Coupled with `write_lag` and\n`flush_lag`, this provides insight into how far behind the replica is. The\n`*_lsn` fields also provide helpful information. They allow you to compare WAL locations between\nthe primary and the replicas. The `state` field is useful for determining\nexactly what each replica is currently doing; the available modes are `startup`,\n`catchup`, `streaming`, `backup`, and `stopping`.\n\nTo see the data, on the primary database, run this command:\n\nThe output looks like this:\n\nPostgres provides some failover functionality, where the replica is promoted\nto primary in the event of a failure.

You can connect Kubernetes to Tiger Cloud, and deploy TimescaleDB within your Kubernetes clusters.\n\nThis guide explains how to connect a Kubernetes cluster to Tiger Cloud, configure persistent storage, and deploy TimescaleDB in your kubernetes cluster.\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n- Install [self-managed Kubernetes][kubernetes-install] or sign up for a Kubernetes [Turnkey Cloud Solution][kubernetes-managed].\n- Install [kubectl][kubectl] for command-line interaction with your cluster.\n\n## Integrate TimescaleDB in a Kubernetes cluster\n\nTo connect your Kubernetes cluster to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n1. **Create a default namespace for your Tiger Cloud components**\n\n1. Create a namespace:\n\n1. Set this namespace as the default for your session:\n\nFor more information, see [Kubernetes Namespaces][kubernetes-namespace].\n\n1. **Create a Kubernetes secret that stores your Tiger Cloud service credentials**\n\nUpdate the following command with your [connection details][connection-info], then run it:\n\n1. **Configure network access to Tiger Cloud**\n\n- **Managed Kubernetes**: outbound connections to external databases like Tiger Cloud work by default.\n Make sure your cluster’s security group or firewall rules allow outbound traffic to Tiger Cloud IP.\n\n- **Self-hosted Kubernetes**: If your cluster is behind a firewall or running on-premise, you may need to allow\n egress traffic to Tiger Cloud. Test connectivity using your [connection details][connection-info]:\n\nIf the connection fails, check your firewall rules.\n\n1. **Create a Kubernetes deployment that can access your Tiger Cloud**\n\nRun the following command to apply the deployment:\n\n1. **Test the connection**\n\n1. Create and run a pod that uses the [connection details][connection-info] you added to `timescale-secret` in\n the `timescale` namespace:\n\n2. Launch a psql shell in the `test-pod` you just created:\n\nYou start a `psql` session connected to your Tiger Cloud service.\n\nRunning TimescaleDB on Kubernetes is similar to running Postgres. This procedure outlines the steps for a non-distributed system.\n\nTo connect your Kubernetes cluster to self-hosted TimescaleDB running in the cluster:\n\n1. **Create a default namespace for Tiger Data components**\n\n1. Create the Tiger Data namespace:\n\n1. Set this namespace as the default for your session:\n\nFor more information, see [Kubernetes Namespaces][kubernetes-namespace].\n\n1. **Set up a persistent volume claim (PVC) storage**\n\nTo manually set up a persistent volume and claim for self-hosted Kubernetes, run the following command:\n\n1. **Deploy TimescaleDB as a StatefulSet**\n\nBy default, the [TimescaleDB Docker image][timescale-docker-image] you are installing on Kubernetes uses the\n default Postgres database, user and password. To deploy TimescaleDB on Kubernetes, run the following command:\n\n1. **Allow applications to connect by exposing TimescaleDB within Kubernetes**\n\n1. **Create a Kubernetes secret to store the database credentials**\n\n1. **Deploy an application that connects to TimescaleDB**\n\n1. **Test the database connection**\n\n1. Create and run a pod to verify database connectivity using your [connection details][connection-info] saved in `timescale-secret`:\n\n1. Launch the Postgres interactive shell within the created `test-pod`:\n\nYou see the Postgres interactive terminal.\n\nYou have successfully integrated Kubernetes with Tiger Cloud.\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/prometheus/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (shell):\n```shell\nkubectl create namespace timescale\n```\n\nExample 2 (shell):\n```shell\nkubectl config set-context --current --namespace=timescale\n```\n\nExample 3 (shell):\n```shell\nkubectl create secret generic timescale-secret \\\n --from-literal=PGHOST= \\\n --from-literal=PGPORT= \\\n --from-literal=PGDATABASE= \\\n --from-literal=PGUSER= \\\n --from-literal=PGPASSWORD=\n```\n\nExample 4 (shell):\n```shell\nnc -zv \n```\n\n---\n\n## About timescaledb-tune\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#about-timescaledb-tune\n\n**Contents:**\n- Install timescaledb-tune\n- Tune your database with timescaledb-tune\n\nGet better performance by tuning your TimescaleDB database to match your system\nresources and Postgres version. `timescaledb-tune` is an open source command\nline tool that analyzes and adjusts your database settings.\n\n## Install timescaledb-tune\n\n`timescaledb-tune` is packaged with binary releases of TimescaleDB. If you\ninstalled TimescaleDB from any binary release, including Docker, you already\nhave access. For more install instructions, see the\n[GitHub repository][github-tstune].\n\n## Tune your database with timescaledb-tune\n\nRun `timescaledb-tune` from the command line. The tool analyzes your\n`postgresql.conf` file to provide recommendations for memory, parallelism,\nwrite-ahead log, and other settings. These changes are written to your\n`postgresql.conf`. They take effect on the next restart.\n\n1. At the command line, run `timescaledb-tune`. To accept all recommendations\n automatically, include the `--yes` flag.\n\n1. If you didn't use the `--yes` flag, respond to each prompt to accept or\n reject the recommendations.\n1. The changes are written to your `postgresql.conf`.\n\nFor detailed instructions and other options, see the documentation in the\n[Github repository](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-tune).\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/install/installation-windows/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (bash):\n```bash\ntimescaledb-tune\n```\n\n---\n\n## Manual Postgres configuration and tuning\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#manual-postgres-configuration-and-tuning\n\n**Contents:**\n- Edit the Postgres configuration file\n- Setting parameters at the command prompt\n\nIf you prefer to tune settings yourself, or for settings not covered by\n`timescaledb-tune`, you can manually configure your installation using the\nPostgres configuration file.\n\nFor some common configuration settings you might want to adjust, see the\n[about-configuration][about-configuration] page.\n\nFor more information about the Postgres configuration page, see the\n[Postgres documentation][pg-config].\n\n## Edit the Postgres configuration file\n\nThe location of the Postgres configuration file depends on your operating\nsystem and installation.\n\n1. **Find the location of the config file for your Postgres instance**\n 1. Connect to your database:\n \n 1. Retrieve the database file location from the database internal configuration.\n \n Postgres returns the path to your configuration file. For example:\n\n1. **Open the config file, then [edit your Postgres configuration][pg-config]**\n\n1. **Save your updated configuration**\n\nWhen you have saved the changes you make to the configuration file, the new configuration is\n not applied immediately. The configuration file is automatically reloaded when the server\n receives a `SIGHUP` signal. To manually reload the file, use the `pg_ctl` command.\n\n## Setting parameters at the command prompt\n\nIf you don't want to open the configuration file to make changes, you can also\nset parameters directly from the command prompt, using the `postgres` command.\nFor example:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/tooling/install-toolkit/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (shell):\n```shell\npsql -d \"postgres://:@:/\"\n```\n\nExample 2 (sql):\n```sql\nSHOW config_file;\n```\n\nExample 3 (sql):\n```sql\n--------------------------------------------\n /home/postgres/pgdata/data/postgresql.conf\n (1 row)\n```\n\nExample 4 (shell):\n```shell\nvi /home/postgres/pgdata/data/postgresql.conf\n```\n\n---\n\n## Install TimescaleDB from cloud image\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#install-timescaledb-from-cloud-image\n\n**Contents:**\n- Installing TimescaleDB from a pre-build cloud image\n- Set up the TimescaleDB extension\n- Where to next\n\nYou can install TimescaleDB on a cloud hosting provider,\nfrom a pre-built, publicly available machine image. These instructions show you\nhow to use a pre-built Amazon machine image (AMI), on Amazon Web Services (AWS).\n\nThe currently available pre-built cloud image is:\n\n* Ubuntu 20.04 Amazon EBS-backed AMI\n\nThe TimescaleDB AMI uses Elastic Block Store (EBS) attached volumes. This allows\nyou to store image snapshots, dynamic IOPS configuration, and provides some\nprotection of your data if the EC2 instance goes down. Choose an EC2 instance\ntype that is optimized for EBS attached volumes. For information on choosing the\nright EBS optimized EC2 instance type, see the AWS\n[instance configuration documentation][aws-instance-config].\n\nThis section shows how to use the AMI from within the AWS EC2 dashboard.\nHowever, you can also use the AMI to build an instance using tools like\nCloudformation, Terraform, the AWS CLI, or any other AWS deployment tool that\nsupports public AMIs.\n\n## Installing TimescaleDB from a pre-build cloud image\n\n1. Make sure you have an [Amazon Web Services account][aws-signup], and are\n signed in to [your EC2 dashboard][aws-dashboard].\n1. Navigate to `Images → AMIs`.\n1. In the search bar, change the search to `Public images` and type _Timescale_\n search term to find all available TimescaleDB images.\n1. Select the image you want to use, and click `Launch instance from image`.\n \"Launch\n\nAfter you have completed the installation, connect to your instance and\nconfigure your database. For information about connecting to the instance, see\nthe AWS [accessing instance documentation][aws-connect]. The easiest way to\nconfigure your database is to run the `timescaledb-tune` script, which is included\nwith the `timescaledb-tools` package. For more information, see the\n[configuration][config] section.\n\nAfter running the `timescaledb-tune` script, you need to restart the Postgres\nservice for the configuration changes to take effect. To restart the service,\nrun `sudo systemctl restart postgresql.service`.\n\n## Set up the TimescaleDB extension\n\nWhen you have Postgres and TimescaleDB installed, connect to your instance and\nset up the TimescaleDB extension.\n\n1. On your instance, at the command prompt, connect to the Postgres\n instance as the `postgres` superuser:\n\n1. At the prompt, create an empty database. For example, to create a database\n called `tsdb`:\n\n1. Connect to the database you created:\n\n1.

For example, when you upgrade from TimescaleDB 1\nto TimescaleDB 2.\n\nA minor upgrade is when you upgrade within your current major version of\nTimescaleDB. For example, when you upgrade from TimescaleDB 2.5 to\nTimescaleDB 2.6.\n\nIf you originally installed TimescaleDB using Docker, you can upgrade from\nwithin the Docker container. For more information, and instructions, see the\n[Upgrading with Docker section][upgrade-docker].\n\nWhen you upgrade the `timescaledb` extension, the experimental schema is removed\nby default. To use experimental features after an upgrade, you need to add the\nexperimental schema again.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\n- Install the Postgres client tools on your migration machine. This includes `psql`, and `pg_dump`.\n- Read [the release notes][relnotes] for the version of TimescaleDB that you are upgrading to.\n- [Perform a backup][backup] of your database. While TimescaleDB\n upgrades are performed in-place, upgrading is an intrusive operation. Always\n make sure you have a backup on hand, and that the backup is readable in the\n case of disaster.\n\nIf you use the TimescaleDB Toolkit, ensure the `timescaledb_toolkit` extension is on\nversion 1.6.0, then upgrade the `timescaledb` extension. If required, you\ncan then later upgrade the `timescaledb_toolkit` extension to the most\nrecent version.\n\n## Check your version\n\nYou can check which version of TimescaleDB you are running, at the psql command\nprompt. Use this to check which version you are running before you begin your\nupgrade, and again after your upgrade is complete:\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/upgrades/upgrade-pg/ =====\n\n**Examples:**\n\nExample 1 (sql):\n```sql\n\\dx timescaledb\n\n Name | Version | Schema | Description\n-------------+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------\n timescaledb | x.y.z | public | Enables scalable inserts and complex queries for time-series data\n(1 row)\n```\n\n---\n\n## Install TimescaleDB on Linux\n\n**URL:** llms-txt#install-timescaledb-on-linux\n\n**Contents:**\n- Install and configure TimescaleDB on Postgres\n- Add the TimescaleDB extension to your database\n- Supported platforms\n- Where to next\n\nTimescaleDB is a [Postgres extension](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/external-extensions.html) for\ntime series and demanding workloads that ingest and query high volumes of data.\n\nThis section shows you how to:\n\n* [Install and configure TimescaleDB on Postgres](#install-and-configure-timescaledb-on-postgresql) - set up\n a self-hosted Postgres instance to efficiently run TimescaleDB.\n* [Add the TimescaleDB extension to your database](#add-the-timescaledb-extension-to-your-database) - enable TimescaleDB\n features and performance improvements on a database.\n\nThe following instructions are for development and testing installations.

A radically faster Postgres for transactional,\nanalytical, and agentic workloads at scale.\n\nTiger Cloud scales Postgres to ingest and query vast amounts of live data. Tiger Cloud\nprovides a range of features and optimizations that supercharge your queries while keeping the\ncosts down. For example:\n* The hypercore row-columnar engine in TimescaleDB makes queries up to 350x faster, ingests 44% faster, and reduces\n storage by 90%.\n* Tiered storage in Tiger Cloud seamlessly moves your data from high performance storage for frequently accessed data to\n low cost bottomless storage for rarely accessed data.\n\nThe following figure shows how TimescaleDB optimizes your data for superfast real-time analytics:\n\n![Main features and tiered data](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/mutation.png )\n\nThis page shows you how to rapidly implement the features in Tiger Cloud that enable you to\ningest and query data faster while keeping the costs low.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables with hypercore\n\nTime-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables are Postgres tables\nthat help you improve insert and query performance by automatically partitioning your data by time. Each hypertable\nis made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range of time, and only\ncontains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and runs the query on\nit, instead of going through the entire table. You can also tune hypertables to increase performance even more.\n\n![Hypertable structure](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable-structure.png)\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nHypertables exist alongside regular Postgres tables.\nYou use regular Postgres tables for relational data, and interact with hypertables\nand regular Postgres tables in the same way.\n\nThis section shows you how to create regular tables and hypertables, and import\nrelational and time-series data from external files.\n\n1. **Import some time-series data into hypertables**\n\n 1. Unzip [crypto_sample.zip](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/candlestick/crypto_sample.zip) to a ``.\n\n This test dataset contains:\n - Second-by-second data for the most-traded crypto-assets. This time-series data is best suited for\n optimization in a [hypertable][hypertables-section].\n - A list of asset symbols and company names. This is best suited for a regular relational table.\n\n To import up to 100 GB of data directly from your current Postgres-based database,\n [migrate with downtime][migrate-with-downtime] using native Postgres tooling. To seamlessly import 100GB-10TB+\n of data, use the [live migration][migrate-live] tooling supplied by Tiger Data. To add data from non-Postgres data\n sources, see [Import and ingest data][data-ingest].\n\n 1. Upload data into a hypertable:\n\n To more fully understand how to create a hypertable, how hypertables work, and how to optimize them for\n performance by tuning chunk intervals and enabling chunk skipping, see\n [the hypertables documentation][hypertables-section].\n\n\n\n\n\n The Tiger Cloud Console data upload creates hypertables and relational tables from the data you are uploading:\n 1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode], select the service to add data to, then click `Actions` > `Import data` > `Upload .CSV`.\n 1. Click to browse, or drag and drop `/tutorial_sample_tick.csv` to upload.\n 1. Leave the default settings for the delimiter, skipping the header, and creating a new table.\n 1. In `Table`, provide `crypto_ticks` as the new table name.\n 1. Enable `hypertable partition` for the `time` column and click `Process CSV file`.\n\n The upload wizard creates a hypertable containing the data from the CSV file.\n 1. When the data is uploaded, close `Upload .CSV`.\n\n If you want to have a quick look at your data, press `Run` .\n 1. Repeat the process with `/tutorial_sample_assets.csv` and rename to `crypto_assets`.\n\n There is no time-series data in this table, so you don't see the `hypertable partition` option.\n\n\n\n\n\n 1. In Terminal, navigate to `` and connect to your service.\n ```bash\n psql -d \"postgres://:@:/\"\n ```\n You use your [connection details][connection-info] to fill in this Postgres connection string.\n\n 2. Create tables for the data to import:\n\n - For the time-series data:\n\n 1. In your sql client, create a hypertable:\n\n Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes], remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data. For example:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_ticks (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n symbol TEXT,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION,\n day_volume NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby = 'symbol'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n - For the relational data:\n\n In your sql client, create a normal Postgres table:\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_assets (\n symbol TEXT NOT NULL,\n name TEXT NOT NULL\n );\n ```\n 1. Speed up data ingestion:\n\n When you set `timescaledb.enable_direct_compress_copy` your data gets compressed in memory during ingestion with `COPY` statements.\nBy writing the compressed batches immediately in the columnstore, the IO footprint is significantly lower.\nAlso, the [columnstore policy][add_columnstore_policy] you set is less important, `INSERT` already produces compressed chunks.\n\n\n\nPlease note that this feature is a **tech preview** and not production-ready.\nUsing this feature could lead to regressed query performance and/or storage ratio, if the ingested batches are not\ncorrectly ordered or are of too high cardinality.\n\n\n\nTo enable in-memory data compression during ingestion:\n\n```sql\nSET timescaledb.enable_direct_compress_copy=on;\n```\n\n**Important facts**\n- High cardinality use cases do not produce good batches and lead to degreaded query performance.\n- The columnstore is optimized to store 1000 records per batch, which is the optimal format for ingestion per segment by.\n- WAL records are written for the compressed batches rather than the individual tuples.\n- Currently only `COPY` is support, `INSERT` will eventually follow.\n- Best results are achieved for batch ingestion with 1000 records or more, upper boundary is 10.000 records.\n- Continous Aggregates are **not** supported at the moment.\n\n 3. Upload the dataset to your service:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY crypto_ticks from './tutorial_sample_tick.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;\n ```\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY crypto_assets from './tutorial_sample_assets.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Have a quick look at your data**\n\n You query hypertables in exactly the same way as you would a relational Postgres table.\n Use one of the following SQL editors to run a query and see the data you uploaded:\n - **Data mode**: write queries, visualize data, and share your results in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode] for all your Tiger Cloud services. This feature is not available under the Free pricing plan.\n - **SQL editor**: write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode] for a Tiger Cloud service.\n - **psql**: easily run queries on your Tiger Cloud services or self-hosted TimescaleDB deployment from Terminal.\n\n \n\n## Enhance query performance for analytics\n\nHypercore is the TimescaleDB hybrid row-columnar storage engine, designed specifically for real-time\nanalytics and\npowered by time-series data. The advantage of hypercore is its ability to seamlessly switch between row-oriented and\ncolumn-oriented storage. This flexibility enables TimescaleDB to deliver the best of both worlds, solving the key\nchallenges in real-time analytics.\n\n![Move from rowstore to columstore in hypercore](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypercore.png )\n\nWhen TimescaleDB converts chunks from the rowstore to the columnstore, multiple records are grouped into a single row.\nThe columns of this row hold an array-like structure that stores all the data. Because a single row takes up less disk\nspace, you can reduce your chunk size by up to 98%, and can also speed up your queries. This helps you save on storage costs,\nand keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.\n\nhypercore is enabled by default when you call [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table]. Best practice is to compress\ndata that is no longer needed for highest performance queries, but is still accessed regularly in the columnstore.\nFor example, yesterday's market data.\n\n1. **Add a policy to convert chunks to the columnstore at a specific time interval**\n\n For example, yesterday's data:\n ``` sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('crypto_ticks', after => INTERVAL '1d');\n ```\n If you have not configured a `segmentby` column, TimescaleDB chooses one for you based on the data in your\n hypertable. For more information on how to tune your hypertables for the best performance, see\n [efficient queries][secondary-indexes].\n\n1. **View your data space saving**\n\n When you convert data to the columnstore, as well as being optimized for analytics, it is compressed by more than\n 90%. This helps you save on storage costs and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed. To see the amount of space\n saved, click `Explorer` > `public` > `crypto_ticks`.\n\n ![Columnstore data savings](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-columstore-data-savings.png )\n\n## Write fast and efficient analytical queries\n\nAggregation is a way of combing data to get insights from it. Average, sum, and count are all\nexamples of simple aggregates. However, with large amounts of data, aggregation slows things down, quickly.\nContinuous aggregates are a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically in\nthe background as new data is added, or old data is modified. Changes to your dataset are tracked,\nand the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is automatically updated in the background.\n\n![Reduced data calls with continuous aggregates](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/continuous-aggregate.png)\n\nYou create continuous aggregates on uncompressed data in high-performance storage. They continue to work\non [data in the columnstore][test-drive-enable-compression]\nand [rarely accessed data in tiered storage][test-drive-tiered-storage]. You can even\ncreate [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs].\n\nYou use time buckets to create a continuous aggregate. Time buckets aggregate data in hypertables by time\ninterval. For example, a 5-minute, 1-hour, or 3-day bucket. The data grouped in a time bucket uses a single\ntimestamp. Continuous aggregates minimize the number of records that you need to look up to perform your\nquery.\n\nThis section shows you how to run fast analytical queries using time buckets and continuous aggregate in\nTiger Cloud Console. You can also do this using psql.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis feature is not available under the Free pricing plan.\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode], select your service in the connection drop-down in the top right.\n\n1. **Create a continuous aggregate**\n\n For a continuous aggregate, data grouped using a time bucket is stored in a\n Postgres `MATERIALIZED VIEW` in a hypertable. `timescaledb.continuous` ensures that this data\n is always up to date.\n In data mode, use the following code to create a continuous aggregate on the real-time data in\n the `crypto_ticks` table:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW assets_candlestick_daily\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', \"time\") AS day,\n symbol,\n max(price) AS high,\n first(price, time) AS open,\n last(price, time) AS close,\n min(price) AS low\n FROM crypto_ticks srt\n GROUP BY day, symbol;\n ```\n\n This continuous aggregate creates the [candlestick chart][charts] data you use to visualize\n the price change of an asset.\n\n1. **Create a policy to refresh the view every hour**\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('assets_candlestick_daily',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 weeks',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '24 hours',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '3 hours');\n ```\n\n1. **Have a quick look at your data**\n\n You query continuous aggregates exactly the same way as your other tables. To query the `assets_candlestick_daily`\n continuous aggregate for all assets:\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n1. **In [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode], select the service you uploaded data to**\n1. **Click `Explorer` > `Continuous Aggregates` > `Create a Continuous Aggregate` next to the `crypto_ticks` hypertable**\n1. **Create a view called `assets_candlestick_daily` on the `time` column with an interval of `1 day`, then click `Next step`**\n ![continuous aggregate wizard](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/continuous-aggregate-wizard-tiger-console.png )\n1. **Update the view SQL with the following functions, then click `Run`**\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW assets_candlestick_daily\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', \"time\") AS bucket,\n symbol,\n max(price) AS high,\n first(price, time) AS open,\n last(price, time) AS close,\n min(price) AS low\n FROM \"public\".\"crypto_ticks\" srt\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol;\n ```\n1. **When the view is created, click `Next step`**\n1. **Define a refresh policy with the following values:**\n - `How far back do you want to materialize?`: `3 weeks`\n - `What recent data to exclude?`: `24 hours`\n - `How often do you want the job to run?`: `3 hours`\n1. **Click `Next step`, then click `Run`**\n\nTiger Cloud creates the continuous aggregate and displays the aggregate ID in Tiger Cloud Console. Click `DONE` to close the wizard.\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the change in terms of query time and data returned between a regular query and\na continuous aggregate, run the query part of the continuous aggregate\n( `SELECT ...GROUP BY day, symbol;` ) and compare the results.\n\n## Slash storage charges\n\n\n\nIn the previous sections, you used continuous aggregates to make fast analytical queries, and\nhypercore to reduce storage costs on frequently accessed data. To reduce storage costs even more,\nyou create tiering policies to move rarely accessed data to the object store. The object store is\nlow-cost bottomless data storage built on Amazon S3. However, no matter the tier, you can\n[query your data when you need][querying-tiered-data]. Tiger Cloud seamlessly accesses the correct storage\ntier and generates the response.\n\n![Tiered storage](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiered-storage.png )\n\nTo set up data tiering:\n\n1. **Enable data tiering**\n\n 1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode], select the service to modify.\n\n 1. In `Explorer`, click `Storage configuration` > `Tiering storage`, then click `Enable tiered storage`.\n\n ![Enable tiered storage](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/enable-tiered-storage-tiger-console.png)\n\n When tiered storage is enabled, you see the amount of data in the tiered object storage.\n\n1. **Set the time interval when data is tiered**\n\n In Tiger Cloud Console, click `Data` to switch to the data mode, then enable data tiering on a hypertable with the following query:\n ```sql\n SELECT add_tiering_policy('assets_candlestick_daily', INTERVAL '3 weeks');\n ```\n\n1. **Query tiered data**\n\n You enable reads from tiered data for each query, for a session or for all future\n sessions. To run a single query on tiered data:\n\n 1. Enable reads on tiered data:\n ```sql\n set timescaledb.enable_tiered_reads = true\n ```\n 1. Query the data:\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM crypto_ticks srt LIMIT 10\n ```\n 1. Disable reads on tiered data:\n ```sql\n set timescaledb.enable_tiered_reads = false;\n ```\n For more information, see [Querying tiered data][querying-tiered-data].\n\n## Reduce the risk of downtime and data loss\n\n\n\nBy default, all Tiger Cloud services have rapid recovery enabled. However, if your app has very low tolerance\nfor downtime, Tiger Cloud offers high-availability replicas. HA replicas are exact, up-to-date copies\nof your database hosted in multiple AWS availability zones (AZ) within the same region as your primary node.\nHA replicas automatically take over operations if the original primary data node becomes unavailable.\nThe primary node streams its write-ahead log (WAL) to the replicas to minimize the chances of\ndata loss during failover.\n\n1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][cloud-login], select the service to enable replication for.\n1. Click `Operations`, then select `High availability`.\n1. Choose your replication strategy, then click `Change configuration`.\n\n ![Tiger Cloud service replicas](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-ha-replicas.png)\n\n1. In `Change high availability configuration`, click `Change config`.\n\nFor more information, see [High availability][high-availability].\n\nWhat next?

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install [Rails][rails-guide].\n\n## Connect a Rails app to your service\n\nEvery Tiger Cloud service is a 100% Postgres database hosted in Tiger Cloud with\nTiger Data extensions such as TimescaleDB. You connect to your Tiger Cloud service\nfrom a standard Rails app configured for Postgres.\n\n1. **Create a new Rails app configured for Postgres**\n\n Rails creates and bundles your app, then installs the standard Postgres Gems.\n\n ```bash\n rails new my_app -d=postgresql\n cd my_app\n ```\n\n1. **Install the TimescaleDB gem**\n\n 1. Open `Gemfile`, add the following line, then save your changes:\n\n ```ruby\n gem 'timescaledb'\n ```\n\n 1. In Terminal, run the following command:\n\n ```bash\n bundle install\n ```\n\n1. **Connect your app to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n 1. In `/config/database.yml` update the configuration to read securely connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n by adding `url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>` to the default configuration:\n\n ```yaml\n default: &default\n adapter: postgresql\n encoding: unicode\n pool: <%= ENV.fetch(\"RAILS_MAX_THREADS\") { 5 } %>\n url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>\n ```\n\n 1. Set the environment variable for `DATABASE_URL` to the value of `Service URL` from\n your [connection details][connection-info]\n ```bash\n export DATABASE_URL=\"value of Service URL\"\n ```\n\n 1. Create the database:\n - **Tiger Cloud**: nothing to do. The database is part of your Tiger Cloud service.\n - **Self-hosted TimescaleDB**, create the database for the project:\n\n ```bash\n rails db:create\n ```\n\n 1. Run migrations:\n\n ```bash\n rails db:migrate\n ```\n\n 1. Verify the connection from your app to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```bash\n echo \"\\dx\" | rails dbconsole\n ```\n\n The result shows the list of extensions in your Tiger Cloud service\n\n | Name | Version | Schema | Description |\n | -- | -- | -- | -- |\n | pg_buffercache | 1.5 | public | examine the shared buffer cache|\n | pg_stat_statements | 1.11 | public | track planning and execution statistics of all SQL statements executed|\n | plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language|\n | postgres_fdw | 1.1 | public | foreign-data wrapper for remote Postgres servers|\n | timescaledb | 2.18.1 | public | Enables scalable inserts and complex queries for time-series data (Community Edition)|\n | timescaledb_toolkit | 1.19.0 | public | Library of analytical hyperfunctions, time-series pipelining, and other SQL utilities|\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables designed to simplify and accelerate data analysis. Anything\nyou can do with regular Postgres tables, you can do with hypertables - but much faster and more conveniently.\n\nIn this section, you use the helpers in the TimescaleDB gem to create and manage a [hypertable][about-hypertables].\n\n1. **Generate a migration to create the page loads table**\n\n ```bash\n rails generate migration create_page_loads\n ```\n\n This creates the `/db/migrate/_create_page_loads.rb` migration file.\n\n1. **Add hypertable options**\n\n Replace the contents of `/db/migrate/_create_page_loads.rb`\n with the following:\n\n ```ruby\n class CreatePageLoads < ActiveRecord::Migration[8.0]\n def change\n hypertable_options = {\n time_column: 'created_at',\n chunk_time_interval: '1 day',\n compress_segmentby: 'path',\n compress_orderby: 'created_at',\n compress_after: '7 days',\n drop_after: '30 days'\n }\n\n create_table :page_loads, id: false, primary_key: [:created_at, :user_agent, :path], hypertable: hypertable_options do |t|\n t.timestamptz :created_at, null: false\n t.string :user_agent\n t.string :path\n t.float :performance\n end\n end\n end\n ```\n\n The `id` column is not included in the table. This is because TimescaleDB requires that any `UNIQUE` or `PRIMARY KEY`\n indexes on the table include all partitioning columns. In this case, this is the time column. A new\n Rails model includes a `PRIMARY KEY` index for id by default: either remove the column or make sure that the index\n includes time as part of a \"composite key.\"\n\n For more information, check the Roby docs around [composite primary keys][rails-compostite-primary-keys].\n\n1. **Create a `PageLoad` model**\n\n Create a new file called `/app/models/page_load.rb` and add the following code:\n\n ```ruby\n class PageLoad < ApplicationRecord\n extend Timescaledb::ActsAsHypertable\n include Timescaledb::ContinuousAggregatesHelper\n\n acts_as_hypertable time_column: \"created_at\",\n segment_by: \"path\",\n value_column: \"performance\"\n\n scope :chrome_users, -> { where(\"user_agent LIKE ?\", \"%Chrome%\") }\n scope :firefox_users, -> { where(\"user_agent LIKE ?\", \"%Firefox%\") }\n scope :safari_users, -> { where(\"user_agent LIKE ?\", \"%Safari%\") }\n\n scope :performance_stats, -> {\n select(\"stats_agg(#{value_column}) as stats_agg\")\n }\n\n scope :slow_requests, -> { where(\"performance > ?\", 1.0) }\n scope :fast_requests, -> { where(\"performance < ?\", 0.1) }\n\n continuous_aggregates scopes: [:performance_stats],\n timeframes: [:minute, :hour, :day],\n refresh_policy: {\n minute: {\n start_offset: '3 minute',\n end_offset: '1 minute',\n schedule_interval: '1 minute'\n },\n hour: {\n start_offset: '3 hours',\n end_offset: '1 hour',\n schedule_interval: '1 minute'\n },\n day: {\n start_offset: '3 day',\n end_offset: '1 day',\n schedule_interval: '1 minute'\n }\n }\n end\n ```\n\n1. **Run the migration**\n\n ```bash\n rails db:migrate\n ```\n\n## Insert data your service\n\nThe TimescaleDB gem provides efficient ways to insert data into hypertables. This section\nshows you how to ingest test data into your hypertable.\n\n1. **Create a controller to handle page loads**\n\n Create a new file called `/app/controllers/application_controller.rb` and add the following code:\n\n ```ruby\n class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base\n around_action :track_page_load\n\n private\n\n def track_page_load\n start_time = Time.current\n yield\n end_time = Time.current\n\n PageLoad.create(\n path: request.path,\n user_agent: request.user_agent,\n performance: (end_time - start_time)\n )\n end\n end\n ```\n\n1. **Generate some test data**\n\n Use `bin/console` to join a Rails console session and run the following code\n to define some random page load access data:\n\n ```ruby\n def generate_sample_page_loads(total: 1000)\n time = 1.month.ago\n paths = %w[/ /about /contact /products /blog]\n browsers = [\n \"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.114 Safari/537.36\",\n \"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0\",\n \"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.1.1 Safari/605.1.15\"\n ]\n\n total.times.map do\n time = time + rand(60).seconds\n {\n path: paths.sample,\n user_agent: browsers.sample,\n performance: rand(0.1..2.0),\n created_at: time,\n updated_at: time\n }\n end\n end\n ```\n\n1. **Insert the generated data into your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n ```bash\n PageLoad.insert_all(generate_sample_page_loads, returning: false)\n ```\n\n1. **Validate the test data in your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n ```bash\n PageLoad.count\n PageLoad.first\n ```\n\n## Reference\n\nThis section lists the most common tasks you might perform with the TimescaleDB gem.\n\n### Query scopes\n\nThe TimescaleDB gem provides several convenient scopes for querying your time-series data.\n\n\n- Built-in time-based scopes:\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.last_hour.count\n PageLoad.today.count\n PageLoad.this_week.count\n PageLoad.this_month.count\n ```\n\n- Browser-specific scopes:\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.chrome_users.last_hour.count\n PageLoad.firefox_users.last_hour.count\n PageLoad.safari_users.last_hour.count\n\n PageLoad.slow_requests.last_hour.count\n PageLoad.fast_requests.last_hour.count\n ```\n\n- Query continuous aggregates:\n\n This query fetches the average and standard deviation from the performance stats for the `/products` path over the last day.\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad::PerformanceStatsPerMinute.last_hour\n PageLoad::PerformanceStatsPerHour.last_day\n PageLoad::PerformanceStatsPerDay.last_month\n\n stats = PageLoad::PerformanceStatsPerHour.last_day.where(path: '/products').select(\"average(stats_agg) as average, stddev(stats_agg) as stddev\").first\n puts \"Average: #{stats.average}\"\n puts \"Standard Deviation: #{stats.stddev}\"\n ```\n\n### TimescaleDB features\n\nThe TimescaleDB gem provides utility methods to access hypertable and chunk information. Every model that uses\nthe `acts_as_hypertable` method has access to these methods.\n\n\n#### Access hypertable and chunk information\n\n- View chunk or hypertable information:\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.chunks.count\n PageLoad.hypertable.detailed_size\n ```\n\n- Compress/Decompress chunks:\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.chunks.uncompressed.first.compress! # Compress the first uncompressed chunk\n PageLoad.chunks.compressed.first.decompress! # Decompress the oldest chunk\n PageLoad.hypertable.compression_stats # View compression stats\n\n ```\n\n#### Access hypertable stats\n\nYou collect hypertable stats using methods that provide insights into your hypertable's structure, size, and compression\nstatus:\n\n- Get basic hypertable information:\n\n ```ruby\n hypertable = PageLoad.hypertable\n hypertable.hypertable_name # The name of your hypertable\n hypertable.schema_name # The schema where the hypertable is located\n ```\n\n- Get detailed size information:\n\n ```ruby\n hypertable.detailed_size # Get detailed size information for the hypertable\n hypertable.compression_stats # Get compression statistics\n hypertable.chunks_detailed_size # Get chunk information\n hypertable.approximate_row_count # Get approximate row count\n hypertable.dimensions.map(&:column_name) # Get dimension information\n hypertable.continuous_aggregates.map(&:view_name) # Get continuous aggregate view names\n ```\n\n#### Continuous aggregates\n\nThe `continuous_aggregates` method generates a class for each continuous aggregate.\n\n- Get all the continuous aggregate classes:\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.descendants # Get all continuous aggregate classes\n ```\n\n- Manually refresh a continuous aggregate:\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.refresh_aggregates\n ```\n\n- Create or drop a continuous aggregate:\n\n Create or drop all the continuous aggregates in the proper order to build them hierarchically. See more about how it\n works in this [blog post][ruby-blog-post].\n\n ```ruby\n PageLoad.create_continuous_aggregates\n PageLoad.drop_continuous_aggregates\n ```\n\n\n\n\n## Next steps\n\nNow that you have integrated the ruby gem into your app:\n\n* Learn more about the [TimescaleDB gem](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-ruby).\n* Check out the [official docs](https://timescale.github.io/timescaledb-ruby/).\n* Follow the [LTTB][LTTB], [Open AI long-term storage][open-ai-tutorial], and [candlesticks][candlesticks] tutorials.\n\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install the `psycopg2` library.\n\n For more information, see the [psycopg2 documentation][psycopg2-docs].\n* Create a [Python virtual environment][virtual-env]. [](#)\n\n## Connect to TimescaleDB\n\nIn this section, you create a connection to TimescaleDB using the `psycopg2`\nlibrary. This library is one of the most popular Postgres libraries for\nPython. It allows you to execute raw SQL queries efficiently and safely, and\nprevents common attacks such as SQL injection.\n\n1. Import the psycogpg2 library:\n\n ```python\n import psycopg2\n ```\n\n1. Locate your TimescaleDB credentials and use them to compose a connection\n string for `psycopg2`.\n\n You'll need:\n\n * password\n * username\n * host URL\n * port\n * database name\n\n1. Compose your connection string variable as a\n [libpq connection string][pg-libpq-string], using this format:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n ```\n\n If you're using a hosted version of TimescaleDB, or generally require an SSL\n connection, use this version instead:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n Alternatively you can specify each parameter in the connection string as follows\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"dbname=tsdb user=tsdbadmin password=secret host=host.com port=5432 sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n\n\n This method of composing a connection string is for test or development\n purposes only. For production, use environment variables for sensitive\n details like your password, hostname, and port number.\n\n\n\n1. Use the `psycopg2` [connect function][psycopg2-connect] to create a new\n database session and create a new [cursor object][psycopg2-cursor] to\n interact with the database.\n\n In your `main` function, add these lines:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n with psycopg2.connect(CONNECTION) as conn:\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n # use the cursor to interact with your database\n # cursor.execute(\"SELECT * FROM table\")\n ```\n\n Alternatively, you can create a connection object and pass the object\n around as needed, like opening a cursor to perform database operations:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n conn = psycopg2.connect(CONNECTION)\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n # use the cursor to interact with your database\n cursor.execute(\"SELECT 'hello world'\")\n print(cursor.fetchone())\n ```\n\n## Create a relational table\n\nIn this section, you create a table called `sensors` which holds the ID, type,\nand location of your fictional sensors. Additionally, you create a hypertable\ncalled `sensor_data` which holds the measurements of those sensors. The\nmeasurements contain the time, sensor_id, temperature reading, and CPU\npercentage of the sensors.\n\n1. Compose a string which contains the SQL statement to create a relational\n table. This example creates a table called `sensors`, with columns `id`,\n `type` and `location`:\n\n ```python\n query_create_sensors_table = \"\"\"CREATE TABLE sensors (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type VARCHAR(50),\n location VARCHAR(50)\n );\n \"\"\"\n ```\n\n1. Open a cursor, execute the query you created in the previous step, and\n commit the query to make the changes persistent. Afterward, close the cursor\n to clean up:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n # see definition in Step 1\n cursor.execute(query_create_sensors_table)\n conn.commit()\n cursor.close()\n ```\n\n## Create a hypertable\n\nWhen you have created the relational table, you can create a hypertable.\nCreating tables and indexes, altering tables, inserting data, selecting data,\nand most other tasks are executed on the hypertable.\n\n1. Create a string variable that contains the `CREATE TABLE` SQL statement for\n your hypertable. Notice how the hypertable has the compulsory time column:\n\n ```python\n # create sensor data hypertable\n query_create_sensordata_table = \"\"\"CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id)\n );\n \"\"\"\n ```\n\n2. Formulate a `SELECT` statement that converts the `sensor_data` table to a\n hypertable. You must specify the table name to convert to a hypertable, and\n the name of the time column as the two arguments. For more information, see\n the [`create_hypertable` docs][create-hypertable-docs]:\n\n ```python\n query_create_sensordata_hypertable = \"SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));\"\n ```\n\n\n\n\tThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\n3. Open a cursor with the connection, execute the statements from the previous\n steps, commit your changes, and close the cursor:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n cursor.execute(query_create_sensordata_table)\n cursor.execute(query_create_sensordata_hypertable)\n # commit changes to the database to make changes persistent\n conn.commit()\n cursor.close()\n ```\n\n## Insert rows of data\n\nYou can insert data into your hypertables in several different ways. In this\nsection, you can use `psycopg2` with prepared statements, or you can use\n`pgcopy` for a faster insert.\n\n1. This example inserts a list of tuples, or relational data, called `sensors`,\n into the relational table named `sensors`. Open a cursor with a connection\n to the database, use prepared statements to formulate the `INSERT` SQL\n statement, and then execute that statement:\n\n ```python\n sensors = [('a', 'floor'), ('a', 'ceiling'), ('b', 'floor'), ('b', 'ceiling')]\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n for sensor in sensors:\n try:\n cursor.execute(\"INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES (%s, %s);\",\n (sensor[0], sensor[1]))\n except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error:\n print(error.pgerror)\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)Alternatively, you can pass variables to the `cursor.execute`\n function and separate the formulation of the SQL statement, `SQL`, from the\n data being passed with it into the prepared statement, `data`:\n\n ```python\n SQL = \"INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES (%s, %s);\"\n sensors = [('a', 'floor'), ('a', 'ceiling'), ('b', 'floor'), ('b', 'ceiling')]\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n for sensor in sensors:\n try:\n data = (sensor[0], sensor[1])\n cursor.execute(SQL, data)\n except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error:\n print(error.pgerror)\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\nIf you choose to use `pgcopy` instead, install the `pgcopy` package\n[using pip][pgcopy-install], and then add this line to your list of\n`import` statements:\n\n```python\nfrom pgcopy import CopyManager\n```\n\n1. Generate some random sensor data using the `generate_series` function\n provided by Postgres. This example inserts a total of 480 rows of data (4\n readings, every 5 minutes, for 24 hours). In your application, this would be\n the query that saves your time-series data into the hypertable:\n\n ```python\n # for sensors with ids 1-4\n for id in range(1, 4, 1):\n data = (id,)\n # create random data\n simulate_query = \"\"\"SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n %s as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu;\n \"\"\"\n cursor.execute(simulate_query, data)\n values = cursor.fetchall()\n ```\n\n1. Define the column names of the table you want to insert data into. This\n example uses the `sensor_data` hypertable created earlier. This hypertable\n consists of columns named `time`, `sensor_id`, `temperature` and `cpu`. The\n column names are defined in a list of strings called `cols`:\n\n ```python\n cols = ['time', 'sensor_id', 'temperature', 'cpu']\n ```\n\n1. Create an instance of the `pgcopy` CopyManager, `mgr`, and pass the\n connection variable, hypertable name, and list of column names. Then use the\n `copy` function of the CopyManager to insert the data into the database\n quickly using `pgcopy`.\n\n ```python\n mgr = CopyManager(conn, 'sensor_data', cols)\n mgr.copy(values)\n ```\n\n1. Commit to persist changes:\n\n ```python\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)The full sample code to insert data into TimescaleDB using\n `pgcopy`, using the example of sensor data from four sensors:\n\n ```python\n # insert using pgcopy\n def fast_insert(conn):\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n\n # for sensors with ids 1-4\n for id in range(1, 4, 1):\n data = (id,)\n # create random data\n simulate_query = \"\"\"SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n %s as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu;\n \"\"\"\n cursor.execute(simulate_query, data)\n values = cursor.fetchall()\n\n # column names of the table you're inserting into\n cols = ['time', 'sensor_id', 'temperature', 'cpu']\n\n # create copy manager with the target table and insert\n mgr = CopyManager(conn, 'sensor_data', cols)\n mgr.copy(values)\n\n # commit after all sensor data is inserted\n # could also commit after each sensor insert is done\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)You can also check if the insertion worked:\n\n ```python\n cursor.execute(\"SELECT * FROM sensor_data LIMIT 5;\")\n print(cursor.fetchall())\n ```\n\n## Execute a query\n\nThis section covers how to execute queries against your database.\n\nThe first procedure shows a simple `SELECT *` query. For more complex queries,\nyou can use prepared statements to ensure queries are executed safely against\nthe database.\n\nFor more information about properly using placeholders in `psycopg2`, see the\n[basic module usage document][psycopg2-docs-basics].\nFor more information about how to execute more complex queries in `psycopg2`,\nsee the [psycopg2 documentation][psycopg2-docs-basics].\n\n### Execute a query\n\n1. Define the SQL query you'd like to run on the database. This example is a\n simple `SELECT` statement querying each row from the previously created\n `sensor_data` table.\n\n ```python\n query = \"SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\"\n ```\n\n1. Open a cursor from the existing database connection, `conn`, and then execute\n the query you defined:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n query = \"SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\"\n cursor.execute(query)\n ```\n\n1. To access all resulting rows returned by your query, use one of `pyscopg2`'s\n [results retrieval methods][results-retrieval-methods],\n such as `fetchall()` or `fetchmany()`. This example prints the results of\n the query, row by row. Note that the result of `fetchall()` is a list of\n tuples, so you can handle them accordingly:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n query = \"SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\"\n cursor.execute(query)\n for row in cursor.fetchall():\n print(row)\n cursor.close()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)If you want a list of dictionaries instead, you can define the\n cursor using [`DictCursor`][dictcursor-docs]:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor(cursor_factory=psycopg2.extras.DictCursor)\n ```\n\n Using this cursor, `cursor.fetchall()` returns a list of dictionary-like objects.\n\nFor more complex queries, you can use prepared statements to ensure queries are\nexecuted safely against the database.\n\n### Execute queries using prepared statements\n\n1. Write the query using prepared statements:\n\n ```python\n # query with placeholders\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n query = \"\"\"\n SELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.location = %s AND sensors.type = %s\n GROUP BY five_min\n ORDER BY five_min DESC;\n \"\"\"\n location = \"floor\"\n sensor_type = \"a\"\n data = (location, sensor_type)\n cursor.execute(query, data)\n results = cursor.fetchall()\n ```\n\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install [Node.js][node-install].\n* Install the Node.js package manager [npm][npm-install].\n\n## Connect to TimescaleDB\n\nIn this section, you create a connection to TimescaleDB with a common Node.js\nORM (object relational mapper) called [Sequelize][sequelize-info].\n\n1. At the command prompt, initialize a new Node.js app:\n\n ```bash\n npm init -y\n ```\n\n This creates a `package.json` file in your directory, which contains all\n of the dependencies for your project. It looks something like this:\n\n ```json\n {\n \"name\": \"node-sample\",\n \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n \"description\": \"\",\n \"main\": \"index.js\",\n \"scripts\": {\n \"test\": \"echo \\\"Error: no test specified\\\" && exit 1\"\n },\n \"keywords\": [],\n \"author\": \"\",\n \"license\": \"ISC\"\n }\n ```\n\n1. Install Express.js:\n\n ```bash\n npm install express\n ```\n\n1. Create a simple web page to check the connection. Create a new file called\n `index.js`, with this content:\n\n ```java\n const express = require('express')\n const app = express()\n const port = 3000;\n\n app.use(express.json());\n app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))\n app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`))\n ```\n\n1. Test your connection by starting the application:\n\n ```bash\n node index.js\n ```\n\n In your web browser, navigate to `http://localhost:3000`. If the connection\n is successful, it shows \"Hello World!\"\n\n1. Add Sequelize to your project:\n\n ```bash\n npm install sequelize sequelize-cli pg pg-hstore\n ```\n\n1. Locate your TimescaleDB credentials and use them to compose a connection\n string for Sequelize.\n\n You'll need:\n\n * password\n * username\n * host URL\n * port\n * database name\n\n1. Compose your connection string variable, using this format:\n\n ```java\n 'postgres://:@:/'\n ```\n\n1. Open the `index.js` file you created. Require Sequelize in the application,\n and declare the connection string:\n\n ```java\n const Sequelize = require('sequelize')\n const sequelize = new Sequelize('postgres://:@:/',\n {\n dialect: 'postgres',\n protocol: 'postgres',\n dialectOptions: {\n ssl: {\n require: true,\n rejectUnauthorized: false\n }\n }\n })\n ```\n\n Make sure you add the SSL settings in the `dialectOptions` sections. You\n can't connect to TimescaleDB using SSL without them.\n\n1. You can test the connection by adding these lines to `index.js` after the\n `app.get` statement:\n\n ```java\n sequelize.authenticate().then(() => {\n console.log('Connection has been established successfully.');\n }).catch(err => {\n console.error('Unable to connect to the database:', err);\n });\n ```\n\n Start the application on the command line:\n\n ```bash\n node index.js\n ```\n\n If the connection is successful, you'll get output like this:\n\n ```bash\n Example app listening at http://localhost:3000\n Executing (default): SELECT 1+1 AS result\n Connection has been established successfully.\n ```\n\n## Create a relational table\n\nIn this section, you create a relational table called `page_loads`.\n\n1. Use the Sequelize command line tool to create a table and model called `page_loads`:\n\n ```bash\n npx sequelize model:generate --name page_loads \\\n --attributes userAgent:string,time:date\n ```\n\n The output looks similar to this:\n\n ```bash\n Sequelize CLI [Node: 12.16.2, CLI: 5.5.1, ORM: 5.21.11]\n\n New model was created at .\n New migration was created at .\n ```\n\n1. Edit the migration file so that it sets up a migration key:\n\n ```java\n 'use strict';\n module.exports = {\n up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {\n await queryInterface.createTable('page_loads', {\n userAgent: {\n primaryKey: true,\n type: Sequelize.STRING\n },\n time: {\n primaryKey: true,\n type: Sequelize.DATE\n }\n });\n },\n down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {\n await queryInterface.dropTable('page_loads');\n }\n };\n ```\n\n1. Migrate the change and make sure that it is reflected in the database:\n\n ```bash\n npx sequelize db:migrate\n ```\n\n The output looks similar to this:\n\n ```bash\n Sequelize CLI [Node: 12.16.2, CLI: 5.5.1, ORM: 5.21.11]\n\n Loaded configuration file \"config/config.json\".\n Using environment \"development\".\n == 20200528195725-create-page-loads: migrating =======\n == 20200528195725-create-page-loads: migrated (0.443s)\n ```\n\n1. Create the `PageLoads` model in your code. In the `index.js` file, above the\n `app.use` statement, add these lines:\n\n ```java\n let PageLoads = sequelize.define('page_loads', {\n userAgent: {type: Sequelize.STRING, primaryKey: true },\n time: {type: Sequelize.DATE, primaryKey: true }\n }, { timestamps: false });\n ```\n\n1. Instantiate a `PageLoads` object and save it to the database.\n\n## Create a hypertable\n\nWhen you have created the relational table, you can create a hypertable.\nCreating tables and indexes, altering tables, inserting data, selecting data,\nand most other tasks are executed on the hypertable.\n\n1. Create a migration to modify the `page_loads` relational table, and change\n it to a hypertable by first running the following command:\n\n ```bash\n npx sequelize migration:generate --name add_hypertable\n ```\n\n The output looks similar to this:\n\n ```bash\n Sequelize CLI [Node: 12.16.2, CLI: 5.5.1, ORM: 5.21.11]\n\n migrations folder at already exists.\n New migration was created at /20200601202912-add_hypertable.js .\n ```\n\n1. In the `migrations` folder, there is now a new file. Open the\n file, and add this content:\n\n ```js\n 'use strict';\n\n module.exports = {\n up: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {\n return queryInterface.sequelize.query(\"SELECT create_hypertable('page_loads', by_range('time'));\");\n },\n\n down: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {\n }\n };\n ```\n\n\n\n\tThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\n1. At the command prompt, run the migration command:\n\n ```bash\n npx sequelize db:migrate\n ```\n\n The output looks similar to this:\n\n ```bash\n Sequelize CLI [Node: 12.16.2, CLI: 5.5.1, ORM: 5.21.11]\n\n Loaded configuration file \"config/config.json\".\n Using environment \"development\".\n == 20200601202912-add_hypertable: migrating =======\n == 20200601202912-add_hypertable: migrated (0.426s)\n ```\n\n## Insert rows of data\n\nThis section covers how to insert data into your hypertables.\n\n1. In the `index.js` file, modify the `/` route to get the `user-agent` from\n the request object (`req`) and the current timestamp. Then, call the\n `create` method on `PageLoads` model, supplying the user agent and timestamp\n parameters. The `create` call executes an `INSERT` on the database:\n\n ```java\n app.get('/', async (req, res) => {\n // get the user agent and current time\n const userAgent = req.get('user-agent');\n const time = new Date().getTime();\n\n try {\n // insert the record\n await PageLoads.create({\n userAgent, time\n });\n\n // send response\n res.send('Inserted!');\n } catch (e) {\n console.log('Error inserting data', e)\n }\n })\n ```\n\n## Execute a query\n\nThis section covers how to execute queries against your database. In this\nexample, every time the page is reloaded, all information currently in the table\nis displayed.\n\n1. Modify the `/` route in the `index.js` file to call the Sequelize `findAll`\n function and retrieve all data from the `page_loads` table using the\n `PageLoads` model:\n\n ```java\n app.get('/', async (req, res) => {\n // get the user agent and current time\n const userAgent = req.get('user-agent');\n const time = new Date().getTime();\n\n try {\n // insert the record\n await PageLoads.create({\n userAgent, time\n });\n\n // now display everything in the table\n const messages = await PageLoads.findAll();\n res.send(messages);\n } catch (e) {\n console.log('Error inserting data', e)\n }\n })\n ```\n\nNow, when you reload the page, you should see all of the rows currently in the\n`page_loads` table.\n\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n- Install [Go][golang-install].\n- Install the [PGX driver for Go][pgx-driver-github].\n\n## Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\nIn this section, you create a connection to Tiger Cloud using the PGX driver.\nPGX is a toolkit designed to help Go developers work directly with Postgres.\nYou can use it to help your Go application interact directly with TimescaleDB.\n\n1. Locate your TimescaleDB credentials and use them to compose a connection\n string for PGX.\n\n You'll need:\n\n * password\n * username\n * host URL\n * port number\n * database name\n\n1. Compose your connection string variable as a\n [libpq connection string][libpq-docs], using this format:\n\n ```go\n connStr := \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n ```\n\n If you're using a hosted version of TimescaleDB, or if you need an SSL\n connection, use this format instead:\n\n ```go\n connStr := \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. [](#)You can check that you're connected to your database with this\n hello world program:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5\"\n )\n\n //connect to database using a single connection\n func main() {\n /***********************************************/\n /* Single Connection to TimescaleDB/ PostgreSQL */\n /***********************************************/\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer conn.Close(ctx)\n\n //run a simple query to check our connection\n var greeting string\n err = conn.QueryRow(ctx, \"select 'Hello, Timescale!'\").Scan(&greeting)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"QueryRow failed: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(greeting)\n }\n\n ```\n\n If you'd like to specify your connection string as an environment variable,\n you can use this syntax to access it in place of the `connStr` variable:\n\n ```go\n os.Getenv(\"DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING\")\n ```\n\nAlternatively, you can connect to TimescaleDB using a connection pool.\nConnection pooling is useful to conserve computing resources, and can also\nresult in faster database queries:\n\n1. To create a connection pool that can be used for concurrent connections to\n your database, use the `pgxpool.New()` function instead of\n `pgx.Connect()`. Also note that this script imports\n `github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool`, instead of `pgx/v5` which was used to\n create a single connection:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n //run a simple query to check our connection\n var greeting string\n err = dbpool.QueryRow(ctx, \"select 'Hello, Tiger Data (but concurrently)'\").Scan(&greeting)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"QueryRow failed: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(greeting)\n }\n ```\n\n## Create a relational table\n\nIn this section, you create a table called `sensors` which holds the ID, type,\nand location of your fictional sensors. Additionally, you create a hypertable\ncalled `sensor_data` which holds the measurements of those sensors. The\nmeasurements contain the time, sensor_id, temperature reading, and CPU\npercentage of the sensors.\n\n1. Compose a string that contains the SQL statement to create a relational\n table. This example creates a table called `sensors`, with columns for ID,\n type, and location:\n\n ```go\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensors (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, type VARCHAR(50), location VARCHAR(50));`\n ```\n\n1. Execute the `CREATE TABLE` statement with the `Exec()` function on the\n `dbpool` object, using the arguments of the current context and the\n statement string you created:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Create relational table */\n /********************************************/\n\n //Create relational table called sensors\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensors (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, type VARCHAR(50), location VARCHAR(50));`\n _, err = dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryCreateTable)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to create SENSORS table: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully created relational table SENSORS\")\n }\n ```\n\n## Generate a hypertable\n\nWhen you have created the relational table, you can create a hypertable.\nCreating tables and indexes, altering tables, inserting data, selecting data,\nand most other tasks are executed on the hypertable.\n\n1. Create a variable for the `CREATE TABLE SQL` statement for your hypertable.\n Notice how the hypertable has the compulsory time column:\n\n ```go\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id));\n `\n ```\n\n1. Formulate the `SELECT` statement to convert the table into a hypertable. You\n must specify the table name to convert to a hypertable, and its time column\n name as the second argument. For more information, see the\n [`create_hypertable` docs][create-hypertable-docs]:\n\n ```go\n queryCreateHypertable := `SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));`\n ```\n\n\n\n\tThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\n1. Execute the `CREATE TABLE` statement and `SELECT` statement which converts\n the table into a hypertable. You can do this by calling the `Exec()`\n function on the `dbpool` object, using the arguments of the current context,\n and the `queryCreateTable` and `queryCreateHypertable` statement strings:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Create Hypertable */\n /********************************************/\n // Create hypertable of time-series data called sensor_data\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id));\n `\n\n queryCreateHypertable := `SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));`\n\n //execute statement\n _, err = dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryCreateTable+queryCreateHypertable)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to create the `sensor_data` hypertable: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully created hypertable `sensor_data`\")\n }\n ```\n\n## Insert rows of data\n\nYou can insert rows into your database in a couple of different\nways. Each of these example inserts the data from the two arrays, `sensorTypes` and\n`sensorLocations`, into the relational table named `sensors`.\n\nThe first example inserts a single row of data at a time. The second example\ninserts multiple rows of data. The third example uses batch inserts to speed up\nthe process.\n\n1. Open a connection pool to the database, then use the prepared statements to\n formulate an `INSERT` SQL statement, and execute it:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* INSERT into relational table */\n /********************************************/\n //Insert data into relational table\n\n // Slices of sample data to insert\n // observation i has type sensorTypes[i] and location sensorLocations[i]\n sensorTypes := []string{\"a\", \"a\", \"b\", \"b\"}\n sensorLocations := []string{\"floor\", \"ceiling\", \"floor\", \"ceiling\"}\n\n for i := range sensorTypes {\n //INSERT statement in SQL\n queryInsertMetadata := `INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES ($1, $2);`\n\n //Execute INSERT command\n _, err := dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryInsertMetadata, sensorTypes[i], sensorLocations[i])\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to insert data into database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Printf(\"Inserted sensor (%s, %s) into database \\n\", sensorTypes[i], sensorLocations[i])\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully inserted all sensors into database\")\n }\n ```\n\nInstead of inserting a single row of data at a time, you can use this procedure\nto insert multiple rows of data, instead:\n\n1. This example uses Postgres to generate some sample time-series to insert\n into the `sensor_data` hypertable. Define the SQL statement to generate the\n data, called `queryDataGeneration`. Then use the `.Query()` function to\n execute the statement and return the sample data. The data returned by the\n query is stored in `results`, a slice of structs, which is then used as a\n source to insert data into the hypertable:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n // Generate data to insert\n\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryDataGeneration := `\n SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n floor(random() * (3) + 1)::int as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu\n `\n //Execute query to generate samples for sensor_data hypertable\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryDataGeneration)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to generate sensor data: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully generated sensor data\")\n\n //Store data generated in slice results\n type result struct {\n Time time.Time\n SensorId int\n Temperature float64\n CPU float64\n }\n\n var results []result\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Time, &r.SensorId, &r.Temperature, &r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n }\n\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // Check contents of results slice\n fmt.Println(\"Contents of RESULTS slice\")\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n fmt.Printf(\"Time: %s | ID: %d | Temperature: %f | CPU: %f |\\n\", &r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }\n }\n ```\n\n1. Formulate an SQL insert statement for the `sensor_data` hypertable:\n\n ```go\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryInsertTimeseriesData := `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, temperature, cpu) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);\n `\n ```\n\n1. Execute the SQL statement for each sample in the results slice:\n\n ```go\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n _, err := dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryInsertTimeseriesData, r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to insert sample into TimescaleDB %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully inserted samples into sensor_data hypertable\")\n ```\n\n1. [](#)This example `main.go` generates sample data and inserts it into\n the `sensor_data` hypertable:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n /********************************************/\n /* Connect using Connection Pool */\n /********************************************/\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Insert data into hypertable */\n /********************************************/\n // Generate data to insert\n\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryDataGeneration := `\n SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n floor(random() * (3) + 1)::int as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu\n `\n //Execute query to generate samples for sensor_data hypertable\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryDataGeneration)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to generate sensor data: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully generated sensor data\")\n\n //Store data generated in slice results\n type result struct {\n Time time.Time\n SensorId int\n Temperature float64\n CPU float64\n }\n var results []result\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Time, &r.SensorId, &r.Temperature, &r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n }\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // Check contents of results slice\n fmt.Println(\"Contents of RESULTS slice\")\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n fmt.Printf(\"Time: %s | ID: %d | Temperature: %f | CPU: %f |\\n\", &r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }\n\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryInsertTimeseriesData := `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, temperature, cpu) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);\n `\n\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n _, err := dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryInsertTimeseriesData, r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to insert sample into TimescaleDB %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully inserted samples into sensor_data hypertable\")\n }\n ```\n\nInserting multiple rows of data using this method executes as many `insert`\nstatements as there are samples to be inserted. This can make ingestion of data\nslow. To speed up ingestion, you can batch insert data instead.\n\nHere's a sample pattern for how to do so, using the sample data you generated in\nthe previous procedure. It uses the pgx `Batch` object:\n\n1. This example batch inserts data into the database:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5\"\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n /********************************************/\n /* Connect using Connection Pool */\n /********************************************/\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n // Generate data to insert\n\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryDataGeneration := `\n SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n floor(random() * (3) + 1)::int as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu\n `\n\n //Execute query to generate samples for sensor_data hypertable\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryDataGeneration)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to generate sensor data: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully generated sensor data\")\n\n //Store data generated in slice results\n type result struct {\n Time time.Time\n SensorId int\n Temperature float64\n CPU float64\n }\n var results []result\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Time, &r.SensorId, &r.Temperature, &r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n }\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // Check contents of results slice\n /*fmt.Println(\"Contents of RESULTS slice\")\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n fmt.Printf(\"Time: %s | ID: %d | Temperature: %f | CPU: %f |\\n\", &r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }*/\n\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryInsertTimeseriesData := `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, temperature, cpu) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);\n `\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Batch Insert into TimescaleDB */\n /********************************************/\n //create batch\n batch := &pgx.Batch{}\n //load insert statements into batch queue\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n batch.Queue(queryInsertTimeseriesData, r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }\n batch.Queue(\"select count(*) from sensor_data\")\n\n //send batch to connection pool\n br := dbpool.SendBatch(ctx, batch)\n //execute statements in batch queue\n _, err = br.Exec()\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to execute statement in batch queue %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully batch inserted data\")\n\n //Compare length of results slice to size of table\n fmt.Printf(\"size of results: %d\\n\", len(results))\n //check size of table for number of rows inserted\n // result of last SELECT statement\n var rowsInserted int\n err = br.QueryRow().Scan(&rowsInserted)\n fmt.Printf(\"size of table: %d\\n\", rowsInserted)\n\n err = br.Close()\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to closer batch %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Execute a query\n\nThis section covers how to execute queries against your database.\n\n1. Define the SQL query you'd like to run on the database. This example uses a\n SQL query that combines time-series and relational data. It returns the\n average CPU values for every 5 minute interval, for sensors located on\n location `ceiling` and of type `a`:\n\n ```go\n // Formulate query in SQL\n // Note the use of prepared statement placeholders $1 and $2\n queryTimebucketFiveMin := `\n SELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.location = $1 AND sensors.type = $2\n GROUP BY five_min\n ORDER BY five_min DESC;\n `\n ```\n\n1. Use the `.Query()` function to execute the query string. Make sure you\n specify the relevant placeholders:\n\n ```go\n //Execute query on TimescaleDB\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryTimebucketFiveMin, \"ceiling\", \"a\")\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to execute query %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully executed query\")\n ```\n\n1. Access the rows returned by `.Query()`. Create a struct with fields\n representing the columns that you expect to be returned, then use the\n `rows.Next()` function to iterate through the rows returned and fill\n `results` with the array of structs. This uses the `rows.Scan()` function,\n passing in pointers to the fields that you want to scan for results.\n\n This example prints out the results returned from the query, but you might\n want to use those results for some other purpose. Once you've scanned\n through all the rows returned you can then use the results array however you\n like.\n\n ```go\n //Do something with the results of query\n // Struct for results\n type result2 struct {\n Bucket time.Time\n Avg float64\n }\n\n // Print rows returned and fill up results slice for later use\n var results []result2\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result2\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Bucket, &r.Avg)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n fmt.Printf(\"Time bucket: %s | Avg: %f\\n\", &r.Bucket, r.Avg)\n }\n\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // use results here…\n ```\n\n1. [](#)This example program runs a query, and accesses the results of\n that query:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Execute a query */\n /********************************************/\n\n // Formulate query in SQL\n // Note the use of prepared statement placeholders $1 and $2\n queryTimebucketFiveMin := `\n SELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.location = $1 AND sensors.type = $2\n GROUP BY five_min\n ORDER BY five_min DESC;\n `\n\n //Execute query on TimescaleDB\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryTimebucketFiveMin, \"ceiling\", \"a\")\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to execute query %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully executed query\")\n\n //Do something with the results of query\n // Struct for results\n type result2 struct {\n Bucket time.Time\n Avg float64\n }\n\n // Print rows returned and fill up results slice for later use\n var results []result2\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result2\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Bucket, &r.Avg)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n fmt.Printf(\"Time bucket: %s | Avg: %f\\n\", &r.Bucket, r.Avg)\n }\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Next steps\n\nNow that you're able to connect, read, and write to a TimescaleDB instance from\nyour Go application, be sure to check out these advanced TimescaleDB tutorials:\n\n* Refer to the [pgx documentation][pgx-docs] for more information about pgx.\n* Get up and running with TimescaleDB with the [Getting Started][getting-started]\n tutorial.\n* Want fast inserts on CSV data?

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install the [Java Development Kit (JDK)][jdk].\n* Install the [PostgreSQL JDBC driver][pg-jdbc-driver].\n\nAll code in this quick start is for Java 16 and later. If you are working\nwith older JDK versions, use legacy coding techniques.\n\n## Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\nIn this section, you create a connection to your service using an application in\na single file. You can use any of your favorite build tools, including `gradle`\nor `maven`.\n\n1. Create a directory containing a text file called `Main.java`, with this content:\n\n ```java\n package com.timescale.java;\n\n public class Main {\n\n public static void main(String... args) {\n System.out.println(\"Hello, World!\");\n }\n }\n ```\n\n1. From the command line in the current directory, run the application:\n\n ```bash\n java Main.java\n ```\n\n If the command is successful, `Hello, World!` line output is printed\n to your console.\n\n1. Import the PostgreSQL JDBC driver. If you are using a dependency manager,\n include the [PostgreSQL JDBC Driver][pg-jdbc-driver-dependency] as a\n dependency.\n\n1. Download the [JAR artifact of the JDBC Driver][pg-jdbc-driver-artifact] and\n save it with the `Main.java` file.\n\n1. Import the `JDBC Driver` into the Java application and display a list of\n available drivers for the check:\n\n ```java\n package com.timescale.java;\n\n import java.sql.DriverManager;\n\n public class Main {\n\n public static void main(String... args) {\n DriverManager.drivers().forEach(System.out::println);\n }\n }\n ```\n\n1. Run all the examples:\n\n ```bash\n java -cp *.jar Main.java\n ```\n\n If the command is successful, a string similar to\n `org.postgresql.Driver@7f77e91b` is printed to your console. This means that you\n are ready to connect to TimescaleDB from Java.\n\n1. Locate your TimescaleDB credentials and use them to compose a connection\n string for JDBC.\n\n You'll need:\n\n * password\n * username\n * host URL\n * port\n * database name\n\n1. Compose your connection string variable, using this format:\n\n ```java\n var connUrl = \"jdbc:postgresql://:/?user=&password=\";\n ```\n\n For more information about creating connection strings, see the [JDBC documentation][pg-jdbc-driver-conn-docs].\n\n\n\n This method of composing a connection string is for test or development\n purposes only. For production, use environment variables for sensitive\n details like your password, hostname, and port number.\n\n\n\n ```java\n package com.timescale.java;\n\n import java.sql.DriverManager;\n import java.sql.SQLException;\n\n public class Main {\n\n public static void main(String... args) throws SQLException {\n var connUrl = \"jdbc:postgresql://:/?user=&password=\";\n var conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connUrl);\n System.out.println(conn.getClientInfo());\n }\n }\n ```\n\n1. Run the code:\n\n ```bash\n java -cp *.jar Main.java\n ```\n\n If the command is successful, a string similar to\n `{ApplicationName=PostgreSQL JDBC Driver}` is printed to your console.\n\n## Create a relational table\n\nIn this section, you create a table called `sensors` which holds the ID, type,\nand location of your fictional sensors. Additionally, you create a hypertable\ncalled `sensor_data` which holds the measurements of those sensors. The\nmeasurements contain the time, sensor_id, temperature reading, and CPU\npercentage of the sensors.\n\n1. Compose a string which contains the SQL statement to create a relational\n table. This example creates a table called `sensors`, with columns `id`,\n `type` and `location`:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE sensors (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type TEXT NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL\n );\n ```\n\n1. Create a statement, execute the query you created in the previous step, and\n check that the table was created successfully:\n\n ```java\n package com.timescale.java;\n\n import java.sql.DriverManager;\n import java.sql.SQLException;\n\n public class Main {\n\n public static void main(String... args) throws SQLException {\n var connUrl = \"jdbc:postgresql://:/?user=&password=\";\n var conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connUrl);\n\n var createSensorTableQuery = \"\"\"\n CREATE TABLE sensors (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type TEXT NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL\n )\n \"\"\";\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(createSensorTableQuery);\n }\n\n var showAllTablesQuery = \"SELECT tablename FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public'\";\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement();\n var rs = stmt.executeQuery(showAllTablesQuery)) {\n System.out.println(\"Tables in the current database: \");\n while (rs.next()) {\n System.out.println(rs.getString(\"tablename\"));\n }\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Create a hypertable\n\nWhen you have created the relational table, you can create a hypertable.\nCreating tables and indexes, altering tables, inserting data, selecting data,\nand most other tasks are executed on the hypertable.\n\n1. Create a `CREATE TABLE` SQL statement for\n your hypertable. Notice how the hypertable has the compulsory time column:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER REFERENCES sensors (id),\n value DOUBLE PRECISION\n );\n ```\n\n1. Create a statement, execute the query you created in the previous step:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));\n ```\n\n\n\n\tThe `by_range` and `by_hash` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\n1. Execute the two statements you created, and commit your changes to the\n database:\n\n ```java\n package com.timescale.java;\n\n import java.sql.Connection;\n import java.sql.DriverManager;\n import java.sql.SQLException;\n import java.util.List;\n\n public class Main {\n\n public static void main(String... args) {\n final var connUrl = \"jdbc:postgresql://:/?user=&password=\";\n try (var conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connUrl)) {\n createSchema(conn);\n insertData(conn);\n } catch (SQLException ex) {\n System.err.println(ex.getMessage());\n }\n }\n\n private static void createSchema(final Connection conn) throws SQLException {\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(\"\"\"\n CREATE TABLE sensors (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type TEXT NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL\n )\n \"\"\");\n }\n\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(\"\"\"\n CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER REFERENCES sensors (id),\n value DOUBLE PRECISION\n )\n \"\"\");\n }\n\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(\"SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'))\");\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Insert data\n\nYou can insert data into your hypertables in several different ways. In this\nsection, you can insert single rows, or insert by batches of rows.\n\n1. Open a connection to the database, use prepared statements to formulate the\n `INSERT` SQL statement, then execute the statement:\n\n ```java\n final List sensors = List.of(\n new Sensor(\"temperature\", \"bedroom\"),\n new Sensor(\"temperature\", \"living room\"),\n new Sensor(\"temperature\", \"outside\"),\n new Sensor(\"humidity\", \"kitchen\"),\n new Sensor(\"humidity\", \"outside\"));\n for (final var sensor : sensors) {\n try (var stmt = conn.prepareStatement(\"INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES (?, ?)\")) {\n stmt.setString(1, sensor.type());\n stmt.setString(2, sensor.location());\n stmt.executeUpdate();\n }\n }\n ```\n\nIf you want to insert a batch of rows by using a batching mechanism. In this\nexample, you generate some sample time-series data to insert into the\n`sensor_data` hypertable:\n\n1. Insert batches of rows:\n\n ```java\n final var sensorDataCount = 100;\n final var insertBatchSize = 10;\n try (var stmt = conn.prepareStatement(\"\"\"\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, value)\n VALUES (\n generate_series(now() - INTERVAL '24 hours', now(), INTERVAL '5 minutes'),\n floor(random() * 4 + 1)::INTEGER,\n random()\n )\n \"\"\")) {\n for (int i = 0; i < sensorDataCount; i++) {\n stmt.addBatch();\n\n if ((i > 0 && i % insertBatchSize == 0) || i == sensorDataCount - 1) {\n stmt.executeBatch();\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Execute a query\n\nThis section covers how to execute queries against your database.\n\n## Execute queries on TimescaleDB\n\n1. Define the SQL query you'd like to run on the database. This example\n combines time-series and relational data. It returns the average values for\n every 15 minute interval for sensors with specific type and location.\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('15 minutes', time) AS bucket, avg(value)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.type = ? AND sensors.location = ?\n GROUP BY bucket\n ORDER BY bucket DESC;\n ```\n\n1. Execute the query with the prepared statement and read out the result set for\n all `a`-type sensors located on the `floor`:\n\n ```java\n try (var stmt = conn.prepareStatement(\"\"\"\n SELECT time_bucket('15 minutes', time) AS bucket, avg(value)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.type = ? AND sensors.location = ?\n GROUP BY bucket\n ORDER BY bucket DESC\n \"\"\")) {\n stmt.setString(1, \"temperature\");\n stmt.setString(2, \"living room\");\n\n try (var rs = stmt.executeQuery()) {\n while (rs.next()) {\n System.out.printf(\"%s: %f%n\", rs.getTimestamp(1), rs.getDouble(2));\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n If the command is successful, you'll see output like this:\n\n ```bash\n 2021-05-12 23:30:00.0: 0,508649\n 2021-05-12 23:15:00.0: 0,477852\n 2021-05-12 23:00:00.0: 0,462298\n 2021-05-12 22:45:00.0: 0,457006\n 2021-05-12 22:30:00.0: 0,568744\n ...\n ```\n\n## Next steps\n\nNow that you're able to connect, read, and write to a TimescaleDB instance from\nyour Java application, and generate the scaffolding necessary to build a new\napplication from an existing TimescaleDB instance, be sure to check out these\nadvanced TimescaleDB tutorials:\n\n* [Continuous Aggregates][continuous-aggregates]\n* [Migrate Your own Data][migrate]\n\n## Complete code samples\n\nThis section contains complete code samples.\n\n### Complete code sample\n\n```java\npackage com.timescale.java;\n\nimport java.sql.Connection;\nimport java.sql.DriverManager;\nimport java.sql.SQLException;\nimport java.util.List;\n\npublic class Main {\n\n public static void main(String... args) {\n final var connUrl = \"jdbc:postgresql://:/?user=&password=\";\n try (var conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connUrl)) {\n createSchema(conn);\n insertData(conn);\n } catch (SQLException ex) {\n System.err.println(ex.getMessage());\n }\n }\n\n private static void createSchema(final Connection conn) throws SQLException {\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(\"\"\"\n CREATE TABLE sensors (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type TEXT NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL\n )\n \"\"\");\n }\n\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(\"\"\"\n CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER REFERENCES sensors (id),\n value DOUBLE PRECISION\n )\n \"\"\");\n }\n\n try (var stmt = conn.createStatement()) {\n stmt.execute(\"SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'))\");\n }\n }\n\n private static void insertData(final Connection conn) throws SQLException {\n final List sensors = List.of(\n new Sensor(\"temperature\", \"bedroom\"),\n new Sensor(\"temperature\", \"living room\"),\n new Sensor(\"temperature\", \"outside\"),\n new Sensor(\"humidity\", \"kitchen\"),\n new Sensor(\"humidity\", \"outside\"));\n for (final var sensor : sensors) {\n try (var stmt = conn.prepareStatement(\"INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES (?, ?)\")) {\n stmt.setString(1, sensor.type());\n stmt.setString(2, sensor.location());\n stmt.executeUpdate();\n }\n }\n\n final var sensorDataCount = 100;\n final var insertBatchSize = 10;\n try (var stmt = conn.prepareStatement(\"\"\"\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, value)\n VALUES (\n generate_series(now() - INTERVAL '24 hours', now(), INTERVAL '5 minutes'),\n floor(random() * 4 + 1)::INTEGER,\n random()\n )\n \"\"\")) {\n for (int i = 0;

You:\n- Manage your services in the [ops mode][portal-ops-mode] in Tiger Cloud Console: add read replicas and enable\n high availability, compress data into the columnstore, change parameters, and so on.\n- Analyze your data in the [data mode][portal-data-mode] in Tiger Cloud Console: write queries with\n autocomplete, save them in folders, share them, create charts/dashboards, and much more.\n- Store configuration and security information in your config file.\n\nWhat next? [Try the key features offered by Tiger Data][try-timescale-features], see the [tutorials][tutorials],\ninteract with the data in your Tiger Cloud service using [your favorite programming language][connect-with-code], integrate\nyour Tiger Cloud service with a range of [third-party tools][integrations], plain old [Use Tiger Data products][use-timescale], or dive\ninto the [API reference][use-the-api].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/getting-started/get-started-devops-as-code/ =====\n\n# \"DevOps as code with Tiger\"\n\n\n\nTiger Data supplies a clean, programmatic control layer for Tiger Cloud. This includes RESTful APIs and CLI commands\nthat enable humans, machines, and AI agents easily provision, configure, and manage Tiger Cloud services programmatically.\n\n\n\n\n\nTiger CLI is a command-line interface that you use to manage Tiger Cloud resources\nincluding VPCs, services, read replicas, and related infrastructure. Tiger CLI calls Tiger REST API to communicate with\nTiger Cloud.\n\nThis page shows you how to install and set up secure authentication for Tiger CLI, then create your first\nservice.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Data account][create-account].\n\n\n## Install and configure Tiger CLI\n\n1. **Install Tiger CLI**\n\n Use the terminal to install the CLI:\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n brew install --cask timescale/tap/tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Set up API credentials**\n\n 1. Log Tiger CLI into your Tiger Data account:\n\n ```shell\n tiger auth login\n ```\n Tiger CLI opens Console in your browser. Log in, then click `Authorize`.\n\n You can have a maximum of 10 active client credentials. If you get an error, open [credentials][rest-api-credentials]\n and delete an unused credential.\n\n 1. Select a Tiger Cloud project:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n Auth URL is: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=lotsOfURLstuff\n Opening browser for authentication...\n Select a project:\n\n > 1. Tiger Project (tgrproject)\n 2. YourCompany (Company wide project) (cpnproject)\n 3. YourCompany Department (dptproject)\n\n Use ↑/↓ arrows or number keys to navigate, enter to select, q to quit\n ```\n If only one project is associated with your account, this step is not shown.\n\n Where possible, Tiger CLI stores your authentication information in the system keychain/credential manager.\n If that fails, the credentials are stored in `~/.config/tiger/credentials` with restricted file permissions (600).\n By default, Tiger CLI stores your configuration in `~/.config/tiger/config.yaml`.\n\n1. **Test your authenticated connection to Tiger Cloud by listing services**\n\n ```bash\n tiger service list\n ```\n\n This call returns something like:\n - No services:\n ```terminaloutput\n 🏜️ No services found! Your project is looking a bit empty.\n 🚀 Ready to get started? Create your first service with: tiger service create\n ```\n - One or more services:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n ┌────────────┬─────────────────────┬────────┬─────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────────┐\n │ SERVICE ID │ NAME │ STATUS │ TYPE │ REGION │ CREATED │\n ├────────────┼─────────────────────┼────────┼─────────────┼──────────────┼──────────────────┤\n │ tgrservice │ tiger-agent-service │ READY │ TIMESCALEDB │ eu-central-1 │ 2025-09-25 16:09 │\n └────────────┴─────────────────────┴────────┴─────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────────┘\n ```\n\n\n## Create your first Tiger Cloud service\n\nCreate a new Tiger Cloud service using Tiger CLI:\n\n1. **Submit a service creation request**\n\n By default, Tiger CLI creates a service for you that matches your [pricing plan][pricing-plans]:\n * **Free plan**: shared CPU/memory and the `time-series` and `ai` capabilities\n * **Paid plan**: 0.5 CPU and 2 GB memory with the `time-series` capability\n ```shell\n tiger service create\n ```\n Tiger Cloud creates a Development environment for you. That is, no delete protection, high-availability, spooling or\n read replication.

The name of these\nvariables matches the flags you use to update them. However, you can override them using the following\nenvironmental variables:\n\n- **Configuration parameters**\n - `TIGER_CONFIG_DIR`: path to configuration directory (default: `~/.config/tiger`)\n - `TIGER_API_URL`: Tiger REST API base endpoint (default: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/public/api/v1)\n - `TIGER_CONSOLE_URL`: URL to Tiger Cloud Console (default: https://console.cloud.timescale.com)\n - `TIGER_GATEWAY_URL`: URL to the Tiger Cloud Console gateway (default: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/api)\n - `TIGER_DOCS_MCP`: enable/disable docs MCP proxy (default: `true`)\n - `TIGER_DOCS_MCP_URL`: URL to the Tiger MCP Server for Tiger Data docs (default: https://mcp.tigerdata.com/docs)\n - `TIGER_SERVICE_ID`: ID for the service updated when you call CLI commands\n - `TIGER_ANALYTICS`: enable or disable analytics (default: `true`)\n - `TIGER_PASSWORD_STORAGE`: password storage method (keyring, pgpass, or none)\n - `TIGER_DEBUG`: enable/disable debug logging (default: `false`)\n - `TIGER_COLOR`: set to `false` to disable colored output (default: `true`)\n\n\n- **Authentication parameters**\n\n To authenticate without using the interactive login, either:\n - Set the following parameters with your [client credentials][rest-api-credentials], then `login`:\n ```shell\n TIGER_PUBLIC_KEY= TIGER_SECRET_KEY= TIGER_PROJECT_ID=\\\n tiger auth login\n ```\n - Add your [client credentials][rest-api-credentials] to the `login` command:\n ```shell\n tiger auth login --public-key= --secret-key= --project-id=\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n[Tiger REST API][rest-api-reference] is a comprehensive RESTful API you use to manage Tiger Cloud resources\nincluding VPCs, services, and read replicas.\n\nThis page shows you how to set up secure authentication for the Tiger REST API and create your first service.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Data account][create-account].\n\n* Install [curl][curl].\n\n\n## Configure secure authentication\n\nTiger REST API uses HTTP Basic Authentication with access keys and secret keys. All API requests must include\nproper authentication headers.\n\n1. **Set up API credentials**\n\n 1. In Tiger Cloud Console [copy your project ID][get-project-id] and store it securely using an environment variable:\n\n ```bash\n export TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID=\"your-project-id\"\n ```\n\n 1. In Tiger Cloud Console [create your client credentials][create-client-credentials] and store them securely using environment variables:\n\n ```bash\n export TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY=\"Public key\"\n export TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY=\"Secret key\"\n ```\n\n1. **Configure the API endpoint**\n\n Set the base URL in your environment:\n\n ```bash\n export API_BASE_URL=\"https://console.cloud.timescale.com/public/api/v1\"\n ```\n\n1. **Test your authenticated connection to Tiger REST API by listing the services in the current Tiger Cloud project**\n\n ```bash\n curl -X GET \"${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID}/services\" \\\n -u \"${TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY}:${TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY}\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\"\n ```\n\n This call returns something like:\n - No services:\n ```terminaloutput\n []%\n ```\n - One or more services:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n [{\"service_id\":\"tgrservice\",\"project_id\":\"tgrproject\",\"name\":\"tiger-eon\",\n \"region_code\":\"us-east-1\",\"service_type\":\"TIMESCALEDB\",\n \"created\":\"2025-10-20T12:21:28.216172Z\",\"paused\":false,\"status\":\"READY\",\n \"resources\":[{\"id\":\"104977\",\"spec\":{\"cpu_millis\":500,\"memory_gbs\":2,\"volume_type\":\"\"}}],\n \"metadata\":{\"environment\":\"DEV\"},\n \"endpoint\":{\"host\":\"tgrservice.tgrproject.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com\",\"port\":11111}}]\n ```\n\n\n## Create your first Tiger Cloud service\n\nCreate a new service using the Tiger REST API:\n\n1. **Create a service using the POST endpoint**\n ```bash\n curl -X POST \"${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID}/services\" \\\n -u \"${TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY}:${TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY}\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\n \"name\": \"my-first-service\",\n \"addons\": [\"time-series\"],\n \"region_code\": \"us-east-1\",\n \"replica_count\": 1,\n \"cpu_millis\": \"1000\",\n \"memory_gbs\": \"4\"\n }'\n ```\n Tiger Cloud creates a Development environment for you. That is, no delete protection, high-availability, spooling or\n read replication. You see something like:\n ```terminaloutput\n {\"service_id\":\"tgrservice\",\"project_id\":\"tgrproject\",\"name\":\"my-first-service\",\n \"region_code\":\"us-east-1\",\"service_type\":\"TIMESCALEDB\",\n \"created\":\"2025-10-20T22:29:33.052075713Z\",\"paused\":false,\"status\":\"QUEUED\",\n \"resources\":[{\"id\":\"105120\",\"spec\":{\"cpu_millis\":1000,\"memory_gbs\":4,\"volume_type\":\"\"}}],\n \"metadata\":{\"environment\":\"PROD\"},\n \"endpoint\":{\"host\":\"tgrservice.tgrproject.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com\",\"port\":00001},\n \"initial_password\":\"notTellingYou\",\n \"ha_replicas\":{\"sync_replica_count\":0,\"replica_count\":1}}\n ```\n\n1. Save `service_id` from the response to a variable:\n\n ```bash\n # Extract service_id from the JSON response\n export SERVICE_ID=\"service_id-from-response\"\n ```\n\n1. **Check the configuration for the service**\n\n ```bash\n curl -X GET \"${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID}/services/${SERVICE_ID}\" \\\n -u \"${TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY}:${TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY}\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\"\n ```\nYou see something like:\n ```terminaloutput\n {\"service_id\":\"tgrservice\",\"project_id\":\"tgrproject\",\"name\":\"my-first-service\",\n \"region_code\":\"us-east-1\",\"service_type\":\"TIMESCALEDB\",\n \"created\":\"2025-10-20T22:29:33.052075Z\",\"paused\":false,\"status\":\"READY\",\n \"resources\":[{\"id\":\"105120\",\"spec\":{\"cpu_millis\":1000,\"memory_gbs\":4,\"volume_type\":\"\"}}],\n \"metadata\":{\"environment\":\"DEV\"},\n \"endpoint\":{\"host\":\"tgrservice.tgrproject.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com\",\"port\":11111},\n \"ha_replicas\":{\"sync_replica_count\":0,\"replica_count\":1}}\n ```\n\nAnd that is it, you are ready to use the [Tiger REST API][rest-api-reference] to manage your\nservices in Tiger Cloud.\n\n## Security best practices\n\nFollow these security guidelines when working with the Tiger REST API:\n\n- **Credential management**\n - Store API credentials as environment variables, not in code\n - Use credential rotation policies for production environments\n - Never commit credentials to version control systems\n\n- **Network security**\n - Use HTTPS endpoints exclusively for API communication\n - Implement proper certificate validation in your HTTP clients\n\n- **Data protection**\n - Use secure storage for service connection strings and passwords\n - Implement proper backup and recovery procedures for created services\n - Follow data residency requirements for your region\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/getting-started/run-queries-from-console/ =====\n\n# Run your queries from Tiger Cloud Console\n\n\n\nAs Tiger Cloud is based on Postgres, you can use lots of [different tools][integrations] to\nconnect to your service and interact with your data.\n\nIn Tiger Cloud Console you can use the following ways to run SQL queries against your service:\n\n- [Data mode][run-popsql]: a rich experience powered by PopSQL. You can write queries with\n autocomplete, save them in folders, share them, create charts/dashboards, and much more.\n\n- [SQL Assistant in the data mode][sql-assistant]: write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately.\n\n- [SQL editor in the ops mode][run-sqleditor]: a simple SQL editor in the ops mode that lets you run ad-hoc ephemeral\n queries. This is useful for quick one-off tasks like creating an index on a small table or inspecting `pg_stat_statements`.\n\nIf you prefer the command line to the ops mode SQL editor in Tiger Cloud Console, use [psql][install-psql].\n\n## \tData mode\n\nYou use the data mode in Tiger Cloud Console to write queries, visualize data, and share your results.\n\n![Tiger Cloud Console data mode](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-data-mode.png)\n\nThis feature is not available under the Free pricing plan.\n\nAvailable features are:\n\n- **Real-time collaboration**: work with your team directly in the data mode query editor with live presence and multiple\n cursors.\n- **[Schema browser][schema-browser]**: understand the structure of your service and see usage data on tables and columns.\n- **[SQL Assistant][sql-assistant]**: write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately using AI.\n- **Autocomplete**: get suggestions as you type your queries.\n- **[Version history][version-history]**: access previous versions of a query from the built-in revision history, or connect to a git repo.\n- **[Charts][charts]**: visualize data from inside the UI rather than switch to Sheets or Excel.\n- **[Schedules][schedules]**: automatically refresh queries and dashboards to create push alerts.\n- **[Query variables][query-variables]**: use Liquid to parameterize your queries or use `if` statements.\n- **Cross-platform support**: work from [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode] or download the [desktop app][popsql-desktop] for macOS, Windows, and Linux.\n- **Easy connection**: connect to Tiger Cloud, Postgres, Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, MySQL, SQL Server, [and more][popsql-connections].\n\n### Connect to your Tiger Cloud service in the data mode\n\nTo connect to a service:\n\n1. **Check your service is running correctly**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal], check that your service is marked as `Running`:\n\n ![Check Tiger Cloud service is running](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-services-view.png)\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\n In the [data mode][portal-data-mode] in Tiger Cloud Console, select a service in the connection drop-down:\n\n ![Select a connection](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-data-mode-connection-dropdown.png)\n\n1. **Run a test query**\n\n Type `SELECT CURRENT_DATE;` in `Scratchpad` and click `Run`:\n\n ![Run a simple query](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/run-query-in-scratchpad-tiger-console.png)\n\nQuick recap. You:\n- Manage your services in the [ops mode in Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode]\n- Manage your data in the [data mode in Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode]\n- Store configuration and security information in your config file.\n\nNow you have used the data mode in Tiger Cloud Console, see how to easily do the following:\n\n- [Write a query][write-query]\n- [Share a query with your teammates][share-query]\n- [Create a chart from your data][create-chart]\n- [Create a dashboard of multiple query results][create-dashboard]\n- [Create schedules for your queries][create-schedule]\n\n### Data mode FAQ\n\n#### What if my service is within a vpc?\n\nIf your Tiger Cloud service runs inside a VPC, do one of the following to enable access for the PopSQL desktop app:\n\n- Use PopSQL's [bridge connector][bridge-connector].\n- Use an SSH tunnel: when you configure the connection in PopSQL, under `Advanced Options` enable `Connect over SSH`.\n- Add PopSQL's static IPs (`23.20.131.72, 54.211.234.135`) to your allowlist.\n\n#### What happens if another member of my Tiger Cloud project uses the data mode?\n\nThe number of data mode seats you are allocated depends on your [pricing plan][pricing-plan-features].\n\n#### Will using the data mode affect the performance of my Tiger Cloud service?\n\nThere are a few factors to consider:\n\n1. What instance size is your service?\n1. How many users are running queries?\n1. How computationally intensive are the queries?\n\nIf you have a small number of users running performant SQL queries against a\nservice with sufficient resources, then there should be no degradation to\nperformance. However, if you have a large number of users running queries, or if\nthe queries are computationally expensive, best practice is to create\na [read replica][read-replica] and send analytical queries there.\n\nIf you'd like to prevent write operations such as insert or update, instead\nof using the `tsdbadmin` user, create a read-only user for your service and\nuse that in the data mode.\n\n## SQL Assistant\n\nSQL Assistant in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode] is a chat-like interface that harnesses the power of AI to help you write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately. Ask SQL Assistant to change existing queries, write new ones from scratch, debug error messages, optimize for query performance, add comments, improve readability—and really, get answers to any questions you can think of.\n\nThis feature is not available under the Free pricing plan.\n\n\n\n### Key capabilities\n\nSQL Assistant offers a range of features to improve your SQL workflow, including:\n\n- **Real-time help**: SQL Assistant provides in-context help for writing and understanding SQL. Use it to:\n\n - **Understand functions**: need to know how functions like `LAG()` or `ROW_NUMBER()` work? SQL Assistant explains it with examples.\n - **Interpret complex queries**: SQL Assistant breaks down dense queries, giving you a clear view of each part.\n\n- **Error resolution**: SQL Assistant diagnoses errors as they happen, you can resolve issues without leaving your editor. Features include:\n\n - **Error debugging**: if your query fails, SQL Assistant identifies the issue and suggests a fix.\n - **Performance tuning**: for slow queries, SQL Assistant provides optimization suggestions to improve performance immediately.\n\n- **Query organization**: to keep your query library organized, and help your team understand the\n purpose of each query, SQL Assistant automatically adds titles and summaries to your queries.\n\n- **Agent mode**: to get results with minimal involvement from you, SQL Assistant autopilots through complex tasks and troubleshoots its own problems. No need to go step by step, analyze errors, and try out solutions. Simply turn on the agent mode in the LLM picker and watch SQL Assistant do all the work for you. Recommended for use when your database connection is configured with read-only credentials.\n\n### Supported LLMs\n\nSQL Assistant supports a large number of LLMs, including:\n\n- GPT-4o mini\n- GPT-4o\n- GPT-4.1 nano\n- GPT-4.1 mini\n- GPT-4.1\n- o4-mini (low)\n- o4-mini\n- o4-mini (high)\n- o3 (low)\n- o3\n- o3 (high)\n- Claude 3.5 Haiku\n- Claud 3.7 Sonnet\n- Claud 3.7 Sonnet (extended thinking)\n- Llama 3.3 70B Versatile\n- Llama 3.3 70B Instruct\n- Llama 3.1 405B Instruct\n- Llama 4 Scout\n- Llama 4 Maverick\n- DeepSeek R1 Distill - Llama 3.3. 70B\n- DeepSeek R1\n- Gemini 2.0 Flash\n- Sonnet 4\n- Sonnet 4 (extended thinking)\n- Opus 4\n- Opus 4 (extended thinking)\n\nChoose the LLM based on the particular task at hand. For simpler tasks, try the smaller and faster models like Gemini Flash, Haiku, or o4-mini. For more complex tasks, try the larger reasoning models like Claude Sonnet, Gemini Pro, or o3. We provide a description of each model to help you decide.\n\n### Limitations to keep in mind\n\nFor best results with SQL Assistant:\n\n* **Schema awareness**: SQL Assistant references schema data but may need extra context\n in complex environments. Specify tables, columns, or joins as needed.\n* **Business logic**: SQL Assistant does not inherently know specific business terms\n such as active user. Define these terms clearly to improve results.\n\n### Security, privacy, and data usage\n\nSecurity and privacy is prioritized in Tiger Cloud Console.

Under the hood, this is achieved by using hypertables—Postgres tables that automatically partition your time-series data by time and optionally by other dimensions. When you run a query, Tiger Cloud identifies the correct partition, called chunk, and runs the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n![Hypertable structure](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable.png)\n\nHypertables offer the following benefits:\n\n- **Efficient data management with [automated partitioning by time][chunk-size]**: Tiger Cloud splits your data into chunks that hold data from a specific time range. For example, one day or one week. You can configure this range to better suit your needs.\n\n- **Better performance with [strategic indexing][hypertable-indexes]**: an index on time in the descending order is automatically created when you create a hypertable. More indexes are created on the chunk level, to optimize performance. You can create additional indexes, including unique indexes, on the columns you need.\n\n- **Faster queries with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping]**: Tiger Cloud skips the chunks that are irrelevant in the context of your query, dramatically reducing the time and resources needed to fetch results. Even more—you can enable chunk skipping on non-partitioning columns.\n\n- **Advanced data analysis with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions]**: Tiger Cloud enables you to efficiently process, aggregate, and analyze significant volumes of data while maintaining high performance.\n\nTo top it all, there is no added complexity—you interact with hypertables in the same way as you would with regular Postgres tables. All the optimization magic happens behind the scenes.\n\n\n\nInheritance is not supported for hypertables and may lead to unexpected behavior.\n\n## Partition by time\n\nEach hypertable is partitioned into child hypertables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned\na range of time, and only contains data from that range.\n\n\n### Time partitioning\n\nTypically, you partition hypertables on columns that hold time values.\n[Best practice is to use `timestamptz`][timestamps-best-practice] column type. However, you can also partition on\n`date`, `integer`, `timestamp` and [UUIDv7][uuidv7_functions] types.\n\nBy default, each hypertable chunk holds data for 7 days. You can change this to better suit your\nneeds. For example, if you set `chunk_interval` to 1 day, each chunk stores data for a single day.\n\nTimescaleDB divides time into potential chunk ranges, based on the `chunk_interval`. Each hypertable chunk holds\ndata for a specific time range only. When you insert data from a time range that doesn't yet have a chunk, TimescaleDB\nautomatically creates a chunk to store it.\n\nIn practice, this means that the start time of your earliest chunk does not\nnecessarily equal the earliest timestamp in your hypertable. Instead, there\nmight be a time gap between the start time and the earliest timestamp. This\ndoesn't affect your usual interactions with your hypertable, but might affect\nthe number of chunks you see when inspecting it.\n\n## Best practices for scaling and partitioning\n\nBest practices for maintaining a high performance when scaling include:\n\n- Limit the number of hypertables in your service; having tens of thousands of hypertables is not recommended.\n- Choose a strategic chunk size.\n\nChunk size affects insert and query performance. You want a chunk small enough\nto fit into memory so you can insert and query recent data without\nreading from disk. However, having too many small and sparsely filled chunks can\naffect query planning time and compression. The more chunks in the system, the slower that process becomes, even more so\nwhen all those chunks are part of a single hypertable.\n\nPostgres builds the index on the fly during ingestion. That means that to build a new entry on the index,\na significant portion of the index needs to be traversed during every row insertion. When the index does not fit\ninto memory, it is constantly flushed to disk and read back. This wastes IO resources which would otherwise\nbe used for writing the heap/WAL data to disk.\n\nThe default chunk interval is 7 days. However, best practice is to set `chunk_interval` so that prior to processing,\nthe indexes for chunks currently being ingested into fit within 25% of main memory. For example, on a system with 64\nGB of memory, if index growth is approximately 2 GB per day, a 1-week chunk interval is appropriate. If index growth is\naround 10 GB per day, use a 1-day interval.\n\nYou set `chunk_interval` when you [create a hypertable][hypertable-create-table], or by calling\n[`set_chunk_time_interval`][chunk_interval] on an existing hypertable.\n\nFor a detailed analysis of how to optimize your chunk sizes, see the\n[blog post on chunk time intervals][blog-chunk-time]. To learn how\nto view and set your chunk time intervals, see\n[Optimize hypertable chunk intervals][change-chunk-intervals].\n\n## Hypertable indexes\n\nBy default, indexes are automatically created when you create a hypertable. The default index is on time, descending.\nYou can prevent index creation by setting the `create_default_indexes` option to `false`.\n\nHypertables have some restrictions on unique constraints and indexes. If you\nwant a unique index on a hypertable, it must include all the partitioning\ncolumns for the table. To learn more, see\n[Enforce constraints with unique indexes on hypertables][hypertables-and-unique-indexes].\n\nYou can prevent index creation by setting the `create_default_indexes` option to `false`.\n\n## Partition by dimension\n\nPartitioning on time is the most common use case for hypertable, but it may not be enough for your needs. For example,\nyou may need to scan for the latest readings that match a certain condition without locking a critical hypertable.\n\n\n\nThe use case for a partitioning dimension is a multi-tenant setup. You isolate the tenants using the `tenant_id` space\npartition. However, you must perform extensive testing to ensure this works as expected, and there is a strong risk of\npartition explosion.\n\n\n\nYou add a partitioning dimension at the same time as you create the hypertable, when the table is empty. The good news\nis that although you select the number of partitions at creation time, as your data grows you can change the number of\npartitions later and improve query performance. Changing the number of partitions only affects chunks created after the\nchange, not existing chunks. To set the number of partitions for a partitioning dimension, call `set_number_partitions`.\nFor example:\n\n1. **Create the hypertable with the 1-day interval chunk interval**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions(\n \"time\" timestamptz not null,\n device_id integer,\n temperature float\n )\n WITH(\n timescaledb.hypertable,\n timescaledb.partition_column='time',\n timescaledb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n );\n ```\n\n1. **Add a hash partition on a non-time column**\n\n ```sql\n select * from add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('device_id', 3));\n ```\n Now use your hypertable as usual, but you can also ingest and query efficiently by the `device_id` column.\n\n1. **Change the number of partitions as you data grows**\n\n ```sql\n select set_number_partitions('conditions', 5, 'device_id');\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/hypercore/ =====\n\n# Hypercore\n\n\n\nHypercore is a hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB. It is designed specifically for\nreal-time analytics and powered by time-series data. The advantage of hypercore is its ability\nto seamlessly switch between row-oriented and column-oriented storage, delivering the best of both worlds:\n\n![Hypercore workflow](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable-with-hypercore-enabled.png)\n\nHypercore solves the key challenges in real-time analytics:\n\n- High ingest throughput\n- Low-latency ingestion\n- Fast query performance\n- Efficient handling of data updates and late-arriving data\n- Streamlined data management\n\nHypercore’s hybrid approach combines the benefits of row-oriented and column-oriented formats:\n\n- **Fast ingest with rowstore**: new data is initially written to the rowstore, which is optimized for\n high-speed inserts and updates. This process ensures that real-time applications easily handle\n rapid streams of incoming data. Mutability—upserts, updates, and deletes happen seamlessly.\n\n- **Efficient analytics with columnstore**: as the data **cools** and becomes more suited for\n analytics, it is automatically converted to the columnstore. This columnar format enables\n fast scanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical workloads while also\n saving significant storage space.\n\n- **Faster queries on compressed data in columnstore**: in the columnstore conversion, hypertable\n chunks are compressed by up to 98%, and organized for efficient, large-scale queries. Combined with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping], this helps you save on storage costs and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.\n\n- **Fast modification of compressed data in columnstore**: just use SQL to add or modify data in the columnstore.\n TimescaleDB is optimized for superfast INSERT and UPSERT performance.\n\n- **Full mutability with transactional semantics**: regardless of where data is stored,\n hypercore provides full ACID support. Like in a vanilla Postgres database, inserts and updates\n to the rowstore and columnstore are always consistent, and available to queries as soon as they are\n completed.\n\nFor an in-depth explanation of how hypertables and hypercore work, see the [Data model][data-model].\n\nThis section shows the following:\n\n* [Optimize your data for real-time analytics][setup-hypercore]\n* [Improve query and upsert performance using secondary indexes][secondary-indexes]\n* [Compression methods in hypercore][compression-methods]\n* [Troubleshooting][troubleshooting]\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/continuous-aggregates/ =====\n\n# Continuous aggregates\n\nFrom real-time dashboards to performance monitoring and historical trend analysis, data aggregation is a must-have for any sort of analytical application. To address this need, TimescaleDB uses continuous aggregates to precompute and store aggregate data for you. Using Postgres [materialized views][postgres-materialized-views], TimescaleDB incrementally refreshes the aggregation query in the background. When you do run the query, only the data that has changed needs to be computed, not the entire dataset. This means you always have the latest aggregate data at your fingertips—and spend as little resources on it, as possible.\n\nIn this section you:\n\n* [Learn about continuous aggregates][about-caggs] to understand how it works\n before you begin using it.\n* [Create a continuous aggregate][cagg-create] and query it.\n* [Create a continuous aggregate on top of another continuous aggregate][cagg-on-cagg].\n* [Add refresh policies][cagg-autorefresh] to an existing continuous aggregate.\n* [Manage time][cagg-time] in your continuous aggregates.\n* [Drop data][cagg-drop] from your continuous aggregates.\n* [Manage materialized hypertables][cagg-mat-hypertables].\n* [Use real-time aggregates][cagg-realtime].\n* [Convert continuous aggregates to the columnstore][cagg-compression].\n* [Migrate your continuous aggregates][cagg-migrate] from old to new format.\n Continuous aggregates created in TimescaleDB v2.7 and later are in the new\n format, unless explicitly created in the old format.\n* [Troubleshoot][cagg-tshoot] continuous aggregates.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/services/ =====\n\n# About Tiger Cloud services\n\n\n\nTiger Cloud is the modern Postgres data platform for all your applications.

Regardless of\nwhether you are creating custom alerts embedded in your applications, or using\nthird-party alerting tools to monitor event data across your organization, there\nare a wide selection of tools available.\n\n## Grafana\n\nGrafana is a great way to visualize your analytical queries, and it has a\nfirst-class integration with Tiger Data products. Beyond data visualization, Grafana\nalso provides alerting functionality to keep you notified of anomalies.\n\nWithin Grafana, you can [define alert rules][define alert rules] which are\ntime-based thresholds for your dashboard data (for example, \"Average CPU usage\ngreater than 80 percent for 5 minutes\"). When those alert rules are triggered,\nGrafana sends a message via the chosen notification channel. Grafana provides\nintegration with webhooks, email and more than a dozen external services\nincluding Slack and PagerDuty.\n\nTo get started, first download and install [Grafana][Grafana-install]. Next, add\na new [Postgres data source][PostgreSQL datasource] that points to your\nTiger Cloud service. This data source was built by Tiger Data engineers, and\nit is designed to take advantage of the database's time-series capabilities.\nFrom there, proceed to your dashboard and set up alert rules as described above.\n\n\n\nAlerting is only available in Grafana v4.0 and later.\n\n\n\n## Other alerting tools\n\nTiger Cloud works with a variety of alerting tools within the Postgres\necosystem.

This tier comes in two types,\nstandard and enhanced, and provides you with up to 64 TB of storage and 32,000 IOPS.\n\n* **Object storage tier**: stores data that is rarely accessed and has lower performance requirements.\n For example, old data for auditing or reporting purposes over long periods of time, even forever.\n The object storage tier is low-cost and bottomless.\n\nNo matter the tier your data is stored in, you can [query it when you need it][querying-tiered-data].\nTiger Cloud seamlessly accesses the correct storage tier and generates the response.\n\n\n\nYou [define tiering policies][creating-data-tiering-policy] that automatically migrate\ndata from the high-performance storage tier to the object tier as it ages. You use\n[retention policies][add-retention-policies] to remove very old data from the object storage tier.\n\nWith tiered storage you don't need an ETL process, infrastructure changes, or custom-built, bespoke\nsolutions to offload data to secondary storage and fetch it back in when needed.

Compute failures\ncan be caused by hardware failing, or through things like unoptimized queries,\ncausing increased load that maxes out the CPU usage. In these cases, data on disk is unaffected\nand only the compute and memory needs replacing. Tiger Cloud recovery immediately provisions\nnew compute infrastructure for the service and mounts the existing storage to the new node. Any WAL\nthat was in memory then replays. This process typically only takes thirty seconds. However,\ndepending on the amount of WAL that needs replaying this may take up to twenty minutes. Even in the\nworst-case scenario, Tiger Cloud recovery is an order of magnitude faster than a standard recovery\nfrom backup.\n\n- **Storage failure**: in the rare occurrence of disk failure, Tiger Cloud automatically\n[performs a full recovery from backup][backup-recovery].\n\nIf CPU usage for a service runs high for long periods of time, issues such as WAL archiving getting queued\nbehind other processes can occur. This can cause a failure and could result in a larger data loss.\nTo avoid data loss, services are monitored for this kind of scenario.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/upgrades/ =====\n\n# Maintenance and upgrades\n\n\n\nTiger Cloud offers managed database services that provide a stable and reliable environment for your\napplications. Each service is based on a specific version of the Postgres database and the TimescaleDB extension.\nTo ensure that you benefit from the latest features, performance and security improvements, it is important that your\nTiger Cloud service is kept up to date with the latest versions of TimescaleDB and Postgres.\n\nTiger Cloud has the following upgrade policies:\n* **Minor software upgrades**: handled automatically, you do not need to do anything.\n\n Upgrades are performed on your Tiger Cloud service during a maintenance window that you\n [define to suit your workload][define-maintenance-window]. You can also [manually upgrade TimescaleDB][minor-manual-upgrade].\n* **Critical security upgrades**: installed outside normal maintenance windows when necessary, and sometimes require\n a short outage.\n\n Downtime is usually between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. Tiger Data aims to notify you by email\n if downtime is required, so that you can plan accordingly. However, in some cases this is not possible.\n* **Major upgrades**: such as a new version of Postgres are performed [manually by you][manual-upgrade], or [automatically\n by Tiger Cloud][automatic-upgrade].\n\n\n\nAfter a maintenance upgrade, the DNS name remains the same. However, the IP address often changes.\n\n\n\n## Minor software upgrades\n\nIf you do not [manually upgrade TimescaleDB][minor-manual-upgrade] for non-critical upgrades,\nTiger Cloud performs upgrades automatically in the next available maintenance window. The upgrade is first applied to your services tagged `#dev`, and three weeks later to those tagged `#prod`. [Subscribe][subscribe] to get an email notification before your `#prod` services are upgraded. You can upgrade your `#prod` services manually sooner, if needed.\n\nMost upgrades that occur during your maintenance windows do not require any downtime. This means that there is no\nservice outage during the upgrade. However, all connections and transactions in progress during the upgrade are\nreset. Usually, the service connection is automatically restored after the reset.\n\nSome minor upgrades do require some downtime. This is usually between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. If downtime is required\nfor an upgrade, Tiger Data endeavors to notify you by email ahead of the upgrade. However, in some cases, we might not be\nable to do so. Best practice is to [schedule your maintenance window][define-maintenance-window] so that any downtime\ndisrupts your workloads as little as possible and [minimize downtime with replicas][minimize-downtime]. If there are no\npending upgrades available during a regular maintenance window, no changes are performed.\n\nTo track the status of maintenance events, see the Tiger Cloud [status page][status-page].\n\n### Minimize downtime with replicas\n\nMaintenance upgrades require up to two automatic failovers. Each failover takes less than a few seconds.\nTiger Cloud services with [high-availability replicas and read replicas][replicas-docs] require minimal write downtime during maintenance,\nread-only queries keep working throughout.\n\nDuring a maintenance event, services with replicas perform maintenance on each node independently. When maintenance is\ncomplete on the primary node, it is restarted:\n- If the restart takes more than a minute, a replica node is promoted to primary, given that the replica has no\n replication lag. Maintenance now proceeds on the newly promoted replica, following the same\n sequence. If the newly promoted replica takes more than a minute to restart, the former\n primary is promoted back. In total, the process may result in up to two minutes of write\n downtime and two failover events.\n- If the maintenance on the primary node is completed within a minute and it comes back online, the replica remains\n the replica.\n\n\n### Manually upgrade TimescaleDB for non-critical upgrades\n\nNon-critical upgrades are available before the upgrade is performed automatically by Tiger Cloud. To upgrade\nTimescaleDB manually:\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][cloud-login], select the service you want to upgrade.\n\n1. **Upgrade TimescaleDB**\n\n Either:\n - Click `SQL Editor`, then run `ALTEREXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE`.\n - Click `⋮`, then `Pause` and `Resume` the service.\n\n\nUpgrading to a newer version of Postgres allows you to take advantage of new\nfeatures, enhancements, and security fixes. It also ensures that you are using a\nversion of Postgres that's compatible with the newest version of TimescaleDB,\nallowing you to take advantage of everything it has to offer. For more\ninformation about feature changes between versions, see the [Tiger Cloud release notes][timescale-changelog],\n[supported systems][supported-systems], and the [Postgres release notes][postgres-relnotes].\n\n## Deprecations\n\nTo ensure you benefit from the latest features, optimal performance, enhanced security, and full compatibility\nwith TimescaleDB, Tiger Cloud supports a defined set of Postgres major versions. To reduce the maintenance burden and\ncontinue providing a high-quality managed experience, as Postgres and TimescaleDB evolve, Tiger Data periodically deprecates\nolder Postgres versions.\n\nTiger Data provides advance notification to allow you ample time to plan and perform your upgrade. The timeline\ndeprecation is as follows:\n- **Deprecation notice period begins**: you receive email notification of the deprecation and the timeline for the\n upgrade.\n- **Customer self-service upgrade window**: best practice is to [manually upgrade to a new Postgres version][manual-upgrade] in\n this time.\n- **Automatic upgrade deadline**: Tiger Cloud performs an [automatic upgrade][automatic-upgrade] of your service.\n\n\n## Manually upgrade Postgres for a service\n\nUpgrading to a newer version of Postgres enables you to take advantage of new features, enhancements, and security fixes.\nIt also ensures that you are using a version of Postgres that's compatible with the newest version of TimescaleDB.\n\nFor a smooth upgrade experience, make sure you:\n\n* **Plan ahead**: upgrades cause downtime, so ideally perform an upgrade during a low traffic time.\n* **Run a test upgrade**: [fork your service][operations-forking], then try out the upgrade on the fork before\n running it on your production system. This gives you a good idea of what happens during the upgrade, and how long it\n might take.\n* **Keep a copy of your service**: if you're worried about losing your data,\n [fork your service][operations-forking] without upgrading, and keep this duplicate of your service.\n To reduce cost, you can immediately pause this fork and only pay for storage until you are comfortable deleting it\n after the upgrade is complete.\n\n\n\nTiger Cloud services with replicas cannot be upgraded. To upgrade a service\nwith a replica, you must first delete the replica and then upgrade the service.\n\n\n\nThe following table shows you the compatible versions of Postgres and TimescaleDB.\n\n| TimescaleDB version |Postgres 17|Postgres 16|Postgres 15|Postgres 14|Postgres 13|Postgres 12|Postgres 11|Postgres 10|\n|-----------------------|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n| 2.22.x |✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.21.x |✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.20.x |✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.17 - 2.19 |✅|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.16.x |❌|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.13 - 2.15 |❌|✅|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.12.x |❌|❌|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.10.x |❌|❌|✅|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.5 - 2.9 |❌|❌|❌|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.4 |❌|❌|❌|❌|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|\n| 2.1 - 2.3 |❌|❌|❌|❌|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|\n| 2.0 |❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|✅|✅|❌|❌\n| 1.7 |❌|❌|❌|❌|❌|✅|✅|✅|✅|\n\nWe recommend not using TimescaleDB with Postgres 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, 12.21.\nThese minor versions [introduced a breaking binary interface change][postgres-breaking-change] that,\nonce identified, was reverted in subsequent minor Postgres versions 17.2, 16.6, 15.10, 14.15, 13.18, and 12.22.\nWhen you build from source, best practice is to build with Postgres 17.2, 16.6, etc and higher.\nUsers of [Tiger Cloud](https://console.cloud.timescale.com/) and platform packages for Linux, Windows, MacOS,\nDocker, and Kubernetes are unaffected.\n\nFor more information about feature changes between versions, see the\n[Postgres release notes][postgres-relnotes] and\n[TimescaleDB release notes][timescale-relnotes].\n\n\n\nYour Tiger Cloud service is unavailable until the upgrade is complete. This can take up to 20 minutes. Best practice is to\ntest on a fork first, so you can estimate how long the upgrade will take.\n\n\n\nTo upgrade your service to a newer version of Postgres:\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][cloud-login], select the service you want to upgrade.\n1. **Disable high-availability replicas**\n\n 1. Click `Operations` > `High Availability`, then click `Change configuaration`.\n 1. Select `Non-production (No replica)`, then click `Change configuration`.\n\n1. **Disable read replicas**\n\n 1. Click `Operations` > `Read scaling`, then click the trash icon next to all replica sets.\n\n1. **Upgrade Postgres**\n 1. Click `Operations` > `Service Upgrades`.\n 1. Click `Upgrade service`, then confirm that you are ready to start the upgrade.\n\n Your Tiger Cloud service is unavailable until the upgrade is complete. This normally takes up to 20 minutes.\n However, it can take longer if you have a large or complex service.\n\n When the upgrade is finished, your service automatically resumes normal\n operations. If the upgrade is unsuccessful, the service returns to the state\n it was in before you started the upgrade.\n\n1. **Enable high-availability replicas and replace your read replicas**\n\n## Automatic Postgres upgrades for a service\n\nIf you do not manually upgrade your services within the [customer self-service upgrade window][deprecation-window],\nTiger Cloud performs an automatic upgrade. Automatic upgrades can result in downtime, best practice is to\n[manually upgrade your services][manual-upgrade] during a low-traffic period for your application.\n\nDuring an automatic upgrade:\n1. Any configured [high-availability replicas][hareplica] or [read replicas][readreplica] are temporarily removed.\n1. The primary service is upgraded.\n1. High-availability replicas and read replicas are added back to the service.\n\n\n## Define your maintenance window\n\nWhen you are considering your maintenance window schedule, best practice is to choose a day and time that usually\nhas very low activity, such as during the early hours of the morning, or over the weekend. This helps minimize the\nimpact of a short service interruption. Alternatively, you might prefer to have your maintenance window occur during\noffice hours, so that you can monitor your system during the upgrade.\n\nTo change your maintenance window:\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][cloud-login], select the service you want to manage.\n1. **Set your maintenance window**\n 1. Click `Operations` > `Environment`, then click `Change maintenance window`.\n ![Maintenance and upgrades](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-maintenance-upgrades.png)\n 1. Select the maintence window start time, then click `Apply`.\n\n Maintenance windows can run for up to four hours.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/extensions/ =====\n\n# Postgres extensions\n\nThe following Postgres extensions are installed with each Tiger Cloud service:\n\n- [Tiger Data extensions][timescale-extensions]\n- [Postgres built-in extensions][built-ins]\n- [Third-party extensions][third-party]\n\n## Tiger Data extensions\n\n| Extension | Description | Enabled by default |\n|---------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| [pgai][pgai] | Helper functions for AI workflows | For [AI-focused][services] services |\n| [pg_textsearch][pg_textsearch] | [BM25][bm25-wiki]-based full-text search | Currently early access.

You don't need to perform\nbackups manually. What's more, with [cross-region backup][cross-region], you are protected when an entire AWS region goes down.\n\nTiger Cloud automatically creates one full backup every week, and incremental backups every day in the same region as\nyour service. Additionally, all [Write-Ahead Log (WAL)][wal] files are retained back to the oldest full backup.\nThis means that you always have a full backup available for the current and previous week:\n\n![Backup in Tiger](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/database-backup-recovery.png)\n\nOn [Scale and Performance][pricing-and-account-management] pricing plans, you can check the list of backups for the previous 14 days in Tiger Cloud Console. To do so, select your service, then click `Operations` > `Backup and restore` > `Backup history`.\n\nIn the event of a storage failure, a service automatically recovers from a backup\nto the point of failure. If the whole availability zone goes down, your Tiger Cloud services are recovered in a different zone. In the event of a user error, you can [create a point-in-time recovery fork][create-fork].\n\n## Enable cross-region backup\n\n\n\nFor added reliability, you can enable cross-region backup. This protects your data when an entire AWS region goes down. In this case, you have two identical backups of your service at any time, but one of them is in a different AWS region. Cross-region backups are updated daily and weekly in the same way as a regular backup. You can have one cross-region backup for a service.\n\nYou enable cross-region backup when you create a service, or configure it for an existing service in Tiger Cloud Console:\n\n1. In [Console][console], select your service and click `Operations` > `Backup & restore`.\n\n1. In `Cross-region backup`, select the region in the dropdown and click `Enable backup`.\n\n ![Create cross-region backup](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/create-cross-region-backup-in-tiger-console.png)\n\n You can now see the backup, its region, and creation date in a list.\n\nYou can have one cross-region backup per service. To change the region of your backup:\n\n1. In [Console][console], select your service and click `Operations` > `Backup & restore`.\n\n1. Click the trash icon next to the existing backup to disable it.\n\n ![Disable cross-region backup](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/cross-region-backup-list-in-tiger-console.png)\n\n1. Create a new backup in a different region.\n\n## Create a point-in-time recovery fork\n\n\n\nTo recover your service from a destructive or unwanted action, create a point-in-time recovery fork. You can\nrecover a service to any point within the period [defined by your pricing plan][pricing-and-account-management].\nThe provision time for the recovery fork is typically less than twenty minutes, but can take longer depending on the\namount of WAL to be replayed. The original service stays untouched to avoid losing data created since the time\nof recovery.\n\nAll tiered data remains recoverable during the PITR period. When restoring to any point-in-time recovery fork, your\nservice contains all data that existed at that moment - whether it was stored in high-performance or low-cost\nstorage.\n\nWhen you restore a recovery fork:\n- Data restored from a PITR point is placed into high-performance storage\n- The tiered data, as of that point in time, remains in tiered storage\n\n\n\nTo avoid paying for compute for the recovery fork and the original service, pause the original to only pay\nstorage costs.\n\nYou initiate a point-in-time recovery from a same-region or cross-region backup in Tiger Cloud Console:\n\n\n\n\n\n1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][console], from the `Services` list, ensure the service\n you want to recover has a status of `Running` or `Paused`.\n1. Navigate to `Operations` > `Service management` and click `Create recovery fork`.\n1. Select the recovery point, ensuring the correct time zone (UTC offset).\n1. Configure the fork.\n\n ![Create recovery fork](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/create-recovery-fork-tiger-console.png)\n\n You can configure the compute resources, add an HA replica, tag your fork, and\n add a connection pooler. Best practice is to match\n the same configuration you had at the point you want to recover to.\n1. Confirm by clicking `Create recovery fork`.\n\n A fork of the service is created. The recovered service shows in `Services` with a label specifying which service it has been forked from.\n\n1. Update the connection strings in your app\n\n Since the point-in-time recovery is done in a fork, to migrate your\n application to the point of recovery, change the connection\n strings in your application to use the fork.\n\n\n\n\n\n[Contact us](mailto:support@tigerdata.com), and we will assist in recovering your service.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## Create a service fork\n\nTo manage development forks:\n\n1. **Install Tiger CLI**\n\n Use the terminal to install the CLI:\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n brew install --cask timescale/tap/tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Set up API credentials**\n\n 1. Log Tiger CLI into your Tiger Data account:\n\n ```shell\n tiger auth login\n ```\n Tiger CLI opens Console in your browser. Log in, then click `Authorize`.\n\n You can have a maximum of 10 active client credentials. If you get an error, open [credentials][rest-api-credentials]\n and delete an unused credential.\n\n 1. Select a Tiger Cloud project:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n Auth URL is: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=lotsOfURLstuff\n Opening browser for authentication...\n Select a project:\n\n > 1. Tiger Project (tgrproject)\n 2. YourCompany (Company wide project) (cpnproject)\n 3. YourCompany Department (dptproject)\n\n Use ↑/↓ arrows or number keys to navigate, enter to select, q to quit\n ```\n If only one project is associated with your account, this step is not shown.\n\n Where possible, Tiger CLI stores your authentication information in the system keychain/credential manager.\n If that fails, the credentials are stored in `~/.config/tiger/credentials` with restricted file permissions (600).\n By default, Tiger CLI stores your configuration in `~/.config/tiger/config.yaml`.\n\n1. **Test your authenticated connection to Tiger Cloud by listing services**\n\n ```bash\n tiger service list\n ```\n\n This call returns something like:\n - No services:\n ```terminaloutput\n 🏜️ No services found! Your project is looking a bit empty.\n 🚀 Ready to get started? Create your first service with: tiger service create\n ```\n - One or more services:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n ┌────────────┬─────────────────────┬────────┬─────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────────┐\n │ SERVICE ID │ NAME │ STATUS │ TYPE │ REGION │ CREATED │\n ├────────────┼─────────────────────┼────────┼─────────────┼──────────────┼──────────────────┤\n │ tgrservice │ tiger-agent-service │ READY │ TIMESCALEDB │ eu-central-1 │ 2025-09-25 16:09 │\n └────────────┴─────────────────────┴────────┴─────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────────┘\n ```\n\n1. **Fork the service**\n\n ```shell\n tiger service fork tgrservice --now --no-wait --name bob\n ```\n By default a fork matches the resource of the parent Tiger Cloud services. For paid plans specify `--cpu` and/or `--memory` for dedicated resources.\n\n You see something like:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n 🍴 Forking service 'tgrservice' to create 'bob' at current state...\n ✅ Fork request accepted!\n 📋 New Service ID: \n 🔐 Password saved to system keyring for automatic authentication\n 🎯 Set service '' as default service.\n ⏳ Service is being forked.

Use the CLI to request service delete:\n\n ```shell\n tiger service delete \n ```\n 1. Validate the service delete:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n Are you sure you want to delete service ''? This operation cannot be undone.\n Type the service ID '' to confirm:\n \n ```\n You see something like:\n ```terminaloutput\n 🗑️ Delete request accepted for service ''.\n ✅ Service '' has been successfully deleted.\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/fork-services/ =====\n\n# Fork services\n\n\n\nModern development is highly iterative. Developers and AI agents need safe spaces to test changes before deploying them\nto production. Forkable services make this natural and easy. Spin up a branch, run your test, throw it away, or\nmerge it back.\n\nA fork is an exact copy of a service at a specific point in time, with its own independent data and configuration,\nincluding:\n- The database data and schema\n- Configuration\n- An admin `tsdbadmin` user with a new password\n\nForks are fully independent. Changes to the fork don't affect the parent service. You can query\nthem, run migrations, add indexes, or test new features against the fork without affecting the original service.\n\nForks are a powerful way to share production-scale data safely. Testing, BI and data science teams often need access\nto real datasets to build models or generate insights. With forkable services, you easily create fast, zero-copy\nbranches of a production service that are isolated from production, but contain all the data needed for\nanalysis. Rapid fork creation dramatically reduces friction getting insights from live data.\n\n## Understand service forks\n\nYou can use service forks for disaster recovery, CI/CD automation, and testing and development. For example, you\ncan automatically test a major Postgres upgrade on a fork before applying it to your production service.\n\nTiger Cloud offers the following fork strategies:\n\n- `now`: create a fresh fork of your database at the current time.\n Use when:\n - You need the absolute latest data\n - Recent changes must be included in the fork\n\n- `last-snapshot`: fork from the most recent [automatic backup or snapshot][automatic-backups].\n Use when:\n - You want the fastest possible fork creation\n - Slightly behind current data is acceptable\n\n- `timestamp`: fork from a specific point in time within your [retention period][pricing].\n Use when:\n - Disaster recovery from a known-good state\n - Investigating issues that occurred at a specific time\n - Testing \"what-if\" scenarios from historical data\n\nThe retention period for point-in-time recovery and forking depends on your [pricing plan][pricing-plan-features].\n\n### Fork creation speed\n\nFork creation speed depends on your type of service you want to create:\n\n- Free: ~30-90 seconds. Uses a Copy-on-Write storage architecture with zero-copy between a fork and the parent.\n- Paid: varies with the size of your service, typically 5-20+ minutes. Uses tradional storage architecture\n with backup restore + WAL replay.\n\n### Billing\n\nYou can fork a free service to a free or a paid service. However, you cannot fork a paid\nservice to a free service.\n\nBilling on storage works in the following way:\n\n- High-performance storage:\n - Copy-on-Write: you are only billed for storage for the chunks that diverge from the parent service.\n - Traditional: you are billed for storage for the whole service.\n- Object storage tier:\n - [Tiered data][data-tiering] is shared across forks using copy-on-write and traditional storage:\n - Chunks in tiered storage are only billed once, regardless of the number of forks\n - Only new or modified chunks in a fork incur additional costs\n\nFor details, see [Replicas and forks with tiered data][tiered-forks].\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Manage forks using Tiger CLI\n\nTo manage development forks:\n\n1. **Install Tiger CLI**\n\n Use the terminal to install the CLI:\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n brew install --cask timescale/tap/tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Set up API credentials**\n\n 1. Log Tiger CLI into your Tiger Data account:\n\n ```shell\n tiger auth login\n ```\n Tiger CLI opens Console in your browser. Log in, then click `Authorize`.\n\n You can have a maximum of 10 active client credentials. If you get an error, open [credentials][rest-api-credentials]\n and delete an unused credential.\n\n 1. Select a Tiger Cloud project:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n Auth URL is: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=lotsOfURLstuff\n Opening browser for authentication...\n Select a project:\n\n > 1. Tiger Project (tgrproject)\n 2. YourCompany (Company wide project) (cpnproject)\n 3. YourCompany Department (dptproject)\n\n Use ↑/↓ arrows or number keys to navigate, enter to select, q to quit\n ```\n If only one project is associated with your account, this step is not shown.\n\n Where possible, Tiger CLI stores your authentication information in the system keychain/credential manager.\n If that fails, the credentials are stored in `~/.config/tiger/credentials` with restricted file permissions (600).\n By default, Tiger CLI stores your configuration in `~/.config/tiger/config.yaml`.\n\n1. **Test your authenticated connection to Tiger Cloud by listing services**\n\n ```bash\n tiger service list\n ```\n\n This call returns something like:\n - No services:\n ```terminaloutput\n 🏜️ No services found! Your project is looking a bit empty.\n 🚀 Ready to get started? Create your first service with: tiger service create\n ```\n - One or more services:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n ┌────────────┬─────────────────────┬────────┬─────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────────┐\n │ SERVICE ID │ NAME │ STATUS │ TYPE │ REGION │ CREATED │\n ├────────────┼─────────────────────┼────────┼─────────────┼──────────────┼──────────────────┤\n │ tgrservice │ tiger-agent-service │ READY │ TIMESCALEDB │ eu-central-1 │ 2025-09-25 16:09 │\n └────────────┴─────────────────────┴────────┴─────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────────┘\n ```\n\n1. **Fork the service**\n\n ```shell\n tiger service fork tgrservice --now --no-wait --name bob\n ```\n By default a fork matches the resource of the parent Tiger Cloud services. For paid plans specify `--cpu` and/or `--memory` for dedicated resources.\n\n You see something like:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n 🍴 Forking service 'tgrservice' to create 'bob' at current state...\n ✅ Fork request accepted!\n 📋 New Service ID: \n 🔐 Password saved to system keyring for automatic authentication\n 🎯 Set service '' as default service.\n ⏳ Service is being forked. Use 'tiger service list' to check status.\n ┌───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐\n │ PROPERTY │ VALUE │\n ├───────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤\n │ Service ID │ │\n │ Name │ bob │\n │ Status │ │\n │ Type │ TIMESCALEDB │\n │ Region │ eu-central-1 │\n │ CPU │ 0.5 cores (500m) │\n │ Memory │ 2 GB │\n │ Direct Endpoint │ ..tsdb.cloud.timescale.com: │\n │ Created │ 2025-10-08 13:58:07 UTC │\n │ Connection String │ postgresql://tsdbadmin@..tsdb.cloud.timescale.com:/tsdb?sslmode=require │\n └───────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘\n ```\n\n1. **When you are done, delete your forked service**\n\n 1. Use the CLI to request service delete:\n\n ```shell\n tiger service delete \n ```\n 1. Validate the service delete:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n Are you sure you want to delete service ''? This operation cannot be undone.\n Type the service ID '' to confirm:\n \n ```\n You see something like:\n ```terminaloutput\n 🗑️ Delete request accepted for service ''.\n ✅ Service '' has been successfully deleted.\n ```\n\n## Manage forks using Console\n\nTo manage development forks:\n\n1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][console], from the `Services` list, ensure the service\n you want to recover has a status of `Running` or `Paused`.\n1. Navigate to `Operations` > `Service Management` and click `Fork service`.\n1. Configure the fork, then click `Fork service`.\n\n A fork of the service is created. The forked service shows in `Services` with a label\n specifying which service it has been forked from.\n\n ![See the forked service](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tsc-forked-service.webp)\n\n1. Update the connection strings in your app to use the fork.\n\n## Integrate service forks in your CI/CD pipeline\n\nTo fork your Tiger Cloud service using GitHub actions:\n\n1. **Store your Tiger Cloud API key as a GitHub Actions secret**\n\n 1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][rest-api-credentials], click `Create credentials`.\n 2. Save the `Public key` and `Secret key` locally, then click `Done`.\n 1. In your GitHub repository, click `Settings`, open `Secrets and variables`, then click `Actions`.\n 3. Click `New repository secret`, then set `Name` to `TIGERDATA_API_KEY`\n 4. Set `Secret` to your Tiger Cloud API key in the following format `:`, then click `Add secret`.\n\n1. **Add the [GitHub Actions Marketplace][github-action] to your workflow YAML files**\n\n For example, the following workflow forks a service when a pull request is opened,\n running tests against the fork, then automatically cleans up.\n\n ```yaml\n name: Test on a service fork\n on: pull_request\n\n jobs:\n test:\n runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n steps:\n - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n\n - name: Fork Database\n id: fork\n uses: timescale/fork-service@v1\n with:\n project_id: ${{ secrets.TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID }}\n service_id: ${{ secrets.TIGERDATA_SERVICE_ID }}\n api_key: ${{ secrets.TIGERDATA_API_KEY }}\n fork_strategy: last-snapshot\n cleanup: true\n name: pr-${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}\n\n - name: Run Integration Tests\n env:\n DATABASE_URL: postgresql://tsdbadmin:${{ steps.fork.outputs.initial_password }}@${{ steps.fork.outputs.host }}:${{ steps.fork.outputs.port }}/tsdb?sslmode=require\n run: |\n npm install\n npm test\n - name: Run Migrations\n env:\n DATABASE_URL: postgresql://tsdbadmin:${{ steps.fork.outputs.initial_password }}@${{ steps.fork.outputs.host }}:${{ steps.fork.outputs.port }}/tsdb?sslmode=require\n run: npm run migrate\n ```\n\n For the full list of inputs, outputs, and configuration options, see the [Tiger Data - Fork Service][github-action] in GitHub marketplace.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/jobs/ =====\n\n# Jobs in TimescaleDB\n\nTimescaleDB natively includes some job-scheduling policies, such as:\n\n* [Continuous aggregate policies][caggs] to automatically refresh continuous aggregates\n* [Hypercore policies][setup-hypercore] to optimize and compress historical data\n* [Retention policies][retention] to drop historical data\n* [Reordering policies][reordering] to reorder data within chunks\n\nIf these don't cover your use case, you can create and schedule custom-defined jobs to run within\nyour database.

Tiger Lake unifies the Tiger Cloud operational architecture with data lake architectures.\n\n![Tiger Lake architecture](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-lake-integration-tiger.svg)\n\nTiger Lake is a native integration enabling synchronization between hypertables and relational tables\nrunning in Tiger Cloud services to Iceberg tables running in [Amazon S3 Tables][s3-tables] in your AWS account.\n\n\n\nTiger Lake is currently in private beta. Please contact us to request access.\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need your [connection details][connection-info].\n\n## Integrate a data lake with your Tiger Cloud service\n\nTo connect a Tiger Cloud service to your data lake:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Set the AWS region to host your table bucket**\n 1. In [AWS CloudFormation][cmc], select the current AWS region at the top-right of the page.\n 1. Set it to the Region you want to create your table bucket in.\n\n **This must match the region your Tiger Cloud service is running in**: if the regions do not match AWS charges you for\n cross-region data transfer.\n\n1. **Create your CloudFormation stack**\n 1. Click `Create stack`, then select `With new resources (standard)`.\n 1. In `Amazon S3 URL`, paste the following URL, then click `Next`.\n\n ```http request\n https://tigerlake.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/tigerlake-connect-cloudformation.yaml\n ```\n\n 1. In `Specify stack details`, enter the following details, then click `Next`:\n * `Stack Name`: a name for this CloudFormation stack\n * `BucketName`: a name for this S3 table bucket\n * `ProjectID` and `ServiceID`: enter the [connection details][get-project-id] for your Tiger Lake service\n 1. In `Configure stack options` check `I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources`, then\n click `Next`.\n 1. In `Review and create`, click `Submit`, then wait for the deployment to complete.\n AWS deploys your stack and creates the S3 table bucket and IAM role.\n 1. Click `Outputs`, then copy all four outputs.\n\n1. **Connect your service to the data lake**\n\n 1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal], select the service you want to integrate with AWS S3 Tables, then click\n `Connectors`.\n\n 1. Select the Apache Iceberg connector and supply the:\n - ARN of the S3Table bucket\n - ARN of a role with permissions to write to the table bucket\n\n Provisioning takes a couple of minutes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Create your CloudFormation stack**\n\n Replace the following values in the command, then run it from the terminal:\n\n * `Region`: region of the S3 table bucket\n * `StackName`: the name for this CloudFormation stack\n * `BucketName`: the name of the S3 table bucket to create\n * `ProjectID`: enter your Tiger Cloud service [connection details][get-project-id]\n * `ServiceID`: enter your Tiger Cloud service [connection details][get-project-id]\n\n ```shell\n aws cloudformation create-stack \\\n --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM \\\n --template-url https://tigerlake.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/tigerlake-connect-cloudformation.yaml \\\n --region \\\n --stack-name \\\n --parameters \\\n ParameterKey=BucketName,ParameterValue=\"\" \\\n ParameterKey=ProjectID,ParameterValue=\"\" \\\n ParameterKey=ServiceID,ParameterValue=\"\"\n ```\n\n Setting up the integration through Tiger Cloud Console in Tiger Cloud, provides a convenient copy-paste option with the\n placeholders populated.\n\n1. **Connect your service to the data lake**\n\n 1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal], select the service you want to integrate with AWS S3 Tables, then click\n `Connectors`.\n\n 1. Select the Apache Iceberg connector and supply the:\n - ARN of the S3Table bucket\n - ARN of a role with permissions to write to the table bucket\n\n Provisioning takes a couple of minutes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Create a S3 Bucket**\n\n 1. Set the AWS region to host your table bucket\n 1. In [Amazon S3 console][s3-console], select the current AWS region at the top-right of the page.\n 2. Set it to the Region your you want to create your table bucket in.\n\n **This must match the region your Tiger Cloud service is running in**: if the regions do not match AWS charges you for\n cross-region data transfer.\n 1. In the left navigation pane, click `Table buckets`, then click `Create table bucket`.\n 1. Enter `Table bucket name`, then click `Create table bucket`.\n 1. Copy the `Amazon Resource Name (ARN)` for your table bucket.\n\n1. **Create an ARN role**\n 1. In [IAM Dashboard][iam-dashboard], click `Roles` then click `Create role`\n 1. In `Select trusted entity`, click `Custom trust policy`, replace the **Custom trust policy** code block with the\n following:\n\n ```json\n {\n \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\n \"Statement\": [\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Principal\": {\n \"AWS\": \"arn:aws:iam::142548018081:root\"\n },\n \"Action\": \"sts:AssumeRole\",\n \"Condition\": {\n \"StringEquals\": {\n \"sts:ExternalId\": \"/\"\n }\n }\n }\n ]\n }\n ```\n\n `\"Principal\": { \"AWS\": \"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root\" }` does not mean `root` access. This delegates\n permissions to the entire AWS account, not just the root user.\n\n 1. Replace `` and `` with the the [connection details][get-project-id] for your Tiger Lake\n service, then click `Next`.\n\n 1. In `Permissions policies`. click `Next`.\n 1. In `Role details`, enter `Role name`, then click `Create role`.\n 1. In `Roles`, select the role you just created, then click `Add Permissions` > `Create inline policy`.\n 1. Select `JSON` then replace the `Policy editor` code block with the following:\n\n ```json\n {\n \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\n \"Statement\": [\n {\n \"Sid\": \"BucketOps\",\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Action\": [\n \"s3tables:*\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": \"\"\n },\n {\n \"Sid\": \"BucketTableOps\",\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Action\": [\n \"s3tables:*\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": \"/table/*\"\n }\n ]\n }\n ```\n 1. Replace `` with the `Amazon Resource Name (ARN)` for the table bucket you just created.\n 1. Click `Next`, then give the inline policy a name and click `Create policy`.\n\n1. **Connect your service to the data lake**\n\n 1. In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal], select the service you want to integrate with AWS S3 Tables, then click\n `Connectors`.\n\n 1. Select the Apache Iceberg connector and supply the:\n - ARN of the S3Table bucket\n - ARN of a role with permissions to write to the table bucket\n\n Provisioning takes a couple of minutes.\n\n\n\n\n\n## Stream data from your Tiger Cloud service to your data lake\n\nWhen you start streaming, all data in the table is synchronized to Iceberg. Records are imported in time order, from\noldest to youngest. The write throughput is approximately 40.000 records / second. For larger tables, a full import can\ntake some time.\n\nFor Iceberg to perform update or delete statements, your hypertable or relational table must have a primary key.\nThis includes composite primary keys.\n\nTo stream data from a Postgres relational table, or a hypertable in your Tiger Cloud service to your data lake, run the following\nstatement:\n\n```sql\nALTER TABLE SET (\n tigerlake.iceberg_sync = true | false,\n tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby = '',\n tigerlake.iceberg_namespace = '',\n tigerlake.iceberg_table = ''\n)\n```\n\n* `tigerlake.iceberg_sync`: `boolean`, set to `true` to start streaming, or `false` to stop the stream. A stream\n **cannot** resume after being stopped.\n* `tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby`: optional property to define a partition specification in Iceberg. By default the\n Iceberg table is partitioned as `day()`. This default behavior is only applicable\n to hypertables. For more information, see [partitioning][partitioning].\n* `tigerlake.iceberg_namespace`: optional property to set a namespace, the default is `timescaledb`.\n* `tigerlake.iceberg_table`: optional property to specify a different table name. If no name is specified the Postgres table name is used.\n\n### Partitioning intervals\n\nBy default, the partition interval for an Iceberg table is one day(time-column) for a hypertable.\nPostgres table sync does not enable any partitioning in Iceberg for non-hypertables. You can set it using\n[tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby][samples]. The following partition intervals and specifications are supported:\n\n| Interval | Description | Source types |\n| ------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| --- |\n| `hour` | Extract a date or timestamp day, as days from epoch. Epoch is 1970-01-01. | `date`, `timestamp`, `timestamptz` |\n| `day` | Extract a date or timestamp day, as days from epoch. | `date`, `timestamp`, `timestamptz` |\n| `month` | Extract a date or timestamp day, as days from epoch. | `date`, `timestamp`, `timestamptz` |\n| `year` | Extract a date or timestamp day, as days from epoch. | `date`, `timestamp`, `timestamptz` |\n| `truncate[W]` | Value truncated to width W, see [options][iceberg-truncate-options] |\n\nThese partitions define the behavior using the [Iceberg partition specification][iceberg-partition-spec]:\n\n### Sample code\n\nThe following samples show you how to tune data sync from a hypertable or a Postgres relational table to your\ndata lake:\n\n- **Sync a hypertable with the default one-day partitioning interval on the `ts_column` column**\n\n To start syncing data from a hypertable to your data lake using the default one-day chunk interval as the\n partitioning scheme to the Iceberg table, run the following statement:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE my_hypertable SET (tigerlake.iceberg_sync = true);\n ```\n\n This is equivalent to `day(ts_column)`.\n\n- **Specify a custom partitioning scheme for a hypertable**\n\n You use the `tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby` property to specify a different partitioning scheme for the Iceberg\n table at sync start. For example, to enforce an hourly partition scheme from the chunks on `ts_column` on a\n hypertable, run the following statement:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE my_hypertable SET (\n tigerlake.iceberg_sync = true,\n tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby = 'hour(ts_column)'\n );\n ```\n\n- **Set the partition to sync relational tables**\n\n Postgres relational tables do not forward a partitioning scheme to Iceberg, you must specify the partitioning scheme using\n `tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby` when you start the sync. For example, for a standard Postgres table to sync to the Iceberg\n table with daily partitioning , run the following statement:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE my_postgres_table SET (\n tigerlake.iceberg_sync = true,\n tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby = 'day(timestamp_col)'\n );\n ```\n\n- **Stop sync to an Iceberg table for a hypertable or a Postgres relational table**\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE my_hypertable SET (tigerlake.iceberg_sync = false);\n ```\n\n- **Update or add the partitioning scheme of an Iceberg table**\n\n To change the partitioning scheme of an Iceberg table, you specify the desired partitioning scheme using the `tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby` property.\n For example. if the `samples` table has an hourly (`hour(ts)`) partition on the `ts` timestamp column,\n to change to daily partitioning, call the following statement:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE samples SET (tigerlake.iceberg_partitionby = 'day(ts)');\n ```\n\n This statement is also correct for Iceberg tables without a partitioning scheme.\n When you change the partition, you **do not** have to pause the sync to Iceberg.\n Apache Iceberg handles the partitioning operation in function of the internal implementation.\n\n**Specify a different namespace**\n\n By default, tables are created in the the `timescaledb` namespace. To specify a different namespace when you start the sync, use the `tigerlake.iceberg_namespace` property. For example:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE my_hypertable SET (\n tigerlake.iceberg_sync = true,\n tigerlake.iceberg_namespace = 'my_namespace'\n );\n ```\n\n**Specify a different Iceberg table name**\n\n The table name in Iceberg is the same as the source table in Tiger Cloud.\n Some services do not allow mixed case, or have other constraints for table names.\n To define a different table name for the Iceberg table at sync start, use the `tigerlake.iceberg_table` property. For example:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE Mixed_CASE_TableNAME SET (\n tigerlake.iceberg_sync = true,\n tigerlake.iceberg_table = 'my_table_name'\n );\n ```\n\n## Limitations\n\n* Service requires Postgres 17.6 and above is supported.\n* Consistent ingestion rates of over 30000 records / second can lead to a lost replication slot. Burst can be feathered out over time.\n* [Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST][aws-s3-tables] catalog only is supported.\n* In order to collect deletes made to data in the columstore, certain columnstore optimizations are disabled for hypertables.\n* [Direct Compress][direct-compress] is not supported.\n* The `TRUNCATE` statement is not supported, and does not truncate data in the corresponding Iceberg table.\n* Data in a hypertable that has been moved to the [low-cost object storage tier][data-tiering] is not synced.\n* Writing to the same S3 table bucket from multiple services is not supported, bucket-to-service mapping is one-to-one.\n* Iceberg snapshots are pruned automatically if the amount exceeds 2500.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/troubleshoot-timescaledb/ =====\n\n# Troubleshooting TimescaleDB\n\n\n\nIf you run into problems when using TimescaleDB, there are a few things that you\ncan do. There are some solutions to common errors in this section as well as ways to\noutput diagnostic information about your setup. If you need more guidance, you\ncan join the community [Slack group][slack] or post an issue on the TimescaleDB\n[GitHub][github].\n\n## Common errors\n\n### Error updating TimescaleDB when using a third-party Postgres administration tool\n\nThe `ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE` command must be the first\ncommand executed upon connection to a database. Some administration tools\nexecute commands before this, which can disrupt the process. You might\nneed to manually update the database with `psql`. See the\n[update docs][update-db] for details.\n\n### Log error: could not access file \"timescaledb\"\n\nIf your Postgres logs have this error preventing it from starting up, you\nshould double-check that the TimescaleDB files have been installed to the\ncorrect location. The installation methods use `pg_config` to get Postgres's\nlocation. However, if you have multiple versions of Postgres installed on the\nsame machine, the location `pg_config` points to may not be for the version you\nexpect. To check which version of TimescaleDB is used:\n\n```bash\n$ pg_config --version\nPostgreSQL 12.3\n```\n\nIf that is the correct version, double-check that the installation path is\nthe one you'd expect. For example, for Postgres 11.0 installed via\nHomebrew on macOS it should be `/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.0/bin`:\n\n```bash\n$ pg_config --bindir\n/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.0/bin\n```\n\nIf either of those steps is not the version you are expecting, you need to\neither uninstall the incorrect version of Postgres if you can, or update your\n`PATH` environmental variable to have the correct path of `pg_config` listed\nfirst, that is, by prepending the full path:\n\n```bash\nexport PATH = /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.0/bin:$PATH\n```\n\nThen, reinstall TimescaleDB and it should find the correct installation\npath.\n\n### ERROR: could not access file \"timescaledb-\\\": No such file or directory\n\nIf the error occurs immediately after updating your version of TimescaleDB and\nthe file mentioned is from the previous version, it is probably due to an\nincomplete update process. Within the greater Postgres server instance, each\ndatabase that has TimescaleDB installed needs to be updated with the SQL command\n`ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE;` while connected to that database.\nOtherwise, the database looks for the previous version of the `timescaledb` files.\n\nSee [our update docs][update-db] for more info.\n\n### Scheduled jobs stop running\n\nYour scheduled jobs might stop running for various reasons. On self-hosted\nTimescaleDB, you can fix this by restarting background workers:\n\n```sql\nSELECT _timescaledb_internal.restart_background_workers();\n```\n\nOn Tiger Cloud and Managed Service for TimescaleDB, restart background workers by doing one of the following:\n\n* Run `SELECT timescaledb_pre_restore()`, followed by `SELECT\n timescaledb_post_restore()`.\n* Power the service off and on again. This might cause a downtime of a few\n minutes while the service restores from backup and replays the write-ahead\n log.\n\n### Failed to start a background worker\n\nYou might see this error message in the logs if background workers aren't\nproperly configured:\n\n```bash\n\"\": failed to start a background worker\n```\n\nTo fix this error, make sure that `max_worker_processes`,\n`max_parallel_workers`, and `timescaledb.max_background_workers` are properly\nset. `timescaledb.max_background_workers` should equal the number of databases\nplus the number of concurrent background workers. `max_worker_processes` should\nequal the sum of `timescaledb.max_background_workers` and\n`max_parallel_workers`.\n\nFor more information, see the [worker configuration docs][worker-config].\n\n### Cannot compress chunk\n\nYou might see this error message when trying to compress a chunk if\nthe permissions for the compressed hypertable are corrupt.\n\n```sql\ntsdb=> SELECT compress_chunk('_timescaledb_internal._hyper_65_587239_chunk');\nERROR: role 149910 was concurrently dropped\n```\n\nThis can be caused if you dropped a user for the hypertable before\nTimescaleDB 2.5. For this case, the user would be removed from\n`pg_authid` but not revoked from the compressed table.\n\nAs a result, the compressed table contains permission items that\nrefer to numerical values rather than existing users (see below for\nhow to find the compressed hypertable from a normal hypertable):\n\n```sql\ntsdb=> \\dp _timescaledb_internal._compressed_hypertable_2\n Access privileges\n Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column privileges | Policies\n--------+--------------+-------+---------------------+-------------------+----------\n public | transactions | table | mats=arwdDxt/mats +| |\n | | | wizard=arwdDxt/mats+| |\n | | | 149910=r/mats | |\n(1 row)\n```\n\nThis means that the `relacl` column of `pg_class` needs to be updated\nand the offending user removed, but it is not possible to drop a user\nby numerical value. Instead, you can use the internal function\n`repair_relation_acls` in the `_timescaledb_function` schema:\n\n```sql\ntsdb=> CALL _timescaledb_functions.repair_relation_acls();\n```\n\n\nThis requires superuser privileges (since you're modifying the\n`pg_class` table) and that it removes any user not present in\n`pg_authid` from *all* tables, so use with caution.\n\n\nThe permissions are usually corrupted for the hypertable as well, but\nnot always, so it is better to look at the compressed hypertable to\nsee if the problem is present. To find the compressed hypertable for\nan associated hypertable (`readings` in this case):\n\n```sql\ntsdb=> select ht.table_name,\ntsdb-> (select format('%I.%I', schema_name, table_name)::regclass\ntsdb-> from _timescaledb_catalog.hypertable\ntsdb->\t\t\twhere ht.compressed_hypertable_id = id) as compressed_table\ntsdb-> from _timescaledb_catalog.hypertable ht\ntsdb-> where table_name = 'readings';\n format | format\n----------+------------------------------------------------\n readings | _timescaledb_internal._compressed_hypertable_2\n(1 row)\n```\n\n## Getting more information\n\n### EXPLAINing query performance\n\nPostgres's EXPLAIN feature allows users to understand the underlying query\nplan that Postgres uses to execute a query. There are multiple ways that\nPostgres can execute a query: for example, a query might be fulfilled using a\nslow sequence scan or a much more efficient index scan. The choice of plan\ndepends on what indexes are created on the table, the statistics that Postgres\nhas about your data, and various planner settings. The EXPLAIN output let's you\nknow which plan Postgres is choosing for a particular query. Postgres has a\n[in-depth explanation][using explain] of this feature.\n\nTo understand the query performance on a hypertable, we suggest first\nmaking sure that the planner statistics and table maintenance is up-to-date on the hypertable\nby running `VACUUM ANALYZE ;`. Then, we suggest running the\nfollowing version of EXPLAIN:\n\n```sql\nEXPLAIN (ANALYZE on, BUFFERS on) ;\n```\n\nIf you suspect that your performance issues are due to slow IOs from disk, you\ncan get even more information by enabling the\n[track\\_io\\_timing][track_io_timing] variable with `SET track_io_timing = 'on';`\nbefore running the above EXPLAIN.\n\n## Dump TimescaleDB meta data\n\nTo help when asking for support and reporting bugs,\nTimescaleDB includes a SQL script that outputs metadata\nfrom the internal TimescaleDB tables as well as version information.\nThe script is available in the source distribution in `scripts/`\nbut can also be [downloaded separately][].\nTo use it, run:\n\n```bash\npsql [your connect flags] -d your_timescale_db < dump_meta_data.sql > dumpfile.txt\n```\n\nand then inspect `dump_file.txt` before sending it together with a bug report or support question.\n\n## Debugging background jobs\n\nBy default, background workers do not print a lot of information about\nexecution. The reason for this is to avoid writing a lot of debug\ninformation to the Postgres log unless necessary.\n\nTo aid in debugging the background jobs, it is possible to increase\nthe log level of the background workers without having to restart the\nserver by setting the `timescaledb.bgw_log_level` GUC and reloading\nthe configuration.\n\n```sql\nALTER SYSTEM SET timescaledb.bgw_log_level TO 'DEBUG1';\nSELECT pg_reload_conf();\n```\n\nThis variable is set to the value of\n[`log_min_messages`][log_min_messages] by default, which typically is\n`WARNING`. If the value of [`log_min_messages`][log_min_messages] is\nchanged in the configuration file, it is used for\n`timescaledb.bgw_log_level` when starting the workers.\n\n\nBoth `ALTER SYSTEM` and `pg_reload_conf()` require superuser\nprivileges by default. Grant `EXECUTE` permissions\nto `pg_reload_conf()` and `ALTER SYSTEM` privileges to\n`timescaledb.bgw_log_level` if you want this to work for a\nnon-superuser.\n\nSince `ALTER SYSTEM` privileges only exist on Postgres 15 and later,\nthe necessary grants for executing these statements only exist on Tiger Cloud for Postgres 15 or later.\n\n\n### Debug level 1\n\nThe amount of information printed at each level varies between jobs,\nbut the information printed at `DEBUG1` is currently shown below.\n\n| Source | Event |\n|-------------------|------------------------------------------------------|\n| All jobs | Job exit with runtime information |\n| All jobs | Job scheduled for fast restart |\n| Custom job | Execution started |\n| Recompression job | Recompression job completed |\n| Reorder job | Chunk reorder completed |\n| Reorder job | Chunk reorder started |\n| Scheduler | New jobs discovered and added to scheduled jobs list |\n| Scheduler | Scheduling job for launch |\n\n### Debug level 2\n\nThe amount of information printed at each level varies between jobs,\nbut the information printed at `DEBUG2` is currently shown below.\n\nNote that all messages at level `DEBUG1` are also printed when you set\nthe log level to `DEBUG2`, which is [normal Postgres\nbehaviour][log_min_messages].\n\n| Source | Event |\n|-----------|------------------------------------|\n| All jobs | Job found in jobs table |\n| All jobs | Job starting execution |\n| Scheduler | Scheduled jobs list update started |\n| Scheduler | Scheduler dispatching job |\n\n### Debug level 5\n\n| Source | Event |\n|-----------|--------------------------------------|\n| Scheduler | Scheduled wake up |\n| Scheduler | Scheduler delayed in dispatching job |\n\n\n## hypertable chunks are not discoverable by the Postgres CDC service\n\nhypertables require special handling for CDC support. Newly created chunks are not\nnot published, which means they are not discoverable by the CDC service.\nTo fix this problem, use the following trigger to automatically publishe newly created chunks on the replication slot.\nPlease be aware that TimescaleDB does not provide full CDC support.\n\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ddl_end_trigger_func() RETURNS EVENT_TRIGGER AS\n$$\nDECLARE\n r RECORD;\n pub NAME;\nBEGIN\n FOR r IN SELECT * FROM pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands()\n LOOP\n SELECT pubname INTO pub\n FROM pg_inherits\n JOIN _timescaledb_catalog.hypertable ht\n ON inhparent = format('%I.%I', ht.schema_name, ht.table_name)::regclass\n JOIN pg_publication_tables\n ON schemaname = ht.schema_name AND tablename = ht.table_name\n WHERE inhrelid = r.objid;\n\n IF NOT pub IS NULL THEN\n EXECUTE format('ALTER PUBLICATION %s ADD TABLE %s', pub, r.objid::regclass);\n END IF;\n END LOOP;\nEND;\n$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;\n\nCREATE EVENT TRIGGER ddl_end_trigger\nON ddl_command_end WHEN TAG IN ('CREATE TABLE') EXECUTE FUNCTION ddl_end_trigger_func();\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/compression/ =====\n\n# Compression\n\n\n\nOld API since [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0) Replaced by hypercore.\n\nTime-series data can be compressed to reduce the amount of storage required, and\nincrease the speed of some queries. This is a cornerstone feature of\nTimescaleDB. When new data is added to your database, it is in the form of\nuncompressed rows. TimescaleDB uses a built-in job scheduler to convert this\ndata to the form of compressed columns. This occurs across chunks of TimescaleDB\nhypertables.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/real-time-analytics-transport/ =====\n\n# Analytics on transport and geospatial data\n\n\n\nReal-time analytics refers to the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data instantly as it\nis generated. This approach enables you track and monitor activity, and make decisions based on real-time\ninsights on data stored in a Tiger Cloud service.\n\n![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-heatmap.png)\n\nThis page shows you how to integrate [Grafana][grafana-docs] with a Tiger Cloud service and make insights based on visualization\nof data optimized for size and speed in the columnstore.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install and run [self-managed Grafana][grafana-self-managed], or sign up for [Grafana Cloud][grafana-cloud].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. **Import time-series data into a hypertable**\n\n 1. Unzip [nyc_data.tar.gz](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/nyc_data.tar.gz) to a ``.\n\n This test dataset contains historical data from New York's yellow taxi network.\n\n To import up to 100GB of data directly from your current Postgres-based database,\n [migrate with downtime][migrate-with-downtime] using native Postgres tooling. To seamlessly import 100GB-10TB+\n of data, use the [live migration][migrate-live] tooling supplied by Tiger Data. To add data from non-Postgres\n data sources, see [Import and ingest data][data-ingest].\n\n 1. In Terminal, navigate to `` and update the following string with [your connection details][connection-info]\n to connect to your service.\n\n ```bash\n psql -d \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n 1. Create an optimized hypertable for your time-series data:\n\n 1. Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] with [hypercore][hypercore] enabled by default for your\n time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table]. For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes]\n on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will use most often to filter your data.\n\n In your sql client, run the following command:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE \"rides\"(\n vendor_id TEXT,\n pickup_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n dropoff_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n passenger_count NUMERIC,\n trip_distance NUMERIC,\n pickup_longitude NUMERIC,\n pickup_latitude NUMERIC,\n rate_code INTEGER,\n dropoff_longitude NUMERIC,\n dropoff_latitude NUMERIC,\n payment_type INTEGER,\n fare_amount NUMERIC,\n extra NUMERIC,\n mta_tax NUMERIC,\n tip_amount NUMERIC,\n tolls_amount NUMERIC,\n improvement_surcharge NUMERIC,\n total_amount NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='pickup_datetime',\n tsdb.create_default_indexes=false,\n tsdb.segmentby='vendor_id',\n tsdb.orderby='pickup_datetime DESC'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n 1. Add another dimension to partition your hypertable more efficiently:\n ```sql\n SELECT add_dimension('rides', by_hash('payment_type', 2));\n ```\n\n 1. Create an index to support efficient queries by vendor, rate code, and passenger count:\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (vendor_id, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (rate_code, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (passenger_count, pickup_datetime DESC);\n ```\n\n 1. Create Postgres tables for relational data:\n\n 1. Add a table to store the payment types data:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"payment_types\"(\n payment_type INTEGER,\n description TEXT\n );\n INSERT INTO payment_types(payment_type, description) VALUES\n (1, 'credit card'),\n (2, 'cash'),\n (3, 'no charge'),\n (4, 'dispute'),\n (5, 'unknown'),\n (6, 'voided trip');\n ```\n\n 1. Add a table to store the rates data:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"rates\"(\n rate_code INTEGER,\n description TEXT\n );\n INSERT INTO rates(rate_code, description) VALUES\n (1, 'standard rate'),\n (2, 'JFK'),\n (3, 'Newark'),\n (4, 'Nassau or Westchester'),\n (5, 'negotiated fare'),\n (6, 'group ride');\n ```\n\n 1. Upload the dataset to your service\n ```sql\n \\COPY rides FROM nyc_data_rides.csv CSV;\n ```\n\n1. **Have a quick look at your data**\n\n You query hypertables in exactly the same way as you would a relational Postgres table.\n Use one of the following SQL editors to run a query and see the data you uploaded:\n - **Data mode**: write queries, visualize data, and share your results in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode] for all your Tiger Cloud services.\n - **SQL editor**: write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode] for a Tiger Cloud service.\n - **psql**: easily run queries on your Tiger Cloud services or self-hosted TimescaleDB deployment from Terminal.\n\n For example:\n - Display the number of rides for each fare type:\n ```sql\n SELECT rate_code, COUNT(vendor_id) AS num_trips\n FROM rides\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY rate_code\n ORDER BY rate_code;\n ```\n This simple query runs in 3 seconds. You see something like:\n\n | rate_code | num_trips\t|\n |-----------------|-----------|\n |1 | 2266401|\n |2 | 54832|\n |3 | 4126|\n |4 | 967|\n |5 | 7193|\n |6 | 17|\n |99 | 42|\n\n - To select all rides taken in the first week of January 2016, and return the total number of trips taken for each rate code:\n ```sql\n SELECT rates.description, COUNT(vendor_id) AS num_trips\n FROM rides\n JOIN rates ON rides.rate_code = rates.rate_code\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY rates.description\n ORDER BY LOWER(rates.description);\n ```\n On this large amount of data, this analytical query on data in the rowstore takes about 59 seconds. You see something like:\n\n | description\t| num_trips\t|\n |-----------------|-----------|\n | group ride | \t17 |\n | JFK\t | 54832 |\n | Nassau or Westchester | \t967 |\n | negotiated fare | \t7193 |\n | Newark | \t4126 |\n | standard rate | \t2266401 |\n\n## Optimize your data for real-time analytics\n\n\nWhen TimescaleDB converts a chunk to the columnstore, it automatically creates a different schema for your\ndata. TimescaleDB creates and uses custom indexes to incorporate the `segmentby` and `orderby` parameters when\nyou write to and read from the columstore.\n\nTo increase the speed of your analytical queries by a factor of 10 and reduce storage costs by up to 90%, convert data\nto the columnstore:\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your serviceusing [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Add a policy to convert chunks to the columnstore at a specific time interval**\n\n For example, convert data older than 8 days old to the columstore:\n ``` sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('rides', INTERVAL '8 days');\n ```\n See [add_columnstore_policy][add_columnstore_policy].\n\n The data you imported for this tutorial is from 2016, it was already added to the columnstore by default. However,\n you get the idea. To see the space savings in action, follow [Try the key Tiger Data features][try-timescale-features].\n\nJust to hit this one home, by converting cooling data to the columnstore, you have increased the speed of your analytical\nqueries by a factor of 10, and reduced storage by up to 90%.\n\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\n In your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\n Configure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n 1. Click `Save & test`.\n\n Grafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n## Monitor performance over time\n\nA Grafana dashboard represents a view into the performance of a system, and each dashboard consists of one or\nmore panels, which represent information about a specific metric related to that system.\n\nTo visually monitor the volume of taxi rides over time:\n\n1. **Create the dashboard**\n\n 1. On the `Dashboards` page, click `New` and select `New dashboard`.\n\n 1. Click `Add visualization`.\n 1. Select the data source that connects to your Tiger Cloud service.\n The `Time series` visualization is chosen by default.\n ![Grafana create dashboard](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-configure-dashboard.png)\n 1. In the `Queries` section, select `Code`, then select `Time series` in `Format`.\n 1. Select the data range for your visualization:\n the data set is from 2016. Click the date range above the panel and set:\n - From: ```2016-01-01 01:00:00```\n - To: ```2016-01-30 01:00:00```\n\n1. **Combine TimescaleDB and Grafana functionality to analyze your data**\n\n Combine a TimescaleDB [time_bucket][use-time-buckets], with the Grafana `_timefilter()` function to set the\n `pickup_datetime` column as the filtering range for your visualizations.\n ```sql\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', pickup_datetime) AS \"time\",\n COUNT(*)\n FROM rides\n WHERE _timeFilter(pickup_datetime)\n GROUP BY time\n ORDER BY time;\n ```\n This query groups the results by day and orders them by time.\n\n ![Grafana real-time analytics](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-final-dashboard.png)\n\n1. **Click `Save dashboard`**\n\n## Optimize revenue potential\n\nHaving all this data is great but how do you use it? Monitoring data is useful to check what\nhas happened, but how can you analyse this information to your advantage? This section explains\nhow to create a visualization that shows how you can maximize potential revenue.\n\n### Set up your data for geospatial queries\n\nTo add geospatial analysis to your ride count visualization, you need geospatial data to work out which trips\noriginated where. As TimescaleDB is compatible with all Postgres extensions, use [PostGIS][postgis] to slice\ndata by time and location.\n\n1. Connect to your [Tiger Cloud service][in-console-editors] and add the PostGIS extension:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE EXTENSION postgis;\n ```\n\n1. Add geometry columns for pick up and drop off locations:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE rides ADD COLUMN pickup_geom geometry(POINT,2163);\n ALTER TABLE rides ADD COLUMN dropoff_geom geometry(POINT,2163);\n ```\n\n1. Convert the latitude and longitude points into geometry coordinates that work with PostGIS:\n\n ```sql\n UPDATE rides SET pickup_geom = ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(pickup_longitude,pickup_latitude),4326),2163),\n dropoff_geom = ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(dropoff_longitude,dropoff_latitude),4326),2163);\n ```\n This updates 10,906,860 rows of data on both columns, it takes a while. Coffee is your friend.\n\n### Visualize the area where you can make the most money\n\nIn this section you visualize a query that returns rides longer than 5 miles for\ntrips taken within 2 km of Times Square. The data includes the distance travelled and\nis `GROUP BY` `trip_distance` and location so that Grafana can plot the data properly.\n\nThis enables you to see where a taxi driver is most likely to pick up a passenger who wants a longer ride,\nand make more money.\n\n1. **Create a geolocalization dashboard**\n\n 1. In Grafana, create a new dashboard that is connected to your Tiger Cloud service data source with a Geomap\n visualization.\n\n 1. In the `Queries` section, select `Code`, then select the Time series `Format`.\n\n ![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-configure-dashboard.png)\n\n 1. To find rides longer than 5 miles in Manhattan, paste the following query:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('5m', rides.pickup_datetime) AS time,\n rides.trip_distance AS value,\n rides.pickup_latitude AS latitude,\n rides.pickup_longitude AS longitude\n FROM rides\n WHERE rides.pickup_datetime BETWEEN '2016-01-01T01:41:55.986Z' AND '2016-01-01T07:41:55.986Z' AND\n ST_Distance(pickup_geom,\n ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(-73.9851,40.7589),4326),2163)\n ) < 2000\n GROUP BY time,\n rides.trip_distance,\n rides.pickup_latitude,\n rides.pickup_longitude\n ORDER BY time\n LIMIT 500;\n ```\n You see a world map with a dot on New York.\n 1. Zoom into your map to see the visualization clearly.\n\n1. **Customize the visualization**\n\n 1. In the Geomap options, under `Map Layers`, click `+ Add layer` and select `Heatmap`.\n You now see the areas where a taxi driver is most likely to pick up a passenger who wants a\n longer ride, and make more money.\n\n ![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-heatmap.png)\n\nYou have integrated Grafana with a Tiger Cloud service and made insights based on visualization of\nyour data.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/real-time-analytics-energy-consumption/ =====\n\n# Real-time analytics with Tiger Cloud and Grafana\n\n\n\nEnergy providers understand that customers tend to lose patience when there is not enough power for them\nto complete day-to-day activities.

To seamlessly import 100GB-10TB+\n of data, use the [live migration][migrate-live] tooling supplied by Tiger Data. To add data from non-Postgres\n data sources, see [Import and ingest data][data-ingest].\n\n 1. In Terminal, navigate to `` and update the following string with [your connection details][connection-info]\n to connect to your service.\n\n ```bash\n psql -d \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n 1. Create an optimized hypertable for your time-series data:\n\n 1. Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] with [hypercore][hypercore] enabled by default for your\n time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table]. For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes]\n on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will use most often to filter your data.\n\n In your sql client, run the following command:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE \"metrics\"(\n created timestamp with time zone default now() not null,\n type_id integer not null,\n value double precision not null\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='created',\n tsdb.segmentby = 'type_id',\n tsdb.orderby = 'created DESC'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n 1. Upload the dataset to your service\n ```sql\n \\COPY metrics FROM metrics.csv CSV;\n ```\n\n1. **Have a quick look at your data**\n\n You query hypertables in exactly the same way as you would a relational Postgres table.\n Use one of the following SQL editors to run a query and see the data you uploaded:\n - **Data mode**: write queries, visualize data, and share your results in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-data-mode] for all your Tiger Cloud services.\n - **SQL editor**: write, fix, and organize SQL faster and more accurately in [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode] for a Tiger Cloud service.\n - **psql**: easily run queries on your Tiger Cloud services or self-hosted TimescaleDB deployment from Terminal.\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n On this amount of data, this query on data in the rowstore takes about 3.6 seconds. You see something like:\n\n | Time\t | value |\n |------------------------------|-------|\n | 2023-05-29 22:00:00+00 | 23.1 |\n | 2023-05-28 22:00:00+00 | 19.5 |\n | 2023-05-30 22:00:00+00 | 25 |\n | 2023-05-31 22:00:00+00 | 8.1 |\n\n## Optimize your data for real-time analytics\n\nWhen TimescaleDB converts a chunk to the columnstore, it automatically creates a different schema for your\ndata. TimescaleDB creates and uses custom indexes to incorporate the `segmentby` and `orderby` parameters when\nyou write to and read from the columstore.\n\nTo increase the speed of your analytical queries by a factor of 10 and reduce storage costs by up to 90%, convert data\nto the columnstore:\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Add a policy to convert chunks to the columnstore at a specific time interval**\n\n For example, 60 days after the data was added to the table:\n ``` sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('metrics', INTERVAL '8 days');\n ```\n See [add_columnstore_policy][add_columnstore_policy].\n\n1. **Faster analytical queries on data in the columnstore**\n\n Now run the analytical query again:\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n On this amount of data, this analytical query on data in the columnstore takes about 250ms.\n\nJust to hit this one home, by converting cooling data to the columnstore, you have increased the speed of your analytical\nqueries by a factor of 10, and reduced storage by up to 90%.\n\n## Write fast analytical queries\n\nAggregation is a way of combining data to get insights from it. Average, sum, and count are all examples of simple\naggregates. However, with large amounts of data aggregation slows things down, quickly. Continuous aggregates\nare a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically in the background as new data is added, or old data is\nmodified. Changes to your dataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is automatically\nupdated in the background.\n\nBy default, querying continuous aggregates provides you with real-time data. Pre-aggregated data from the materialized\nview is combined with recent data that hasn't been aggregated yet. This gives you up-to-date results on every query.\n\nYou create continuous aggregates on uncompressed data in high-performance storage. They continue to work\non [data in the columnstore][test-drive-enable-compression]\nand [rarely accessed data in tiered storage][test-drive-tiered-storage]. You can even\ncreate [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs].\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on a day-to-day basis**\n\n 1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_day_by_day` for energy consumption:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW kwh_day_by_day(time, value)\n with (timescaledb.continuous) as\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy to keep `kwh_day_by_day` up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('kwh_day_by_day',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on an hourly basis**\n\n 1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_hour_by_hour` for energy consumption:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW kwh_hour_by_hour(time, value)\n with (timescaledb.continuous) as\n SELECT time_bucket('01:00:00', metrics.created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('kwh_hour_by_hour',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. **Analyze your data**\n\n Now you have made continuous aggregates, it could be a good idea to use them to perform analytics on your data.\n For example, to see how average energy consumption changes during weekdays over the last year, run the following query:\n ```sql\n WITH per_day AS (\n SELECT\n time,\n value\n FROM kwh_day_by_day\n WHERE \"time\" at time zone 'Europe/Berlin' > date_trunc('month', time) - interval '1 year'\n ORDER BY 1\n ), daily AS (\n SELECT\n to_char(time, 'Dy') as day,\n value\n FROM per_day\n ), percentile AS (\n SELECT\n day,\n approx_percentile(0.50, percentile_agg(value)) as value\n FROM daily\n GROUP BY 1\n ORDER BY 1\n )\n SELECT\n d.day,\n d.ordinal,\n pd.value\n FROM unnest(array['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']) WITH ORDINALITY AS d(day, ordinal)\n LEFT JOIN percentile pd ON lower(pd.day) = lower(d.day);\n ```\n\n You see something like:\n\n | day | ordinal | value |\n | --- | ------- | ----- |\n | Mon | 2 | 23.08078714975423 |\n | Sun | 1 | 19.511430831944395 |\n | Tue | 3 | 25.003118897837307 |\n | Wed | 4 | 8.09300571759772 |\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\n In your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\n Configure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n 1. Click `Save & test`.\n\n Grafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n## Visualize energy consumption\n\nA Grafana dashboard represents a view into the performance of a system, and each dashboard consists of one or\nmore panels, which represent information about a specific metric related to that system.\n\nTo visually monitor the volume of energy consumption over time:\n\n1. **Create the dashboard**\n\n 1. On the `Dashboards` page, click `New` and select `New dashboard`.\n\n 1. Click `Add visualization`, then select the data source that connects to your Tiger Cloud service and the `Bar chart`\n visualization.\n\n ![Grafana create dashboard](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-configure-dashboard.png)\n 1. In the `Queries` section, select `Code`, then run the following query based on your continuous aggregate:\n\n ```sql\n WITH per_hour AS (\n SELECT\n time,\n value\n FROM kwh_hour_by_hour\n WHERE \"time\" at time zone 'Europe/Berlin' > date_trunc('month', time) - interval '1 year'\n ORDER BY 1\n ), hourly AS (\n SELECT\n extract(HOUR FROM time) * interval '1 hour' as hour,\n value\n FROM per_hour\n )\n SELECT\n hour,\n approx_percentile(0.50, percentile_agg(value)) as median,\n max(value) as maximum\n FROM hourly\n GROUP BY 1\n ORDER BY 1;\n ```\n\n This query averages the results for households in a specific time zone by hour and orders them by time.\n Because you use a continuous aggregate, this data is always correct in real time.\n\n ![Grafana real-time analytics](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-energy-cagg.png)\n\n You see that energy consumption is highest in the evening and at breakfast time. You also know that the wind\n drops off in the evening. This data proves that you need to supply a supplementary power source for peak times,\n or plan to store energy during the day for peak times.\n\n1. **Click `Save dashboard`**\n\nYou have integrated Grafana with a Tiger Cloud service and made insights based on visualization of your data.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/simulate-iot-sensor-data/ =====\n\n# Simulate an IoT sensor dataset\n\n\n\nThe Internet of Things (IoT) describes a trend where computing capabilities are embedded into IoT devices. That is, physical objects, ranging from light bulbs to oil wells. Many IoT devices collect sensor data about their environment and generate time-series datasets with relational metadata.\n\nIt is often necessary to simulate IoT datasets. For example, when you are\ntesting a new system. This tutorial shows how to simulate a basic dataset in your Tiger Cloud service, and then run simple queries on it.\n\nTo simulate a more advanced dataset, see [Time-series Benchmarking Suite (TSBS)][tsbs].\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Simulate a dataset\n\nTo simulate a dataset, run the following queries:\n\n1. **Create the `sensors` table**:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE sensors(\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type VARCHAR(50),\n location VARCHAR(50)\n );\n ```\n\n1. **Create the `sensor_data` hypertable**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id)\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Populate the `sensors` table**:\n\n ```sql\n INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES\n ('a','floor'),\n ('a', 'ceiling'),\n ('b','floor'),\n ('b', 'ceiling');\n ```\n\n1. **Verify that the sensors have been added correctly**:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM sensors;\n ```\n\n Sample output:\n\n ```\n id | type | location\n ----+------+----------\n 1 | a | floor\n 2 | a | ceiling\n 3 | b | floor\n 4 | b | ceiling\n (4 rows)\n ```\n\n1. **Generate and insert a dataset for all sensors:**\n\n ```sql\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, cpu, temperature)\n SELECT\n time,\n sensor_id,\n random() AS cpu,\n random()*100 AS temperature\n FROM generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS g1(time), generate_series(1,4,1) AS g2(sensor_id);\n ```\n\n1. **Verify the simulated dataset**:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM sensor_data ORDER BY time;\n ```\n\n Sample output:\n\n ```\n time | sensor_id | temperature | cpu\n -------------------------------+-----------+--------------------+---------------------\n 2020-03-31 15:56:25.843575+00 | 1 | 6.86688972637057 | 0.682070567272604\n 2020-03-31 15:56:40.244287+00 | 2 | 26.589260622859 | 0.229583469685167\n 2030-03-31 15:56:45.653115+00 | 3 | 79.9925176426768 | 0.457779890391976\n 2020-03-31 15:56:53.560205+00 | 4 | 24.3201029952615 | 0.641885648947209\n 2020-03-31 16:01:25.843575+00 | 1 | 33.3203678019345 | 0.0159163917414844\n 2020-03-31 16:01:40.244287+00 | 2 | 31.2673618085682 | 0.701185956597328\n 2020-03-31 16:01:45.653115+00 | 3 | 85.2960689924657 | 0.693413889966905\n 2020-03-31 16:01:53.560205+00 | 4 | 79.4769988860935 | 0.360561791341752\n ...\n ```\n\n## Run basic queries\n\nAfter you simulate a dataset, you can run some basic queries on it.

One method is to run a `PARTITION BY` query to get\n`ROW_NUMBER()` and then the `ctid` of rows where `row_number>1`. You then delete these rows. However,\nyou need to check `tableoid` and `ctid`. This is because `ctid` is not unique and might be duplicated in\ndifferent chunks. The following code example took 17 hours to process a table with 40 million rows:\n\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION deduplicate_chunks(ht_name TEXT, partition_columns TEXT, bot_id INT DEFAULT NULL)\n RETURNS TABLE\n (\n chunk_schema name,\n chunk_name name,\n deleted_count INT\n )\nAS\n$$\nDECLARE\n chunk RECORD;\n where_clause TEXT := '';\n deleted_count INT;\nBEGIN\n IF bot_id IS NOT NULL THEN\n where_clause := FORMAT('WHERE bot_id = %s', bot_id);\n END IF;\n\n FOR chunk IN\n SELECT c.chunk_schema, c.chunk_name\n FROM timescaledb_information.chunks c\n WHERE c.hypertable_name = ht_name\n LOOP\n EXECUTE FORMAT('\n WITH cte AS (\n SELECT ctid,\n ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY %s ORDER BY %s ASC) AS row_num,\n *\n FROM %I.%I\n %s\n )\n DELETE FROM %I.%I\n WHERE ctid IN (\n SELECT ctid\n FROM cte\n WHERE row_num > 1\n )\n RETURNING 1;\n ', partition_columns, partition_columns, chunk.chunk_schema, chunk.chunk_name, where_clause, chunk.chunk_schema,\n chunk.chunk_name)\n INTO deleted_count;\n\n RETURN QUERY SELECT chunk.chunk_schema, chunk.chunk_name, COALESCE(deleted_count, 0);\n END LOOP;\nEND\n$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;\n\n\nSELECT *\nFROM deduplicate_chunks('nudge_events', 'bot_id, session_id, nudge_id, time', 2540);\n```\n\nShoutout to **Mathias Ose** and **Christopher Piggott** for this recipe.\n\n### Get faster JOIN queries with Common Table Expressions\n\nImagine there is a query that joins a hypertable to another table on a shared key:\n\n```sql\n SELECT timestamp,\n FROM hypertable as h\n JOIN related_table as rt\n ON rt.id = h.related_table_id\n WHERE h.timestamp BETWEEN '2024-10-10 00:00:00' AND '2024-10-17 00:00:00'\n```\n\nIf you run `EXPLAIN` on this query, you see that the query planner performs a `NestedJoin` between these two tables, which means querying the hypertable multiple times. Even if the hypertable is well indexed, if it is also large, the query will be slow. How do you force a once-only lookup? Use materialized Common Table Expressions (CTEs).\n\nIf you split the query into two parts using CTEs, you can `materialize` the hypertable lookup and force Postgres to perform it only once.\n\n```sql\nWITH cached_query AS materialized (\n SELECT *\n FROM hypertable\n WHERE BETWEEN '2024-10-10 00:00:00' AND '2024-10-17 00:00:00'\n)\n SELECT *\n FROM cached_query as c\n JOIN related_table as rt\n ON rt.id = h.related_table_id\n```\n\nNow if you run `EXPLAIN` once again, you see that this query performs only one lookup. Depending on the size of your hypertable, this could result in a multi-hour query taking mere seconds.\n\nShoutout to **Rowan Molony** for this recipe.\n\n## IoT recipes\n\nThis section contains recipes for IoT issues:\n\n### Work with columnar IoT data\n\nNarrow and medium width tables are a great way to store IoT data. A lot of reasons are outlined in\n[Designing Your Database Schema: Wide vs. Narrow Postgres Tables][blog-wide-vs-narrow].\n\nOne of the key advantages of narrow tables is that the schema does not have to change when you add new\nsensors. Another big advantage is that each sensor can sample at different rates and times. This helps\nsupport things like hysteresis, where new values are written infrequently unless the value changes by a\ncertain amount.\n\n#### Narrow table format example\n\nWorking with narrow table data structures presents a few challenges. In the IoT world one concern is that\nmany data analysis approaches - including machine learning as well as more traditional data analysis -\nrequire that your data is resampled and synchronized to a common time basis. Fortunately, TimescaleDB provides\nyou with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions] and other tools to help you work with this data.\n\nAn example of a narrow table format is:\n\n| ts | sensor_id | value |\n|-------------------------|-----------|-------|\n| 2024-10-31 11:17:30.000 | 1007 | 23.45 |\n\nTypically you would couple this with a sensor table:\n\n| sensor_id | sensor_name | units |\n|-----------|--------------|--------------------------|\n| 1007 | temperature | degreesC |\n| 1012 | heat_mode | on/off |\n| 1013 | cooling_mode | on/off |\n| 1041 | occupancy | number of people in room |\n\nA medium table retains the generic structure but adds columns of various types so that you can\nuse the same table to store float, int, bool, or even JSON (jsonb) data:\n\n| ts | sensor_id | d | i | b | t | j |\n|-------------------------|-----------|-------|------|------|------|------|\n| 2024-10-31 11:17:30.000 | 1007 | 23.45 | null | null | null | null |\n| 2024-10-31 11:17:47.000 | 1012 | null | null | TRUE | null | null |\n| 2024-10-31 11:18:01.000 | 1041 | null | 4 | null | null | null |\n\nTo remove all-null entries, use an optional constraint such as:\n\n```sql\n CONSTRAINT at_least_one_not_null\n CHECK ((d IS NOT NULL) OR (i IS NOT NULL) OR (b IS NOT NULL) OR (j IS NOT NULL) OR (t IS NOT NULL))\n```\n\n#### Get the last value of every sensor\n\nThere are several ways to get the latest value of every sensor. The following examples use the\nstructure defined in [Narrow table format example][setup-a-narrow-table-format] as a reference:\n\n- [SELECT DISTINCT ON][select-distinct-on]\n- [JOIN LATERAL][join-lateral]\n\n##### SELECT DISTINCT ON\n\nIf you have a list of sensors, the easy way to get the latest value of every sensor is to use\n`SELECT DISTINCT ON`:\n\n```sql\nWITH latest_data AS (\n SELECT DISTINCT ON (sensor_id) ts, sensor_id, d\n FROM iot_data\n WHERE d is not null\n AND ts > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1 week' -- important\n ORDER BY sensor_id, ts DESC\n)\nSELECT\n sensor_id, sensors.name, ts, d\nFROM latest_data\nLEFT OUTER JOIN sensors ON latest_data.sensor_id = sensors.id\nWHERE latest_data.d is not null\nORDER BY sensor_id, ts; -- Optional, for displaying results ordered by sensor_id\n```\n\nThe common table expression (CTE) used above is not strictly necessary. However, it is an elegant way to join\nto the sensor list to get a sensor name in the output. If this is not something you care about,\nyou can leave it out:\n\n```sql\nSELECT DISTINCT ON (sensor_id) ts, sensor_id, d\n FROM iot_data\n WHERE d is not null\n AND ts > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1 week' -- important\n ORDER BY sensor_id, ts DESC\n```\n\nIt is important to take care when down-selecting this data. In the previous examples,\nthe time that the query would scan back was limited. However, if there any sensors that have either\nnot reported in a long time or in the worst case, never reported, this query devolves to a full table scan.\nIn a database with 1000+ sensors and 41 million rows, an unconstrained query takes over an hour.\n\n#### JOIN LATERAL\n\nAn alternative to [SELECT DISTINCT ON][select-distinct-on] is to use a `JOIN LATERAL`. By selecting your entire\nsensor list from the sensors table rather than pulling the IDs out using `SELECT DISTINCT`, `JOIN LATERAL` can offer\nsome improvements in performance:\n\n```sql\nSELECT sensor_list.id, latest_data.ts, latest_data.d\nFROM sensors sensor_list\n -- Add a WHERE clause here to downselect the sensor list, if you wish\nLEFT JOIN LATERAL (\n SELECT ts, d\n FROM iot_data raw_data\n WHERE sensor_id = sensor_list.id\n ORDER BY ts DESC\n LIMIT 1\n) latest_data ON true\nWHERE latest_data.d is not null -- only pulling out float values (\"d\" column) in this example\n AND latest_data.ts > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - interval '1 week' -- important\nORDER BY sensor_list.id, latest_data.ts;\n```\n\nLimiting the time range is important, especially if you have a lot of data. Best practice is to use these\nkinds of queries for dashboards and quick status checks. To query over a much larger time range, encapsulate\nthe previous example into a materialized query that refreshes infrequently, perhaps once a day.\n\nShoutout to **Christopher Piggott** for this recipe.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/blockchain-query/ =====\n\n# Query the Bitcoin blockchain\n\n\n\nThe financial industry is extremely data-heavy and relies on real-time and historical data for decision-making, risk assessment, fraud detection, and market analysis.

Under the hood, this is achieved by using hypertables—Postgres tables that automatically partition your time-series data by time and optionally by other dimensions. When you run a query, Tiger Cloud identifies the correct partition, called chunk, and runs the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n![Hypertable structure](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable.png)\n\nHypertables offer the following benefits:\n\n- **Efficient data management with [automated partitioning by time][chunk-size]**: Tiger Cloud splits your data into chunks that hold data from a specific time range. For example, one day or one week. You can configure this range to better suit your needs.\n\n- **Better performance with [strategic indexing][hypertable-indexes]**: an index on time in the descending order is automatically created when you create a hypertable. More indexes are created on the chunk level, to optimize performance. You can create additional indexes, including unique indexes, on the columns you need.\n\n- **Faster queries with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping]**: Tiger Cloud skips the chunks that are irrelevant in the context of your query, dramatically reducing the time and resources needed to fetch results. Even more—you can enable chunk skipping on non-partitioning columns.\n\n- **Advanced data analysis with [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions]**: Tiger Cloud enables you to efficiently process, aggregate, and analyze significant volumes of data while maintaining high performance.\n\nTo top it all, there is no added complexity—you interact with hypertables in the same way as you would with regular Postgres tables. All the optimization magic happens behind the scenes.\n\n\n\nInheritance is not supported for hypertables and may lead to unexpected behavior.\n\nFor more information about using hypertables, including chunk size partitioning,\nsee the [hypertable section][hypertable-docs].\n\n## The hypertable workflow\n\nBest practice for using a hypertable is to:\n\n1. **Create a hypertable**\n\n Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data. For example:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby = 'device',\n tsdb.orderby = 'time DESC'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Set the columnstore policy**\n\n ```sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('conditions', after => INTERVAL '1d');\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypercore/ =====\n\n# Hypercore\n\n\n\nHypercore is a hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB. It is designed specifically for\nreal-time analytics and powered by time-series data. The advantage of hypercore is its ability\nto seamlessly switch between row-oriented and column-oriented storage, delivering the best of both worlds:\n\n![Hypercore workflow](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable-with-hypercore-enabled.png)\n\nHypercore solves the key challenges in real-time analytics:\n\n- High ingest throughput\n- Low-latency ingestion\n- Fast query performance\n- Efficient handling of data updates and late-arriving data\n- Streamlined data management\n\nHypercore’s hybrid approach combines the benefits of row-oriented and column-oriented formats:\n\n- **Fast ingest with rowstore**: new data is initially written to the rowstore, which is optimized for\n high-speed inserts and updates. This process ensures that real-time applications easily handle\n rapid streams of incoming data. Mutability—upserts, updates, and deletes happen seamlessly.\n\n- **Efficient analytics with columnstore**: as the data **cools** and becomes more suited for\n analytics, it is automatically converted to the columnstore. This columnar format enables\n fast scanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical workloads while also\n saving significant storage space.\n\n- **Faster queries on compressed data in columnstore**: in the columnstore conversion, hypertable\n chunks are compressed by up to 98%, and organized for efficient, large-scale queries. Combined with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping], this helps you save on storage costs and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.\n\n- **Fast modification of compressed data in columnstore**: just use SQL to add or modify data in the columnstore.\n TimescaleDB is optimized for superfast INSERT and UPSERT performance.\n\n- **Full mutability with transactional semantics**: regardless of where data is stored,\n hypercore provides full ACID support. Like in a vanilla Postgres database, inserts and updates\n to the rowstore and columnstore are always consistent, and available to queries as soon as they are\n completed.\n\nFor an in-depth explanation of how hypertables and hypercore work, see the [Data model][data-model].\n\nSince [TimescaleDB v2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0)\n\n## Hypercore workflow\n\nBest practice for using hypercore is to:\n\n1. **Enable columnstore**\n\n Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data. For example:\n\n * [Use `CREATE TABLE` for a hypertable][hypertable-create-table]\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_ticks (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n symbol TEXT,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION,\n day_volume NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby='symbol',\n tsdb.orderby='time DESC'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n * [Use `ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW` for a continuous aggregate][compression_continuous-aggregate]\n ```sql\n ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW assets_candlestick_daily set (\n timescaledb.enable_columnstore = true,\n timescaledb.segmentby = 'symbol' );\n ```\n\n1. **Add a policy to move chunks to the columnstore at a specific time interval**\n\n For example, 7 days after the data was added to the table:\n ``` sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('crypto_ticks', after => INTERVAL '7d');\n ```\n See [add_columnstore_policy][add_columnstore_policy].\n\n1. **View the policies that you set or the policies that already exist**\n\n ``` sql\n SELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.jobs\n WHERE proc_name='policy_compression';\n ```\n See [timescaledb_information.jobs][informational-views].\n\nYou can also [convert_to_columnstore][convert_to_columnstore] and [convert_to_rowstore][convert_to_rowstore] manually\nfor more fine-grained control over your data.\n\n## Limitations\n\nChunks in the columnstore have the following limitations:\n\n* `ROW LEVEL SECURITY` is not supported on chunks in the columnstore.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/continuous-aggregates/ =====\n\n# Continuous aggregates\n\n\n\nIn modern applications, data usually grows very quickly. This means that aggregating\nit into useful summaries can become very slow. If you are collecting data very frequently, you might want to aggregate your\ndata into minutes or hours instead. For example, if an IoT device takes\ntemperature readings every second, you might want to find the average temperature\nfor each hour. Every time you run this query, the database needs to scan the\nentire table and recalculate the average. TimescaleDB makes aggregating data lightning fast, accurate, and easy with continuous aggregates.\n\n![Reduced data calls with continuous aggregates](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/continuous-aggregate.png)\n\nContinuous aggregates in TimescaleDB are a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically\nin the background as new data is added, or old data is modified. Changes to your\ndataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is\nautomatically updated in the background.\n\nContinuous aggregates have a much lower maintenance burden than regular Postgres materialized\nviews, because the whole view is not created from scratch on each refresh. This\nmeans that you can get on with working your data instead of maintaining your\ndatabase.\n\nBecause continuous aggregates are based on hypertables, you can query them in exactly the same way as your other tables. This includes continuous aggregates in the rowstore, compressed into the [columnstore][hypercore],\nor [tiered to object storage][data-tiering]. You can even create [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs], for an even more fine-tuned aggregation.\n\n[Real-time aggregation][real-time-aggregation] enables you to combine pre-aggregated data from the materialized view with the most recent raw data. This gives you up-to-date results on every query. In TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default. In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\nFor more information about using continuous aggregates, see the documentation in [Use Tiger Data products][cagg-docs].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/data-retention/ =====\n\n# Data retention\n\nAn intrinsic part of time-series data is that new data is accumulated and old\ndata is rarely, if ever, updated. This means that the relevance of the data\ndiminishes over time. It is therefore often desirable to delete old data to save\ndisk space.\n\nWith TimescaleDB, you can manually remove old chunks of data or implement\npolicies using these APIs.\n\nFor more information about creating a data retention policy, see the\n[data retention section][data-retention-howto].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/jobs-automation/ =====\n\n# Jobs\n\nJobs allow you to run functions and procedures implemented in a\nlanguage of your choice on a schedule within Timescale. This allows\nautomatic periodic tasks that are not covered by existing policies and\neven enhancing existing policies with additional functionality.\n\nThe following APIs and views allow you to manage the jobs that you create and\nget details around automatic jobs used by other TimescaleDB functions like\ncontinuous aggregation refresh policies and data retention policies. To view the\npolicies that you set or the policies that already exist, see\n[informational views][informational-views].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/uuid-functions/ =====\n\n# UUIDv7 functions\n\nUUIDv7 is a time-ordered UUID that includes a Unix timestamp (with millisecond precision) in its first 48 bits. Like\nother UUIDs, it uses 6 bits for version and variant info, and the remaining 74 bits are random.\n\n![UUIDv7 microseconds](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/uuidv7-structure-microseconds.svg)\n\nUUIDv7 is ideal anywhere you create lots of records over time, not only observability. Advantages are:\n\n- **No extra column required to partition by time with sortability**: you can sort UUIDv7 instances by their value. This\n is useful for ordering records by creation time without the need for a separate timestamp column.\n- **Indexing performance**: UUIDv7s increase with time, so new rows append near the end of a B-tree instead of\n This results in fewer page splits, less fragmentation, faster inserts, and efficient time-range scans.\n- **Easy keyset pagination**: `WHERE id > :cursor` and natural sharding.\n- **UUID**: safe across services, replicas, and unique across distributed systems.\n\nUUIDv7 also increases query speed by reducing the number of chunks scanned during queries. For example, in a database\nwith 25 million rows, the following query runs in 25 seconds:\n\n```sql\nWITH ref AS (SELECT now() AS t0)\nSELECT count(*) AS cnt_ts_filter\nFROM events e, ref\nWHERE uuid_timestamp(e.event_id) >= ref.t0 - INTERVAL '2 days';\n```\n\nUsing UUIDv7 excludes chunks at startup and reduces the query time to 550ms:\n\n```sql\nWITH ref AS (SELECT now() AS t0)\nSELECT count(*) AS cnt_boundary_filter\nFROM events e, ref\nWHERE e.event_id >= to_uuidv7_boundary(ref.t0 - INTERVAL '2 days')\n```\n\n\n\nYou use UUIDvs for events, orders, messages, uploads, runs, jobs, spans, and more.\n\n## Examples\n\n- **High-rate event logs for observability and metrics**:\n\n UUIDv7 gives you globally unique IDs (for traceability) and time windows (“last hour”), without the need for a\n separate `created_at` column. UUIDv7 create less churn because inserts land at the end of the index, and you can\n filter by time using UUIDv7 objects.\n\n - Last hour:\n ```sql\n SELECT count(*) FROM logs WHERE id >= to_uuidv7_boundary(now() - interval '1 hour');\n ```\n - Keyset pagination\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM logs WHERE id > to_uuidv7($last_seen'::timestamptz, true) ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000;\n ```\n\n- **Workflow / durable execution runs**:\n\n Each run needs a stable ID for joins and retries, and you often ask “what started since X?”. UUIDs help by serving\n both as the primary key and a time cursor across services. For example:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT run_id, status\n FROM runs\n WHERE run_id >= to_uuidv7_boundary(now() - interval '5 minutes')\n ```\n\n- **Orders / activity feeds / messages (SaaS apps)**:\n\n Human-readable timestamps are not mandatory in a table. However, you still need time-ordered pages and day/week ranges.\n UUIDv7 enables clean date windows and cursor pagination with just the ID. For example:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM orders\n WHERE id >= to_uuidv7('2025-08-01'::timestamptz, true)\n AND id < to_uuidv7('2025-08-02'::timestamptz, true)\n ORDER BY id;\n ```\n\n\n\n\n## Functions\n\n- [generate_uuidv7()][generate_uuidv7]: generate a version 7 UUID based on current time\n- [to_uuidv7()][to_uuidv7]: create a version 7 UUID from a PostgreSQL timestamp\n- [to_uuidv7_boundary()][to_uuidv7_boundary]: create a version 7 \"boundary\" UUID from a PostgreSQL timestamp\n- [uuid_timestamp()][uuid_timestamp]: extract a PostgreSQL timestamp from a version 7 UUID\n- [uuid_timestamp_micros()][uuid_timestamp_micros]: extract a PostgreSQL timestamp with microsecond precision from a version 7 UUID\n- [uuid_version()][uuid_version]: extract the version of a UUID\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/approximate_row_count/ =====\n\n# approximate_row_count()\n\nGet approximate row count for hypertable, distributed hypertable, or regular Postgres table based on catalog estimates.\nThis function supports tables with nested inheritance and declarative partitioning.\n\nThe accuracy of `approximate_row_count` depends on the database having up-to-date statistics about the table or hypertable, which are updated by `VACUUM`, `ANALYZE`, and a few DDL commands.

Unlike `date_bin`, it allows for arbitrary time intervals of months or\nlonger. The return value is the bucket's start time.\n\nBuckets are aligned to start at midnight in UTC+0. The time bucket size (`bucket_width`) can be set as INTERVAL or INTEGER. For INTERVAL-type `bucket_width`, you can change the time zone with the optional `timezone` parameter. In this case, the buckets are realigned to start at midnight in the time zone you specify.\n\nNote that during shifts to and from daylight savings, the amount of data\naggregated into the corresponding buckets can be irregular. For example, if the\n`bucket_width` is 2 hours, the number of bucketed hours is either three hours or one hour.\n\n## Samples\n\nSimple five-minute averaging:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY five_min\nORDER BY five_min DESC LIMIT 10;\n```\n\nTo report the middle of the bucket, instead of the left edge:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) + '2.5 minutes'\n AS five_min, avg(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY five_min\nORDER BY five_min DESC LIMIT 10;\n```\n\nFor rounding, move the alignment so that the middle of the bucket is at the\nfive-minute mark, and report the middle of the bucket:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time, '-2.5 minutes'::INTERVAL) + '2.5 minutes'\n AS five_min, avg(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY five_min\nORDER BY five_min DESC LIMIT 10;\n```\n\nIn this example, add the explicit cast to ensure that Postgres chooses the\ncorrect function.\n\nTo shift the alignment of the buckets, you can use the origin parameter passed as\na timestamp, timestamptz, or date type. This example shifts the start of the\nweek to a Sunday, instead of the default of Monday:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 week', timetz, TIMESTAMPTZ '2017-12-31')\n AS one_week, avg(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY one_week\nWHERE time > TIMESTAMPTZ '2017-12-01' AND time < TIMESTAMPTZ '2018-01-03'\nORDER BY one_week DESC LIMIT 10;\n```\n\nThe value of the origin parameter in this example is `2017-12-31`, a Sunday\nwithin the period being analyzed. However, the origin provided to the function\ncan be before, during, or after the data being analyzed. All buckets are\ncalculated relative to this origin. So, in this example, any Sunday could have\nbeen used. Note that because `time < TIMESTAMPTZ '2018-01-03'` is used in this\nexample, the last bucket would have only 4 days of data. This cast to TIMESTAMP\nconverts the time to local time according to the server's time zone setting.\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket(INTERVAL '2 hours', timetz::TIMESTAMP)\n AS five_min, avg(cpu)\nFROM metrics\nGROUP BY five_min\nORDER BY five_min DESC LIMIT 10;\n```\n\nBucket temperature values to calculate the average monthly temperature. Set the\ntime zone to 'Europe/Berlin' so bucket start and end times are aligned to\nmidnight in Berlin.\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 month', ts, 'Europe/Berlin') AS month_bucket,\n avg(temperature) AS avg_temp\nFROM weather\nGROUP BY month_bucket\nORDER BY month_bucket DESC LIMIT 10;\n```\n\n## Required arguments for interval time inputs\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`bucket_width`|INTERVAL|A Postgres time interval for how long each bucket is|\n|`ts`|DATE, TIMESTAMP, or TIMESTAMPTZ|The timestamp to bucket|\n\nIf you use months as an interval for `bucket_width`, you cannot combine it with\na non-month component. For example, `1 month` and `3 months` are both valid\nbucket widths, but `1 month 1 day` and `3 months 2 weeks` are not.\n\n## Optional arguments for interval time inputs\n\n|Name|Type| Description |\n|-|-|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|`timezone`|TEXT| The time zone for calculating bucket start and end times.

It introduced some new capabilities,\nsuch as monthly buckets and timezone support. Those features are now part of the\nregular `time_bucket()` function.\n\nThis section describes a feature that is deprecated. We strongly\nrecommend that you do not use this feature in a production environment. If you\nneed more information, [contact us](https://www.tigerdata.com/contact/).\n\n\nThe `time_bucket()` and `time_bucket_ng()` functions are similar, but not\ncompletely compatible. There are two main differences.\n\nFirstly, `time_bucket_ng()` doesn't work with timestamps prior to `origin`,\nwhile `time_bucket()` does.\n\nSecondly, the default `origin` values differ. `time_bucket()` uses an origin\ndate of January 3, 2000, for buckets shorter than a month. `time_bucket_ng()`\nuses an origin date of January 1, 2000, for all bucket sizes.\n\n\n### Samples\n\nIn this example, `time_bucket_ng()` is used to create bucket data in three month\nintervals:\n\n```sql\nSELECT timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('3 month', date '2021-08-01');\n time_bucket_ng\n----------------\n 2021-07-01\n(1 row)\n```\n\nThis example uses `time_bucket_ng()` to bucket data in one year intervals:\n\n```sql\nSELECT timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('1 year', date '2021-08-01');\n time_bucket_ng\n----------------\n 2021-01-01\n(1 row)\n```\n\nTo split time into buckets, `time_bucket_ng()` uses a starting point in time\ncalled `origin`. The default origin is `2000-01-01`. `time_bucket_ng` cannot use\ntimestamps earlier than `origin`:\n\n```sql\nSELECT timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('100 years', timestamp '1988-05-08');\nERROR: origin must be before the given date\n```\n\nGoing back in time from `origin` isn't usually possible, especially when you\nconsider timezones and daylight savings time (DST). Note also that there is no\nreasonable way to split time in variable-sized buckets (such as months) from an\narbitrary `origin`, so `origin` defaults to the first day of the month.\n\nTo bypass named limitations, you can override the default `origin`:\n\n```sql\n-- working with timestamps before 2000-01-01\nSELECT timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('100 years', timestamp '1988-05-08', origin => '1900-01-01');\n time_bucket_ng\n---------------------\n 1900-01-01 00:00:00\n\n-- unlike the default origin, which is Saturday, 2000-01-03 is Monday\nSELECT timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('1 week', timestamp '2021-08-26', origin => '2000-01-03');\n time_bucket_ng\n---------------------\n 2021-08-23 00:00:00\n```\n\nThis example shows how `time_bucket_ng()` is used to bucket data\nby months in a specified timezone:\n\n```sql\n-- note that timestamptz is displayed differently depending on the session parameters\nSET TIME ZONE 'Europe/Moscow';\nSET\n\nSELECT timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('1 month', timestamptz '2001-02-03 12:34:56 MSK', timezone => 'Europe/Moscow');\n time_bucket_ng\n------------------------\n 2001-02-01 00:00:00+03\n```\n\nYou can use `time_bucket_ng()` with continuous aggregates. This example tracks\nthe temperature in Moscow over seven day intervals:\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions(\n day DATE NOT NULL,\n city text NOT NULL,\n temperature INT NOT NULL);\n\nSELECT create_hypertable(\n 'conditions', by_range('day', INTERVAL '1 day')\n);\n\nINSERT INTO conditions (day, city, temperature) VALUES\n ('2021-06-14', 'Moscow', 26),\n ('2021-06-15', 'Moscow', 22),\n ('2021-06-16', 'Moscow', 24),\n ('2021-06-17', 'Moscow', 24),\n ('2021-06-18', 'Moscow', 27),\n ('2021-06-19', 'Moscow', 28),\n ('2021-06-20', 'Moscow', 30),\n ('2021-06-21', 'Moscow', 31),\n ('2021-06-22', 'Moscow', 34),\n ('2021-06-23', 'Moscow', 34),\n ('2021-06-24', 'Moscow', 34),\n ('2021-06-25', 'Moscow', 32),\n ('2021-06-26', 'Moscow', 32),\n ('2021-06-27', 'Moscow', 31);\n\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_summary_weekly\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\nSELECT city,\n timescaledb_experimental.time_bucket_ng('7 days', day) AS bucket,\n MIN(temperature),\n MAX(temperature)\nFROM conditions\nGROUP BY city, bucket;\n\nSELECT to_char(bucket, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), city, min, max\nFROM conditions_summary_weekly\nORDER BY bucket;\n\n to_char | city | min | max\n------------+--------+-----+-----\n 2021-06-12 | Moscow | 22 | 27\n 2021-06-19 | Moscow | 28 | 34\n 2021-06-26 | Moscow | 31 | 32\n(3 rows)\n```\n\n\nThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB\n2.13. For simpler cases, like this one, you can also create the\nhypertable using the old syntax:\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('', '    \n\n1. **Add the TimescaleDB repository**\n\n \n\n\n\n ```bash\n sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/timescale_timescaledb.repo <\n\n1. **Update your local repository list**\n\n ```bash\n sudo yum update\n ```\n\n1. **Install TimescaleDB**\n\n To avoid errors, **do not** install TimescaleDB Apache 2 Edition and TimescaleDB Community Edition at the same time.\n\n ```bash\n sudo yum install timescaledb-2-postgresql-17 postgresql17\n ```\n\n \n\n \n\n On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and later, disable the built-in Postgres module:\n\n `sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql`\n\n\n \n\n 1. **Initialize the Postgres instance**\n\n ```bash\n sudo /usr/pgsql-17/bin/postgresql-17-setup initdb\n ```\n\n1. **Tune your Postgres instance for TimescaleDB**\n\n ```bash\n sudo timescaledb-tune --pg-config=/usr/pgsql-17/bin/pg_config\n ```\n\n This script is included with the `timescaledb-tools` package when you install TimescaleDB.\n For more information, see [configuration][config].\n\n1. **Enable and start Postgres**\n\n ```bash\n sudo systemctl enable postgresql-17\n sudo systemctl start postgresql-17\n ```\n\n1. **Log in to Postgres as `postgres`**\n\n ```bash\n sudo -u postgres psql\n ```\n You are now in the psql shell.\n\n1. **Set the password for `postgres`**\n\n ```bash\n \\password postgres\n ```\n\n When you have set the password, type `\\q` to exit psql.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_sunsetted_2_14_0/ =====\n\nSunsetted since TimescaleDB v2.14.0\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_real-time-aggregates/ =====\n\nIn TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default.

    \n Use a one-step policy definition to set a {props.policyType} policy on a\n continuous aggregate\n

    \n\nIn TimescaleDB 2.8 and above, policy management on continuous aggregates is\nsimplified. You can add, change, or remove the refresh, compression, and data\nretention policies on a continuous aggregate using a one-step API. For more\ninformation, see the APIs for [adding policies][add-policies], [altering\npolicies][alter-policies], and [removing policies][remove-policies]. Note that\nthis feature is experimental.\n\nExperimental features could have bugs. They might not be backwards compatible,\nand could be removed in future releases. Use these features at your own risk, and\ndo not use any experimental features in production.\n\n\n\n When you change policies with this API, the changes apply to the continuous\n aggregate, not to the original hypertable. For example, if you use this API to\n set a retention policy of 20 days, chunks older than 20 days are dropped from\n the continuous aggregate. The retention policy of the original hypertable\n remains unchanged.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_start-coding-golang/ =====\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n- Install [Go][golang-install].\n- Install the [PGX driver for Go][pgx-driver-github].\n\n## Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\nIn this section, you create a connection to Tiger Cloud using the PGX driver.\nPGX is a toolkit designed to help Go developers work directly with Postgres.\nYou can use it to help your Go application interact directly with TimescaleDB.\n\n1. Locate your TimescaleDB credentials and use them to compose a connection\n string for PGX.\n\n You'll need:\n\n * password\n * username\n * host URL\n * port number\n * database name\n\n1. Compose your connection string variable as a\n [libpq connection string][libpq-docs], using this format:\n\n ```go\n connStr := \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n ```\n\n If you're using a hosted version of TimescaleDB, or if you need an SSL\n connection, use this format instead:\n\n ```go\n connStr := \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. [](#)You can check that you're connected to your database with this\n hello world program:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5\"\n )\n\n //connect to database using a single connection\n func main() {\n /***********************************************/\n /* Single Connection to TimescaleDB/ PostgreSQL */\n /***********************************************/\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer conn.Close(ctx)\n\n //run a simple query to check our connection\n var greeting string\n err = conn.QueryRow(ctx, \"select 'Hello, Timescale!'\").Scan(&greeting)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"QueryRow failed: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(greeting)\n }\n\n ```\n\n If you'd like to specify your connection string as an environment variable,\n you can use this syntax to access it in place of the `connStr` variable:\n\n ```go\n os.Getenv(\"DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING\")\n ```\n\nAlternatively, you can connect to TimescaleDB using a connection pool.\nConnection pooling is useful to conserve computing resources, and can also\nresult in faster database queries:\n\n1. To create a connection pool that can be used for concurrent connections to\n your database, use the `pgxpool.New()` function instead of\n `pgx.Connect()`. Also note that this script imports\n `github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool`, instead of `pgx/v5` which was used to\n create a single connection:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n //run a simple query to check our connection\n var greeting string\n err = dbpool.QueryRow(ctx, \"select 'Hello, Tiger Data (but concurrently)'\").Scan(&greeting)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"QueryRow failed: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(greeting)\n }\n ```\n\n## Create a relational table\n\nIn this section, you create a table called `sensors` which holds the ID, type,\nand location of your fictional sensors. Additionally, you create a hypertable\ncalled `sensor_data` which holds the measurements of those sensors. The\nmeasurements contain the time, sensor_id, temperature reading, and CPU\npercentage of the sensors.\n\n1. Compose a string that contains the SQL statement to create a relational\n table. This example creates a table called `sensors`, with columns for ID,\n type, and location:\n\n ```go\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensors (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, type VARCHAR(50), location VARCHAR(50));`\n ```\n\n1. Execute the `CREATE TABLE` statement with the `Exec()` function on the\n `dbpool` object, using the arguments of the current context and the\n statement string you created:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Create relational table */\n /********************************************/\n\n //Create relational table called sensors\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensors (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, type VARCHAR(50), location VARCHAR(50));`\n _, err = dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryCreateTable)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to create SENSORS table: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully created relational table SENSORS\")\n }\n ```\n\n## Generate a hypertable\n\nWhen you have created the relational table, you can create a hypertable.\nCreating tables and indexes, altering tables, inserting data, selecting data,\nand most other tasks are executed on the hypertable.\n\n1. Create a variable for the `CREATE TABLE SQL` statement for your hypertable.\n Notice how the hypertable has the compulsory time column:\n\n ```go\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id));\n `\n ```\n\n1. Formulate the `SELECT` statement to convert the table into a hypertable. You\n must specify the table name to convert to a hypertable, and its time column\n name as the second argument. For more information, see the\n [`create_hypertable` docs][create-hypertable-docs]:\n\n ```go\n queryCreateHypertable := `SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));`\n ```\n\n\n\n\tThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\n1. Execute the `CREATE TABLE` statement and `SELECT` statement which converts\n the table into a hypertable. You can do this by calling the `Exec()`\n function on the `dbpool` object, using the arguments of the current context,\n and the `queryCreateTable` and `queryCreateHypertable` statement strings:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Create Hypertable */\n /********************************************/\n // Create hypertable of time-series data called sensor_data\n queryCreateTable := `CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id));\n `\n\n queryCreateHypertable := `SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));`\n\n //execute statement\n _, err = dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryCreateTable+queryCreateHypertable)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to create the `sensor_data` hypertable: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully created hypertable `sensor_data`\")\n }\n ```\n\n## Insert rows of data\n\nYou can insert rows into your database in a couple of different\nways. Each of these example inserts the data from the two arrays, `sensorTypes` and\n`sensorLocations`, into the relational table named `sensors`.\n\nThe first example inserts a single row of data at a time. The second example\ninserts multiple rows of data. The third example uses batch inserts to speed up\nthe process.\n\n1. Open a connection pool to the database, then use the prepared statements to\n formulate an `INSERT` SQL statement, and execute it:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* INSERT into relational table */\n /********************************************/\n //Insert data into relational table\n\n // Slices of sample data to insert\n // observation i has type sensorTypes[i] and location sensorLocations[i]\n sensorTypes := []string{\"a\", \"a\", \"b\", \"b\"}\n sensorLocations := []string{\"floor\", \"ceiling\", \"floor\", \"ceiling\"}\n\n for i := range sensorTypes {\n //INSERT statement in SQL\n queryInsertMetadata := `INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES ($1, $2);`\n\n //Execute INSERT command\n _, err := dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryInsertMetadata, sensorTypes[i], sensorLocations[i])\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to insert data into database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Printf(\"Inserted sensor (%s, %s) into database \\n\", sensorTypes[i], sensorLocations[i])\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully inserted all sensors into database\")\n }\n ```\n\nInstead of inserting a single row of data at a time, you can use this procedure\nto insert multiple rows of data, instead:\n\n1. This example uses Postgres to generate some sample time-series to insert\n into the `sensor_data` hypertable. Define the SQL statement to generate the\n data, called `queryDataGeneration`. Then use the `.Query()` function to\n execute the statement and return the sample data. The data returned by the\n query is stored in `results`, a slice of structs, which is then used as a\n source to insert data into the hypertable:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n // Generate data to insert\n\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryDataGeneration := `\n SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n floor(random() * (3) + 1)::int as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu\n `\n //Execute query to generate samples for sensor_data hypertable\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryDataGeneration)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to generate sensor data: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully generated sensor data\")\n\n //Store data generated in slice results\n type result struct {\n Time time.Time\n SensorId int\n Temperature float64\n CPU float64\n }\n\n var results []result\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Time, &r.SensorId, &r.Temperature, &r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n }\n\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // Check contents of results slice\n fmt.Println(\"Contents of RESULTS slice\")\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n fmt.Printf(\"Time: %s | ID: %d | Temperature: %f | CPU: %f |\\n\", &r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }\n }\n ```\n\n1. Formulate an SQL insert statement for the `sensor_data` hypertable:\n\n ```go\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryInsertTimeseriesData := `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, temperature, cpu) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);\n `\n ```\n\n1. Execute the SQL statement for each sample in the results slice:\n\n ```go\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n _, err := dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryInsertTimeseriesData, r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to insert sample into TimescaleDB %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully inserted samples into sensor_data hypertable\")\n ```\n\n1. [](#)This example `main.go` generates sample data and inserts it into\n the `sensor_data` hypertable:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n /********************************************/\n /* Connect using Connection Pool */\n /********************************************/\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Insert data into hypertable */\n /********************************************/\n // Generate data to insert\n\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryDataGeneration := `\n SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n floor(random() * (3) + 1)::int as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu\n `\n //Execute query to generate samples for sensor_data hypertable\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryDataGeneration)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to generate sensor data: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully generated sensor data\")\n\n //Store data generated in slice results\n type result struct {\n Time time.Time\n SensorId int\n Temperature float64\n CPU float64\n }\n var results []result\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Time, &r.SensorId, &r.Temperature, &r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n }\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // Check contents of results slice\n fmt.Println(\"Contents of RESULTS slice\")\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n fmt.Printf(\"Time: %s | ID: %d | Temperature: %f | CPU: %f |\\n\", &r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }\n\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryInsertTimeseriesData := `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, temperature, cpu) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);\n `\n\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n _, err := dbpool.Exec(ctx, queryInsertTimeseriesData, r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to insert sample into TimescaleDB %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully inserted samples into sensor_data hypertable\")\n }\n ```\n\nInserting multiple rows of data using this method executes as many `insert`\nstatements as there are samples to be inserted. This can make ingestion of data\nslow. To speed up ingestion, you can batch insert data instead.\n\nHere's a sample pattern for how to do so, using the sample data you generated in\nthe previous procedure. It uses the pgx `Batch` object:\n\n1. This example batch inserts data into the database:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5\"\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n /********************************************/\n /* Connect using Connection Pool */\n /********************************************/\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n // Generate data to insert\n\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryDataGeneration := `\n SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n floor(random() * (3) + 1)::int as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu\n `\n\n //Execute query to generate samples for sensor_data hypertable\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryDataGeneration)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to generate sensor data: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully generated sensor data\")\n\n //Store data generated in slice results\n type result struct {\n Time time.Time\n SensorId int\n Temperature float64\n CPU float64\n }\n var results []result\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Time, &r.SensorId, &r.Temperature, &r.CPU)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n }\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // Check contents of results slice\n /*fmt.Println(\"Contents of RESULTS slice\")\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n fmt.Printf(\"Time: %s | ID: %d | Temperature: %f | CPU: %f |\\n\", &r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }*/\n\n //Insert contents of results slice into TimescaleDB\n //SQL query to generate sample data\n queryInsertTimeseriesData := `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, temperature, cpu) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);\n `\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Batch Insert into TimescaleDB */\n /********************************************/\n //create batch\n batch := &pgx.Batch{}\n //load insert statements into batch queue\n for i := range results {\n var r result\n r = results[i]\n batch.Queue(queryInsertTimeseriesData, r.Time, r.SensorId, r.Temperature, r.CPU)\n }\n batch.Queue(\"select count(*) from sensor_data\")\n\n //send batch to connection pool\n br := dbpool.SendBatch(ctx, batch)\n //execute statements in batch queue\n _, err = br.Exec()\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to execute statement in batch queue %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully batch inserted data\")\n\n //Compare length of results slice to size of table\n fmt.Printf(\"size of results: %d\\n\", len(results))\n //check size of table for number of rows inserted\n // result of last SELECT statement\n var rowsInserted int\n err = br.QueryRow().Scan(&rowsInserted)\n fmt.Printf(\"size of table: %d\\n\", rowsInserted)\n\n err = br.Close()\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to closer batch %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Execute a query\n\nThis section covers how to execute queries against your database.\n\n1. Define the SQL query you'd like to run on the database. This example uses a\n SQL query that combines time-series and relational data. It returns the\n average CPU values for every 5 minute interval, for sensors located on\n location `ceiling` and of type `a`:\n\n ```go\n // Formulate query in SQL\n // Note the use of prepared statement placeholders $1 and $2\n queryTimebucketFiveMin := `\n SELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.location = $1 AND sensors.type = $2\n GROUP BY five_min\n ORDER BY five_min DESC;\n `\n ```\n\n1. Use the `.Query()` function to execute the query string. Make sure you\n specify the relevant placeholders:\n\n ```go\n //Execute query on TimescaleDB\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryTimebucketFiveMin, \"ceiling\", \"a\")\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to execute query %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully executed query\")\n ```\n\n1. Access the rows returned by `.Query()`. Create a struct with fields\n representing the columns that you expect to be returned, then use the\n `rows.Next()` function to iterate through the rows returned and fill\n `results` with the array of structs. This uses the `rows.Scan()` function,\n passing in pointers to the fields that you want to scan for results.\n\n This example prints out the results returned from the query, but you might\n want to use those results for some other purpose. Once you've scanned\n through all the rows returned you can then use the results array however you\n like.\n\n ```go\n //Do something with the results of query\n // Struct for results\n type result2 struct {\n Bucket time.Time\n Avg float64\n }\n\n // Print rows returned and fill up results slice for later use\n var results []result2\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result2\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Bucket, &r.Avg)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n fmt.Printf(\"Time bucket: %s | Avg: %f\\n\", &r.Bucket, r.Avg)\n }\n\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n\n // use results here…\n ```\n\n1. [](#)This example program runs a query, and accesses the results of\n that query:\n\n ```go\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"os\"\n \"time\"\n\n \"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n connStr := \"yourConnectionStringHere\"\n dbpool, err := pgxpool.New(ctx, connStr)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to connect to database: %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer dbpool.Close()\n\n /********************************************/\n /* Execute a query */\n /********************************************/\n\n // Formulate query in SQL\n // Note the use of prepared statement placeholders $1 and $2\n queryTimebucketFiveMin := `\n SELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.location = $1 AND sensors.type = $2\n GROUP BY five_min\n ORDER BY five_min DESC;\n `\n\n //Execute query on TimescaleDB\n rows, err := dbpool.Query(ctx, queryTimebucketFiveMin, \"ceiling\", \"a\")\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to execute query %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n defer rows.Close()\n\n fmt.Println(\"Successfully executed query\")\n\n //Do something with the results of query\n // Struct for results\n type result2 struct {\n Bucket time.Time\n Avg float64\n }\n\n // Print rows returned and fill up results slice for later use\n var results []result2\n for rows.Next() {\n var r result2\n err = rows.Scan(&r.Bucket, &r.Avg)\n if err != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"Unable to scan %v\\n\", err)\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n results = append(results, r)\n fmt.Printf(\"Time bucket: %s | Avg: %f\\n\", &r.Bucket, r.Avg)\n }\n // Any errors encountered by rows.Next or rows.Scan are returned here\n if rows.Err() != nil {\n fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, \"rows Error: %v\\n\", rows.Err())\n os.Exit(1)\n }\n }\n ```\n\n## Next steps\n\nNow that you're able to connect, read, and write to a TimescaleDB instance from\nyour Go application, be sure to check out these advanced TimescaleDB tutorials:\n\n* Refer to the [pgx documentation][pgx-docs] for more information about pgx.\n* Get up and running with TimescaleDB with the [Getting Started][getting-started]\n tutorial.\n* Want fast inserts on CSV data? Check out\n [TimescaleDB parallel copy][parallel-copy-tool], a tool for fast inserts,\n written in Go.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_start-coding-python/ =====\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Install the `psycopg2` library.\n\n For more information, see the [psycopg2 documentation][psycopg2-docs].\n* Create a [Python virtual environment][virtual-env]. [](#)\n\n## Connect to TimescaleDB\n\nIn this section, you create a connection to TimescaleDB using the `psycopg2`\nlibrary. This library is one of the most popular Postgres libraries for\nPython. It allows you to execute raw SQL queries efficiently and safely, and\nprevents common attacks such as SQL injection.\n\n1. Import the psycogpg2 library:\n\n ```python\n import psycopg2\n ```\n\n1. Locate your TimescaleDB credentials and use them to compose a connection\n string for `psycopg2`.\n\n You'll need:\n\n * password\n * username\n * host URL\n * port\n * database name\n\n1. Compose your connection string variable as a\n [libpq connection string][pg-libpq-string], using this format:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n ```\n\n If you're using a hosted version of TimescaleDB, or generally require an SSL\n connection, use this version instead:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n Alternatively you can specify each parameter in the connection string as follows\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"dbname=tsdb user=tsdbadmin password=secret host=host.com port=5432 sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n\n\n This method of composing a connection string is for test or development\n purposes only. For production, use environment variables for sensitive\n details like your password, hostname, and port number.\n\n\n\n1. Use the `psycopg2` [connect function][psycopg2-connect] to create a new\n database session and create a new [cursor object][psycopg2-cursor] to\n interact with the database.\n\n In your `main` function, add these lines:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n with psycopg2.connect(CONNECTION) as conn:\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n # use the cursor to interact with your database\n # cursor.execute(\"SELECT * FROM table\")\n ```\n\n Alternatively, you can create a connection object and pass the object\n around as needed, like opening a cursor to perform database operations:\n\n ```python\n CONNECTION = \"postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname\"\n conn = psycopg2.connect(CONNECTION)\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n # use the cursor to interact with your database\n cursor.execute(\"SELECT 'hello world'\")\n print(cursor.fetchone())\n ```\n\n## Create a relational table\n\nIn this section, you create a table called `sensors` which holds the ID, type,\nand location of your fictional sensors. Additionally, you create a hypertable\ncalled `sensor_data` which holds the measurements of those sensors. The\nmeasurements contain the time, sensor_id, temperature reading, and CPU\npercentage of the sensors.\n\n1. Compose a string which contains the SQL statement to create a relational\n table. This example creates a table called `sensors`, with columns `id`,\n `type` and `location`:\n\n ```python\n query_create_sensors_table = \"\"\"CREATE TABLE sensors (\n id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,\n type VARCHAR(50),\n location VARCHAR(50)\n );\n \"\"\"\n ```\n\n1. Open a cursor, execute the query you created in the previous step, and\n commit the query to make the changes persistent. Afterward, close the cursor\n to clean up:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n # see definition in Step 1\n cursor.execute(query_create_sensors_table)\n conn.commit()\n cursor.close()\n ```\n\n## Create a hypertable\n\nWhen you have created the relational table, you can create a hypertable.\nCreating tables and indexes, altering tables, inserting data, selecting data,\nand most other tasks are executed on the hypertable.\n\n1. Create a string variable that contains the `CREATE TABLE` SQL statement for\n your hypertable. Notice how the hypertable has the compulsory time column:\n\n ```python\n # create sensor data hypertable\n query_create_sensordata_table = \"\"\"CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id INTEGER,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION,\n cpu DOUBLE PRECISION,\n FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors (id)\n );\n \"\"\"\n ```\n\n2. Formulate a `SELECT` statement that converts the `sensor_data` table to a\n hypertable. You must specify the table name to convert to a hypertable, and\n the name of the time column as the two arguments. For more information, see\n the [`create_hypertable` docs][create-hypertable-docs]:\n\n ```python\n query_create_sensordata_hypertable = \"SELECT create_hypertable('sensor_data', by_range('time'));\"\n ```\n\n\n\n\tThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\n3. Open a cursor with the connection, execute the statements from the previous\n steps, commit your changes, and close the cursor:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n cursor.execute(query_create_sensordata_table)\n cursor.execute(query_create_sensordata_hypertable)\n # commit changes to the database to make changes persistent\n conn.commit()\n cursor.close()\n ```\n\n## Insert rows of data\n\nYou can insert data into your hypertables in several different ways. In this\nsection, you can use `psycopg2` with prepared statements, or you can use\n`pgcopy` for a faster insert.\n\n1. This example inserts a list of tuples, or relational data, called `sensors`,\n into the relational table named `sensors`. Open a cursor with a connection\n to the database, use prepared statements to formulate the `INSERT` SQL\n statement, and then execute that statement:\n\n ```python\n sensors = [('a', 'floor'), ('a', 'ceiling'), ('b', 'floor'), ('b', 'ceiling')]\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n for sensor in sensors:\n try:\n cursor.execute(\"INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES (%s, %s);\",\n (sensor[0], sensor[1]))\n except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error:\n print(error.pgerror)\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)Alternatively, you can pass variables to the `cursor.execute`\n function and separate the formulation of the SQL statement, `SQL`, from the\n data being passed with it into the prepared statement, `data`:\n\n ```python\n SQL = \"INSERT INTO sensors (type, location) VALUES (%s, %s);\"\n sensors = [('a', 'floor'), ('a', 'ceiling'), ('b', 'floor'), ('b', 'ceiling')]\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n for sensor in sensors:\n try:\n data = (sensor[0], sensor[1])\n cursor.execute(SQL, data)\n except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error:\n print(error.pgerror)\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\nIf you choose to use `pgcopy` instead, install the `pgcopy` package\n[using pip][pgcopy-install], and then add this line to your list of\n`import` statements:\n\n```python\nfrom pgcopy import CopyManager\n```\n\n1. Generate some random sensor data using the `generate_series` function\n provided by Postgres. This example inserts a total of 480 rows of data (4\n readings, every 5 minutes, for 24 hours). In your application, this would be\n the query that saves your time-series data into the hypertable:\n\n ```python\n # for sensors with ids 1-4\n for id in range(1, 4, 1):\n data = (id,)\n # create random data\n simulate_query = \"\"\"SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n %s as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu;\n \"\"\"\n cursor.execute(simulate_query, data)\n values = cursor.fetchall()\n ```\n\n1. Define the column names of the table you want to insert data into. This\n example uses the `sensor_data` hypertable created earlier. This hypertable\n consists of columns named `time`, `sensor_id`, `temperature` and `cpu`. The\n column names are defined in a list of strings called `cols`:\n\n ```python\n cols = ['time', 'sensor_id', 'temperature', 'cpu']\n ```\n\n1. Create an instance of the `pgcopy` CopyManager, `mgr`, and pass the\n connection variable, hypertable name, and list of column names. Then use the\n `copy` function of the CopyManager to insert the data into the database\n quickly using `pgcopy`.\n\n ```python\n mgr = CopyManager(conn, 'sensor_data', cols)\n mgr.copy(values)\n ```\n\n1. Commit to persist changes:\n\n ```python\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)The full sample code to insert data into TimescaleDB using\n `pgcopy`, using the example of sensor data from four sensors:\n\n ```python\n # insert using pgcopy\n def fast_insert(conn):\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n\n # for sensors with ids 1-4\n for id in range(1, 4, 1):\n data = (id,)\n # create random data\n simulate_query = \"\"\"SELECT generate_series(now() - interval '24 hour', now(), interval '5 minute') AS time,\n %s as sensor_id,\n random()*100 AS temperature,\n random() AS cpu;\n \"\"\"\n cursor.execute(simulate_query, data)\n values = cursor.fetchall()\n\n # column names of the table you're inserting into\n cols = ['time', 'sensor_id', 'temperature', 'cpu']\n\n # create copy manager with the target table and insert\n mgr = CopyManager(conn, 'sensor_data', cols)\n mgr.copy(values)\n\n # commit after all sensor data is inserted\n # could also commit after each sensor insert is done\n conn.commit()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)You can also check if the insertion worked:\n\n ```python\n cursor.execute(\"SELECT * FROM sensor_data LIMIT 5;\")\n print(cursor.fetchall())\n ```\n\n## Execute a query\n\nThis section covers how to execute queries against your database.\n\nThe first procedure shows a simple `SELECT *` query. For more complex queries,\nyou can use prepared statements to ensure queries are executed safely against\nthe database.\n\nFor more information about properly using placeholders in `psycopg2`, see the\n[basic module usage document][psycopg2-docs-basics].\nFor more information about how to execute more complex queries in `psycopg2`,\nsee the [psycopg2 documentation][psycopg2-docs-basics].\n\n### Execute a query\n\n1. Define the SQL query you'd like to run on the database. This example is a\n simple `SELECT` statement querying each row from the previously created\n `sensor_data` table.\n\n ```python\n query = \"SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\"\n ```\n\n1. Open a cursor from the existing database connection, `conn`, and then execute\n the query you defined:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n query = \"SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\"\n cursor.execute(query)\n ```\n\n1. To access all resulting rows returned by your query, use one of `pyscopg2`'s\n [results retrieval methods][results-retrieval-methods],\n such as `fetchall()` or `fetchmany()`. This example prints the results of\n the query, row by row. Note that the result of `fetchall()` is a list of\n tuples, so you can handle them accordingly:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n query = \"SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\"\n cursor.execute(query)\n for row in cursor.fetchall():\n print(row)\n cursor.close()\n ```\n\n1. [](#)If you want a list of dictionaries instead, you can define the\n cursor using [`DictCursor`][dictcursor-docs]:\n\n ```python\n cursor = conn.cursor(cursor_factory=psycopg2.extras.DictCursor)\n ```\n\n Using this cursor, `cursor.fetchall()` returns a list of dictionary-like objects.\n\nFor more complex queries, you can use prepared statements to ensure queries are\nexecuted safely against the database.\n\n### Execute queries using prepared statements\n\n1. Write the query using prepared statements:\n\n ```python\n # query with placeholders\n cursor = conn.cursor()\n query = \"\"\"\n SELECT time_bucket('5 minutes', time) AS five_min, avg(cpu)\n FROM sensor_data\n JOIN sensors ON sensors.id = sensor_data.sensor_id\n WHERE sensors.location = %s AND sensors.type = %s\n GROUP BY five_min\n ORDER BY five_min DESC;\n \"\"\"\n location = \"floor\"\n sensor_type = \"a\"\n data = (location, sensor_type)\n cursor.execute(query, data)\n results = cursor.fetchall()\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_pg_dump_do_not_recommend_for_large_migration/ =====\n\nIf you want to migrate more than 400GB of data, create a [Tiger Cloud Console support request](https://console.cloud.timescale.com/dashboard/support), or\nsend us an email at [support@tigerdata.com](mailto:support@tigerdata.com) saying how much data you want to migrate. We pre-provision\nyour Tiger Cloud service for you.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_livesync-console/ =====\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with real-time analytics enabled.\n\n You need your [connection details][connection-info].\n\n- Install the [Postgres client tools][install-psql] on your sync machine.\n\n- Ensure that the source Postgres instance and the target Tiger Cloud service have the same extensions installed.\n\n The source Postgres connector does not create extensions on the target. If the table uses column types from an extension,\n first create the extension on the target Tiger Cloud service before syncing the table.\n\n## Limitations\n\n* The source Postgres instance must be accessible from the Internet.\n\n Services hosted behind a firewall or VPC are not supported. This functionality is on the roadmap.\n\n* Indexes, including the primary key and unique constraints, are not migrated to the target Tiger Cloud service.\n\n We recommend that, depending on your query patterns, you create only the necessary indexes on the target Tiger Cloud service.\n\n* This works for Postgres databases only as source. TimescaleDB is not yet supported.\n\n* The source must be running Postgres 13 or later.\n\n* Schema changes must be co-ordinated.\n\n Make compatible changes to the schema in your Tiger Cloud service first, then make\n the same changes to the source Postgres instance.\n\n* Ensure that the source Postgres instance and the target Tiger Cloud service have the same extensions installed.\n\n The source Postgres connector does not create extensions on the target. If the table uses\n column types from an extension, first create the extension on the\n target Tiger Cloud service before syncing the table.\n\n* There is WAL volume growth on the source Postgres instance during large table copy.\n\n* Continuous aggregate invalidation\n\n The connector uses `session_replication_role=replica` during data replication,\n which prevents table triggers from firing. This includes the internal\n triggers that mark continuous aggregates as invalid when underlying data\n changes.\n\n If you have continuous aggregates on your target database, they do not\n automatically refresh for data inserted during the migration. This limitation\n only applies to data below the continuous aggregate's materialization\n watermark. For example, backfilled data. New rows synced above the continuous\n aggregate watermark are used correctly when refreshing.\n\n This can lead to:\n\n - Missing data in continuous aggregates for the migration period.\n - Stale aggregate data.\n - Queries returning incomplete results.\n\n If the continuous aggregate exists in the source database, best\n practice is to add it to the Postgres connector publication. If it only exists on the\n target database, manually refresh the continuous aggregate using the `force`\n option of [refresh_continuous_aggregate][refresh-caggs].\n\n## Set your connection string\n\nThis variable holds the connection information for the source database. In the terminal on your migration machine,\nset the following:\n\n```bash\nexport SOURCE=\"postgres://:@:/\"\n```\n\n\n\nAvoid using connection strings that route through connection poolers like PgBouncer or similar tools. This tool\nrequires a direct connection to the database to function properly.\n\n\n\n## Tune your source database\n\n\n\n\n\nUpdating parameters on a Postgres instance will cause an outage. Choose a time that will cause the least issues to tune this database.\n\n1. **Tune the Write Ahead Log (WAL) on the RDS/Aurora Postgres source database**\n\n 1. In [https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/home#databases:][databases],\n select the RDS instance to migrate.\n\n 1. Click `Configuration`, scroll down and note the `DB instance parameter group`, then click `Parameter Groups`\n\n \"Create\n\n 1. Click `Create parameter group`, fill in the form with the following values, then click `Create`.\n - **Parameter group name** - whatever suits your fancy.\n - **Description** - knock yourself out with this one.\n - **Engine type** - `PostgreSQL`\n - **Parameter group family** - the same as `DB instance parameter group` in your `Configuration`.\n 1. In `Parameter groups`, select the parameter group you created, then click `Edit`.\n 1. Update the following parameters, then click `Save changes`.\n - `rds.logical_replication` set to `1`: record the information needed for logical decoding.\n - `wal_sender_timeout` set to `0`: disable the timeout for the sender process.\n\n 1. In RDS, navigate back to your [databases][databases], select the RDS instance to migrate, and click `Modify`.\n\n 1. Scroll down to `Database options`, select your new parameter group, and click `Continue`.\n 1. Click `Apply immediately` or choose a maintenance window, then click `Modify DB instance`.\n\n Changing parameters will cause an outage. Wait for the database instance to reboot before continuing.\n 1. Verify that the settings are live in your database.\n\n1. **Create a user for the source Postgres connector and assign permissions**\n\n 1. Create ``:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c \"CREATE USER PASSWORD ''\"\n ```\n\n You can use an existing user. However, you must ensure that the user has the following permissions.\n\n 1. Grant permissions to create a replication slot:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c \"GRANT rds_replication TO \"\n ```\n\n 1. Grant permissions to create a publication:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c \"GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE TO \"\n ```\n\n 1. Assign the user permissions on the source database:\n\n ```sql\n psql source <;\n GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA \"public\" TO ;\n ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA \"public\" GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO ;\n EOF\n ```\n\n If the tables you are syncing are not in the `public` schema, grant the user permissions for each schema you are syncing:\n ```sql\n psql source < TO ;\n GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA TO ;\n ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO ;\n EOF\n ```\n\n 1. On each table you want to sync, make `` the owner:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c 'ALTER TABLE OWNER TO ;'\n ```\n You can skip this step if the replicating user is already the owner of the tables.\n\n1. **Enable replication `DELETE` and`UPDATE` operations**\n\n Replica identity assists data replication by identifying the rows being modified. Your options are that\n each table and hypertable in the source database should either have:\n- **A primary key**: data replication defaults to the primary key of the table being replicated.\n Nothing to do.\n- **A viable unique index**: each table has a unique, non-partial, non-deferrable index that includes only columns\n marked as `NOT NULL`. If a UNIQUE index does not exist, create one to assist the migration. You can delete if after\n migration.\n\n For each table, set `REPLICA IDENTITY` to the viable unique index:\n\n ```shell\n psql -X -d source -c 'ALTER TABLE REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX <_index_name>'\n ```\n- **No primary key or viable unique index**: use brute force.\n\n For each table, set `REPLICA IDENTITY` to `FULL`:\n ```shell\n psql -X -d source -c 'ALTER TABLE {table_name} REPLICA IDENTITY FULL'\n ```\n For each `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statement, Postgres reads the whole table to find all matching rows. This results\n in significantly slower replication. If you are expecting a large number of `UPDATE` or `DELETE` operations on the table,\n best practice is to not use `FULL`.\n\n\n\n\n1. **Tune the Write Ahead Log (WAL) on the Postgres source database**\n\n ```sql\n psql source <`:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c \"CREATE USER PASSWORD ''\"\n ```\n\n You can use an existing user. However, you must ensure that the user has the following permissions.\n\n 1. Grant permissions to create a replication slot:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c \"ALTER ROLE REPLICATION\"\n ```\n\n 1. Grant permissions to create a publication:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c \"GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE TO \"\n ```\n\n 1. Assign the user permissions on the source database:\n\n ```sql\n psql source <;\n GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA \"public\" TO ;\n ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA \"public\" GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO ;\n EOF\n ```\n\n If the tables you are syncing are not in the `public` schema, grant the user permissions for each schema you are syncing:\n ```sql\n psql source < TO ;\n GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA TO ;\n ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO ;\n EOF\n ```\n\n 1. On each table you want to sync, make `` the owner:\n\n ```sql\n psql source -c 'ALTER TABLE OWNER TO ;'\n ```\n You can skip this step if the replicating user is already the owner of the tables.\n\n\n1. **Enable replication `DELETE` and`UPDATE` operations**\n\n Replica identity assists data replication by identifying the rows being modified.

This results\n in significantly slower replication. If you are expecting a large number of `UPDATE` or `DELETE` operations on the table,\n best practice is to not use `FULL`.\n\n\n\n\n## Synchronize data to your Tiger Cloud service\n\nTo sync data from your Postgres database to your Tiger Cloud service using Tiger Cloud Console:\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][portal-ops-mode], select the service to sync live data to.\n\n1. **Connect the source database and the target service**\n\n ![Postgres connector wizard](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/pg-connector-wizard-tiger-console.png)\n\n 1. Click `Connectors` > `PostgreSQL`.\n 1. Set the name for the new connector by clicking the pencil icon.\n 1. Check the boxes for `Set wal_level to logical` and `Update your credentials`, then click `Continue`.\n 1. Enter your database credentials or a Postgres connection string, then click `Connect to database`.\n This is the connection string for [``][livesync-tune-source-db]. Tiger Cloud Console connects to the source database and retrieves the schema information.\n\n1. **Optimize the data to synchronize in hypertables**\n\n ![Postgres connector start](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/pg-connector-start-tiger-console.png)\n\n 1. In the `Select table` dropdown, select the tables to sync.\n 1. Click `Select tables +` .\n\n Tiger Cloud Console checks the table schema and, if possible, suggests the column to use as the time dimension in a hypertable.\n 1. Click `Create Connector`.\n\n Tiger Cloud Console starts source Postgres connector between the source database and the target service and displays the progress.\n\n1. **Monitor synchronization**\n\n ![Tiger Cloud connectors overview](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-connector-overview.png)\n\n 1. To view the amount of data replicated, click `Connectors`. The diagram in `Connector data flow` gives you an overview of the connectors you have created, their status, and how much data has been replicated.\n\n 1. To review the syncing progress for each table, click `Connectors` > `Source connectors`, then select the name of your connector in the table.\n\n1. **Manage the connector**\n\n ![Edit a Postgres connector](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/edit-pg-connector-tiger-console.png)\n\n 1. To edit the connector, click `Connectors` > `Source connectors`, then select the name of your connector in the table. You can rename the connector, delete or add new tables for syncing.\n\n 1. To pause a connector, click `Connectors` > `Source connectors`, then open the three-dot menu on the right and select `Pause`.\n\n 1. To delete a connector, click `Connectors` > `Source connectors`, then open the three-dot menu on the right and select `Delete`. You must pause the connector before deleting it.\n\nAnd that is it, you are using the source Postgres connector to synchronize all the data, or specific tables, from a Postgres database\ninstance to your Tiger Cloud service, in real time.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_2-step-aggregation/ =====\n\nThis group of functions uses the two-step aggregation pattern.\n\nRather than calculating the final result in one step, you first create an\nintermediate aggregate by using the aggregate function.\n\nThen, use any of the accessors on the intermediate aggregate to calculate a\nfinal result. You can also roll up multiple intermediate aggregates with the\nrollup functions.\n\nThe two-step aggregation pattern has several advantages:\n\n1. More efficient because multiple accessors can reuse the same aggregate\n1. Easier to reason about performance, because aggregation is separate from\n final computation\n1. Easier to understand when calculations can be rolled up into larger\n intervals, especially in window functions and [continuous aggregates][caggs]\n1. Can perform retrospective analysis even when underlying data is dropped, because\n the intermediate aggregate stores extra information not available in the\n final result\n\nTo learn more, see the [blog post on two-step\naggregates][blog-two-step-aggregates].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_timescaledb-gucs/ =====\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Description |\n| -- | -- | -- | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `GUC_CAGG_HIGH_WORK_MEM_NAME` | `INTEGER` | `GUC_CAGG_HIGH_WORK_MEM_VALUE` | The high working memory limit for the continuous aggregate invalidation processing.

Materialized views do not update regularly, although you can manually\nrefresh them as required.\n\n\n[Continuous aggregates][about-caggs] are a TimescaleDB-only feature. They work in\na similar way to a materialized view, but they are updated automatically in the\nbackground, as new data is added to your database. Continuous aggregates are\nupdated continuously and incrementally, which means they are less resource\nintensive to maintain than materialized views. Continuous aggregates are based\non hypertables, and you can query them in the same way as you do your other\ntables.\n\n[Real-time aggregates][real-time-aggs] are a TimescaleDB-only feature. They are\nthe same as continuous aggregates, but they add the most recent raw data to the\npreviously aggregated data to provide accurate and up-to-date results, without\nneeding to aggregate data as it is being written.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_devops-rest-api-get-started/ =====\n\n[Tiger REST API][rest-api-reference] is a comprehensive RESTful API you use to manage Tiger Cloud resources\nincluding VPCs, services, and read replicas.\n\nThis page shows you how to set up secure authentication for the Tiger REST API and create your first service.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Data account][create-account].\n\n* Install [curl][curl].\n\n\n## Configure secure authentication\n\nTiger REST API uses HTTP Basic Authentication with access keys and secret keys. All API requests must include\nproper authentication headers.\n\n1. **Set up API credentials**\n\n 1. In Tiger Cloud Console [copy your project ID][get-project-id] and store it securely using an environment variable:\n\n ```bash\n export TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID=\"your-project-id\"\n ```\n\n 1. In Tiger Cloud Console [create your client credentials][create-client-credentials] and store them securely using environment variables:\n\n ```bash\n export TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY=\"Public key\"\n export TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY=\"Secret key\"\n ```\n\n1. **Configure the API endpoint**\n\n Set the base URL in your environment:\n\n ```bash\n export API_BASE_URL=\"https://console.cloud.timescale.com/public/api/v1\"\n ```\n\n1. **Test your authenticated connection to Tiger REST API by listing the services in the current Tiger Cloud project**\n\n ```bash\n curl -X GET \"${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID}/services\" \\\n -u \"${TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY}:${TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY}\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\"\n ```\n\n This call returns something like:\n - No services:\n ```terminaloutput\n []%\n ```\n - One or more services:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n [{\"service_id\":\"tgrservice\",\"project_id\":\"tgrproject\",\"name\":\"tiger-eon\",\n \"region_code\":\"us-east-1\",\"service_type\":\"TIMESCALEDB\",\n \"created\":\"2025-10-20T12:21:28.216172Z\",\"paused\":false,\"status\":\"READY\",\n \"resources\":[{\"id\":\"104977\",\"spec\":{\"cpu_millis\":500,\"memory_gbs\":2,\"volume_type\":\"\"}}],\n \"metadata\":{\"environment\":\"DEV\"},\n \"endpoint\":{\"host\":\"tgrservice.tgrproject.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com\",\"port\":11111}}]\n ```\n\n\n## Create your first Tiger Cloud service\n\nCreate a new service using the Tiger REST API:\n\n1. **Create a service using the POST endpoint**\n ```bash\n curl -X POST \"${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID}/services\" \\\n -u \"${TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY}:${TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY}\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\n \"name\": \"my-first-service\",\n \"addons\": [\"time-series\"],\n \"region_code\": \"us-east-1\",\n \"replica_count\": 1,\n \"cpu_millis\": \"1000\",\n \"memory_gbs\": \"4\"\n }'\n ```\n Tiger Cloud creates a Development environment for you. That is, no delete protection, high-availability, spooling or\n read replication. You see something like:\n ```terminaloutput\n {\"service_id\":\"tgrservice\",\"project_id\":\"tgrproject\",\"name\":\"my-first-service\",\n \"region_code\":\"us-east-1\",\"service_type\":\"TIMESCALEDB\",\n \"created\":\"2025-10-20T22:29:33.052075713Z\",\"paused\":false,\"status\":\"QUEUED\",\n \"resources\":[{\"id\":\"105120\",\"spec\":{\"cpu_millis\":1000,\"memory_gbs\":4,\"volume_type\":\"\"}}],\n \"metadata\":{\"environment\":\"PROD\"},\n \"endpoint\":{\"host\":\"tgrservice.tgrproject.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com\",\"port\":00001},\n \"initial_password\":\"notTellingYou\",\n \"ha_replicas\":{\"sync_replica_count\":0,\"replica_count\":1}}\n ```\n\n1. Save `service_id` from the response to a variable:\n\n ```bash\n # Extract service_id from the JSON response\n export SERVICE_ID=\"service_id-from-response\"\n ```\n\n1. **Check the configuration for the service**\n\n ```bash\n curl -X GET \"${API_BASE_URL}/projects/${TIGERDATA_PROJECT_ID}/services/${SERVICE_ID}\" \\\n -u \"${TIGERDATA_ACCESS_KEY}:${TIGERDATA_SECRET_KEY}\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\"\n ```\nYou see something like:\n ```terminaloutput\n {\"service_id\":\"tgrservice\",\"project_id\":\"tgrproject\",\"name\":\"my-first-service\",\n \"region_code\":\"us-east-1\",\"service_type\":\"TIMESCALEDB\",\n \"created\":\"2025-10-20T22:29:33.052075Z\",\"paused\":false,\"status\":\"READY\",\n \"resources\":[{\"id\":\"105120\",\"spec\":{\"cpu_millis\":1000,\"memory_gbs\":4,\"volume_type\":\"\"}}],\n \"metadata\":{\"environment\":\"DEV\"},\n \"endpoint\":{\"host\":\"tgrservice.tgrproject.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com\",\"port\":11111},\n \"ha_replicas\":{\"sync_replica_count\":0,\"replica_count\":1}}\n ```\n\nAnd that is it, you are ready to use the [Tiger REST API][rest-api-reference] to manage your\nservices in Tiger Cloud.\n\n## Security best practices\n\nFollow these security guidelines when working with the Tiger REST API:\n\n- **Credential management**\n - Store API credentials as environment variables, not in code\n - Use credential rotation policies for production environments\n - Never commit credentials to version control systems\n\n- **Network security**\n - Use HTTPS endpoints exclusively for API communication\n - Implement proper certificate validation in your HTTP clients\n\n- **Data protection**\n - Use secure storage for service connection strings and passwords\n - Implement proper backup and recovery procedures for created services\n - Follow data residency requirements for your region\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_dimensions_info/ =====\n\n### Dimension info\n\nTo create a `_timescaledb_internal.dimension_info` instance, you call [add_dimension][add_dimension]\nto an existing hypertable.\n\n#### Samples\n\nHypertables must always have a primary range dimension, followed by an arbitrary number of additional\ndimensions that can be either range or hash, Typically this is just one hash. For example:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_range('time'));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\n```\n\nFor incompatible data types such as `jsonb`, you can specify a function to the `partition_func` argument\nof the dimension build to extract a compatible data type. Look in the example section below.\n\n#### Custom partitioning\n\nBy default, TimescaleDB calls Postgres's internal hash function for the given type.\nYou use a custom partitioning function for value types that do not have a native Postgres hash function.\n\nYou can specify a custom partitioning function for both range and hash partitioning. A partitioning function should\ntake a `anyelement` argument as the only parameter and return a positive `integer` hash value. This hash value is\n_not_ a partition identifier, but rather the inserted value's position in the dimension's key space, which is then\ndivided across the partitions.\n\n#### by_range()\n\nCreate a by-range dimension builder. You can partition `by_range` on it's own.\n\n##### Samples\n\n- Partition on time using `CREATE TABLE`\n\n The simplest usage is to partition on a time column:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n This is the default partition, you do not need to add it explicitly.\n\n- Extract time from a non-time column using `create_hypertable`\n\n If you have a table with a non-time column containing the time, such as\n a JSON column, add a partition function to extract the time:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE my_table (\n metric_id serial not null,\n data jsonb,\n );\n\n CREATE FUNCTION get_time(jsonb) RETURNS timestamptz AS $$\n SELECT ($1->>'time')::timestamptz\n $$ LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE;\n\n SELECT create_hypertable('my_table', by_range('data', '1 day', 'get_time'));\n ```\n\n##### Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|----------|---------|-|-|\n|`column_name`| `NAME` | - |✔|Name of column to partition on.|\n|`partition_func`| `REGPROC` | - |✖|The function to use for calculating the partition of a value.|\n|`partition_interval`|`ANYELEMENT` | - |✖|Interval to partition column on.|\n\nIf the column to be partitioned is a:\n\n- `TIMESTAMP`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, or `DATE`: specify `partition_interval` either as an `INTERVAL` type\n or an integer value in *microseconds*.\n\n- Another integer type: specify `partition_interval` as an integer that reflects the column's\n underlying semantics. For example, if this column is in UNIX time, specify `partition_interval` in milliseconds.\n\nThe partition type and default value depending on column type is:\n\n| Column Type | Partition Type | Default value |\n|------------------------------|------------------|---------------|\n| `TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIMEZONE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `DATE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `SMALLINT` | SMALLINT | 10000 |\n| `INT` | INT | 100000 |\n| `BIGINT` | BIGINT | 1000000 |\n\n\n#### by_hash()\n\nThe main purpose of hash partitioning is to enable parallelization across multiple disks within the same time interval.\nEvery distinct item in hash partitioning is hashed to one of *N* buckets. By default, TimescaleDB uses flexible range\nintervals to manage chunk sizes.\n\n### Parallelizing disk I/O\n\nYou use Parallel I/O in the following scenarios:\n\n- Two or more concurrent queries should be able to read from different disks in parallel.\n- A single query should be able to use query parallelization to read from multiple disks in parallel.\n\nFor the following options:\n\n- **RAID**: use a RAID setup across multiple physical disks, and expose a single logical disk to the hypertable.\n That is, using a single tablespace.\n\n Best practice is to use RAID when possible, as you do not need to manually manage tablespaces\n in the database.\n\n- **Multiple tablespaces**: for each physical disk, add a separate tablespace to the database. TimescaleDB allows you to\n add multiple tablespaces to a *single* hypertable. However, although under the hood, a hypertable's\n chunks are spread across the tablespaces associated with that hypertable.\n\n When using multiple tablespaces, a best practice is to also add a second hash-partitioned dimension to your hypertable\n and to have at least one hash partition per disk. While a single time dimension would also work, it would mean that\n the first chunk is written to one tablespace, the second to another, and so on, and thus would parallelize only if a\n query's time range exceeds a single chunk.\n\nWhen adding a hash partitioned dimension, set the number of partitions to a multiple of number of disks. For example,\nthe number of partitions P=N*Pd where N is the number of disks and Pd is the number of partitions per\ndisk. This enables you to add more disks later and move partitions to the new disk from other disks.\n\nTimescaleDB does *not* benefit from a very large number of hash\npartitions, such as the number of unique items you expect in partition\nfield. A very large number of hash partitions leads both to poorer\nper-partition load balancing (the mapping of items to partitions using\nhashing), as well as much increased planning latency for some types of\nqueries.\n\n##### Samples\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n);\n\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\n```\n\n##### Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|----------|---------|-|----------------------------------------------------------|\n|`column_name`| `NAME` | - |✔| Name of column to partition on. |\n|`partition_func`| `REGPROC` | - |✖| The function to use to calcule the partition of a value. |\n|`number_partitions`|`ANYELEMENT` | - |✔| Number of hash partitions to use for `partitioning_column`. Must be greater than 0. |\n\n\n#### Returns\n\n`by_range` and `by-hash` return an opaque `_timescaledb_internal.dimension_info` instance, holding the\ndimension information used by this function.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_selfhosted_production_alert/ =====\n\nThe following instructions are for development and testing installations.

In this case, the dual-written data\nmust be removed. This can be achieved with a `DELETE` statement, as follows:\n\n```bash\npsql target -c \"DELETE FROM WHERE time >= AND time < );\"\n```\n\n\nThe BETWEEN operator is inclusive of both the start and end ranges, so it is\nnot recommended to use it.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_psql-installation-homebrew/ =====\n\n#### Installing psql using Homebrew\n\n1. Install `psql`:\n\n ```bash\n brew install libpq\n ```\n\n1. Update your path to include the `psql` tool.\n\n ```bash\n brew link --force libpq\n ```\n\n On Intel chips, the symbolic link is added to `/usr/local/bin`. On Apple\n Silicon, the symbolic link is added to `/opt/homebrew/bin`.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_early_access_2_17_1/ =====\n\nEarly access: TimescaleDB v2.17.1\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_dump_postgresql/ =====\n\n## Prepare to migrate\n1. **Take the applications that connect to the source database offline**\n\n The duration of the migration is proportional to the amount of data stored in your database. By\n disconnection your app from your database you avoid and possible data loss.\n\n1. **Set your connection strings**\n\n These variables hold the connection information for the source database and target Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```bash\n export SOURCE=\"postgres://:@:/\"\n export TARGET=\"postgres://tsdbadmin:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n You find the connection information for your Tiger Cloud service in the configuration file you\n downloaded when you created the service.\n\n## Align the extensions on the source and target\n\n1. Ensure that the Tiger Cloud service is running the Postgres extensions used in your source database.\n\n 1. Check the extensions on the source database:\n ```bash\n psql source -c \"SELECT * FROM pg_extension;\"\n ```\n 1. For each extension, enable it on your target Tiger Cloud service:\n ```bash\n psql target -c \"CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS CASCADE;\"\n ```\n\n## Migrate the roles from TimescaleDB to your Tiger Cloud service\n\nRoles manage database access permissions. To migrate your role-based security hierarchy to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n1. **Dump the roles from your source database**\n\n Export your role-based security hierarchy. `` has the same value as `` in `source`.\n I know, it confuses me as well.\n\n ```bash\n pg_dumpall -d \"source\" \\\n -l \n --quote-all-identifiers \\\n --roles-only \\\n --file=roles.sql\n ```\n\n If you only use the default `postgres` role, this step is not necessary.\n\n1. **Remove roles with superuser access**\n\n Tiger Cloud service do not support roles with superuser access. Run the following script\n to remove statements, permissions and clauses that require superuser permissions from `roles.sql`:\n\n ```bash\n sed -i -E \\\n -e '/CREATE ROLE \"postgres\";/d' \\\n -e '/ALTER ROLE \"postgres\"/d' \\\n -e '/CREATE ROLE \"tsdbadmin\";/d' \\\n -e '/ALTER ROLE \"tsdbadmin\"/d' \\\n -e 's/(NO)*SUPERUSER//g' \\\n -e 's/(NO)*REPLICATION//g' \\\n -e 's/(NO)*BYPASSRLS//g' \\\n -e 's/GRANTED BY \"[^\"]*\"//g' \\\n roles.sql\n ```\n\n1. **Dump the source database schema and data**\n\n The `pg_dump` flags remove superuser access and tablespaces from your data. When you run\n `pgdump`, check the run time, [a long-running `pg_dump` can cause issues][long-running-pgdump].\n\n ```bash\n pg_dump -d \"source\" \\\n --format=plain \\\n --quote-all-identifiers \\\n --no-tablespaces \\\n --no-owner \\\n --no-privileges \\\n --file=dump.sql\n ```\n To dramatically reduce the time taken to dump the source database, using multiple connections. For more information,\n see [dumping with concurrency][dumping-with-concurrency] and [restoring with concurrency][restoring-with-concurrency].\n\n## Upload your data to the target Tiger Cloud service\n\n```bash\npsql target -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 --echo-errors \\\n-f roles.sql \\\n-f dump.sql\n```\n\n## Validate your Tiger Cloud service and restart your app\n1. Update the table statistics.\n\n ```bash\n psql target -c \"ANALYZE;\"\n ```\n\n1. Verify the data in the target Tiger Cloud service.\n\n Check that your data is correct, and returns the results that you expect,\n\n1. Enable any Tiger Cloud features you want to use.\n\n Migration from Postgres moves the data only. Now manually enable Tiger Cloud features like\n [hypertables][about-hypertables], [hypercore][data-compression] or [data retention][data-retention]\n while your database is offline.\n\n1. Reconfigure your app to use the target database, then restart it.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_hypercore-conversion-overview/ =====\n\nWhen you convert chunks from the rowstore to the columnstore, multiple records are grouped into a single row.\nThe columns of this row hold an array-like structure that stores all the data. For example, data in the following\nrowstore chunk:\n\n| Timestamp | Device ID | Device Type | CPU |Disk IO|\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n|12:00:01|A|SSD|70.11|13.4|\n|12:00:01|B|HDD|69.70|20.5|\n|12:00:02|A|SSD|70.12|13.2|\n|12:00:02|B|HDD|69.69|23.4|\n|12:00:03|A|SSD|70.14|13.0|\n|12:00:03|B|HDD|69.70|25.2|\n\nIs converted and compressed into arrays in a row in the columnstore:\n\n|Timestamp|Device ID|Device Type|CPU|Disk IO|\n|-|-|-|-|-|\n|[12:00:01, 12:00:01, 12:00:02, 12:00:02, 12:00:03, 12:00:03]|[A, B, A, B, A, B]|[SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD, SSD, HDD]|[70.11, 69.70, 70.12, 69.69, 70.14, 69.70]|[13.4, 20.5, 13.2, 23.4, 13.0, 25.2]|\n\nBecause a single row takes up less disk space, you can reduce your chunk size by up to 98%, and can also\nspeed up your queries. This saves on storage costs, and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_live_migration_cleanup/ =====\n\nTo clean up resources associated with live migration, use the following command:\n\n```sh\ndocker run --rm -it --name live-migration-clean \\\n -e PGCOPYDB_SOURCE_PGURI=source \\\n -e PGCOPYDB_TARGET_PGURI=target \\\n --pid=host \\\n -v ~/live-migration:/opt/timescale/ts_cdc \\\n timescale/live-migration:latest clean --prune\n```\n\nThe `--prune` flag is used to delete temporary files in the `~/live-migration` directory\nthat were needed for the migration process. It's important to note that executing the\n`clean` command means you cannot resume the interrupted live migration.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_devops-cli-get-started/ =====\n\nTiger CLI is a command-line interface that you use to manage Tiger Cloud resources\nincluding VPCs, services, read replicas, and related infrastructure. Tiger CLI calls Tiger REST API to communicate with\nTiger Cloud.\n\nThis page shows you how to install and set up secure authentication for Tiger CLI, then create your first\nservice.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Data account][create-account].\n\n\n## Install and configure Tiger CLI\n\n1. **Install Tiger CLI**\n\n Use the terminal to install the CLI:\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo os=any dist=any bash\n sudo apt-get install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/timescale/tiger-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo os=rpm_any dist=rpm_any bash\n sudo yum install tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n brew install --cask timescale/tap/tiger-cli\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```shell\n curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Set up API credentials**\n\n 1. Log Tiger CLI into your Tiger Data account:\n\n ```shell\n tiger auth login\n ```\n Tiger CLI opens Console in your browser. Log in, then click `Authorize`.\n\n You can have a maximum of 10 active client credentials. If you get an error, open [credentials][rest-api-credentials]\n and delete an unused credential.\n\n 1. Select a Tiger Cloud project:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n Auth URL is: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=lotsOfURLstuff\n Opening browser for authentication...\n Select a project:\n\n > 1. Tiger Project (tgrproject)\n 2. YourCompany (Company wide project) (cpnproject)\n 3. YourCompany Department (dptproject)\n\n Use ↑/↓ arrows or number keys to navigate, enter to select, q to quit\n ```\n If only one project is associated with your account, this step is not shown.\n\n Where possible, Tiger CLI stores your authentication information in the system keychain/credential manager.\n If that fails, the credentials are stored in `~/.config/tiger/credentials` with restricted file permissions (600).\n By default, Tiger CLI stores your configuration in `~/.config/tiger/config.yaml`.\n\n1. **Test your authenticated connection to Tiger Cloud by listing services**\n\n ```bash\n tiger service list\n ```\n\n This call returns something like:\n - No services:\n ```terminaloutput\n 🏜️ No services found! Your project is looking a bit empty.\n 🚀 Ready to get started? Create your first service with: tiger service create\n ```\n - One or more services:\n\n ```terminaloutput\n ┌────────────┬─────────────────────┬────────┬─────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────────┐\n │ SERVICE ID │ NAME │ STATUS │ TYPE │ REGION │ CREATED │\n ├────────────┼─────────────────────┼────────┼─────────────┼──────────────┼──────────────────┤\n │ tgrservice │ tiger-agent-service │ READY │ TIMESCALEDB │ eu-central-1 │ 2025-09-25 16:09 │\n └────────────┴─────────────────────┴────────┴─────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────────┘\n ```\n\n\n## Create your first Tiger Cloud service\n\nCreate a new Tiger Cloud service using Tiger CLI:\n\n1. **Submit a service creation request**\n\n By default, Tiger CLI creates a service for you that matches your [pricing plan][pricing-plans]:\n * **Free plan**: shared CPU/memory and the `time-series` and `ai` capabilities\n * **Paid plan**: 0.5 CPU and 2 GB memory with the `time-series` capability\n ```shell\n tiger service create\n ```\n Tiger Cloud creates a Development environment for you.

It is designed specifically for\nreal-time analytics and powered by time-series data. The advantage of hypercore is its ability\nto seamlessly switch between row-oriented and column-oriented storage, delivering the best of both worlds:\n\n![Hypercore workflow](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/hypertable-with-hypercore-enabled.png)\n\nHypercore solves the key challenges in real-time analytics:\n\n- High ingest throughput\n- Low-latency ingestion\n- Fast query performance\n- Efficient handling of data updates and late-arriving data\n- Streamlined data management\n\nHypercore’s hybrid approach combines the benefits of row-oriented and column-oriented formats:\n\n- **Fast ingest with rowstore**: new data is initially written to the rowstore, which is optimized for\n high-speed inserts and updates. This process ensures that real-time applications easily handle\n rapid streams of incoming data. Mutability—upserts, updates, and deletes happen seamlessly.\n\n- **Efficient analytics with columnstore**: as the data **cools** and becomes more suited for\n analytics, it is automatically converted to the columnstore. This columnar format enables\n fast scanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical workloads while also\n saving significant storage space.\n\n- **Faster queries on compressed data in columnstore**: in the columnstore conversion, hypertable\n chunks are compressed by up to 98%, and organized for efficient, large-scale queries. Combined with [chunk skipping][chunk-skipping], this helps you save on storage costs and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.\n\n- **Fast modification of compressed data in columnstore**: just use SQL to add or modify data in the columnstore.\n TimescaleDB is optimized for superfast INSERT and UPSERT performance.\n\n- **Full mutability with transactional semantics**: regardless of where data is stored,\n hypercore provides full ACID support. Like in a vanilla Postgres database, inserts and updates\n to the rowstore and columnstore are always consistent, and available to queries as soon as they are\n completed.\n\nFor an in-depth explanation of how hypertables and hypercore work, see the [Data model][data-model].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_experimental-schema-upgrade/ =====\n\nWhen you upgrade the `timescaledb` extension, the experimental schema is removed\nby default. To use experimental features after an upgrade, you need to add the\nexperimental schema again.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_import_setup_connection_strings_parquet/ =====\n\nThis variable holds the connection information for the target Tiger Cloud service.\n\nIn the terminal on the source machine, set the following:\n\n```bash\nexport TARGET=postgres://tsdbadmin:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\n```\nSee where to [find your connection details][connection-info].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_pg_dump_minimal_downtime/ =====\n\nFor minimal downtime, run the migration commands from a machine with a low-latency,\nhigh-throughput link to the source and target databases. If you are using an AWS\nEC2 instance to run the migration commands, use one in the same region as your target\nTiger Cloud service.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_migrate_live_migrate_faq_all/ =====\n\n### ERROR: relation \"xxx.yy\" does not exist\n\nThis may happen when a relation is removed after executing the `snapshot` command. A relation can be\na table, index, view, or materialized view. When you see you this error:\n\n- Do not perform any explicit DDL operation on the source database during the course of migration.\n\n- If you are migrating from self-hosted TimescaleDB or MST, disable the chunk retention policy on your source database\n until you have finished migration.\n\n### FATAL: remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections\n\nThis may happen when the number of connections exhaust `max_connections` defined in your target Tiger Cloud service.\nBy default, live-migration needs around ~6 connections on the source and ~12 connections on the target.\n\n### Migration seems to be stuck with “x GB copied to Target DB (Source DB is y GB)”\n\nWhen you are migrating a lot of data involved in aggregation, or there are many materialized views taking time\nto complete the materialization, this may be due to `REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEWS` happening at the end of initial\ndata migration.\n\nTo resolve this issue:\n\n1. See what is happening on the target Tiger Cloud service:\n ```shell\n psql target -c \"select * from pg_stat_activity where application_name ilike '%pgcopydb%';\"\n ```\n\n1. When you run the `migrate`, add the following flags to exclude specific materialized views being materialized:\n ```shell\n --skip-table-data ”\n ```\n\n1. When `migrate` has finished, manually refresh the materialized views you excluded.\n\n\n### Restart migration from scratch after a non-resumable failure\n\nIf the migration halts due to a failure, such as a misconfiguration of the source or target database, you may need to\nrestart the migration from scratch. In such cases, you can reuse the original target Tiger Cloud service created for the\nmigration by utilizing the `--drop-if-exists` flag with the migrate command.\n\nThis flag ensures that the existing target objects created by the previous migration are dropped, allowing the migration\nto proceed without trouble.\n\nNote: This flag also requires you to manually recreate the TimescaleDB extension on the target.\n\nHere’s an example command sequence to restart the migration:\n\n```shell\npsql target -c \"DROP EXTENSION timescaledb CASCADE\"\n\npsql target -c 'CREATE EXTENSION timescaledb VERSION \"\"'\n\ndocker run --rm -it --name live-migration-migrate \\\n -e PGCOPYDB_SOURCE_PGURI=source \\\n -e PGCOPYDB_TARGET_PGURI=target \\\n --pid=host \\\n -v ~/live-migration:/opt/timescale/ts_cdc \\\n timescale/live-migration:latest migrate --drop-if-exists\n```\n\nThis approach provides a clean slate for the migration process while reusing the existing target instance.\n\n### Inactive or lagging replication slots\n\nIf you encounter an “Inactive or lagging replication slots” warning on your cloud provider console after using live-migration, it might be due to lingering replication slots created by the live-migration tool on your source database.\n\nTo clean up resources associated with live migration, use the following command:\n\n```sh\ndocker run --rm -it --name live-migration-clean \\\n -e PGCOPYDB_SOURCE_PGURI=source \\\n -e PGCOPYDB_TARGET_PGURI=target \\\n --pid=host \\\n -v ~/live-migration:/opt/timescale/ts_cdc \\\n timescale/live-migration:latest clean --prune\n```\n\nThe `--prune` flag is used to delete temporary files in the `~/live-migration` directory\nthat were needed for the migration process. It's important to note that executing the\n`clean` command means you cannot resume the interrupted live migration.\n\n\n### Role passwords\n\nBecause of issues dumping passwords from various managed service providers, Live-migration\nmigrates roles without passwords. You have to migrate passwords manually.\n\n\n### Table privileges\n\nLive-migration does not migrate table privileges. After completing Live-migration:\n\n1. Grant all roles to `tsdbadmin`.\n ```shell\n psql -d source -t -A -c \"SELECT FORMAT('GRANT %I TO tsdbadmin;', rolname) FROM\n pg_catalog.pg_roles WHERE rolname not like 'pg_%' AND rolname != 'tsdbadmin'\n AND NOT rolsuper\" | psql -d target -f -\n ```\n\n1. On your migration machine, edit `/tmp/grants.psql` to match table privileges on your source database.\n ```shell\n pg_dump --schema-only --quote-all-identifiers\n --exclude-schema=_timescaledb_catalog --format=plain --dbname \"source\" | grep\n \"(ALTER.*OWNER.*|GRANT|REVOKE)\" > /tmp/grants.psql\n ```\n\n1. Run `grants.psql` on your target Tiger Cloud service.\n ```shell\n psql -d target -f /tmp/grants.psql\n ```\n\n### Postgres to Tiger Cloud: “live-replay not keeping up with source load”\n\n1. Go to Tiger Cloud Console -> `Monitoring` -> `Insights` tab and find the query which takes significant time\n2. If the query is either UPDATE/DELETE, make sure the columns used on the WHERE clause have necessary indexes.\n3. If the query is either UPDATE/DELETE on the tables which are converted as hypertables, make sure the REPLIDA IDENTITY(defaults to primary key) on the source is compatible with the target primary key. If not, create an UNIQUE index source database by including the hypertable partition column and make it as a REPLICA IDENTITY. Also, create the same UNIQUE index on target.\n\n### ERROR: out of memory (or) Failed on request of size xxx in memory context \"yyy\" on a Tiger Cloud service\n\nThis error occurs when the Out of Memory (OOM) guard is triggered due to memory allocations exceeding safe limits. It typically happens when multiple concurrent connections to the TimescaleDB instance are performing memory-intensive operations. For example, during live migrations, this error can occur when large indexes are being created simultaneously.\n\nThe live-migration tool includes a retry mechanism to handle such errors. However, frequent OOM crashes may significantly delay the migration process.\n\nOne of the following can be used to avoid the OOM errors:\n\n1. Upgrade to Higher Memory Spec Instances: To mitigate memory constraints, consider using a TimescaleDB instance with higher specifications, such as an instance with 8 CPUs and 32 GB RAM (or more). Higher memory capacity can handle larger workloads and reduce the likelihood of OOM errors.\n\n1. Reduce Concurrency: If upgrading your instance is not feasible, you can reduce the concurrency of the index migration process using the `--index-jobs=` flag in the migration command. By default, the value of `--index-jobs` matches the GUC max_parallel_workers. Lowering this value reduces the memory usage during migration but may increase the total migration time.\n\nBy taking these steps, you can prevent OOM errors and ensure a smoother migration experience with TimescaleDB.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_install-self-hosted-debian-based/ =====\n\n1. **Install the latest Postgres packages**\n\n ```bash\n sudo apt install gnupg postgresql-common apt-transport-https lsb-release wget\n ```\n\n1. **Run the Postgres package setup script**\n\n ```bash\n sudo /usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/apt.postgresql.org.sh\n ```\n\n If you want to do some development on Postgres, add the libraries:\n ```\n sudo apt install postgresql-server-dev-17\n ```\n\n1. **Add the TimescaleDB package**\n\n \n\n\n\n ```bash\n echo \"deb https://packagecloud.io/timescale/timescaledb/debian/ $(lsb_release -c -s) main\" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/timescaledb.list\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```bash\n echo \"deb https://packagecloud.io/timescale/timescaledb/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -c -s) main\" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/timescaledb.list\n ```\n\n\n\n \n\n1. **Install the TimescaleDB GPG key**\n\n ```bash\n wget --quiet -O - https://packagecloud.io/timescale/timescaledb/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/timescaledb.gpg\n ```\n\n For Ubuntu 21.10 and earlier use the following command:\n\n `wget --quiet -O - https://packagecloud.io/timescale/timescaledb/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -`\n\n1. **Update your local repository list**\n\n ```bash\n sudo apt update\n ```\n\n1. **Install TimescaleDB**\n\n ```bash\n sudo apt install timescaledb-2-postgresql-17 postgresql-client-17\n ```\n\n To install a specific TimescaleDB [release][releases-page], set the version.

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data using hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE transactions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n block_id INT,\n hash TEXT,\n size INT,\n weight INT,\n is_coinbase BOOLEAN,\n output_total BIGINT,\n output_total_usd DOUBLE PRECISION,\n fee BIGINT,\n fee_usd DOUBLE PRECISION,\n details JSONB\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby='block_id',\n tsdb.orderby='time DESC'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. Create an index on the `hash` column to make queries for individual\n transactions faster:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX hash_idx ON public.transactions USING HASH (hash);\n ```\n\n1. Create an index on the `block_id` column to make block-level queries faster:\n\n When you create a hypertable, it is partitioned on the time column. TimescaleDB\n automatically creates an index on the time column. However, you'll often filter\n your time-series data on other columns as well. You use [indexes][indexing] to improve\n query performance.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX block_idx ON public.transactions (block_id);\n ```\n\n1. Create a unique index on the `time` and `hash` columns to make sure you\n don't accidentally insert duplicate records:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE UNIQUE INDEX time_hash_idx ON public.transactions (time, hash);\n ```\n\n## Load financial data\n\nThe dataset contains around 1.5 million Bitcoin transactions, the trades for five days.

You can use the stock trade data from\n the [Getting Started Guide][gsg-data].\n\nThe examples in this section use these variables and Grafana functions:\n\n* `$symbol`: a variable used to filter results by stock symbols.\n* `_timeFrom()::timestamptz` & `_timeTo()::timestamptz`:\n Grafana variables. You change the values of these variables by\n using the dashboard's date chooser when viewing your graph.\n* `$bucket_interval`: the interval size to pass to the `time_bucket`\n function when aggregating data.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_cloud-mst-comparison/ =====\n\nTiger Cloud is a high-performance developer focused cloud that provides Postgres services enhanced\nwith our blazing fast vector search.

This includes `psql`, and `pg_dump`.\n- Read [the release notes][relnotes] for the version of TimescaleDB that you are upgrading to.\n- [Perform a backup][backup] of your database. While TimescaleDB\n upgrades are performed in-place, upgrading is an intrusive operation.

Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_day_by_day` for energy consumption:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW kwh_day_by_day(time, value)\n with (timescaledb.continuous) as\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy to keep `kwh_day_by_day` up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('kwh_day_by_day',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on an hourly basis**\n\n 1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_hour_by_hour` for energy consumption:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW kwh_hour_by_hour(time, value)\n with (timescaledb.continuous) as\n SELECT time_bucket('01:00:00', metrics.created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('kwh_hour_by_hour',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. **Analyze your data**\n\n Now you have made continuous aggregates, it could be a good idea to use them to perform analytics on your data.\n For example, to see how average energy consumption changes during weekdays over the last year, run the following query:\n ```sql\n WITH per_day AS (\n SELECT\n time,\n value\n FROM kwh_day_by_day\n WHERE \"time\" at time zone 'Europe/Berlin' > date_trunc('month', time) - interval '1 year'\n ORDER BY 1\n ), daily AS (\n SELECT\n to_char(time, 'Dy') as day,\n value\n FROM per_day\n ), percentile AS (\n SELECT\n day,\n approx_percentile(0.50, percentile_agg(value)) as value\n FROM daily\n GROUP BY 1\n ORDER BY 1\n )\n SELECT\n d.day,\n d.ordinal,\n pd.value\n FROM unnest(array['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']) WITH ORDINALITY AS d(day, ordinal)\n LEFT JOIN percentile pd ON lower(pd.day) = lower(d.day);\n ```\n\n You see something like:\n\n | day | ordinal | value |\n | --- | ------- | ----- |\n | Mon | 2 | 23.08078714975423 |\n | Sun | 1 | 19.511430831944395 |\n | Tue | 3 | 25.003118897837307 |\n | Wed | 4 | 8.09300571759772 |\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_use-case-transport-geolocation/ =====\n\n### Set up your data for geospatial queries\n\nTo add geospatial analysis to your ride count visualization, you need geospatial data to work out which trips\noriginated where. As TimescaleDB is compatible with all Postgres extensions, use [PostGIS][postgis] to slice\ndata by time and location.\n\n1. Connect to your [Tiger Cloud service][in-console-editors] and add the PostGIS extension:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE EXTENSION postgis;\n ```\n\n1. Add geometry columns for pick up and drop off locations:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE rides ADD COLUMN pickup_geom geometry(POINT,2163);\n ALTER TABLE rides ADD COLUMN dropoff_geom geometry(POINT,2163);\n ```\n\n1. Convert the latitude and longitude points into geometry coordinates that work with PostGIS:\n\n ```sql\n UPDATE rides SET pickup_geom = ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(pickup_longitude,pickup_latitude),4326),2163),\n dropoff_geom = ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(dropoff_longitude,dropoff_latitude),4326),2163);\n ```\n This updates 10,906,860 rows of data on both columns, it takes a while. Coffee is your friend.\n\n### Visualize the area where you can make the most money\n\nIn this section you visualize a query that returns rides longer than 5 miles for\ntrips taken within 2 km of Times Square. The data includes the distance travelled and\nis `GROUP BY` `trip_distance` and location so that Grafana can plot the data properly.\n\nThis enables you to see where a taxi driver is most likely to pick up a passenger who wants a longer ride,\nand make more money.\n\n1. **Create a geolocalization dashboard**\n\n 1. In Grafana, create a new dashboard that is connected to your Tiger Cloud service data source with a Geomap\n visualization.\n\n 1. In the `Queries` section, select `Code`, then select the Time series `Format`.\n\n ![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-timescale-configure-dashboard.png)\n\n 1. To find rides longer than 5 miles in Manhattan, paste the following query:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('5m', rides.pickup_datetime) AS time,\n rides.trip_distance AS value,\n rides.pickup_latitude AS latitude,\n rides.pickup_longitude AS longitude\n FROM rides\n WHERE rides.pickup_datetime BETWEEN '2016-01-01T01:41:55.986Z' AND '2016-01-01T07:41:55.986Z' AND\n ST_Distance(pickup_geom,\n ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(-73.9851,40.7589),4326),2163)\n ) < 2000\n GROUP BY time,\n rides.trip_distance,\n rides.pickup_latitude,\n rides.pickup_longitude\n ORDER BY time\n LIMIT 500;\n ```\n You see a world map with a dot on New York.\n 1. Zoom into your map to see the visualization clearly.\n\n1. **Customize the visualization**\n\n 1. In the Geomap options, under `Map Layers`, click `+ Add layer` and select `Heatmap`.\n You now see the areas where a taxi driver is most likely to pick up a passenger who wants a\n longer ride, and make more money.\n\n ![Real-time analytics geolocation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/use-case-rta-grafana-heatmap.png)\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_partials/_old-api-create-hypertable/ =====\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable].

See the [Centralize network connectivity using AWS Transit Gateway][aws-onprem].\n\n1. **Create a Peering VPC in [Tiger Cloud Console][console-login]**\n\n 1. In `Security` > `VPC`, click `Create a VPC`:\n\n ![Tiger Cloud new VPC](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/add-peering-vpc-tiger-console.png)\n\n 1. Choose your region and IP range, name your VPC, then click `Create VPC`:\n\n ![Create a new VPC in Tiger Cloud](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/configure-peering-vpc-tiger-console.png)\n\n Your service and Peering VPC must be in the same AWS region. The number of Peering VPCs you can create in your project depends on your [pricing plan][pricing-plans]. If you need another Peering VPC, either contact [support@tigerdata.com](mailto:support@tigerdata.com) or change your plan in [Tiger Cloud Console][console-login].\n\n 1. Add a peering connection:\n\n 1. In the `VPC Peering` column, click `Add`.\n 1. Provide your AWS account ID, Transit Gateway ID, CIDR ranges, and AWS region. Tiger Cloud creates a new isolated connection for every unique Transit Gateway ID.\n\n ![Add peering](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/add-peering-tiger-console.png)\n\n 1. Click `Add connection`.\n\n1. **Accept and configure peering connection in your AWS account**\n\n Once your peering connection appears as `Processing`, you can accept and configure it in AWS:\n\n 1. Accept the peering request coming from Tiger Cloud. The request can take up to 5 min to arrive. Within 5 more minutes after accepting, the peering should appear as `Connected` in Tiger Cloud Console.\n\n 1. Configure at least the following in your AWS account networking:\n\n - Your subnet route table to route traffic to your Transit Gateway for the Peering VPC CIDRs.\n - Your Transit Gateway route table to route traffic to the newly created Transit Gateway peering attachment for the Peering VPC CIDRs.\n - Security groups to allow outbound TCP 5432.\n\n1. **Attach a Tiger Cloud service to the Peering VPC In [Tiger Cloud Console][console-services]**\n\n 1. Select the service you want to connect to the Peering VPC.\n 1. Click `Operations` > `Security` > `VPC`.\n 1. Select the VPC, then click `Attach VPC`.\n\n You cannot attach a Tiger Cloud service to multiple Tiger Cloud VPCs at the same time.\n\nYou have successfully integrated your Microsoft Azure infrastructure with Tiger Cloud.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/cloudwatch/ =====\n\n# Integrate Amazon CloudWatch with Tiger Cloud\n\n\n\n[Amazon CloudWatch][cloudwatch] is a monitoring and observability service designed to help collect, analyze, and act on data from applications, infrastructure, and services running in AWS and on-premises environments.\n\nYou can export telemetry data from your Tiger Cloud services with the time-series and analytics capability enabled to CloudWatch. The available metrics include CPU usage, RAM usage, and storage. This integration is available for [Scale and Enterprise][pricing-plan-features] pricing tiers.\n\nThis pages explains how to export telemetry data from your Tiger Cloud service into CloudWatch by creating a Tiger Cloud data exporter, then attaching it to the service.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need your [connection details][connection-info].\n\n- Sign up for [Amazon CloudWatch][cloudwatch-signup].\n\n## Create a data exporter\n\nA Tiger Cloud data exporter sends telemetry data from a Tiger Cloud service to a third-party monitoring\ntool. You create an exporter on the [project level][projects], in the same AWS region as your service:\n\n1. **In Tiger Cloud Console, open [Exporters][console-integrations]**\n1. **Click `New exporter`**\n1. **Select the data type and specify `AWS CloudWatch` for provider**\n\n ![Add CloudWatch data exporter](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-console-integrations-cloudwatch.png)\n\n1. **Provide your AWS CloudWatch configuration**\n\n - The AWS region must be the same for your Tiger Cloud exporter and AWS CloudWatch Log group.\n - The exporter name appears in Tiger Cloud Console, best practice is to make this name easily understandable.\n - For CloudWatch credentials, either use an [existing CloudWatch Log group][console-cloudwatch-configuration]\n or [create a new one][console-cloudwatch-create-group]. If you're uncertain, use\n the default values. For more information, see [Working with log groups and log streams][cloudwatch-log-naming].\n\n1. **Choose the authentication method to use for the exporter**\n\n ![Add CloudWatch authentication](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tiger-cloud-console/tiger-cloud-integrations-cloudwatch-authentication.png)\n\n\n\n\n\n 1. In AWS, navigate to [IAM > Identity providers][create-an-iam-id-provider], then click `Add provider`.\n\n 1. Update the new identity provider with your details:\n\n Set `Provider URL` to the [region where you are creating your exporter][reference].\n\n ![oidc provider creation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/aws-create-iam-oicd-provider.png)\n\n 1. Click `Add provider`.\n\n 1. In AWS, navigate to [IAM > Roles][add-id-provider-as-wi-role], then click `Create role`.\n\n 1. Add your identity provider as a Web identity role and click `Next`.\n\n ![web identity role creation](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/aws-create-role-web-identity.png)\n\n 1. Set the following permission and trust policies:\n\n - Permission policy:\n\n ```json\n {\n \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\n \"Statement\": [\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Action\": [\n \"logs:PutLogEvents\",\n \"logs:CreateLogGroup\",\n \"logs:CreateLogStream\",\n \"logs:DescribeLogStreams\",\n \"logs:DescribeLogGroups\",\n \"logs:PutRetentionPolicy\",\n \"xray:PutTraceSegments\",\n \"xray:PutTelemetryRecords\",\n \"xray:GetSamplingRules\",\n \"xray:GetSamplingTargets\",\n \"xray:GetSamplingStatisticSummaries\",\n \"ssm:GetParameters\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": \"*\"\n }\n ]\n }\n ```\n - Role with a Trust Policy:\n\n ```json\n {\n \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\n \"Statement\": [\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Principal\": {\n \"Federated\": \"arn:aws:iam::12345678910:oidc-provider/irsa-oidc-discovery-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\"\n },\n \"Action\": \"sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity\",\n \"Condition\": {\n \"StringEquals\": {\n \"irsa-oidc-discovery-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:aud\": \"sts.amazonaws.com\"\n }\n }\n },\n {\n \"Sid\": \"Statement1\",\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Principal\": {\n \"AWS\": \"arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/my-exporter-role\"\n },\n \"Action\": \"sts:AssumeRole\"\n }\n ]\n }\n ```\n 1. Click `Add role`.\n\n\n\n\n\n When you use CloudWatch credentials, you link an Identity and Access Management (IAM)\n user with access to CloudWatch only with your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n 1. Retrieve the user information from [IAM > Users in AWS console][list-iam-users].\n\n If you do not have an AWS user with access restricted to CloudWatch only,\n [create one][create-an-iam-user].\n For more information, see [Creating IAM users (console)][aws-access-keys].\n\n 1. Enter the credentials for the AWS IAM user.\n\n AWS keys give access to your AWS services. To keep your AWS account secure, restrict users to the minimum required permissions. Always store your keys in a safe location. To avoid this issue, use the IAM role authentication method.\n\n\n\n\n\n1.

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Check for an existing installation\n\nOn many operating systems, `psql` is installed by default. To use the functionality described in this page, best practice is to use the latest version of `psql`. To check the version running on your system:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n```bash\npsql --version\n```\n\n\n\n\n\n\n```powershell\nwmic\n/output:C:\\list.txt product get name, version\n```\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you already have the latest version of `psql` installed, proceed to the [Connect to your service][connect-database] section.\n\n## Install psql\n\nIf there is no existing installation, take the following steps to install `psql`:\n\n\n\n\n\nInstall using Homebrew. `libpqxx` is the official C++ client API for Postgres.\n\n1. Install Homebrew, if you don't already have it:\n\n ```bash\n /bin/bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)\"\n ```\n\n For more information about Homebrew, including installation instructions, see the [Homebrew documentation][homebrew].\n\n1. Make sure your Homebrew repository is up to date:\n\n ```bash\n brew doctor\n brew update\n ```\n\n1. Install `psql`:\n\n ```bash\n brew install libpq\n ```\n\n1. Update your path to include the `psql` tool:\n\n ```bash\n brew link --force libpq\n ```\n\nOn Intel chips, the symbolic link is added to `/usr/local/bin`. On Apple Silicon, the symbolic link is added to `/opt/homebrew/bin`.\n\n\n\n\n\nInstall using MacPorts. `libpqxx` is the official C++ client API for Postgres.\n\n1. [Install MacPorts][macports] by downloading and running the package installer.\n\n1. Make sure MacPorts is up to date:\n\n ```bash\n sudo port selfupdate\n ```\n\n1. Install the latest version of `libpqxx`:\n\n ```bash\n sudo port install libpqxx\n ```\n\n1. View the files that were installed by `libpqxx`:\n\n ```bash\n port contents libpqxx\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\nInstall `psql` on Debian and Ubuntu with the `apt` package manager.\n\n1. Make sure your `apt` repository is up to date:\n\n ```bash\n sudo apt-get update\n ```\n\n1. Install the `postgresql-client` package:\n\n ```bash\n sudo apt-get install postgresql-client\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n`psql` is installed by default when you install Postgres. This procedure uses the interactive installer provided by Postgres and EnterpriseDB.\n\n1. Download and run the Postgres installer from [www.enterprisedb.com][windows-installer].\n\n1. In the `Select Components` dialog, check `Command Line Tools`, along with any other components you want to install, and click `Next`.\n\n1. Complete the installation wizard to install the package.\n\n\n\n\n\n## Connect to your service\n\nTo use `psql` to connect to your service, you need the connection details. See [Find your connection details][connection-info].\n\nConnect to your service with either:\n\n- The parameter flags:\n\n ```bash\n psql -h -p -U -W -d \n ```\n\n- The service URL:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n You are prompted to provide the password.\n\n- The service URL with the password already included and [a stricter SSL mode][ssl-mode] enabled:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=verify-full\"\n ```\n\n## Useful psql commands\n\nWhen you start using `psql`, these are the commands you are likely to use most frequently:\n\n|Command|Description|\n|-|-|\n|`\\c `|Connect to a new database|\n|`\\d `|Show the details of a table|\n|`\\df`|List functions in the current database|\n|`\\df+`|List all functions with more details|\n|`\\di`|List all indexes from all tables|\n|`\\dn`|List all schemas in the current database|\n|`\\dt`|List available tables|\n|`\\du`|List Postgres database roles|\n|`\\dv`|List views in current schema|\n|`\\dv+`|List all views with more details|\n|`\\dx`|Show all installed extensions|\n|`ef `|Edit a function|\n|`\\h`|Show help on syntax of SQL commands|\n|`\\l`|List available databases|\n|`\\password `|Change the password for the user|\n|`\\q`|Quit `psql`|\n|`\\set`|Show system variables list|\n|`\\timing`|Show how long a query took to execute|\n|`\\x`|Show expanded query results|\n|`\\?`|List all `psql` slash commands|\n\nFor more on `psql` commands, see the [Tiger Data psql cheat sheet][psql-cheat-sheet] and [psql documentation][psql-docs].\n\n## Save query results to a file\n\nWhen you run queries in `psql`, the results are shown in the terminal by default.\nIf you are running queries that have a lot of results, you might like to save\nthe results into a comma-separated `.csv` file instead. You can do this using\nthe `COPY` command. For example:\n\n```sql\n\\copy (SELECT * FROM ...) TO '/tmp/output.csv' (format CSV);\n```\n\nThis command sends the results of the query to a new file called `output.csv` in\nthe `/tmp/` directory. You can open the file using any spreadsheet program.\n\n## Run long queries\n\nTo run multi-line queries in `psql`, use the `EOF` delimiter. For example:\n\n```sql\npsql -d target -f -v hypertable= - <<'EOF'\nSELECT public.alter_job(j.id, scheduled=>true)\nFROM _timescaledb_config.bgw_job j\nJOIN _timescaledb_catalog.hypertable h ON h.id = j.hypertable_id\nWHERE j.proc_schema IN ('_timescaledb_internal', '_timescaledb_functions')\nAND j.proc_name = 'policy_columnstore'\nAND j.id >= 1000\nAND format('%I.%I', h.schema_name, h.table_name)::text::regclass = :'hypertable'::text::regclass;\nEOF\n```\n\n## Edit queries in a text editor\n\nSometimes, queries can get very long, and you might make a mistake when you try\ntyping it the first time around. If you have made a mistake in a long query,\ninstead of retyping it, you can use a built-in text editor, which is based on\n`Vim`. Launch the query editor with the `\\e` command. Your previous query is\nloaded into the editor. When you have made your changes, press `Esc`, then type\n`:`＋`w`＋`q` to save the changes, and return to the command prompt. Access the\nedited query by pressing `↑`, and press `Enter` to run it.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/google-cloud/ =====\n\n# Integrate Google Cloud with Tiger Cloud\n\n\n\n[Google Cloud][google-cloud] is a suite of cloud computing services, offering scalable infrastructure, AI, analytics, databases, security, and developer tools to help businesses build, deploy, and manage applications.\n\nThis page explains how to integrate your Google Cloud infrastructure with Tiger Cloud using [AWS Transit Gateway][aws-transit-gateway].\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need your [connection details][connection-info].\n\n- Set up [AWS Transit Gateway][gtw-setup].\n\n## Connect your Google Cloud infrastructure to your Tiger Cloud services\n\nTo connect to Tiger Cloud:\n\n1. **Connect your infrastructure to AWS Transit Gateway**\n\n Establish connectivity between Google Cloud and AWS.

In [Tiger Cloud Console][console-services], choose the service.\n 1. Click `Operations` > `Exporters`.\n 1. Click the trash can icon.\n 1. Repeat for every service attached to the exporter you want to remove.\n\n The data exporter is now unattached from all services. However, it still exists in your project.\n\n1. **Delete the exporter on the project level**\n\n 1. In Tiger Cloud Console, open [Exporters][console-integrations]\n 1. Next to the exporter you want to edit, click menu > `Delete`\n 1. Confirm that you want to delete the data exporter.\n\n### Reference\n\nWhen you create the IAM OIDC provider, the URL must match the region you create the exporter in.\nIt must be one of the following:\n\n| Region | Zone | Location | URL\n|------------------|---------------|----------------|--------------------|\n| `ap-southeast-1` | Asia Pacific | Singapore | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-ap-southeast-1.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `ap-southeast-2` | Asia Pacific | Sydney | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-ap-southeast-2.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com`\n| `ap-northeast-1` | Asia Pacific | Tokyo | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-ap-northeast-1.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `ca-central-1` | Canada | Central | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-ca-central-1.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `eu-central-1` | Europe | Frankfurt | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-eu-central-1.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `eu-west-1` | Europe | Ireland | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-eu-west-1.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `eu-west-2` | Europe | London | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-eu-west-2.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com`\n| `sa-east-1` | South America | São Paulo | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-sa-east-1.s3.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `us-east-1` | United States | North Virginia | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`\n| `us-east-2` | United States | Ohio | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-us-east-2.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com`\n| `us-west-2` | United States | Oregon | `irsa-oidc-discovery-prod-us-west-2.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com`\n\n## Configure Datadog Agent to collect metrics for your Tiger Cloud services\n\nDatadog Agent includes a [Postgres integration][datadog-postgres] that you use to collect detailed Postgres database\nmetrics about your Tiger Cloud services.\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n For Tiger Cloud, open an [SQL editor][run-queries] in [Tiger Cloud Console][open-console]. For self-hosted TimescaleDB, use [`psql`][psql].\n\n1. **Add the `datadog` user to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n ```sql\n create user datadog with password '';\n ```\n\n ```sql\n grant pg_monitor to datadog;\n ```\n\n ```sql\n grant SELECT ON pg_stat_database to datadog;\n ```\n\n1. **Test the connection and rights for the datadog user**\n\n Update the following command with your [connection details][connection-info], then run it from the command line:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://datadog:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\" -c \\\n \"select * from pg_stat_database LIMIT(1);\" \\\n && echo -e \"\\e[0;32mPostgres connection - OK\\e[0m\" || echo -e \"\\e[0;31mCannot connect to Postgres\\e[0m\"\n ```\n You see the output from the `pg_stat_database` table, which means you have given the correct rights to `datadog`.\n\n1. **Connect Datadog to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n 1. Configure the [Datadog Agent Postgres configuration file][datadog-config]; it is usually located on the Datadog Agent host at:\n - **Linux**: `/etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/postgres.d/conf.yaml`\n - **MacOS**: `/opt/datadog-agent/etc/conf.d/postgres.d/conf.yaml`\n - **Windows**: `C:\\ProgramData\\Datadog\\conf.d\\postgres.d\\conf.yaml`\n\n 1. Integrate Datadog Agent with your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n Use your [connection details][connection-info] to update the following and add it to the Datadog Agent Postgres\n configuration file:\n\n ```yaml\n init_config:\n\n instances:\n - host: \n port: \n username: datadog\n password: >\n dbname: tsdb\n disable_generic_tags: true\n ```\n\n1. **Add Tiger Cloud metrics**\n\n Tags to make it easier for build Datadog dashboards that combine metrics from the Tiger Cloud data exporter and\n Datadog Agent. Use your [connection details][connection-info] to update the following and add it to\n `/datadog.yaml`:\n\n ```yaml\n tags:\n - project-id:\n - service-id:\n - region:\n ```\n\n1. **Restart Datadog Agent**\n\n See how to [Start, stop, and restart Datadog Agent][datadog-agent-restart].\n\nMetrics for your Tiger Cloud service are now visible in Datadog. Check the Datadog Postgres integration documentation for a\ncomprehensive list of [metrics][datadog-postgres-metrics] collected.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/decodable/ =====\n\n# Integrate Decodable with Tiger Cloud\n\n\n\n[Decodable][decodable] is a real-time data platform that allows you to build, run, and manage data pipelines effortlessly.\n\n![Decodable workflow](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/integrations-decodable-configuration.png)\n\nThis page explains how to integrate Decodable with your Tiger Cloud service to enable efficient real-time streaming and analytics.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info].

Compressed chunks are forwarded unchanged to the next downstream job in the\n pipeline for further processing as needed. Typically, messages with compressed chunks are dropped, and are not\n processed by subsequent jobs in the pipeline.\n\n This limitation only affects changes to chunks in the columnstore. Changes to data in the rowstore work correctly.\n\n\nThis page explains how to capture changes in your database and stream them using Debezium on Apache Kafka.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb] instance.\n\n- [Install Docker][install-docker] on your development machine.\n\n## Configure your database to work with Debezium\n\n\n\n\n\nTo set up self-hosted TimescaleDB to communicate with Debezium:\n\n1. **Configure your self-hosted Postgres deployment**\n\n 1. Open `postgresql.conf`.\n\n The Postgres configuration files are usually located in:\n\n - Docker: `/home/postgres/pgdata/data/`\n - Linux: `/etc/postgresql//main/` or `/var/lib/pgsql//data/`\n - MacOS: `/opt/homebrew/var/postgresql@/`\n - Windows: `C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\\\data\\`\n\n 1. Enable logical replication.\n\n Modify the following settings in `postgresql.conf`:\n\n ```ini\n wal_level = logical\n max_replication_slots = 10\n max_wal_senders = 10\n ```\n\n 1. Open `pg_hba.conf` and enable host replication.\n\n To allow replication connections, add the following:\n\n ```\n local replication debezium trust\n ```\n This permission is for the `debezium` Postgres user running on a local or Docker deployment. For more about replication\n permissions, see [Configuring Postgres to allow replication with the Debezium connector host][debezium-replication-permissions].\n\n 1. Restart Postgres.\n\n\n1. **Connect to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance**\n\n Use [`psql`][psql-connect].\n\n1. **Create a Debezium user in Postgres**\n\n Create a user with the `LOGIN` and `REPLICATION` permissions:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE ROLE debezium WITH LOGIN REPLICATION PASSWORD '';\n ```\n\n1. **Enable a replication spot for Debezium**\n\n 1. Create a table for Debezium to listen to:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE accounts (created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),\n name TEXT,\n city TEXT);\n ```\n\n 1. Turn the table into a hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('accounts', 'created_at');\n ```\n\n Debezium also works with [continuous aggregates][caggs].\n\n 1. Create a publication and enable a replication slot:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE PUBLICATION dbz_publication FOR ALL TABLES WITH (publish = 'insert, update');\n ```\n\n## Configure Debezium to work with your database\n\nSet up Kafka Connect server, plugins, drivers, and connectors:\n\n1. **Run Zookeeper in Docker**\n\n In another Terminal window, run the following command:\n ```bash\n docker run -it --rm --name zookeeper -p 2181:2181 -p 2888:2888 -p 3888:3888 quay.io/debezium/zookeeper:3.0\n ```\n Check the output log to see that zookeeper is running.\n\n1. **Run Kafka in Docker**\n\n In another Terminal window, run the following command:\n ```bash\n docker run -it --rm --name kafka -p 9092:9092 --link zookeeper:zookeeper quay.io/debezium/kafka:3.0\n ```\n Check the output log to see that Kafka is running.\n\n\n1. **Run Kafka Connect in Docker**\n\n In another Terminal window, run the following command:\n ```bash\n docker run -it --rm --name connect \\\n -p 8083:8083 \\\n -e GROUP_ID=1 \\\n -e CONFIG_STORAGE_TOPIC=accounts \\\n -e OFFSET_STORAGE_TOPIC=offsets \\\n -e STATUS_STORAGE_TOPIC=storage \\\n --link kafka:kafka \\\n --link timescaledb:timescaledb \\\n quay.io/debezium/connect:3.0\n ```\n Check the output log to see that Kafka Connect is running.\n\n\n1. **Register the Debezium Postgres source connector**\n\n Update the `` for the `` you created in your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance in the following command.\n Then run the command in another Terminal window:\n ```bash\n curl -X POST http://localhost:8083/connectors \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\n \"name\": \"timescaledb-connector\",\n \"config\": {\n \"connector.class\": \"io.debezium.connector.postgresql.PostgresConnector\",\n \"database.hostname\": \"timescaledb\",\n \"database.port\": \"5432\",\n \"database.user\": \"\",\n \"database.password\": \"\",\n \"database.dbname\" : \"postgres\",\n \"topic.prefix\": \"accounts\",\n \"plugin.name\": \"pgoutput\",\n \"schema.include.list\": \"public,_timescaledb_internal\",\n \"transforms\": \"timescaledb\",\n \"transforms.timescaledb.type\": \"io.debezium.connector.postgresql.transforms.timescaledb.TimescaleDb\",\n \"transforms.timescaledb.database.hostname\": \"timescaledb\",\n \"transforms.timescaledb.database.port\": \"5432\",\n \"transforms.timescaledb.database.user\": \"\",\n \"transforms.timescaledb.database.password\": \"\",\n \"transforms.timescaledb.database.dbname\": \"postgres\"\n }\n }'\n ```\n\n1. **Verify `timescaledb-source-connector` is included in the connector list**\n\n 1.

That is, the machine you run the commands on to move your\ndata from your source database to your target Tiger Cloud service.\n\nBefore you migrate your data:\n\n- Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][created-a-database-service-in-timescale].\n\n Each Tiger Cloud service has a single database that supports the\n [most popular extensions][all-available-extensions]. Tiger Cloud services do not support tablespaces,\n and there is no superuser associated with a service.\n Best practice is to create a Tiger Cloud service with at least 8 CPUs for a smoother experience. A higher-spec instance\n can significantly reduce the overall migration window.\n\n- To ensure that maintenance does not run during the process, [adjust the maintenance window][adjust-maintenance-window].\n\n- [Install Telegraf][install-telegraf]\n\n\n## Link Telegraf to your service\n\nTo create a Telegraf configuration that exports data to a hypertable in your service:\n\n1. **Set up your service connection string**\n\n This variable holds the connection information for the target Tiger Cloud service.\n\nIn the terminal on the source machine, set the following:\n\n```bash\nexport TARGET=postgres://tsdbadmin:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\n```\nSee where to [find your connection details][connection-info].\n\n1. **Generate a Telegraf configuration file**\n\n In Terminal, run the following:\n\n ```bash\n telegraf --input-filter=cpu --output-filter=postgresql config > telegraf.conf\n ```\n\n `telegraf.conf` configures a CPU input plugin that samples\n various metrics about CPU usage, and the Postgres output plugin. `telegraf.conf`\n also includes all available input, output, processor, and aggregator\n plugins. These are commented out by default.\n\n1. **Test the configuration**\n\n ```bash\n telegraf --config telegraf.conf --test\n ```\n\n You see an output similar to the following:\n\n ```bash\n 2022-11-28T12:53:44Z I!

This page shows how to run real-time analytical queries\nagainst a Tiger Cloud service through Supabase using a foreign data wrapper (fdw) to bring aggregated data from your\nTiger Cloud service.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n- Create a [Supabase project][supabase-new-project]\n\n## Set up your Tiger Cloud service\n\nTo set up a Tiger Cloud service optimized for analytics to receive data from Supabase:\n\n1. **Optimize time-series data in hypertables**\n\n Time-series data represents how a system, process, or behavior changes over time. [Hypertables][hypertables-section]\n are Postgres tables that help you improve insert and query performance by automatically partitioning your data by\n time.\n\n 1. [Connect to your Tiger Cloud service][connect] and create a table that will point to a Supabase database:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE signs (\n time timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),\n origin_time timestamptz NOT NULL,\n name TEXT\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Optimize cooling data for analytics**\n\n Hypercore is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB, designed specifically for real-time analytics\n and powered by time-series data. The advantage of hypercore is its ability to seamlessly switch between row-oriented\n and column-oriented storage. This flexibility enables TimescaleDB to deliver the best of both worlds, solving the\n key challenges in real-time analytics.\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE signs SET (\n timescaledb.enable_columnstore = true,\n timescaledb.segmentby = 'name');\n ```\n\n1. **Create optimized analytical queries**\n\n Continuous aggregates are designed to make queries on very large datasets run\n faster. Continuous aggregates in Tiger Cloud use Postgres [materialized views][postgres-materialized-views] to\n continuously, and incrementally refresh a query in the background, so that when you run the query,\n only the data that has changed needs to be computed, not the entire dataset.\n\n 1. Create a continuous aggregate pointing to the Supabase database.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW IF NOT EXISTS signs_per_minute\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous)\n AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 minute', time) as ts,\n name,\n count(*) as total\n FROM signs\n GROUP BY 1, 2\n WITH NO DATA;\n ```\n\n 1. Setup a delay stats comparing `origin_time` to `time`.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW IF NOT EXISTS _signs_per_minute_delay\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous)\n AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 minute', time) as ts,\n stats_agg(extract(epoch from origin_time - time)::float8) as delay_agg,\n candlestick_agg(time, extract(epoch from origin_time - time)::float8, 1) as delay_candlestick\n FROM signs GROUP BY 1\n WITH NO DATA;\n ```\n\n 1. Setup a view to recieve the data from Supabase.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE VIEW signs_per_minute_delay\n AS\n SELECT ts,\n average(delay_agg) as avg_delay,\n stddev(delay_agg) as stddev_delay,\n open(delay_candlestick) as open,\n high(delay_candlestick) as high,\n low(delay_candlestick) as low,\n close(delay_candlestick) as close\n FROM _signs_per_minute_delay\n ```\n\n1. **Add refresh policies for your analytical queries**\n\n You use `start_offset` and `end_offset` to define the time range that the continuous aggregate will cover. Assuming\n that the data is being inserted without any delay, set the `start_offset` to `5 minutes` and the `end_offset` to\n `1 minute`. This means that the continuous aggregate is refreshed every minute, and the refresh covers the last 5\n minutes.\n You set `schedule_interval` to `INTERVAL '1 minute'` so the continuous aggregate refreshes on your Tiger Cloud service\n every minute. The data is accessed from Supabase, and the continuous aggregate is refreshed every minute in\n the other side.\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('signs_per_minute',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '5 minutes',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 minute',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 minute');\n ```\n Do the same thing for data inserted with a delay:\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('_signs_per_minute_delay',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '5 minutes',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 minute',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 minute');\n ```\n\n\n## Set up a Supabase database\n\nTo set up a Supabase database that injects data into your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n1. **Connect a foreign server in Supabase to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n 1. Connect to your Supabase project using Supabase dashboard or psql.\n 1. Enable the `postgres_fdw` extension.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw;\n ```\n 1. Create a foreign server that points to your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n Update the following command with your [connection details][connection-info], then run it\n in the Supabase database:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SERVER timescale\n FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw\n OPTIONS (\n host '',\n port '',\n dbname '',\n sslmode 'require',\n extensions 'timescaledb'\n );\n ```\n\n1. **Create the user mapping for the foreign server**\n\n Update the following command with your [connection details][connection-info], the run it\n in the Supabase database:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE USER MAPPING FOR CURRENT_USER\n SERVER timescale\n OPTIONS (\n user '',\n password ''\n );\n ```\n\n1. **Create a foreign table that points to a table in your Tiger Cloud service.**\n\n This query introduced the following columns:\n - `time`: with a default value of `now()`. This is because the `time` column is used by Tiger Cloud to optimize data\n in the columnstore.\n - `origin_time`: store the original timestamp of the data.\n\n Using both columns, you understand the delay between Supabase (`origin_time`) and the time the data is\n inserted into your Tiger Cloud service (`time`).\n\n ```sql\n CREATE FOREIGN TABLE signs (\n TIME timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),\n origin_time timestamptz NOT NULL,\n NAME TEXT)\n SERVER timescale OPTIONS (\n schema_name 'public',\n table_name 'signs'\n );\n ```\n\n1. **Create a foreign table in Supabase**\n\n 1. Create a foreign table that matches the `signs_per_minute` view in your Tiger Cloud service. It represents a top level\n view of the data.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE FOREIGN TABLE signs_per_minute (\n ts timestamptz,\n name text,\n total int\n )\n SERVER timescale OPTIONS (schema_name 'public', table_name 'signs_per_minute');\n ```\n\n 1. Create a foreign table that matches the `signs_per_minute_delay` view in your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE FOREIGN TABLE signs_per_minute_delay (\n ts timestamptz,\n avg_delay float8,\n stddev_delay float8,\n open float8,\n high float8,\n low float8,\n close float8\n ) SERVER timescale OPTIONS (schema_name 'public', table_name 'signs_per_minute_delay');\n ```\n\n## Test the integration\n\nTo inject data into your Tiger Cloud service from a Supabase database using a foreign table:\n\n1. **Insert data into your Supabase database**\n\n Connect to Supabase and run the following query:\n\n ```sql\n INSERT INTO signs (origin_time, name) VALUES (now(), 'test')\n ```\n\n1. **Check the data in your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n [Connect to your Tiger Cloud service][connect] and run the following query:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * from signs;\n ```\n You see something like:\n\n | origin_time | time | name |\n |-------------|------|------|\n | 2025-02-27 16:30:04.682391+00 | 2025-02-27 16:30:04.682391+00 | test |\n\nYou have successfully integrated Supabase with your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/index/ =====\n\n# Integrations\n\nYou can integrate your Tiger Cloud service with third-party solutions to expand and extend what you can do with your data.\n\n## Integrates with Postgres?

This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n* Set up an [AWS Account][aws-sign-up].\n* Install and configure [AWS CLI][install-aws-cli].\n* Install [NodeJS v18.x or later][install-nodejs].\n\n\n## Prepare your Tiger Cloud service to ingest data from AWS Lambda\n\nCreate a table in Tiger Cloud service to store time-series data.\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n For Tiger Cloud, open an [SQL editor][run-queries] in [Tiger Cloud Console][open-console]. For self-hosted TimescaleDB, use [`psql`][psql].\n\n1. **Create a hypertable to store sensor data**\n\n [Hypertables][about-hypertables] are Postgres tables that automatically partition your data by time. You interact\n with hypertables in the same way as regular Postgres tables, but with extra features that make managing your\n time-series data much easier.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE sensor_data (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n sensor_id TEXT NOT NULL,\n value DOUBLE PRECISION NOT NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n## Create the code to inject data into a Tiger Cloud service\n\nWrite an AWS Lambda function in a Node.js project that processes and inserts time-series data into a Tiger Cloud service.\n\n1. **Initialize a new Node.js project to hold your Lambda function**\n\n ```shell\n mkdir lambda-timescale && cd lambda-timescale\n npm init -y\n ```\n\n1. **Install the Postgres client library in your project**\n\n ```shell\n npm install pg\n ```\n\n1. **Write a Lambda Function that inserts data into your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n Create a file named `index.js`, then add the following code:\n\n ```javascript\n const {\n Client\n } = require('pg');\n\n exports.handler = async (event) => {\n const client = new Client({\n host: process.env.TIMESCALE_HOST,\n port: process.env.TIMESCALE_PORT,\n user: process.env.TIMESCALE_USER,\n password: process.env.TIMESCALE_PASSWORD,\n database: process.env.TIMESCALE_DB,\n });\n\n try {\n await client.connect();\n //\n const query = `\n INSERT INTO sensor_data (time, sensor_id, value)\n VALUES ($1, $2, $3);\n `;\n\n const data = JSON.parse(event.body);\n const values = [new Date(), data.sensor_id, data.value];\n\n await client.query(query, values);\n\n return {\n statusCode: 200,\n body: JSON.stringify({\n message: 'Data inserted successfully!'\n }),\n };\n } catch (error) {\n console.error('Error inserting data:', error);\n return {\n statusCode: 500,\n body: JSON.stringify({\n error: 'Failed to insert data.'\n }),\n };\n } finally {\n await client.end();\n }\n\n };\n ```\n\n## Deploy your Node project to AWS Lambda\n\nTo create an AWS Lambda function that injects data into your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n1. **Compress your code into a `.zip`**\n\n ```shell\n zip -r lambda-timescale.zip .\n ```\n\n1. **Deploy to AWS Lambda**\n\n In the following example, replace `` with your [AWS IAM credentials][aws-iam-role], then use\n AWS CLI to create a Lambda function for your project:\n\n ```shell\n aws lambda create-function \\\n --function-name TimescaleIntegration \\\n --runtime nodejs14.x \\\n --role \\\n --handler index.handler \\\n --zip-file fileb://lambda-timescale.zip\n ```\n\n1. **Set up environment variables**\n\n In the following example, use your [connection details][connection-info] to add your Tiger Cloud service connection settings to your Lambda function:\n ```shell\n aws lambda update-function-configuration \\\n --function-name TimescaleIntegration \\\n --environment \"Variables={TIMESCALE_HOST=,TIMESCALE_PORT=, \\\n TIMESCALE_USER=,TIMESCALE_PASSWORD=, \\\n TIMESCALE_DB=}\"\n ```\n\n1. **Test your AWS Lambda function**\n\n 1. Invoke the Lambda function and send some data to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```shell\n aws lambda invoke \\\n --function-name TimescaleIntegration \\\n --payload '{\"body\": \"{\\\"sensor_id\\\": \\\"sensor-123\\\", \\\"value\\\": 42.5}\"}' \\\n --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \\\n response.json\n ```\n\n 1. Verify that the data is in your service.\n\n Open an [SQL editor][run-queries] and check the `sensor_data` table:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM sensor_data;\n ```\n You see something like:\n\n | time | sensor_id | value |\n |-- |-- |--------|\n | 2025-02-10 10:58:45.134912+00 | \tsensor-123 | \t42.5 |\n\nYou can now seamlessly ingest time-series data from AWS Lambda into Tiger Cloud.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/postgresql/ =====\n\n# Integrate with PostgreSQL\n\n\n\nYou use Postgres foreign data wrappers (FDWs) to query external data sources from a Tiger Cloud service. These external data sources can be one of the following:\n\n- Other Tiger Cloud services\n- Postgres databases outside of Tiger Cloud\n\nIf you are using VPC peering, you can create FDWs in your Customer VPC to query a service in your Tiger Cloud project. However, you can't create FDWs in your Tiger Cloud services to query a data source in your Customer VPC. This is because Tiger Cloud VPC peering uses AWS PrivateLink for increased security. See [VPC peering documentation][vpc-peering] for additional details.\n\nPostgres FDWs are particularly useful if you manage multiple Tiger Cloud services with different capabilities, and need to seamlessly access and merge regular and time-series data.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Query another data source\n\nTo query another data source:\n\n\n\n\n\nYou create Postgres FDWs with the `postgres_fdw` extension, which is enabled by default in Tiger Cloud.\n\n1. **Connect to your service**\n\n See [how to connect][connect].\n\n1. **Create a server**\n\n Run the following command using your [connection details][connection-info]:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SERVER myserver\n FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw\n OPTIONS (host '', dbname 'tsdb', port '');\n ```\n\n1. **Create user mapping**\n\n Run the following command using your [connection details][connection-info]:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE USER MAPPING FOR tsdbadmin\n SERVER myserver\n OPTIONS (user 'tsdbadmin', password '');\n ```\n\n1. **Import a foreign schema (recommended) or create a foreign table**\n\n - Import the whole schema:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SCHEMA foreign_stuff;\n\n IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public\n FROM SERVER myserver\n INTO foreign_stuff ;\n ```\n\n - Alternatively, import a limited number of tables:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SCHEMA foreign_stuff;\n\n IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public\n LIMIT TO (table1, table2)\n FROM SERVER myserver\n INTO foreign_stuff;\n ```\n\n - Create a foreign table. Skip if you are importing a schema:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE FOREIGN TABLE films (\n code char(5) NOT NULL,\n title varchar(40) NOT NULL,\n did integer NOT NULL,\n date_prod date,\n kind varchar(10),\n len interval hour to minute\n )\n SERVER film_server;\n ```\n\n\nA user with the `tsdbadmin` role assigned already has the required `USAGE` permission to create Postgres FDWs. You can enable another user, without the `tsdbadmin` role assigned, to query foreign data. To do so, explicitly grant the permission. For example, for a new `grafana` user:\n\n```sql\nCREATE USER grafana;\n\nGRANT grafana TO tsdbadmin;\n\nCREATE SCHEMA fdw AUTHORIZATION grafana;\n\nCREATE SERVER db1 FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw\nOPTIONS (host '', dbname 'tsdb', port '');\n\nCREATE USER MAPPING FOR grafana SERVER db1\nOPTIONS (user 'tsdbadmin', password '');\n\nGRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER db1 TO grafana;\n\nSET ROLE grafana;\n\nIMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public\n FROM SERVER db1\n INTO fdw;\n```\n\n\n\n\n\nYou create Postgres FDWs with the `postgres_fdw` extension. See [documenation][enable-fdw-docs] on how to enable it.\n\n1. **Connect to your database**\n\n Use [`psql`][psql] to connect to your database.\n\n1. **Create a server**\n\n Run the following command using your [connection details][connection-info]:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SERVER myserver\n FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw\n OPTIONS (host '', dbname '', port '');\n ```\n\n1. **Create user mapping**\n\n Run the following command using your [connection details][connection-info]:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres\n SERVER myserver\n OPTIONS (user 'postgres', password '');\n ```\n\n1. **Import a foreign schema (recommended) or create a foreign table**\n\n - Import the whole schema:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SCHEMA foreign_stuff;\n\n IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public\n FROM SERVER myserver\n INTO foreign_stuff ;\n ```\n\n - Alternatively, import a limited number of tables:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE SCHEMA foreign_stuff;\n\n IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public\n LIMIT TO (table1, table2)\n FROM SERVER myserver\n INTO foreign_stuff;\n ```\n\n - Create a foreign table. Skip if you are importing a schema:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE FOREIGN TABLE films (\n code char(5) NOT NULL,\n title varchar(40) NOT NULL,\n did integer NOT NULL,\n date_prod date,\n kind varchar(10),\n len interval hour to minute\n )\n SERVER film_server;\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/power-bi/ =====\n\n# Integrate Power BI with Tiger\n\n\n\n[Power BI][power-bi] is a business analytics tool for visualizing data, creating interactive reports, and sharing insights across an organization.\n\nThis page explains how to integrate Power BI with Tiger Cloud using the Postgres ODBC driver, so that you can build interactive reports based on the data in your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info].

[Apache Kafka Connect][kafka-connect] is a tool to scalably and reliably\nstream data between Apache Kafka® and other data systems. Kafka Connect is an ecosystem of pre-written and maintained\nKafka Producers (source connectors) and Kafka Consumers (sink connectors) for data products and platforms like\ndatabases and message brokers.\n\nThis guide explains how to set up Kafka and Kafka Connect to stream data from a Kafka topic into your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n- [Java8 or higher][java-installers] to run Apache Kafka\n\n## Install and configure Apache Kafka\n\nTo install and configure Apache Kafka:\n\n1. **Extract the Kafka binaries to a local folder**\n\n ```bash\n curl https://dlcdn.apache.org/kafka/3.9.0/kafka_2.13-3.9.0.tgz | tar -xzf -\n cd kafka_2.13-3.9.0\n ```\n From now on, the folder where you extracted the Kafka binaries is called ``.\n\n1. **Configure and run Apache Kafka**\n\n ```bash\n KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID=\"$(bin/kafka-storage.sh random-uuid)\"\n ./bin/kafka-storage.sh format --standalone -t $KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID -c config/kraft/reconfig-server.properties\n ./bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/kraft/reconfig-server.properties\n ```\n Use the `-daemon` flag to run this process in the background.\n\n1. **Create Kafka topics**\n\n In another Terminal window, navigate to , then call `kafka-topics.sh` and create the following topics:\n - `accounts`: publishes JSON messages that are consumed by the timescale-sink connector and inserted into your Tiger Cloud service.\n - `deadletter`: stores messages that cause errors and that Kafka Connect workers cannot process.\n\n ```bash\n ./bin/kafka-topics.sh \\\n --create \\\n --topic accounts \\\n --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 \\\n --partitions 10\n\n ./bin/kafka-topics.sh \\\n --create \\\n --topic deadletter \\\n --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 \\\n --partitions 10\n ```\n\n1. **Test that your topics are working correctly**\n 1.

Click `Save & test`.\n\n Grafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n## Create a Grafana dashboard and panel\n\nGrafana is organized into dashboards and panels. A dashboard represents a\nview into the performance of a system, and each dashboard consists of one or\nmore panels, which represent information about a specific metric related to\nthat system.\n\nTo create a new dashboard:\n\n1. **On the `Dashboards` page, click `New` and select `New dashboard`**\n\n1. **Click `Add visualization`**\n\n1. **Select the data source**\n\n Select your service from the list of pre-configured data sources or configure a new one.\n\n1. **Configure your panel**\n\n Select the visualization type. The type defines specific fields to configure in addition to standard ones, such as the panel name.\n\n1. **Run your queries**\n\n You can edit the queries directly or use the built-in query editor. If you are visualizing time-series data, select `Time series` in the `Format` drop-down.\n\n1. **Click `Save dashboard`**\n\n You now have a dashboard with one panel. Add more panels to a dashboard by clicking `Add` at the top right and selecting `Visualization` from the drop-down.\n\n## Use the time filter function\n\nGrafana time-series panels include a time filter:\n\n1. **Call `_timefilter()` to link the user interface construct in a Grafana panel with the query**\n\n For example, to set the `pickup_datetime` column as the filtering range for your visualizations:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n --1--\n time_bucket('1 day', pickup_datetime) AS \"time\",\n --2--\n COUNT(*)\n FROM rides\n WHERE _timeFilter(pickup_datetime)\n ```\n\n1. **Group your visualizations and order the results by [time buckets][time-buckets]**\n\n In this case, the `GROUP BY` and `ORDER BY` statements reference `time`.\n\n For example:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n --1--\n time_bucket('1 day', pickup_datetime) AS time,\n --2--\n COUNT(*)\n FROM rides\n WHERE _timeFilter(pickup_datetime)\n GROUP BY time\n ORDER BY time\n ```\n\n When you visualize this query in Grafana, you see this:\n\n ![Tiger Cloud service and Grafana query results](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/grafana_query_results.png)\n\n You can adjust the `time_bucket` function and compare the graphs:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n --1--\n time_bucket('5m', pickup_datetime) AS time,\n --2--\n COUNT(*)\n FROM rides\n WHERE _timeFilter(pickup_datetime)\n GROUP BY time\n ORDER BY time\n ```\n\n When you visualize this query, it looks like this:\n\n ![Tiger Cloud service and Grafana query results in time buckets](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/grafana_query_results_5m.png)\n\n## Visualize geospatial data\n\nGrafana includes a Geomap panel so you can see geospatial data\noverlaid on a map. This can be helpful to understand how data\nchanges based on its location.\n\nThis section visualizes taxi rides in Manhattan, where the distance traveled\nwas greater than 5 miles. It uses the same query as the [NYC Taxi Cab][nyc-taxi]\ntutorial as a starting point.\n\n1. **Add a geospatial visualization**\n\n 1. In your Grafana dashboard, click `Add` > `Visualization`.\n\n 1. Select `Geomap` in the visualization type drop-down at the top right.\n\n1. **Configure the data format**\n\n 1. In the `Queries` tab below, select your data source.\n\n 1. In the `Format` drop-down, select `Table`.\n\n 1. In the mode switcher, toggle `Code` and enter the query, then click `Run`.\n\n For example:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('5m', rides.pickup_datetime) AS time,\n rides.trip_distance AS value,\n rides.pickup_latitude AS latitude,\n rides.pickup_longitude AS longitude\n FROM rides\n WHERE rides.trip_distance > 5\n GROUP BY time,\n rides.trip_distance,\n rides.pickup_latitude,\n rides.pickup_longitude\n ORDER BY time\n LIMIT 500;\n ```\n\n1. **Customize the Geomap settings**\n\n With default settings, the visualization uses green circles of the fixed size. Configure at least the following for a more representative view:\n\n - `Map layers` > `Styles` > `Size` > `value`.\n\n This changes the size of the circle depending on the value, with bigger circles representing bigger values.\n\n - `Map layers` > `Styles` > `Color` > `value`.\n\n - `Thresholds` > Add `threshold`.\n\n Add thresholds for 7 and 10, to mark rides over 7 and 10 miles in different colors, respectively.\n\n You now have a visualization that looks like this:\n\n ![Tiger Cloud service and Grafana integration](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/timescale-grafana-integration.png)\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/integrations/dbeaver/ =====\n\n# Integrate DBeaver with Tiger\n\n\n\n[DBeaver][dbeaver] is a free cross-platform database tool for developers, database administrators, analysts, and everyone working with data.

You use them to synchronize all or some of your data to your Tiger Cloud service in real time. You run the connectors continuously, using your data as a primary database and your Tiger Cloud service as a logical replica. This enables you\nto leverage Tiger Cloud’s real-time analytics capabilities on your replica data.\n\n| Connector options | Downtime requirements |\n|------------------------------------------|-----------------------|\n| [Source Postgres connector][livesync-postgres] | None |\n| [Source S3 connector][livesync-s3] | None |\n| [Source Kafka connector][livesync-kafka] | None |\n\n\n## Import individual files\n\nYou can [import individual files using Console][import-console], from your local machine or S3. This includes CSV, Parquet, TXT, and MD files. Alternatively, [import files using the terminal][import-terminal].\n\n## Migrate your data\n\nDepending on the amount of data you need to migrate, and the amount of downtime you can afford, Tiger Data offers the following migration options:\n\n| Migration strategy | Use when | Downtime requirements |\n|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|\n| [Migrate with downtime][pg-dump-restore] | Use `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` to migrate when you can afford downtime. | Some downtime |\n| [Live migration][live-migration] | Simplified end-to-end migration with almost zero downtime. | Minimal downtime |\n| [Dual-write and backfill][dual-write] | Append-only data, heavy insert workload (~20,000 inserts per second) when modifying your ingestion pipeline is not an issue. | Minimal downtime |\n\nAll strategies work to migrate from Postgres, TimescaleDB, AWS RDS, and Managed Service for TimescaleDB. Migration\nassistance is included with Tiger Cloud support. If you encounter any difficulties while migrating your data,\nconsult the [troubleshooting] page, open a support request, or take your issue to the `#migration` channel\nin the [community slack](https://timescaledb.slack.com/signup#/domain-signup), the developers of this migration method are there to help.\n\nYou can open a support request directly from [Tiger Cloud Console][support-link],\nor by email to [support@tigerdata.com](mailto:support@tigerdata.com).\n\nIf you're migrating your data from another source database type, best practice is export the data from your source database as\na CSV file, then import to your Tiger Cloud service using [timescaledb-parallel-copy][import-terminal].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/migrate/dual-write-and-backfill/ =====\n\n# Low-downtime migrations with dual-write and backfill\n\n\n\nDual-write and backfill is a migration strategy to move a large amount of\ntime-series data (100 GB-10 TB+) with low downtime (on the order of\nminutes of downtime). It is significantly more complicated to execute than a\nmigration with downtime using [pg_dump/restore][pg-dump-and-restore], and has\nsome prerequisites on the data ingest patterns of your application, so it may\nnot be universally applicable.\n\nDual-write and backfill can be used for any source database type, as long as it\ncan provide data in csv format. It can be used to move data from a PostgresSQL\nsource, and from TimescaleDB to TimescaleDB.\n\nDual-write and backfill works well when:\n1. The bulk of the (on-disk) data is in time-series tables.\n1. Writes by the application do not reference historical time-series data.\n1. Writes to time-series data are append-only.\n1. No `UPDATE` or `DELETE` queries will be run on time-series data in the\n source database during the migration process (or if they are, it happens in\n a controlled manner, such that it's possible to either ignore, or\n re-backfill).\n1. Either the relational (non-time-series) data is small enough to be copied\n from source to target in an acceptable amount of time for this to be done\n with downtime, or the relational data can be copied asynchronously while the\n application continues to run (that is, changes relatively infrequently).\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBest practice is to use an [Ubuntu EC2 instance][create-ec2-instance] hosted in the same region as your\nTiger Cloud service to move data. That is, the machine you run the commands on to move your\ndata from your source database to your target Tiger Cloud service.\n\nBefore you move your data:\n\n- Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][created-a-database-service-in-timescale].\n\n Each Tiger Cloud service has a single Postgres instance that supports the\n [most popular extensions][all-available-extensions]. Tiger Cloud services do not support tablespaces,\n and there is no superuser associated with a service.\n Best practice is to create a Tiger Cloud service with at least 8 CPUs for a smoother experience. A higher-spec instance\n can significantly reduce the overall migration window.\n\n- To ensure that maintenance does not run while migration is in progress, best practice is to [adjust the maintenance window][adjust-maintenance-window].\n\n## Migrate to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo move your data from a self-hosted database to a Tiger Cloud service:\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/getting-started/index/ =====\n\n# Get started with Tiger Data\n\n\n\nA Tiger Cloud service is a single optimised Postgres instance extended with innovations in the database engine such as\nTimescaleDB, in a cloud infrastructure that delivers speed without sacrifice.\n\nA Tiger Cloud service is a radically faster Postgres database for transactional, analytical, and agentic\nworkloads at scale.\n\nIt’s not a fork.

You also have the flexibility to create different index types suited to your needs. See the [vector search indexing][vector-search-indexing] section for more information.\n\n\nEmbeddings offer a way to represent the semantic essence of data and to allow comparing data according to how closely related it is in terms of meaning. In the database context, this is extremely powerful: think of this as full-text search on steroids. Vector databases allow storing embeddings associated with data and then searching for embeddings that are similar to a given query.\n\n- Semantic search: transcend the limitations of traditional keyword-driven search methods by creating systems that understand the intent and contextual meaning of a query, thereby returning more relevant results. Semantic search doesn't just seek exact word matches; it grasps the deeper intent behind a user's query. The result? Even if search terms differ in phrasing, relevant results are surfaced. Taking advantage of hybrid search, which marries lexical and semantic search methodologies, offers users a search experience that's both rich and accurate. It's not just about finding direct matches anymore; it's about tapping into contextually and conceptually similar content to meet user needs.\n\n- Recommendation systems: imagine a user who has shown interest in several articles on a singular topic. With embeddings, the recommendation engine can delve deep into the semantic essence of those articles, surfacing other database items that resonate with the same theme. Recommendations, thus, move beyond just the superficial layers like tags or categories and dive into the very heart of the content.\n\n- Retrieval augmented generation (RAG): supercharge generative AI by providing additional context to Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude 2, and open source modes like Llama 2. When a user poses a query, relevant database content is fetched and used to supplement the query as additional information for the LLM. This helps reduce LLM hallucinations, as it ensures the model's output is more grounded in specific and relevant information, even if it wasn't part of the model's original training data.\n\n- Clustering: embeddings also offer a robust solution for clustering data. Transforming data into these vectorized forms allows for nuanced comparisons between data points in a high-dimensional space. Through algorithms like K-means or hierarchical clustering, data can be categorized into semantic categories, offering insights that surface-level attributes might miss. This surfaces inherent data patterns, enriching both exploration and decision-making processes.\n\n\n### Vector similarity search: How does it work\n\nOn a high level, embeddings help a database to look for data that is similar to a given piece of information (similarity search). This process includes a few steps:\n\n- First, embeddings are created for data and inserted into the database. This can take place either in an application or in the database itself.\n- Second, when a user has a search query (for example, a question in chat), that query is then transformed into an embedding.\n- Third, the database takes the query embedding and searches for the closest matching (most similar) embeddings it has stored.\n\nUnder the hood, embeddings are represented as a vector (a list of numbers) that capture the essence of the data. To determine the similarity of two pieces of data, the database uses mathematical operations on vectors to get a distance measure (commonly Euclidean or cosine distance). During a search, the database should return those stored items where the distance between the query embedding and the stored embedding is as small as possible, suggesting the items are most similar.\n\n\n### Embedding models\n\npgai on Tiger Cloud works with the most popular embedding models that have output vectors of 2,000 dimensions or less.:\n\n- [OpenAI embedding models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings/): text-embedding-ada-002 is OpenAI's recommended embedding generation model.\n- [Cohere representation models](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models#representation): Cohere offers many models that can be used to generate embeddings from text in English or multiple languages.\n\n\nAnd here are some popular choices for image embeddings:\n\n- [OpenAI CLIP](https://github.com/openai/CLIP): Useful for applications involving text and images.\n- [VGG](https://docs.pytorch.org/vision/stable/models/vgg.html)\n- [Vision Transformer (ViT)](https://github.com/lukemelas/PyTorch-Pretrained-ViT)\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hyperfunctions/ =====\n\n# Hyperfunctions\n\nHyperfunctions in TimescaleDB are a specialized set of functions that allow you to\nanalyze time-series data.

The tutorial sets up a data pipeline\nto ingest real-time data from our data partner, [Twelve Data][twelve-data].\nTwelve Data provides a number of different financial APIs, including stock,\ncryptocurrencies, foreign exchanges, and ETFs. It also supports websocket\nconnections in case you want to update your database frequently. With\nwebsockets, you need to connect to the server, subscribe to symbols, and you can\nstart receiving data in real-time during market hours.\n\nWhen you complete this tutorial, you'll have a data pipeline set\nup that ingests real-time financial data into your Tiger Cloud.\n\nThis tutorial uses Python and the API\n[wrapper library][twelve-wrapper] provided by Twelve Data.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have:\n\n* Signed up for a [free Tiger Data account][cloud-install].\n* Downloaded the file that contains your Tiger Cloud service credentials such as\n ``, ``, and ``. Alternatively, you can find these\n details in the `Connection Info` section for your service.\n* Installed Python 3\n* Signed up for [Twelve Data][twelve-signup]. The free tier is\n perfect for this tutorial.\n* Made a note of your Twelve Data [API key](https://twelvedata.com/account/api-keys).\n\n\n\nWhen you connect to the Twelve Data API through a websocket, you create a\npersistent connection between your computer and the websocket server.\nYou set up a Python environment, and pass two arguments to create a\nwebsocket object and establish the connection.\n\n## Set up a new Python environment\n\nCreate a new Python virtual environment for this project and activate it. All\nthe packages you need to complete for this tutorial are installed in this environment.\n\n### Setting up a new Python environment\n\n1. Create and activate a Python virtual environment:\n\n ```bash\n virtualenv env\n source env/bin/activate\n ```\n\n1. Install the Twelve Data Python\n [wrapper library][twelve-wrapper]\n with websocket support. This library allows you to make requests to the\n API and maintain a stable websocket connection.\n\n ```bash\n pip install twelvedata websocket-client\n ```\n\n1. Install [Psycopg2][psycopg2] so that you can connect the\n TimescaleDB from your Python script:\n\n ```bash\n pip install psycopg2-binary\n ```\n\n## Create the websocket connection\n\nA persistent connection between your computer and the websocket server is used\nto receive data for as long as the connection is maintained. You need to pass\ntwo arguments to create a websocket object and establish connection.\n\n### Websocket arguments\n\n* `on_event`\n\n This argument needs to be a function that is invoked whenever there's a\n new data record is received from the websocket:\n\n ```python\n def on_event(event):\n print(event) # prints out the data record (dictionary)\n ```\n\n This is where you want to implement the ingestion logic so whenever\n there's new data available you insert it into the database.\n\n* `symbols`\n\n This argument needs to be a list of stock ticker symbols (for example,\n `MSFT`) or crypto trading pairs (for example, `BTC/USD`). When using a\n websocket connection you always need to subscribe to the events you want to\n receive. You can do this by using the `symbols` argument or if your\n connection is already created you can also use the `subscribe()` function to\n get data for additional symbols.\n\n### Connecting to the websocket server\n\n1. Create a new Python file called `websocket_test.py` and connect to the\n Twelve Data servers using the ``:\n\n ```python\n import time\n from twelvedata import TDClient\n\n messages_history = []\n\n def on_event(event):\n print(event) # prints out the data record (dictionary)\n messages_history.append(event)\n\n td = TDClient(apikey=\"\")\n ws = td.websocket(symbols=[\"BTC/USD\", \"ETH/USD\"], on_event=on_event)\n ws.subscribe(['ETH/BTC', 'AAPL'])\n ws.connect()\n while True:\n print('messages received: ', len(messages_history))\n ws.heartbeat()\n time.sleep(10)\n ```\n\n1. Run the Python script:\n\n ```bash\n python websocket_test.py\n ```\n\n1. When you run the script, you receive a response from the server about the\n status of your connection:\n\n ```bash\n {'event': 'subscribe-status',\n 'status': 'ok',\n 'success': [\n {'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'mic_code': 'Coinbase Pro', 'country': '', 'type': 'Digital Currency'},\n {'symbol': 'ETH/USD', 'exchange': 'Huobi', 'mic_code': 'Huobi', 'country': '', 'type': 'Digital Currency'}\n ],\n 'fails': None\n }\n ```\n\n When you have established a connection to the websocket server,\n wait a few seconds, and you can see data records, like this:\n\n ```bash\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'currency_base': 'Bitcoin', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438893, 'price': 30361.2, 'bid': 30361.2, 'ask': 30361.2, 'day_volume': 49153}\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'currency_base': 'Bitcoin', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438896, 'price': 30380.6, 'bid': 30380.6, 'ask': 30380.6, 'day_volume': 49157}\n {'event': 'heartbeat', 'status': 'ok'}\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'ETH/USD', 'currency_base': 'Ethereum', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Huobi', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438899, 'price': 2089.07, 'bid': 2089.02, 'ask': 2089.03, 'day_volume': 193818}\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'currency_base': 'Bitcoin', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438900, 'price': 30346.0, 'bid': 30346.0, 'ask': 30346.0, 'day_volume': 49167}\n ```\n\n Each price event gives you multiple data points about the given trading pair\n such as the name of the exchange, and the current price. You can also\n occasionally see `heartbeat` events in the response; these events signal\n the health of the connection over time.\n At this point the websocket connection is working successfully to pass data.\n\n\n\n\n\nTo ingest the data into your Tiger Cloud service, you need to implement the\n`on_event` function.\n\nAfter the websocket connection is set up, you can use the `on_event` function\nto ingest data into the database. This is a data pipeline that ingests real-time\nfinancial data into your Tiger Cloud service.\n\nStock trades are ingested in real-time Monday through Friday, typically during\nnormal trading hours of the New York Stock Exchange (9:30 AM to\n4:00 PM EST).\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Create a hypertable to store the real-time stock data**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE stocks_real_time (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n symbol TEXT NOT NULL,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n day_volume INT NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Create an index to support efficient queries**\n\n Index on the `symbol` and `time` columns:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX ix_symbol_time ON stocks_real_time (symbol, time DESC);\n ```\n\n## Create standard Postgres tables for relational data\n\nWhen you have other relational data that enhances your time-series data, you can\ncreate standard Postgres tables just as you would normally. For this dataset,\nthere is one other table of data called `company`.\n\n1. **Add a table to store the company data**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE company (\n symbol TEXT NOT NULL,\n name TEXT NOT NULL\n );\n ```\n\nYou now have two tables in your Tiger Cloud service. One hypertable\nnamed `stocks_real_time`, and one regular Postgres table named `company`.\n\nWhen you ingest data into a transactional database like Timescale, it is more\nefficient to insert data in batches rather than inserting data row-by-row. Using\none transaction to insert multiple rows can significantly increase the overall\ningest capacity and speed of your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n## Batching in memory\n\nA common practice to implement batching is to store new records in memory\nfirst, then after the batch reaches a certain size, insert all the records\nfrom memory into the database in one transaction. The perfect batch size isn't\nuniversal, but you can experiment with different batch sizes\n(for example, 100, 1000, 10000, and so on) and see which one fits your use case better.\nUsing batching is a fairly common pattern when ingesting data into TimescaleDB\nfrom Kafka, Kinesis, or websocket connections.\n\nYou can implement a batching solution in Python with Psycopg2.\nYou can implement the ingestion logic within the `on_event` function that\nyou can then pass over to the websocket object.\n\nThis function needs to:\n\n1. Check if the item is a data item, and not websocket metadata.\n1. Adjust the data so that it fits the database schema, including the data\n types, and order of columns.\n1. Add it to the in-memory batch, which is a list in Python.\n1. If the batch reaches a certain size, insert the data, and reset or empty the list.\n\n## Ingesting data in real-time\n\n1. Update the Python script that prints out the current batch size, so you can\n follow when data gets ingested from memory into your database. Use\n the ``, ``, and `` details for the Tiger Cloud service\n where you want to ingest the data and your API key from Twelve Data:\n\n ```python\n import time\n import psycopg2\n\n from twelvedata import TDClient\n from psycopg2.extras import execute_values\n from datetime import datetime\n\n class WebsocketPipeline():\n DB_TABLE = \"stocks_real_time\"\n\n DB_COLUMNS=[\"time\", \"symbol\", \"price\", \"day_volume\"]\n\n MAX_BATCH_SIZE=100\n\n def __init__(self, conn):\n \"\"\"Connect to the Twelve Data web socket server and stream\n data into the database.\n\n Args:\n conn: psycopg2 connection object\n \"\"\"\n self.conn = conn\n self.current_batch = []\n self.insert_counter = 0\n\n def _insert_values(self, data):\n if self.conn is not None:\n cursor = self.conn.cursor()\n sql = f\"\"\"\n INSERT INTO {self.DB_TABLE} ({','.join(self.DB_COLUMNS)})\n VALUES %s;\"\"\"\n execute_values(cursor, sql, data)\n self.conn.commit()\n\n def _on_event(self, event):\n \"\"\"This function gets called whenever there's a new data record coming\n back from the server.\n\n Args:\n event (dict): data record\n \"\"\"\n if event[\"event\"] == \"price\":\n timestamp = datetime.utcfromtimestamp(event[\"timestamp\"])\n data = (timestamp, event[\"symbol\"], event[\"price\"], event.get(\"day_volume\"))\n\n self.current_batch.append(data)\n print(f\"Current batch size: {len(self.current_batch)}\")\n\n if len(self.current_batch) == self.MAX_BATCH_SIZE:\n self._insert_values(self.current_batch)\n self.insert_counter += 1\n print(f\"Batch insert #{self.insert_counter}\")\n self.current_batch = []\n def start(self, symbols):\n \"\"\"Connect to the web socket server and start streaming real-time data\n into the database.\n\n Args:\n symbols (list of symbols): List of stock/crypto symbols\n \"\"\"\n td = TDClient(apikey=\"\",\n user=\"tsdbadmin\",\n password=\"\",\n port=\"\")\n\n symbols = [\"BTC/USD\", \"ETH/USD\", \"MSFT\", \"AAPL\"]\n websocket = WebsocketPipeline(conn)\n websocket.start(symbols=symbols)\n ```\n\n1. Run the script:\n\n ```bash\n python websocket_test.py\n ```\n\nYou can even create separate Python scripts to start multiple websocket\nconnections for different types of symbols, for example, one for stock, and\nanother one for cryptocurrency prices.\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nIf you see an error message similar to this:\n\n```bash\n2022-05-13 18:51:41,976 - ws-twelvedata - ERROR - TDWebSocket ERROR: Handshake status 200 OK\n```\n\nThen check that you use a proper API key received from Twelve Data.\n\n\n\n\n\nTo look at OHLCV values, the most effective way is to create a continuous\naggregate. You can create a continuous aggregate to aggregate data\nfor each hour, then set the aggregate to refresh every hour, and aggregate\nthe last two hours' worth of data.\n\n### Creating a continuous aggregate\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service `tsdb` that contains the Twelve Data\n stocks dataset.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, create the continuous aggregate to aggregate data every\n minute:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_hour_candle\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM stocks_real_time\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol;\n ```\n\n When you create the continuous aggregate, it refreshes by default.\n\n1. Set a refresh policy to update the continuous aggregate every hour,\n if there is new data available in the hypertable for the last two hours:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_hour_candle',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 hours',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n## Query the continuous aggregate\n\nWhen you have your continuous aggregate set up, you can query it to get the\nOHLCV values.\n\n### Querying the continuous aggregate\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Twelve Data\n stocks dataset.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all `AAPL` OHLCV data for the\n past 5 hours, by time bucket:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM one_hour_candle\n WHERE symbol = 'AAPL' AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '5 hours'\n ORDER BY bucket;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n bucket | symbol | open | high | low | close | day_volume\n ------------------------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+------------\n 2023-05-30 08:00:00+00 | AAPL | 176.31 | 176.31 | 176 | 176.01 |\n 2023-05-30 08:01:00+00 | AAPL | 176.27 | 176.27 | 176.02 | 176.2 |\n 2023-05-30 08:06:00+00 | AAPL | 176.03 | 176.04 | 175.95 | 176 |\n 2023-05-30 08:07:00+00 | AAPL | 175.95 | 176 | 175.82 | 175.91 |\n 2023-05-30 08:08:00+00 | AAPL | 175.92 | 176.02 | 175.8 | 176.02 |\n 2023-05-30 08:09:00+00 | AAPL | 176.02 | 176.02 | 175.9 | 175.98 |\n 2023-05-30 08:10:00+00 | AAPL | 175.98 | 175.98 | 175.94 | 175.94 |\n 2023-05-30 08:11:00+00 | AAPL | 175.94 | 175.94 | 175.91 | 175.91 |\n 2023-05-30 08:12:00+00 | AAPL | 175.9 | 175.94 | 175.9 | 175.94 |\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can visualize the OHLCV data that you created using the queries in Grafana.\n## Graph OHLCV data\n\nWhen you have extracted the raw OHLCV data, you can use it to graph the result\nin a candlestick chart, using Grafana. To do this, you need to have Grafana set\nup to connect to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance.\n\n### Graphing OHLCV data\n\n1. Ensure you have Grafana installed, and you are using the TimescaleDB\n database that contains the Twelve Data dataset set up as a\n data source.\n1. In Grafana, from the `Dashboards` menu, click `New Dashboard`. In the\n `New Dashboard` page, click `Add a new panel`.\n1. In the `Visualizations` menu in the top right corner, select `Candlestick`\n from the list. Ensure you have set the Twelve Data dataset as\n your data source.\n1. Click `Edit SQL` and paste in the query you used to get the OHLCV values.\n1. In the `Format as` section, select `Table`.\n1.

This happens either when you are updating existing tuples or have constraints that need to be verified during insert time. If you happen to trigger a lot of rowstore conversion with a single command, you may end up running out of storage space. For this reason, a limit has been put in place on the number of tuples you can decompress into the rowstore for a single command.\n\nThe limit can be increased or turned off (set to 0) like so:\n\n```sql\n-- set limit to a milion tuples\nSET timescaledb.max_tuples_decompressed_per_dml_transaction TO 1000000;\n-- disable limit by setting to 0\nSET timescaledb.max_tuples_decompressed_per_dml_transaction TO 0;\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/caggs-queries-fail/ =====\n\n# Queries fail when defining continuous aggregates but work on regular tables\n\n\nContinuous aggregates do not work on all queries. For example, TimescaleDB does not support window functions on\ncontinuous aggregates. If you use an unsupported function, you see the following error:\n\n```sql\n ERROR: invalid continuous aggregate view\n SQL state: 0A000\n```\n\nThe following table summarizes the aggregate functions supported in continuous aggregates:\n\n| Function, clause, or feature |TimescaleDB 2.6 and earlier|TimescaleDB 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9|TimescaleDB 2.10 and later|\n|------------------------------------------------------------|-|-|-|\n| Parallelizable aggregate functions |✅|✅|✅|\n| [Non-parallelizable SQL aggregates][postgres-parallel-agg] |❌|✅|✅|\n| `ORDER BY` |❌|✅|✅|\n| Ordered-set aggregates |❌|✅|✅|\n| Hypothetical-set aggregates |❌|✅|✅|\n| `DISTINCT` in aggregate functions |❌|✅|✅|\n| `FILTER` in aggregate functions |❌|✅|✅|\n| `FROM` clause supports `JOINS` |❌|❌|✅|\n\n\nDISTINCT works in aggregate functions, not in the query definition. For example, for the table:\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE public.candle(\nsymbol_id uuid NOT NULL,\nsymbol text NOT NULL,\n\"time\" timestamp with time zone NOT NULL,\nopen double precision NOT NULL,\nhigh double precision NOT NULL,\nlow double precision NOT NULL,\nclose double precision NOT NULL,\nvolume double precision NOT NULL\n);\n\n```\n- The following works:\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW candles_start_end\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 hour', \"time\"), COUNT(DISTINCT symbol), first(time, time) as first_candle, last(time, time) as last_candle\n FROM candle\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n- This does not:\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW candles_start_end\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT DISTINCT ON (symbol)\n symbol,symbol_id, first(time, time) as first_candle, last(time, time) as last_candle\n FROM candle\n GROUP BY symbol_id;\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/caggs-real-time-previously-materialized-not-shown/ =====\n\n# Updates to previously materialized regions aren't shown in real-time aggregates\n\n\n\nReal-time aggregates automatically add the most recent data when you query your\ncontinuous aggregate. In other words, they include data _more recent than_ your\nlast materialized bucket.\n\nIf you add new _historical_ data to an already-materialized bucket, it won't be\nreflected in a real-time aggregate. You should wait for the next scheduled\nrefresh, or manually refresh by calling `refresh_continuous_aggregate`. You can\nthink of real-time aggregates as being eventually consistent for historical\ndata.\n\nThe following example shows how this works:\n\n1. Create the hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions(\n day DATE NOT NULL,\n city text NOT NULL,\n temperature INT NOT NULL\n )\n WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='day',\n tsdb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. Add data to your hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n INSERT INTO conditions (day, city, temperature) VALUES\n ('2021-06-14', 'Moscow', 26),\n ('2021-06-15', 'Moscow', 22),\n ('2021-06-16', 'Moscow', 24),\n ('2021-06-17', 'Moscow', 24),\n ('2021-06-18', 'Moscow', 27),\n ('2021-06-19', 'Moscow', 28),\n ('2021-06-20', 'Moscow', 30),\n ('2021-06-21', 'Moscow', 31),\n ('2021-06-22', 'Moscow', 34),\n ('2021-06-23', 'Moscow', 34),\n ('2021-06-24', 'Moscow', 34),\n ('2021-06-25', 'Moscow', 32),\n ('2021-06-26', 'Moscow', 32),\n ('2021-06-27', 'Moscow', 31);\n ```\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate but do not materialize any data:\n\n 1. Create the continuous aggregate:\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW conditions_summary\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT city,\n time_bucket('7 days', day) AS bucket,\n MIN(temperature),\n MAX(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n GROUP BY city, bucket\n WITH NO DATA;\n ```\n\n 1. Check your data:\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM conditions_summary ORDER BY bucket;\n ```\n The query on the continuous aggregate fetches data directly from the hypertable:\n\n | city | bucket | min | max|\n |--------|------------|-----|-----|\n | Moscow | 2021-06-14 | 22 | 30 |\n | Moscow | 2021-06-21 | 31 | 34 |\n\n1. Materialize data into the continuous aggregate:\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy:\n ```sql\n CALL refresh_continuous_aggregate('conditions_summary', '2021-06-14', '2021-06-21');\n ```\n\n 1. Check your data:\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM conditions_summary ORDER BY bucket;\n ```\n The select query returns the same data, as expected, but this time the data is\n fetched from the underlying materialized table\n\n | city | bucket | min | max|\n |--------|------------|-----|-----|\n | Moscow | 2021-06-14 | 22 | 30 |\n | Moscow | 2021-06-21 | 31 | 34 |\n\n\n1. Update the data in the previously materialized bucket:\n\n 1. Update the data in your hypertable:\n ```sql\n UPDATE conditions\n SET temperature = 35\n WHERE day = '2021-06-14' and city = 'Moscow';\n ```\n\n 1. Check your data:\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM conditions_summary ORDER BY bucket;\n ```\n The updated data is not yet visible when you query the continuous aggregate. This\n is because these changes have not been materialized. (Similarly, any\n INSERTs or DELETEs would also not be visible).\n\n | city | bucket | min | max |\n |--------|------------|-----|-----|\n | Moscow | 2021-06-14 | 22 | 30 |\n | Moscow | 2021-06-21 | 31 | 34 |\n\n\n1.

There are multiple ways that\nPostgres can execute a query: for example, a query might be fulfilled using a\nslow sequence scan or a much more efficient index scan. The choice of plan\ndepends on what indexes are created on the table, the statistics that Postgres\nhas about your data, and various planner settings. The EXPLAIN output let's you\nknow which plan Postgres is choosing for a particular query. Postgres has a\n[in-depth explanation][using explain] of this feature.\n\nTo understand the query performance on a hypertable, we suggest first\nmaking sure that the planner statistics and table maintenance is up-to-date on the hypertable\nby running `VACUUM ANALYZE ;`. Then, we suggest running the\nfollowing version of EXPLAIN:\n\n```sql\nEXPLAIN (ANALYZE on, BUFFERS on) ;\n```\n\nIf you suspect that your performance issues are due to slow IOs from disk, you\ncan get even more information by enabling the\n[track\\_io\\_timing][track_io_timing] variable with `SET track_io_timing = 'on';`\nbefore running the above EXPLAIN.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/caggs-hypertable-retention-policy-not-applying/ =====\n\n# Hypertable retention policy isn't applying to continuous aggregates\n\n\n\nA retention policy set on a hypertable does not apply to any continuous\naggregates made from the hypertable. This allows you to set different retention\nperiods for raw and summarized data. To apply a retention policy to a continuous\naggregate, set the policy on the continuous aggregate itself.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/columnstore-backlog-ooms/ =====\n\n# Out of memory errors after enabling the columnstore\n\nBy default, columnstore policies move all uncompressed chunks to the columnstore.\nHowever, before converting a large backlog of chunks from the rowstore to the columnstore,\nbest practice is to set `maxchunks_to_compress` and limit to amount of chunks to be converted. For example:\n\n```sql\nSELECT alter_job(job_id, config.maxchunks_to_compress => 10);\n```\n\nWhen all chunks have been converted to the columnstore, set `maxchunks_to_compress` to `0`, unlimited.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/cloud-singledb/ =====\n\n# Cannot create another database\n\n\n\nEach Tiger Cloud service hosts a single Postgres instance called `tsdb`.

If you insert historic\ndata, or data that is not related to the current time, you need to refresh\npolicies and reevaluate the values that are dragging from past to present.\n\nYou can set up an after insert rule for your hypertable or upsert to trigger\nsomething that can validate what needs to be refreshed as the data is merged.\n\nLet's say you inserted ordered timeframes named A, B, D, and F, and you already\nhave a continuous aggregation looking for this data. If you now insert E, you\nneed to refresh E and F. However, if you insert C we'll need to refresh C, D, E\nand F.\n\nFor example:\n\n1. A, B, D, and F are already materialized in a view with all data.\n1. To insert C, split the data into `AB` and `DEF` subsets.\n1. `AB` are consistent and the materialized data is too; you only need to\n reuse it.\n1. Insert C, `DEF`, and refresh policies after C.\n\nThis can use a lot of resources to process, especially if you have any important\ndata in the past that also needs to be brought to the present.\n\nConsider an example where you have 300 columns on a single hypertable and use,\nfor example, five of them in a continuous aggregation. In this case, it could\nbe hard to refresh and would make more sense to isolate these columns in another\nhypertable. Alternatively, you might create one hypertable per metric and\nrefresh them independently.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/locf-queries-null-values-not-missing/ =====\n\n# Queries using `locf()` don't treat `NULL` values as missing\n\n\n\nWhen you have a query that uses a last observation carried forward (locf)\nfunction, the query carries forward NULL values by default.

When you query a continuous aggregate, your query\nreturns materialized data from before the watermark. It returns real-time,\nnon-materialized data from after the watermark.\n\nIn certain cases, the watermark might be in the future. If this happens, all\nbuckets, including the most recent bucket, are materialized and below the\nwatermark. No real-time data is returned.\n\nThis might happen if you refresh your continuous aggregate over the time window\n`, NULL`, which materializes all recent data. It might also happen\nif you create a continuous aggregate using the `WITH DATA` option. This also\nimplicitly refreshes your continuous aggregate with a window of `NULL, NULL`.\n\nTo fix this, create a new continuous aggregate using the `WITH NO DATA` option.\nThen use a policy to refresh this continuous aggregate over an explicit time\nwindow.\n\n### Creating a new continuous aggregate with an explicit refresh window\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate using the `WITH NO DATA` option:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW \n WITH (timescaledb.continuous)\n AS SELECT time_bucket('', ),\n ,\n ...\n FROM \n GROUP BY bucket,\n WITH NO DATA;\n ```\n\n1. Refresh the continuous aggregate using a policy with an explicit\n `end_offset`. For example:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '30 day',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. Check your new continuous aggregate's watermark to make sure it is in the\n past, not the future.\n\n Get the ID for the materialization hypertable that contains the actual\n continuous aggregate data:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT id FROM _timescaledb_catalog.hypertable\n WHERE table_name=(\n SELECT materialization_hypertable_name\n FROM timescaledb_information.continuous_aggregates\n WHERE view_name=''\n );\n ```\n\n1. Use the returned ID to query for the watermark's timestamp:\n\n For TimescaleDB >= 2.12:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT COALESCE(\n _timescaledb_functions.to_timestamp(_timescaledb_functions.cagg_watermark()),\n '-infinity'::timestamp with time zone\n );\n ```\n\n For TimescaleDB < 2.12:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT COALESCE(\n _timescaledb_internal.to_timestamp(_timescaledb_internal.cagg_watermark()),\n '-infinity'::timestamp with time zone\n );\n ```\n\n\nIf you choose to delete your old continuous aggregate after creating a new one,\nbeware of historical data loss. If your old continuous aggregate contained data\nthat you dropped from your original hypertable, for example through a data\nretention policy, the dropped data is not included in your new continuous\naggregate.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/scheduled-jobs-stop-running/ =====\n\n# Scheduled jobs stop running\n\n\n\n\nYour scheduled jobs might stop running for various reasons.

We tune your database for performance and handle scalability, high availability, backups and management so you can relax.\n\nSelf-hosted TimescaleDB is community supported. For additional help\ncheck out the friendly [Tiger Data community][community].\n\nIf you'd prefer to pay for support then check out our [self-managed support][support].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/about-configuration/ =====\n\n# About configuration in TimescaleDB\n\nBy default, TimescaleDB uses the default Postgres server configuration\nsettings. However, in some cases, these settings are not appropriate, especially\nif you have larger servers that use more hardware resources such as CPU, memory,\nand storage. This section explains some of the settings you are most likely to\nneed to adjust.\n\nSome of these settings are Postgres settings, and some are TimescaleDB\nspecific settings. For most changes, you can use the [tuning tool][tstune-conf]\nto adjust your configuration. For more advanced configuration settings, or to\nchange settings that aren't included in the `timescaledb-tune` tool, you can\n[manually adjust][postgresql-conf] the `postgresql.conf` configuration file.\n\n## Memory\n\nSettings:\n\n* `shared_buffers`\n* `effective_cache_size`\n* `work_mem`\n* `maintenance_work_mem`\n* `max_connections`\n\nYou can adjust each of these to match the machine's available memory. To make it\neasier, you can use the [PgTune][pgtune] site to work out what settings to use:\nenter your machine details, and select the `data warehouse` DB type to see the\nsuggested parameters.\n\n\nYou can adjust these settings with `timescaledb-tune`.\n\n\n## Workers\n\nSettings:\n\n* `timescaledb.max_background_workers`\n* `max_parallel_workers`\n* `max_worker_processes`\n\nPostgres uses worker pools to provide workers for live queries and background\njobs. If you do not configure these settings, your queries and background jobs\ncould run more slowly.\n\nTimescaleDB background workers are configured with\n`timescaledb.max_background_workers`. Each database needs a background worker\nallocated to schedule jobs. Additional workers run background jobs as required.\nThis setting should be the sum of the total number of databases and the total\nnumber of concurrent background workers you want running at any one time. By\ndefault, `timescaledb-tune` sets `timescaledb.max_background_workers` to 16.\nYou can change this setting directly, use the `--max-bg-workers` flag, or adjust\nthe `TS_TUNE_MAX_BG_WORKERS`\n[Docker environment variable][docker-conf].\n\nTimescaleDB parallel workers are configured with `max_parallel_workers`. For\nlarger queries, Postgres automatically uses parallel workers if they are\navailable. Increasing this setting can improve query performance for large\nqueries that trigger the use of parallel workers. By default, this setting\ncorresponds to the number of CPUs available. You can change this parameter\ndirectly, by adjusting the `--cpus` flag, or by using the `TS_TUNE_NUM_CPUS`\n[Docker environment variable][docker-conf].\n\nThe `max_worker_processes` setting defines the total pool of workers available\nto both background and parallel workers, as well a small number of built-in\nPostgres workers. It should be at least the sum of\n`timescaledb.max_background_workers` and `max_parallel_workers`.\n\n\nYou can adjust these settings with `timescaledb-tune`.\n\n\n## Disk writes\n\nSettings:\n\n* `synchronous_commit`\n\nBy default, disk writes are performed synchronously, so each transaction must be\ncompleted and a success message sent, before the next transaction can begin. You\ncan change this to asynchronous to increase write throughput by setting\n`synchronous_commit = 'off'`. Note that disabling synchronous commits could\nresult in some committed transactions being lost. To help reduce the risk, do\nnot also change `fsync` setting. For more information about asynchronous commits\nand disk write speed, see the [Postgres documentation][async-commit].\n\n\nYou can adjust these settings in the `postgresql.conf` configuration\nfile.\n\n\n## Transaction locks\n\nSettings:\n\n* `max_locks_per_transaction`\n\nTimescaleDB relies on table partitioning to scale time-series workloads. A\nhypertable needs to acquire locks on many chunks during queries, which can\nexhaust the default limits for the number of allowed locks held. In some cases,\nyou might see a warning like this:\n\n```sql\npsql: FATAL: out of shared memory\nHINT: You might need to increase max_locks_per_transaction.\n```\n\nTo avoid this issue, you can increase the `max_locks_per_transaction` setting\nfrom the default value, which is usually 64. This parameter limits the average\nnumber of object locks used by each transaction; individual transactions can lock\nmore objects as long as the locks of all transactions fit in the lock table.\n\nFor most workloads, choose a number equal to double the maximum number of chunks\nyou expect to have in a hypertable divided by `max_connections`.\nThis takes into account that the number of locks used by a hypertable query is\nroughly equal to the number of chunks in the hypertable if you need to access\nall chunks in a query, or double that number if the query uses an index.\nYou can see how many chunks you currently have using the\n[`timescaledb_information.hypertables`][timescaledb_information-hypertables] view.\nChanging this parameter requires a database restart, so make sure you pick a larger\nnumber to allow for some growth. For more information about lock management,\nsee the [Postgres documentation][lock-management].\n\n\nYou can adjust these settings in the `postgresql.conf` configuration\nfile.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/timescaledb-config/ =====\n\n# TimescaleDB configuration and tuning\n\n\n\nJust as you can tune settings in Postgres, TimescaleDB provides a number of configuration\nsettings that may be useful to your specific installation and performance needs. These can\nalso be set within the `postgresql.conf` file or as command-line parameters\nwhen starting Postgres.\nwhen starting Postgres.\n\nJust as you can tune settings in Postgres, TimescaleDB provides a number of configuration\nsettings that may be useful to your specific installation and performance needs.

The first part of the aggregation is executed on a per-chunk basis.\nThen, these partial results are combined and finalized. Splitting aggregations\ndecreases the size of the created hash tables and increases data locality, which\nspeeds up queries.\n\n### `timescaledb.vectorized_aggregation (bool)`\nEnables or disables the vectorized optimizations in the query executor. For\nexample, the `sum()` aggregation function on compressed chunks can be optimized\nin this way.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_merge_on_cagg_refresh (bool)`\n\nSet to `ON` to dramatically decrease the amount of data written on a continuous aggregate\nin the presence of a small number of changes, reduce the i/o cost of refreshing a\n[continuous aggregate][continuous-aggregates], and generate fewer Write-Ahead Logs (WAL). Only works for continuous aggregates that don't have compression enabled.\n\nPlease refer to the [Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameters][gucs] for a complete list.\n\n## Policies\n\n### `timescaledb.max_background_workers (int)`\n\nMax background worker processes allocated to TimescaleDB. Set to at least 1 +\nthe number of databases loaded with the TimescaleDB extension in a Postgres instance. Default value is 16.\n\n## Tiger Cloud service tuning\n\n### `timescaledb.disable_load (bool)`\nDisable the loading of the actual extension\n\n## Administration\n\n### `timescaledb.restoring (bool)`\n\nSet TimescaleDB in restoring mode. It is disabled by default.\n\n### `timescaledb.license (string)`\n\nChange access to features based on the TimescaleDB license in use. For example,\nsetting `timescaledb.license` to `apache` limits TimescaleDB to features that\nare implemented under the Apache 2 license. The default value is `timescale`,\nwhich allows access to all features.\n\n### `timescaledb.telemetry_level (enum)`\n\nTelemetry settings level. Level used to determine which telemetry to\nsend. Can be set to `off` or `basic`. Defaults to `basic`.\n\n### `timescaledb.last_tuned (string)`\n\nRecords last time `timescaledb-tune` ran.\n\n### `timescaledb.last_tuned_version (string)`\n\nVersion of `timescaledb-tune` used to tune when it runs.\n\n## Distributed hypertables\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_2pc (bool)`\n\nEnables two-phase commit for distributed hypertables. If disabled, it\nuses a one-phase commit instead, which is faster but can result in\ninconsistent data. It is by default enabled.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_per_data_node_queries`\n\nIf enabled, TimescaleDB combines different chunks belonging to the\nsame hypertable into a single query per data node. It is by default enabled.\n\n### `timescaledb.max_insert_batch_size (int)`\n\nWhen acting as a access node, TimescaleDB splits batches of inserted\ntuples across multiple data nodes. It batches up to\n`max_insert_batch_size` tuples per data node before flushing. Setting\nthis to 0 disables batching, reverting to tuple-by-tuple inserts. The\ndefault value is 1000.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_connection_binary_data (bool)`\n\nEnables binary format for data exchanged between nodes in the\ncluster. It is by default enabled.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_client_ddl_on_data_nodes (bool)`\n\nEnables DDL operations on data nodes by a client and do not restrict\nexecution of DDL operations only by access node. It is by default disabled.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_async_append (bool)`\n\nEnables optimization that runs remote queries asynchronously across\ndata nodes. It is by default enabled.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_remote_explain (bool)`\n\nEnable getting and showing `EXPLAIN` output from remote nodes. This\nrequires sending the query to the data node, so it can be affected\nby the network connection and availability of data nodes. It is by default disabled.\n\n### `timescaledb.remote_data_fetcher (enum)`\n\nPick data fetcher type based on type of queries you plan to run, which\ncan be either `copy`, `cursor`, or `auto`. The default is `auto`.\n\n### `timescaledb.ssl_dir (string)`\n\nSpecifies the path used to search user certificates and keys when\nconnecting to data nodes using certificate authentication. Defaults to\n`timescaledb/certs` under the Postgres data directory.\n\n### `timescaledb.passfile (string)` [\n\nSpecifies the name of the file where passwords are stored and when\nconnecting to data nodes using password authentication.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/docker-config/ =====\n\n# Configuration with Docker\n\nIf you are running TimescaleDB in a [Docker container][docker], there are two\ndifferent ways to modify your Postgres configuration. You can edit the\nPostgres configuration file inside the Docker container, or you can set\nparameters at the command prompt.\n\n## Edit the Postgres configuration file inside Docker\n\nYou can start the Dockert container, and then use a text editor to edit the\nPostgres configuration file directly. The configuration file requires one\nparameter per line. Blank lines are ignored, and you can use a `#` symbol at the\nbeginning of a line to denote a comment.\n\n### Editing the Postgres configuration file inside Docker\n\n1. Start your Docker instance:\n\n ```bash\n docker start timescaledb\n ```\n\n1. Open a shell:\n\n ```bash\n docker exec -i -t timescaledb /bin/bash\n ```\n\n1. Open the configuration file in `Vi` editor or your preferred text editor.\n\n ```bash\n vi /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf\n ```\n\n1. Restart the container to reload the configuration:\n\n ```bash\n docker restart timescaledb\n ```\n\n## Setting parameters at the command prompt\n\nIf you don't want to open the configuration file to make changes, you can also\nset parameters directly from the command prompt inside your Docker container,\nusing the `-c` option. For example:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -i -t timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 postgres -c max_wal_size=2GB\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/configuration/ =====\n\n# Configuring TimescaleDB\n\nTimescaleDB works with the default Postgres server configuration settings.\nHowever, we find that these settings are typically too conservative and\ncan be limiting when using larger servers with more resources (CPU, memory,\ndisk, etc). Adjusting these settings, either\n[automatically with our tool `timescaledb-tune`][tstune] or manually editing\nyour machine's `postgresql.conf`, can improve performance.\n\n\n\nYou can determine the location of `postgresql.conf` by running\n`SHOW config_file;` from your Postgres client (for example, `psql`).\n\n\n\nIn addition, other TimescaleDB specific settings can be modified through the\n`postgresql.conf` file as covered in the [TimescaleDB settings][ts-settings] section.\n\n## Using `timescaledb-tune`\n\nTo streamline the configuration process, use [`timescaledb-tune`][tstune] that\nhandles setting the most common parameters to appropriate values based on your\nsystem, accounting for memory, CPU, and Postgres version. `timescaledb-tune`\nis packaged along with the binary releases as a dependency, so if you installed\none of the binary releases (including Docker), you should have access to the\ntool. Alternatively, with a standard Go environment, you can also `go get` the\nrepository to install it.\n\n`timescaledb-tune` reads your system's `postgresql.conf` file and offers\ninteractive suggestions for updating your settings:\n\n```bash\nUsing postgresql.conf at this path:\n/usr/local/var/postgres/postgresql.conf\n\nIs this correct? [(y)es/(n)o]: y\nWriting backup to:\n/var/folders/cr/zpgdkv194vz1g5smxl_5tggm0000gn/T/timescaledb_tune.backup201901071520\n\nshared_preload_libraries needs to be updated\nCurrent:\n#shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb'\nRecommended:\nshared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb'\nIs this okay? [(y)es/(n)o]: y\nsuccess: shared_preload_libraries will be updated\n\nTune memory/parallelism/WAL and other settings?

[(y)es/(s)kip/(q)uit]:\n```\n\nThese changes are then written to your `postgresql.conf` and take effect\non the next (re)start. If you are starting on fresh instance and don't feel\nthe need to approve each group of changes, you can also automatically accept\nand append the suggestions to the end of your `postgresql.conf` like so:\n\n```bash\ntimescaledb-tune --quiet --yes --dry-run >> /path/to/postgresql.conf\n```\n\n## Postgres configuration and tuning\n\nIf you prefer to tune the settings yourself, or are curious about the\nsuggestions that `timescaledb-tune` makes, then check these. However,\n`timescaledb-tune` does not cover all settings that you need to adjust.\n\n### Memory settings\n\n\nAll of these settings are handled by `timescaledb-tune`.\n\nThe settings `shared_buffers`, `effective_cache_size`, `work_mem`, and\n`maintenance_work_mem` need to be adjusted to match the machine's available\nmemory. Get the configuration values from the [PgTune][pgtune]\nwebsite (suggested DB Type: Data warehouse). You should also adjust the\n`max_connections` setting to match the ones given by PgTune since there is a\nconnection between `max_connections` and memory settings. Other settings from\nPgTune may also be helpful.\n\n### Worker settings\n\n\nAll of these settings are handled by `timescaledb-tune`.\n\nPostgres utilizes worker pools to provide the required workers needed to\nsupport both live queries and background jobs. If you do not configure these\nsettings, you may observe performance degradation on both queries and\nbackground jobs.\n\nTimescaleDB background workers are configured using the\n`timescaledb.max_background_workers` setting. You should configure this\nsetting to the sum of your total number of databases and the\ntotal number of concurrent background workers you want running at any given\npoint in time. You need a background worker allocated to each database to run\na lightweight scheduler that schedules jobs. On top of that, any additional\nworkers you allocate here run background jobs when needed.\n\nFor larger queries, Postgres automatically uses parallel workers if\nthey are available. To configure this use the `max_parallel_workers` setting.\nIncreasing this setting improves query performance for\nlarger queries. Smaller queries may not trigger parallel workers. By default,\nthis setting corresponds to the number of CPUs available. Use the `--cpus` flag\nor the `TS_TUNE_NUM_CPUS` docker environment variable to change it.\n\nFinally, you must configure `max_worker_processes` to be at least the sum of\n`timescaledb.max_background_workers` and `max_parallel_workers`.\n`max_worker_processes` is the total pool of workers available to both\nbackground and parallel workers (as well as a handful of built-in Postgres\nworkers).\n\nBy default, `timescaledb-tune` sets `timescaledb.max_background_workers` to 16.\nIn order to change this setting, use the `--max-bg-workers` flag or the\n`TS_TUNE_MAX_BG_WORKERS` docker environment variable. The `max_worker_processes`\nsetting is automatically adjusted as well.\n\n### Disk-write settings\n\nIn order to increase write throughput, there are\n[multiple settings][async-commit] to adjust the behavior that Postgres uses\nto write data to disk. In tests, performance is good with the default, or safest,\nsettings. If you want a bit of additional performance, you can set\n`synchronous_commit = 'off'`([Postgres docs][synchronous-commit]).\nPlease note that when disabling\n`synchronous_commit` in this way, an operating system or database crash might\nresult in some recent allegedly committed transactions being lost. We actively\ndiscourage changing the `fsync` setting.\n\n### Lock settings\n\nTimescaleDB relies heavily on table partitioning for scaling\ntime-series workloads, which has implications for [lock\nmanagement][lock-management]. A hypertable needs to acquire locks on\nmany chunks (sub-tables) during queries, which can exhaust the default\nlimits for the number of allowed locks held. This might result in a\nwarning like the following:\n\n```sql\npsql: FATAL: out of shared memory\nHINT: You might need to increase max_locks_per_transaction.\n```\n\nTo avoid this issue, it is necessary to increase the\n`max_locks_per_transaction` setting from the default value (which is\ntypically 64). Since changing this parameter requires a database\nrestart, it is advisable to estimate a good setting that also allows\nsome growth. For most use cases we recommend the following setting:\n\n```\nmax_locks_per_transaction = 2 * num_chunks / max_connections\n```\nwhere `num_chunks` is the maximum number of chunks you expect to have in a\nhypertable and `max_connections` is the number of connections configured for\nPostgres.\nThis takes into account that the number of locks used by a hypertable query is\nroughly equal to the number of chunks in the hypertable if you need to access\nall chunks in a query, or double that number if the query uses an index.\nYou can see how many chunks you currently have using the\n[`timescaledb_information.hypertables`][timescaledb_information-hypertables] view.\nChanging this parameter requires a database restart, so make sure you pick a larger\nnumber to allow for some growth.

These can also be set within the `postgresql.conf` file or as\ncommand-line parameters when starting Postgres.\n\n### Policies\n\n#### `timescaledb.max_background_workers (int)`\n\nMax background worker processes allocated to TimescaleDB. Set to at\nleast 1 + number of databases in Postgres instance to use background\nworkers. Default value is 8.\n\n### Distributed hypertables\n\n#### `timescaledb.hypertable_distributed_default (enum)`\n\nSet default policy to create local or distributed hypertables for\n`create_hypertable()` command, when the `distributed` argument is not provided.\nSupported values are `auto`, `local` or `distributed`.\n\n#### `timescaledb.hypertable_replication_factor_default (int)`\n\nGlobal default value for replication factor to use with hypertables\nwhen the `replication_factor` argument is not provided. Defaults to 1.\n\n#### `timescaledb.enable_2pc (bool)`\n\nEnables two-phase commit for distributed hypertables. If disabled, it\nuses a one-phase commit instead, which is faster but can result in\ninconsistent data. It is by default enabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.enable_per_data_node_queries (bool)`\n\nIf enabled, TimescaleDB combines different chunks belonging to the\nsame hypertable into a single query per data node. It is by default enabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.max_insert_batch_size (int)`\n\nWhen acting as a access node, TimescaleDB splits batches of inserted\ntuples across multiple data nodes. It batches up to\n`max_insert_batch_size` tuples per data node before flushing. Setting\nthis to 0 disables batching, reverting to tuple-by-tuple inserts. The\ndefault value is 1000.\n\n#### `timescaledb.enable_connection_binary_data (bool)`\n\nEnables binary format for data exchanged between nodes in the\ncluster. It is by default enabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.enable_client_ddl_on_data_nodes (bool)`\n\nEnables DDL operations on data nodes by a client and do not restrict\nexecution of DDL operations only by access node. It is by default disabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.enable_async_append (bool)`\n\nEnables optimization that runs remote queries asynchronously across\ndata nodes. It is by default enabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.enable_remote_explain (bool)`\n\nEnable getting and showing `EXPLAIN` output from remote nodes. This\nrequires sending the query to the data node, so it can be affected\nby the network connection and availability of data nodes. It is by default disabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.remote_data_fetcher (enum)`\n\nPick data fetcher type based on type of queries you plan to run, which\ncan be either `rowbyrow` or `cursor`. The default is `rowbyrow`.\n\n#### `timescaledb.ssl_dir (string)`\n\nSpecifies the path used to search user certificates and keys when\nconnecting to data nodes using certificate authentication. Defaults to\n`timescaledb/certs` under the Postgres data directory.\n\n#### `timescaledb.passfile (string)`\n\nSpecifies the name of the file where passwords are stored and when\nconnecting to data nodes using password authentication.\n\n### Administration\n\n#### `timescaledb.restoring (bool)`\n\nSet TimescaleDB in restoring mode. It is by default disabled.\n\n#### `timescaledb.license (string)`\n\nTimescaleDB license type. Determines which features are enabled. The\nvariable can be set to `timescale` or `apache`. Defaults to `timescale`.\n\n#### `timescaledb.telemetry_level (enum)`\n\nTelemetry settings level. Level used to determine which telemetry to\nsend. Can be set to `off` or `basic`. Defaults to `basic`.\n\n#### `timescaledb.last_tuned (string)`\n\nRecords last time `timescaledb-tune` ran.\n\n#### `timescaledb.last_tuned_version (string)`\n\nVersion of `timescaledb-tune` used to tune when it ran.\n\n## Changing configuration with Docker\n\nWhen running TimescaleDB in a [Docker container][docker], there are\ntwo approaches to modifying your Postgres configuration. In the\nfollowing example, we modify the size of the database instance's\nwrite-ahead-log (WAL) from 1 GB to 2 GB in a Docker container named\n`timescaledb`.\n\n#### Modifying postgres.conf inside Docker\n\n1. Open a shell in Docker to change the configuration on a running\n container.\n\n```bash\ndocker start timescaledb\ndocker exec -i -t timescaledb /bin/bash\n```\n\n1. Edit and then save the config file, modifying the setting for the desired\n configuration parameter (for example, `max_wal_size`).\n\n```bash\nvi /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf\n```\n\n1. Restart the container so the config gets reloaded.\n\n```bash\ndocker restart timescaledb\n```\n\n1. Test to see if the change worked.\n\n```bash\n docker exec -it timescaledb psql -U postgres\n\n postgres=# show max_wal_size;\n max_wal_size\n --------------\n 2GB\n```\n\n#### Specify configuration parameters as boot options\n\nAlternatively, one or more parameters can be passed in to the `docker run`\ncommand via a `-c` option, as in the following.\n\n```bash\ndocker run -i -t timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 postgres -cmax_wal_size=2GB\n```\n\nAdditional examples of passing in arguments at boot can be found in our\n[discussion about using WAL-E][wale] for incremental backup.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/telemetry/ =====\n\n# Telemetry and version checking\n\nTimescaleDB collects anonymous usage data to help us better understand and assist\nour users. It also helps us provide some services, such as automated version\nchecking. Your privacy is the most important thing to us, so we do not collect\nany personally identifying information. In particular, the `UUID` (user ID)\nfields contain no identifying information, but are randomly generated by\nappropriately seeded random number generators.\n\nThis is an example of the JSON data file that is sent for a specific\ndeployment:\n\n\n\n```json\n{\n \"db_uuid\": \"860c2be4-59a3-43b5-b895-5d9e0dd44551\",\n \"license\": {\n \"edition\": \"community\"\n },\n \"os_name\": \"Linux\",\n \"relations\": {\n \"views\": {\n \"num_relations\": 0\n },\n \"tables\": {\n \"heap_size\": 32768,\n \"toast_size\": 16384,\n \"indexes_size\": 98304,\n \"num_relations\": 4,\n \"num_reltuples\": 12\n },\n \"hypertables\": {\n \"heap_size\": 3522560,\n \"toast_size\": 23379968,\n \"compression\": {\n \"compressed_heap_size\": 3522560,\n \"compressed_row_count\": 4392,\n \"compressed_toast_size\": 20365312,\n \"num_compressed_chunks\": 366,\n \"uncompressed_heap_size\": 41951232,\n \"uncompressed_row_count\": 421368,\n \"compressed_indexes_size\": 11993088,\n \"uncompressed_toast_size\": 2998272,\n \"uncompressed_indexes_size\": 42696704,\n \"num_compressed_hypertables\": 1\n },\n \"indexes_size\": 18022400,\n \"num_children\": 366,\n \"num_relations\": 2,\n \"num_reltuples\": 421368\n },\n \"materialized_views\": {\n \"heap_size\": 0,\n \"toast_size\": 0,\n \"indexes_size\": 0,\n \"num_relations\": 0,\n \"num_reltuples\": 0\n },\n \"partitioned_tables\": {\n \"heap_size\": 0,\n \"toast_size\": 0,\n \"indexes_size\": 0,\n \"num_children\": 0,\n \"num_relations\": 0,\n \"num_reltuples\": 0\n },\n \"continuous_aggregates\": {\n \"heap_size\": 122404864,\n \"toast_size\": 6225920,\n \"compression\": {\n \"compressed_heap_size\": 0,\n \"compressed_row_count\": 0,\n \"num_compressed_caggs\": 0,\n \"compressed_toast_size\": 0,\n \"num_compressed_chunks\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_heap_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_row_count\": 0,\n \"compressed_indexes_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_toast_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_indexes_size\": 0\n },\n \"indexes_size\": 165044224,\n \"num_children\": 760,\n \"num_relations\": 24,\n \"num_reltuples\": 914704,\n \"num_caggs_on_distributed_hypertables\": 0,\n \"num_caggs_using_real_time_aggregation\": 24\n },\n \"distributed_hypertables_data_node\": {\n \"heap_size\": 0,\n \"toast_size\": 0,\n \"compression\": {\n \"compressed_heap_size\": 0,\n \"compressed_row_count\": 0,\n \"compressed_toast_size\": 0,\n \"num_compressed_chunks\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_heap_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_row_count\": 0,\n \"compressed_indexes_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_toast_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_indexes_size\": 0,\n \"num_compressed_hypertables\": 0\n },\n \"indexes_size\": 0,\n \"num_children\": 0,\n \"num_relations\": 0,\n \"num_reltuples\": 0\n },\n \"distributed_hypertables_access_node\": {\n \"heap_size\": 0,\n \"toast_size\": 0,\n \"compression\": {\n \"compressed_heap_size\": 0,\n \"compressed_row_count\": 0,\n \"compressed_toast_size\": 0,\n \"num_compressed_chunks\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_heap_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_row_count\": 0,\n \"compressed_indexes_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_toast_size\": 0,\n \"uncompressed_indexes_size\": 0,\n \"num_compressed_hypertables\": 0\n },\n \"indexes_size\": 0,\n \"num_children\": 0,\n \"num_relations\": 0,\n \"num_reltuples\": 0,\n \"num_replica_chunks\": 0,\n \"num_replicated_distributed_hypertables\": 0\n }\n },\n \"os_release\": \"5.10.47-linuxkit\",\n \"os_version\": \"#1 SMP Sat Jul 3 21:51:47 UTC 2021\",\n \"data_volume\": 381903727,\n \"db_metadata\": {},\n \"build_os_name\": \"Linux\",\n \"functions_used\": {\n \"pg_catalog.int8(integer)\": 8,\n \"pg_catalog.count(pg_catalog.\\\"any\\\")\": 20,\n \"pg_catalog.int4eq(integer,integer)\": 7,\n \"pg_catalog.textcat(pg_catalog.text,pg_catalog.text)\": 10,\n \"pg_catalog.chareq(pg_catalog.\\\"char\\\",pg_catalog.\\\"char\\\")\": 6,\n },\n \"install_method\": \"docker\",\n \"installed_time\": \"2022-02-17T19:55:14+00\",\n \"os_name_pretty\": \"Alpine Linux v3.15\",\n \"last_tuned_time\": \"2022-02-17T19:55:14Z\",\n \"build_os_version\": \"5.11.0-1028-azure\",\n \"exported_db_uuid\": \"5730161f-0d18-42fb-a800-45df33494c21\",\n \"telemetry_version\": 2,\n \"build_architecture\": \"x86_64\",\n \"distributed_member\": \"none\",\n \"last_tuned_version\": \"0.12.0\",\n \"postgresql_version\": \"12.10\",\n \"related_extensions\": {\n \"postgis\": false,\n \"pg_prometheus\": false,\n \"timescale_analytics\": false,\n \"timescaledb_toolkit\": false\n },\n \"timescaledb_version\": \"2.6.0\",\n \"num_reorder_policies\": 0,\n \"num_retention_policies\": 0,\n \"num_compression_policies\": 1,\n \"num_user_defined_actions\": 1,\n \"build_architecture_bit_size\": 64,\n \"num_continuous_aggs_policies\": 24\n}\n```\n\n\n\nIf you want to see the exact JSON data file that is sent, use the\n[`get_telemetry_report`][get_telemetry_report] API call.\n\n\nTelemetry reports are different if you are using an open source or community\nversion of TimescaleDB. For these versions, the report includes an `edition`\nfield, with a value of either `apache_only` or `community`.\n\n\n## Change what is included the telemetry report\n\nIf you want to adjust which metadata is included or excluded from the telemetry\nreport, you can do so in the `_timescaledb_catalog.metadata` table. Metadata\nwhich has `include_in_telemetry` set to `true`, and a value of\n`timescaledb_telemetry.cloud`, is included in the telemetry report.\n\n## Version checking\n\nTelemetry reports are sent periodically in the background. In response to the\ntelemetry report, the database receives the most recent version of TimescaleDB\navailable for installation. This version is recorded in your server logs, along\nwith any applicable out-of-date version warnings. You do not have to update\nimmediately to the newest release, but we highly recommend that you do so, to\ntake advantage of performance improvements and bug fixes.\n\n## Disable telemetry\n\nIt is highly recommend that you leave telemetry enabled, as it provides useful\nfeatures for you, and helps to keep improving Timescale. However, you can turn\noff telemetry if you need to for a specific database, or for an entire instance.\n\n\nIf you turn off telemetry, the version checking feature is also turned off.\n\n\n### Disabling telemetry\n\n1. Open your Postgres configuration file, and locate\n the `timescaledb.telemetry_level` parameter. See the\n [Postgres configuration file][postgres-config] instructions for locating\n and opening the file.\n1. Change the parameter setting to `off`:\n\n ```yaml\n timescaledb.telemetry_level=off\n ```\n\n1. Reload the configuration file:\n\n ```bash\n pg_ctl\n ```\n\n1. Alternatively, you can use this command at the `psql` prompt, as the root\n user:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER [SYSTEM | DATABASE | USER] { *db_name* | *role_specification* } SET timescaledb.telemetry_level=off\n ```\n\n This command disables telemetry for the specified system, database, or user.\n\n### Enabling telemetry\n\n1. Open your Postgres configuration file, and locate the\n 'timescaledb.telemetry_level' parameter. See the\n [Postgres configuration file][postgres-config]\n instructions for locating and opening the file.\n\n1. Change the parameter setting to 'off':\n\n ```yaml\n timescaledb.telemetry_level=basic\n ```\n\n1. Reload the configuration file:\n\n ```bash\n pg_ctl\n ```\n\n1. Alternatively, you can use this command at the `psql` prompt, as the root user:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER [SYSTEM | DATABASE | USER] { *db_name* | *role_specification* } SET timescaledb.telemetry_level=basic\n ```\n\n This command enables telemetry for the specified system, database, or user.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/timescaledb-tune/ =====\n\n# TimescaleDB tuning tool\n\nTo help make configuring TimescaleDB a little easier, you can use the [`timescaledb-tune`][tstune]\ntool. This tool handles setting the most common parameters to good values based\non your system. It accounts for memory, CPU, and Postgres version.\n`timescaledb-tune` is packaged with the TimescaleDB binary releases as a\ndependency, so if you installed TimescaleDB from a binary release (including\nDocker), you should already have access to the tool. Alternatively, you can use\nthe `go install` command to install it:\n\n```bash\ngo install github.com/timescale/timescaledb-tune/cmd/timescaledb-tune@latest\n```\n\nThe `timescaledb-tune` tool reads your system's `postgresql.conf` file and\noffers interactive suggestions for your settings. Here is an example of the tool\nrunning:\n\n```bash\nUsing postgresql.conf at this path:\n/usr/local/var/postgres/postgresql.conf\n\nIs this correct? [(y)es/(n)o]: y\nWriting backup to:\n/var/folders/cr/example/T/timescaledb_tune.backup202101071520\n\nshared_preload_libraries needs to be updated\nCurrent:\n#shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb'\nRecommended:\nshared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb'\nIs this okay? [(y)es/(n)o]: y\nsuccess: shared_preload_libraries will be updated\n\nTune memory/parallelism/WAL and other settings? [(y)es/(n)o]: y\nRecommendations based on 8.00 GB of available memory and 4 CPUs for PostgreSQL 12\n\nMemory settings recommendations\nCurrent:\nshared_buffers = 128MB\n#effective_cache_size = 4GB\n#maintenance_work_mem = 64MB\n#work_mem = 4MB\nRecommended:\nshared_buffers = 2GB\neffective_cache_size = 6GB\nmaintenance_work_mem = 1GB\nwork_mem = 26214kB\nIs this okay? [(y)es/(s)kip/(q)uit]:\n```\n\nWhen you have answered the questions, the changes are written to your\n`postgresql.conf` and take effect when you next restart.\n\nIf you are starting on a fresh instance and don't want to approve each group of\nchanges, you can automatically accept and append the suggestions to the end of\nyour `postgresql.conf` by using some additional flags when you run the tool:\n\n```bash\ntimescaledb-tune --quiet --yes --dry-run >> /path/to/postgresql.conf\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/configuration/postgres-config/ =====\n\n# Manual Postgres configuration and tuning\n\nIf you prefer to tune settings yourself, or for settings not covered by\n`timescaledb-tune`, you can manually configure your installation using the\nPostgres configuration file.\n\nFor some common configuration settings you might want to adjust, see the\n[about-configuration][about-configuration] page.\n\nFor more information about the Postgres configuration page, see the\n[Postgres documentation][pg-config].\n\n## Edit the Postgres configuration file\n\nThe location of the Postgres configuration file depends on your operating\nsystem and installation.\n\n1. **Find the location of the config file for your Postgres instance**\n 1. Connect to your database:\n ```shell\n psql -d \"postgres://:@:/\"\n ```\n 1. Retrieve the database file location from the database internal configuration.\n ```sql\n SHOW config_file;\n ```\n Postgres returns the path to your configuration file. For example:\n ```sql\n --------------------------------------------\n /home/postgres/pgdata/data/postgresql.conf\n (1 row)\n ```\n\n1. **Open the config file, then [edit your Postgres configuration][pg-config]**\n ```shell\n vi /home/postgres/pgdata/data/postgresql.conf\n ```\n\n1. **Save your updated configuration**\n\n When you have saved the changes you make to the configuration file, the new configuration is\n not applied immediately. The configuration file is automatically reloaded when the server\n receives a `SIGHUP` signal. To manually reload the file, use the `pg_ctl` command.\n\n## Setting parameters at the command prompt\n\nIf you don't want to open the configuration file to make changes, you can also\nset parameters directly from the command prompt, using the `postgres` command.\nFor example:\n\n```sql\npostgres -c log_connections=yes -c log_destination='syslog'\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/tooling/install-toolkit/ =====\n\n# Install and update TimescaleDB Toolkit\n\n\n\nSome hyperfunctions are included by default in TimescaleDB.

This procedure outlines the steps for a non-distributed system.\n\nTo connect your Kubernetes cluster to self-hosted TimescaleDB running in the cluster:\n\n1. **Create a default namespace for Tiger Data components**\n\n 1. Create the Tiger Data namespace:\n\n ```shell\n kubectl create namespace timescale\n ```\n\n 1. Set this namespace as the default for your session:\n\n ```shell\n kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=timescale\n ```\n\n For more information, see [Kubernetes Namespaces][kubernetes-namespace].\n\n1. **Set up a persistent volume claim (PVC) storage**\n\n To manually set up a persistent volume and claim for self-hosted Kubernetes, run the following command:\n\n ```yaml\n kubectl apply -f - <\n\n\n\n ```bash\n ./bootstrap\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```powershell\n bootstrap.bat\n ```\n\n\n\n     \n\n For installation on Microsoft Windows, you might need to add the `pg_config`\n and `cmake` file locations to your path. In the Windows Search tool, search\n for `system environment variables`. The path for `pg_config` should be\n `C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\\\bin`. The path for `cmake` is within\n the Visual Studio directory.\n\n 1.

The TimescaleDB build scripts use `pg_config` to\n find out where Postgres stores its extension files, so you can use `pg_config`\n to find out which Postgres installation TimescaleDB is using.\n\n 1. Locate the `postgresql.conf` configuration file:\n\n ```bash\n psql -d postgres -c \"SHOW config_file;\"\n ```\n\n 1. Open the `postgresql.conf` file and update `shared_preload_libraries` to:\n\n ```bash\n shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb'\n ```\n\n If you use other preloaded libraries, make sure they are comma separated.\n\n 1. Tune your Postgres instance for TimescaleDB\n\n ```bash\n sudo timescaledb-tune\n ```\n\n This script is included with the `timescaledb-tools` package when you install TimescaleDB.\n For more information, see [configuration][config].\n\n 1. Restart the Postgres instance:\n\n \n\n\n\n ```bash\n service postgresql restart\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```powershell\n pg_ctl restart\n ```\n\n\n\n \n\n1. **Set the user password**\n\n 1.

You can install a TimescaleDB\ninstance on any local system from a pre-built Docker container.\n\nThis section shows you how to\n[Install and configure TimescaleDB on Postgres](#install-and-configure-timescaledb-on-postgresql).\n\nThe following instructions are for development and testing installations. For a production environment, we strongly recommend\nthat you implement the following, many of which you can achieve using Postgres tooling:\n\n- Incremental backup and database snapshots, with efficient point-in-time recovery.\n- High availability replication, ideally with nodes across multiple availability zones.\n- Automatic failure detection with fast restarts, for both non-replicated and replicated deployments.\n- Asynchronous replicas for scaling reads when needed.\n- Connection poolers for scaling client connections.\n- Zero-down-time minor version and extension upgrades.\n- Forking workflows for major version upgrades and other feature testing.\n- Monitoring and observability.\n\nDeploying for production? With a Tiger Cloud service we tune your database for performance and handle scalability, high\navailability, backups, and management, so you can relax.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\nTo run, and connect to a Postgres installation on Docker, you need to install:\n\n- [Docker][docker-install]\n- [psql][install-psql]\n\n\n## Install and configure TimescaleDB on Postgres\n\nThis section shows you how to install the latest version of Postgres and\nTimescaleDB on a [supported platform](#supported-platforms) using containers supplied by Tiger Data.\n\n1. **Run the TimescaleDB Docker image**\n\n The [TimescaleDB HA](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb-ha) Docker image offers the most complete\n TimescaleDB experience. It uses [Ubuntu][ubuntu], includes\n [TimescaleDB Toolkit](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-toolkit), and support for PostGIS and Patroni.\n\n To install the latest release based on Postgres 17:\n\n ```\n docker pull timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg17\n ```\n\n TimescaleDB is pre-created in the default Postgres database and is added by default to any new database you create in this image.\n\n1. **Run the container**\n\n Replace `` with the path to the folder you want to keep your data in the following command.\n ```\n docker run -d --name timescaledb -p 5432:5432 -v :/pgdata -e PGDATA=/pgdata -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg17\n ```\n\n If you are running multiple container instances, change the port each Docker instance runs on.\n\n On UNIX-based systems, Docker modifies Linux IP tables to bind the container. If your system uses Linux Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW), Docker may\n [override your UFW port binding settings][override-binding]. To prevent this, add `DOCKER_OPTS=\"--iptables=false\"` to `/etc/default/docker`.\n\n1. **Connect to a database on your Postgres instance**\n\n The default user and database are both `postgres`. You set the password in `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` in the previous step. The default command to connect to Postgres is:\n\n ```bash\n psql -d \"postgres://postgres:password@localhost/postgres\"\n ```\n\n1. **Check that TimescaleDB is installed**\n\n ```sql\n \\dx\n ```\n\n You see the list of installed extensions:\n\n ```sql\n Name | Version | Schema | Description\n ---------------------+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language\n timescaledb | 2.20.3 | public | Enables scalable inserts and complex queries for time-series data (Community Edition)\n timescaledb_toolkit | 1.21.0 | public | Library of analytical hyperfunctions, time-series pipelining, and other SQL utilities\n (3 rows)\n ```\n\n Press `q` to exit the list of extensions.\n\n## More Docker options\n\nIf you want to access the container from the host but avoid exposing it to the\noutside world, you can bind to `127.0.0.1` instead of the public interface, using this command:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d --name timescaledb -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 \\\n-v :/pgdata -e PGDATA=/pgdata -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg17\n```\n\nIf you don't want to install `psql` and other Postgres client tools locally,\nor if you are using a Microsoft Windows host system, you can connect using the\nversion of `psql` that is bundled within the container with this command:\n\n```bash\ndocker exec -it timescaledb psql -U postgres\n```\n\nWhen you install TimescaleDB using a Docker container, the Postgres settings\nare inherited from the container. In most cases, you do not need to adjust them.\nHowever, if you need to change a setting, you can add `-c setting=value` to your\nDocker `run` command. For more information, see the\n[Docker documentation][docker-postgres].\n\nThe link provided in these instructions is for the latest version of TimescaleDB\non Postgres 17. To find other Docker tags you can use, see the [Dockerhub repository][dockerhub].\n\n## View logs in Docker\n\nIf you have TimescaleDB installed in a Docker container, you can view your logs\nusing Docker, instead of looking in `/var/lib/logs` or `/var/logs`. For more\ninformation, see the [Docker documentation on logs][docker-logs].\n\n\n\n\n\n1. **Run the TimescaleDB Docker image**\n\n The light-weight [TimescaleDB](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb) Docker image uses [Alpine][alpine] and does not contain [TimescaleDB Toolkit](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-toolkit) or support for PostGIS and Patroni.\n\n To install the latest release based on Postgres 17:\n\n ```\n docker pull timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg17\n ```\n\n TimescaleDB is pre-created in the default Postgres database and added by default to any new database you create in this image.\n\n\n1. **Run the container**\n\n ```\n docker run -v :/pgdata -e PGDATA=/pgdata \\\n -d --name timescaledb -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg17\n ```\n\n If you are running multiple container instances, change the port each Docker instance runs on.\n\n On UNIX-based systems, Docker modifies Linux IP tables to bind the container. If your system uses Linux Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW), Docker may [override your UFW port binding settings][override-binding]. To prevent this, add `DOCKER_OPTS=\"--iptables=false\"` to `/etc/default/docker`.\n\n1. **Connect to a database on your Postgres instance**\n\n The default user and database are both `postgres`.

The default command to connect to Postgres in this image is:\n\n ```bash\n psql -d \"postgres://postgres:password@localhost/postgres\"\n ```\n\n1. **Check that TimescaleDB is installed**\n\n ```sql\n \\dx\n ```\n\n You see the list of installed extensions:\n\n ```sql\n Name | Version | Schema | Description\n ---------------------+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language\n timescaledb | 2.20.3 | public | Enables scalable inserts and complex queries for time-series data (Community Edition)\n ```\n\n Press `q` to exit the list of extensions.\n\n## More Docker options\n\nIf you want to access the container from the host but avoid exposing it to the\noutside world, you can bind to `127.0.0.1` instead of the public interface, using this command:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -v :/pgdata -e PGDATA=/pgdata \\\n -d --name timescaledb -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 \\\n -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg17\n```\n\nIf you don't want to install `psql` and other Postgres client tools locally,\nor if you are using a Microsoft Windows host system, you can connect using the\nversion of `psql` that is bundled within the container with this command:\n\n```bash\ndocker exec -it timescaledb psql -U postgres\n```\n\nExisting containers can be stopped using `docker stop` and started again with\n`docker start` while retaining their volumes and data. When you create a new\ncontainer using the `docker run` command, by default you also create a new data\nvolume. When you remove a Docker container with `docker rm`, the data volume\npersists on disk until you explicitly delete it. You can use the `docker volume\nls` command to list existing docker volumes. If you want to store the data from\nyour Docker container in a host directory, or you want to run the Docker image\non top of an existing data directory, you can specify the directory to mount a\ndata volume using the `-v` flag:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d --name timescaledb -p 5432:5432 \\\n-v :/pgdata -e PGDATA=/pgdata \\\n-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg17\n```\n\nWhen you install TimescaleDB using a Docker container, the Postgres settings\nare inherited from the container.

You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have at least two separate instances of\nTimescaleDB running. If you installed TimescaleDB using a Docker container, use\na [Postgres entry point script][docker-postgres-scripts] to run the\nconfiguration. For more advanced examples, see the\n[TimescaleDB Helm Charts repository][timescale-streamrep-helm].\n\nTo configure replication on self-hosted TimescaleDB, you need to perform these\nprocedures:\n\n1. [Configure the primary database][configure-primary-db]\n1. [Configure replication parameters][configure-params]\n1. [Create replication slots][create-replication-slots]\n1. [Configure host-based authentication parameters][configure-pghba]\n1. [Create a base backup on the replica][create-base-backup]\n1. [Configure replication and recovery settings][configure-replication]\n1. [Verify that the replica is working][verify-replica]\n\n## Configure the primary database\n\nTo configure the primary database, you need a Postgres user with a role that\nallows it to initialize streaming replication. This is the user each replica\nuses to stream from the primary database.\n\n### Configuring the primary database\n\n1. On the primary database, as a user with superuser privileges, such as the\n `postgres` user, set the password encryption level to `scram-sha-256`:\n\n ```sql\n SET password_encryption = 'scram-sha-256';\n ```\n\n1. Create a new user called `repuser`:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE ROLE repuser WITH REPLICATION PASSWORD '' LOGIN;\n ```\n\n\n\nThe [scram-sha-256](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sasl-authentication.html#SASL-SCRAM-SHA-256) encryption level is the most secure\npassword-based authentication available in Postgres. It is only available in Postgres 10 and later.\n\n\n\n## Configure replication parameters\n\nThere are several replication settings that need to be added or edited in the\n`postgresql.conf` configuration file.\n\n### Configuring replication parameters\n\n1. Set the `synchronous_commit` parameter to `off`.\n1. Set the `max_wal_senders` parameter to the total number of concurrent\n connections from replicas or backup clients. As a minimum, this should equal\n the number of replicas you intend to have.\n1. Set the `wal_level` parameter to the amount of information written to the\n Postgres write-ahead log (WAL). For replication to work, there needs to be\n enough data in the WAL to support archiving and replication. The default\n value is usually appropriate.\n1. Set the `max_replication_slots` parameter to the total number of replication\n slots the primary database can support.\n1. Set the `listen_addresses` parameter to the address of the primary database.\n Do not leave this parameter as the local loopback address, because the\n remote replicas must be able to connect to the primary to stream the WAL.\n1. Restart Postgres to pick up the changes. This must be done before you\n create replication slots.\n\nThe most common streaming replication use case is asynchronous replication with\none or more replicas. In this example, the WAL is streamed to the replica, but\nthe primary server does not wait for confirmation that the WAL has been written\nto disk on either the primary or the replica. This is the most performant\nreplication configuration, but it does carry the risk of a small amount of data\nloss in the event of a system failure. It also makes no guarantees that the\nreplica is fully up to date with the primary, which could cause inconsistencies\nbetween read queries on the primary and the replica. The example configuration\nfor this use case:\n\n```yaml\nlisten_addresses = '*'\nwal_level = replica\nmax_wal_senders = 2\nmax_replication_slots = 2\nsynchronous_commit = off\n```\n\nIf you need stronger consistency on the replicas, or if your query load is heavy\nenough to cause significant lag between the primary and replica nodes in\nasynchronous mode, consider a synchronous replication configuration instead. For\nmore information about the different replication modes, see the\n[replication modes section][replication-modes].\n\n## Create replication slots\n\nWhen you have configured `postgresql.conf` and restarted Postgres, you can\ncreate a [replication slot][postgres-rslots-docs] for each replica. Replication\nslots ensure that the primary does not delete segments from the WAL until they\nhave been received by the replicas. This is important in case a replica goes\ndown for an extended time. The primary needs to verify that a WAL segment has\nbeen consumed by a replica, so that it can safely delete data. You can use\n[archiving][postgres-archive-docs] for this purpose, but replication slots\nprovide the strongest protection for streaming replication.\n\n### Creating replication slots\n\n1. At the `psql` slot, create the first replication slot. The name of the slot\n is arbitrary. In this example, it is called `replica_1_slot`:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM pg_create_physical_replication_slot('replica_1_slot', true);\n ```\n\n1. Repeat for each required replication slot.\n\n## Configure host-based authentication parameters\n\nThere are several replication settings that need to be added or edited to the\n`pg_hba.conf` configuration file. In this example, the settings restrict\nreplication connections to traffic coming from `REPLICATION_HOST_IP` as the\nPostgres user `repuser` with a valid password. `REPLICATION_HOST_IP` can\ninitiate streaming replication from that machine without additional credentials.\nYou can change the `address` and `method` values to match your security and\nnetwork settings.\n\nFor more information about `pg_hba.conf`, see the\n[`pg_hba` documentation][pg-hba-docs].\n\n### Configuring host-based authentication parameters\n\n1. Open the `pg_hba.conf` configuration file and add or edit this line:\n\n ```yaml\n TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD AUTH_METHOD\n host replication repuser /32 scram-sha-256\n ```\n\n1. Restart Postgres to pick up the changes.\n\n## Create a base backup on the replica\n\nReplicas work by streaming the primary server's WAL log and replaying its\ntransactions in Postgres recovery mode. To do this, the replica needs to be in\na state where it can replay the log. You can do this by restoring the replica\nfrom a base backup of the primary instance.\n\n### Creating a base backup on the replica\n\n1. Stop Postgres services.\n1. If the replica database already contains data, delete it before you run the\n backup, by removing the Postgres data directory:\n\n ```bash\n rm -rf /*\n ```\n\n If you don't know the location of the data directory, find it with the\n `show data_directory;` command.\n1. Restore from the base backup, using the IP address of the primary database\n and the replication username:\n\n ```bash\n pg_basebackup -h \\\n -D \\\n -U repuser -vP -W\n ```\n\n The -W flag prompts you for a password. If you are using this command in an\n automated setup, you might need to use a [pgpass file][pgpass-file].\n1. When the backup is complete, create a\n [standby.signal][postgres-recovery-docs] file in your data directory. When\n Postgres finds a `standby.signal` file in its data directory, it starts in\n recovery mode and streams the WAL through the replication protocol:\n\n ```bash\n touch /standby.signal\n ```\n\n## Configure replication and recovery settings\n\nWhen you have successfully created a base backup and a `standby.signal` file, you\ncan configure the replication and recovery settings.\n\n## Configuring replication and recovery settings\n\n1. In the replica's `postgresql.conf` file, add details for communicating with the\n primary server. If you are using streaming replication, the\n `application_name` in `primary_conninfo` should be the same as the name used\n in the primary's `synchronous_standby_names` settings:\n\n ```yaml\n primary_conninfo = 'host= port=5432 user=repuser\n password= application_name=r1'\n primary_slot_name = 'replica_1_slot'\n ```\n\n1. Add details to mirror the configuration of the primary database. If you are\n using asynchronous replication, use these settings:\n\n ```yaml\n hot_standby = on\n wal_level = replica\n max_wal_senders = 2\n max_replication_slots = 2\n synchronous_commit = off\n ```\n\n The `hot_standby` parameter must be set to `on` to allow read-only queries\n on the replica. In Postgres 10 and later, this setting is `on` by default.\n1. Restart Postgres to pick up the changes.\n\n## Verify that the replica is working\n\nAt this point, your replica should be fully synchronized with the primary\ndatabase and prepared to stream from it. You can verify that it is working\nproperly by checking the logs on the replica, which should look like this:\n\n```txt\nLOG: database system was shut down in recovery at 2018-03-09 18:36:23 UTC\nLOG: entering standby mode\nLOG: redo starts at 0/2000028\nLOG: consistent recovery state reached at 0/3000000\nLOG: database system is ready to accept read only connections\nLOG: started streaming WAL from primary at 0/3000000 on timeline 1\n```\n\nAny client can perform reads on the replica. You can verify this by running\ninserts, updates, or other modifications to your data on the primary database,\nand then querying the replica to ensure they have been properly copied over.\n\n## Replication modes\n\nIn most cases, asynchronous streaming replication is sufficient. However, you\nmight require greater consistency between the primary and replicas, especially\nif you have a heavy workload. Under heavy workloads, replicas can lag far behind\nthe primary, providing stale data to clients reading from the replicas.\nAdditionally, in cases where any data loss is fatal, asynchronous replication\nmight not provide enough of a durability guarantee. The Postgres\n[`synchronous_commit`][postgres-synchronous-commit-docs] feature has several\noptions with varying consistency and performance tradeoffs.\n\nIn the `postgresql.conf` file, set the `synchronous_commit` parameter to:\n\n* `on`: This is the default value. The server does not return `success` until\n the WAL transaction has been written to disk on the primary and any\n replicas.\n* `off`: The server returns `success` when the WAL transaction has been sent\n to the operating system to write to the WAL on disk on the primary, but\n does not wait for the operating system to actually write it. This can cause\n a small amount of data loss if the server crashes when some data has not\n been written, but it does not result in data corruption. Turning\n `synchronous_commit` off is a well-known Postgres optimization for\n workloads that can withstand some data loss in the event of a system crash.\n* `local`: Enforces `on` behavior only on the primary server.\n* `remote_write`: The database returns `success` to a client when the WAL\n record has been sent to the operating system for writing to the WAL on the\n replicas, but before confirmation that the record has actually been\n persisted to disk. This is similar to asynchronous commit, except it waits\n for the replicas as well as the primary. In practice, the extra wait time\n incurred waiting for the replicas significantly decreases replication lag.\n* `remote_apply`: Requires confirmation that the WAL records have been written\n to the WAL and applied to the databases on all replicas. This provides the\n strongest consistency of any of the `synchronous_commit` options. In this\n mode, replicas always reflect the latest state of the primary, and\n replication lag is nearly non-existent.\n\n\nIf `synchronous_standby_names` is empty, the settings `on`, `remote_apply`,\n`remote_write` and `local` all provide the same synchronization level, and\ntransaction commits wait for the local flush to disk.\n\n\nThis matrix shows the level of consistency provided by each mode:\n\n|Mode|WAL Sent to OS (Primary)|WAL Persisted (Primary)|WAL Sent to OS (Primary & Replicas)|WAL Persisted (Primary & Replicas)|Transaction Applied (Primary & Replicas)|\n|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n|Off|✅|❌|❌|❌|❌|\n|Local|✅|✅|❌|❌|❌|\n|Remote Write|✅|✅|✅|❌|❌|\n|On|✅|✅|✅|✅|❌|\n|Remote Apply|✅|✅|✅|✅|✅|\n\nThe `synchronous_standby_names` setting is a complementary setting to\n`synchronous_commit`. It lists the names of all replicas the primary database\nsupports for synchronous replication, and configures how the primary database\nwaits for them. The `synchronous_standby_names` setting supports these formats:\n\n* `FIRST num_sync (replica_name_1, replica_name_2)`: This waits for\n confirmation from the first `num_sync` replicas before returning `success`.\n The list of `replica_names` determines the relative priority of\n the replicas. Replica names are determined by the `application_name` setting\n on the replicas.\n* `ANY num_sync (replica_name_1, replica_name_2)`: This waits for confirmation\n from `num_sync` replicas in the provided list, regardless of their priority\n or position in the list. This is works as a quorum function.\n\nSynchronous replication modes force the primary to wait until all required\nreplicas have written the WAL, or applied the database transaction, depending on\nthe `synchronous_commit` level. This could cause the primary to hang\nindefinitely if a required replica crashes. When the replica reconnects, it\nreplays any of the WAL it needs to catch up. Only then is the primary able to\nresume writes. To mitigate this, provision more than the amount of nodes\nrequired under the `synchronous_standby_names` setting and list them in the\n`FIRST` or `ANY` clauses. This allows the primary to move forward as long as a\nquorum of replicas have written the most recent WAL transaction. Replicas that\nwere out of service are able to reconnect and replay the missed WAL transactions\nasynchronously.\n\n## Replication diagnostics\n\nThe Postgres [pg_stat_replication][postgres-pg-stat-replication-docs] view\nprovides information about each replica. This view is particularly useful for\ncalculating replication lag, which measures how far behind the primary the\ncurrent state of the replica is. The `replay_lag` field gives a measure of the\nseconds between the most recent WAL transaction on the primary, and the last\nreported database commit on the replica. Coupled with `write_lag` and\n`flush_lag`, this provides insight into how far behind the replica is. The\n`*_lsn` fields also provide helpful information. They allow you to compare WAL locations between\nthe primary and the replicas. The `state` field is useful for determining\nexactly what each replica is currently doing; the available modes are `startup`,\n`catchup`, `streaming`, `backup`, and `stopping`.\n\nTo see the data, on the primary database, run this command:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM pg_stat_replication;\n```\n\nThe output looks like this:\n\n```sql\n-[ RECORD 1 ]----+------------------------------\npid | 52343\nusesysid | 16384\nusename | repuser\napplication_name | r2\nclient_addr | 10.0.13.6\nclient_hostname |\nclient_port | 59610\nbackend_start | 2018-02-07 19:07:15.261213+00\nbackend_xmin |\nstate | streaming\nsent_lsn | 16B/43DB36A8\nwrite_lsn | 16B/43DB36A8\nflush_lsn | 16B/43DB36A8\nreplay_lsn | 16B/43107C28\nwrite_lag | 00:00:00.009966\nflush_lag | 00:00:00.03208\nreplay_lag | 00:00:00.43537\nsync_priority | 2\nsync_state | sync\n-[ RECORD 2 ]----+------------------------------\npid | 54498\nusesysid | 16384\nusename | repuser\napplication_name | r1\nclient_addr | 10.0.13.5\nclient_hostname |\nclient_port | 43402\nbackend_start | 2018-02-07 19:45:41.410929+00\nbackend_xmin |\nstate | streaming\nsent_lsn | 16B/43DB36A8\nwrite_lsn | 16B/43DB36A8\nflush_lsn | 16B/43DB36A8\nreplay_lsn | 16B/42C3B9C8\nwrite_lag | 00:00:00.019736\nflush_lag | 00:00:00.044073\nreplay_lag | 00:00:00.644004\nsync_priority | 1\nsync_state | sync\n```\n\n## Failover\n\nPostgres provides some failover functionality, where the replica is promoted\nto primary in the event of a failure. This is provided using the\n[pg_ctl][pgctl-docs] command or the `trigger_file`. However, Postgres does\nnot provide support for automatic failover. For more information, see the\n[Postgres failover documentation][failover-docs]. If you require a\nconfigurable high availability solution with automatic failover functionality,\ncheck out [Patroni][patroni-github].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/replication-and-ha/about-ha/ =====\n\n# High availability\n\n\n\nHigh availability (HA) is achieved by increasing redundancy and\nresilience. To increase redundancy, parts of the system are replicated, so that\nthey are on standby in the event of a failure. To increase resilience, recovery\nprocesses switch between these standby resources as quickly as possible.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\n## Backups\n\nFor some systems, recovering from backup alone can be a suitable availability\nstrategy.\n\nFor more information about backups in self-hosted TimescaleDB, see the\n[backup and restore section][db-backup] in the TimescaleDB documentation.\n\n## Storage redundancy\n\nStorage redundancy refers to having multiple copies of a database's data files.\nIf the storage currently attached to a Postgres instance corrupts or otherwise\nbecomes unavailable, the system can replace its current storage with one of the\ncopies.\n\n## Instance redundancy\n\nInstance redundancy refers to having replicas of your database running\nsimultaneously. In the case of a database failure, a replica is an up-to-date,\nrunning database that can take over immediately.\n\n## Zonal redundancy\n\nWhile the public cloud is highly reliable, entire portions of the cloud can be\nunavailable at times. TimescaleDB does not protect against Availability Zone\nfailures unless the user is using HA replicas. We do not currently offer\nmulti-cloud solutions or protection from an AWS Regional failure.\n\n## Replication\n\nTimescaleDB supports replication using Postgres's built-in\n[streaming replication][postgres-streaming-replication-docs]. Using\n[logical replication][postgres-logrep-docs] with TimescaleDB is not recommended,\nas it requires schema synchronization between the primary and replica nodes and\nreplicating partition root tables, which are\n[not currently supported][postgres-partition-limitations].\n\nPostgres achieves streaming replication by having replicas continuously stream\nthe WAL from the primary database. See the official\n[replication documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/warm-standby.html#STREAMING-REPLICATION)\nfor details. For more information about how Postgres implements Write-Ahead\nLogging, see their\n[WAL Documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/wal-intro.html).\n\n## Failover\n\nPostgres offers failover functionality where a replica is promoted to primary\nin the event of a failure on the primary. This is done using\n[pg_ctl][pgctl-docs] or the `trigger_file`, but it does not provide\nout-of-the-box support for automatic failover. Read more in the Postgres\n[failover documentation][failover-docs]. [Patroni][patroni-github] offers a\nconfigurable high availability solution with automatic failover functionality.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/insert/ =====\n\n# Insert data\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nYou can insert data into a distributed hypertable with an `INSERT` statement.\nThe syntax looks the same as for a standard hypertable or Postgres table. For\nexample:\n\n```sql\nINSERT INTO conditions(time, location, temperature, humidity)\n VALUES (NOW(), 'office', 70.0, 50.0);\n```\n\n## Optimize data insertion\n\nDistributed hypertables have higher network load than standard hypertables,\nbecause they must push inserts from the access node to the data nodes. You can\noptimize your insertion patterns to reduce load.\n\n### Insert data in batches\n\nReduce load by batching your `INSERT` statements over many rows of data, instead\nof performing each insertion as a separate transaction.\n\nThe access node first splits the batched data into smaller batches by\ndetermining which data node each row should belong to. It then writes each batch\nto the correct data node.\n\n### Optimize insert batch size\n\nWhen inserting to a distributed hypertable, the access node tries to convert\n`INSERT` statements into more efficient [`COPY`][postgresql-copy] operations\nbetween the access and data nodes. But this doesn't work if:\n\n* The `INSERT` statement has a `RETURNING` clause _and_\n* The hypertable has triggers that could alter the returned data\n\nIn this case, the planner uses a multi-row prepared statement to insert into\neach data node. It splits the original insert statement across these\nsub-statements. You can view the plan by running an\n[`EXPLAIN`][postgresql-explain] on your `INSERT` statement.\n\nIn the prepared statement, the access node can buffer a number of rows before\nflushing them to the data node. By default, the number is 1000. You can optimize\nthis by changing the `timescaledb.max_insert_batch_size` setting, for example to\nreduce the number of separate batches that must be sent.\n\nThe maximum batch size has a ceiling. This is equal to the maximum number of\nparameters allowed in a prepared statement, which is currently 32,767\nparameters, divided by the number of columns in each row. For example, if you\nhave a distributed hypertable with 10 columns, the highest you can set the batch\nsize is 3276.\n\nFor more information on changing `timescaledb.max_insert_batch_size`, see the\nsection on [configuration][config].\n\n### Use a copy statement instead\n\n[`COPY`][postgresql-copy] can perform better than `INSERT` on a distributed\nhypertable. But it doesn't support some features, such as conflict handling\nusing the `ON CONFLICT` clause.\n\nTo copy from a file to your hypertable, run:\n\n```sql\nCOPY FROM '';\n```\n\nWhen doing a [`COPY`][postgresql-copy], the access node switches each data node\nto copy mode. It then streams each row to the correct data node.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/alter-drop-distributed-hypertables/ =====\n\n# Alter and drop distributed hypertables\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nYou can alter and drop distributed hypertables in the same way as standard\nhypertables.

First create a standard Postgres table, and\nthen convert it into a distributed hypertable.\n\n\nYou need to set up your multi-node cluster before creating a distributed\nhypertable. To set up multi-node, see the\n[multi-node section](https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/latest/multinode-timescaledb/).\n\n\n### Creating a distributed hypertable\n\n1. On the access node of your multi-node cluster, create a standard\n [Postgres table][postgres-createtable]:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n );\n ```\n\n1. Convert the table to a distributed hypertable. Specify the name of the table\n you want to convert, the column that holds its time values, and a\n space-partitioning parameter.\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location');\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/foreign-keys/ =====\n\n# Create foreign keys in a distributed hypertable\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nTables and values referenced by a distributed hypertable must be present on the\naccess node and all data nodes. To create a foreign key from a distributed\nhypertable, use [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] to first create the\nreferenced table on all nodes.\n\n## Creating foreign keys in a distributed hypertable\n\n1. Create the referenced table on the access node.\n1. Use [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] to create the same table on all\n data nodes and update it with the correct data.\n1. Create a foreign key from your distributed hypertable to your referenced\n table.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/triggers/ =====\n\n# Use triggers on distributed hypertables\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nTriggers on distributed hypertables work in much the same way as triggers on\nstandard hypertables, and have the same limitations. But there are some\ndifferences due to the data being distributed across multiple nodes:\n\n* Row-level triggers fire on the data node where the row is inserted. The\n triggers must fire where the data is stored, because `BEFORE` and `AFTER`\n row triggers need access to the stored data. The chunks on the access node\n do not contain any data, so they have no triggers.\n* Statement-level triggers fire once on each affected node, including the\n access node. For example, if a distributed hypertable includes 3 data nodes,\n inserting 2 rows of data executes a statement-level trigger on the access\n node and either 1 or 2 data nodes, depending on whether the rows go to the\n same or different nodes.\n* A replication factor greater than 1 further causes\n the trigger to fire on multiple nodes. Each replica node fires the trigger.\n\n## Create a trigger on a distributed hypertable\n\nCreate a trigger on a distributed hypertable by using [`CREATE\nTRIGGER`][create-trigger] as usual. The trigger, and the function it executes,\nis automatically created on each data node. If the trigger function references\nany other functions or objects, they need to be present on all nodes before you\ncreate the trigger.\n\n### Creating a trigger on a distributed hypertable\n\n1. If your trigger needs to reference another function or object, use\n [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] to create the function or object on\n all nodes.\n1. Create the trigger function on the access node. This example creates a dummy\n trigger that raises the notice 'trigger fired':\n\n ```sql\n CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_trigger_func()\n RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE PLPGSQL AS\n body$\n BEGIN\n RAISE NOTICE 'trigger fired';\n RETURN NEW;\n END\n body$;\n ```\n\n1. Create the trigger itself on the access node. This example causes the\n trigger to fire whenever a row is inserted into the hypertable `hyper`. Note\n that you don't need to manually create the trigger on the data nodes. This is\n done automatically for you.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger\n AFTER INSERT ON hyper\n FOR EACH ROW\n EXECUTE FUNCTION my_trigger_func();\n ```\n\n## Avoid processing a trigger multiple times\n\nIf you have a statement-level trigger, or a replication factor greater than 1,\nthe trigger fires multiple times. To avoid repetitive firing, you can set the\ntrigger function to check which data node it is executing on.\n\nFor example, write a trigger function that raises a different notice on the\naccess node compared to a data node:\n\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_trigger_func()\n RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE PLPGSQL AS\nbody$\nDECLARE\n is_access_node boolean;\nBEGIN\n SELECT is_distributed INTO is_access_node\n FROM timescaledb_information.hypertables\n WHERE hypertable_name =\n AND hypertable_schema = ;\n\n IF is_access_node THEN\n RAISE NOTICE 'trigger fired on the access node';\n ELSE\n RAISE NOTICE 'trigger fired on a data node';\n END IF;\n\n RETURN NEW;\nEND\nbody$;\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/query/ =====\n\n# Query data in distributed hypertables\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nYou can query a distributed hypertable just as you would query a standard\nhypertable or Postgres table. For more information, see the section on\n[writing data][write].\n\nQueries perform best when the access node can push transactions down to the data\nnodes. To ensure that the access node can push down transactions, check that the\n[`enable_partitionwise_aggregate`][enable_partitionwise_aggregate] setting is\nset to `on` for the access node. By default, it is `off`.\n\nIf you want to use continuous aggregates on your distributed hypertable, see the\n[continuous aggregates][caggs] section for more information.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/distributed-hypertables/about-distributed-hypertables/ =====\n\n# About distributed hypertables\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nDistributed hypertables are hypertables that span multiple nodes. With\ndistributed hypertables, you can scale your data storage across multiple\nmachines. The database can also parallelize some inserts and queries.\n\nA distributed hypertable still acts as if it were a single table. You can work\nwith one in the same way as working with a standard hypertable. To learn more\nabout hypertables, see the [hypertables section][hypertables].\n\nCertain nuances can affect distributed hypertable performance. This section\nexplains how distributed hypertables work, and what you need to consider before\nadopting one.\n\n## Architecture of a distributed hypertable\n\nDistributed hypertables are used with multi-node clusters. Each cluster has an\naccess node and multiple data nodes. You connect to your database using the\naccess node, and the data is stored on the data nodes. For more information\nabout multi-node, see the [multi-node section][multi-node].\n\nYou create a distributed hypertable on your access node. Its chunks are stored\non the data nodes. When you insert data or run a query, the access node\ncommunicates with the relevant data nodes and pushes down any processing if it\ncan.\n\n## Space partitioning\n\nDistributed hypertables are always partitioned by time, just like standard\nhypertables. But unlike standard hypertables, distributed hypertables should\nalso be partitioned by space. This allows you to balance inserts and queries\nbetween data nodes, similar to traditional sharding. Without space partitioning,\nall data in the same time range would write to the same chunk on a single node.\n\nBy default, TimescaleDB creates as many space partitions as there are data\nnodes. You can change this number, but having too many space partitions degrades\nperformance. It increases planning time for some queries, and leads to poorer\nbalancing when mapping items to partitions.\n\nData is assigned to space partitions by hashing. Each hash bucket in the space\ndimension corresponds to a data node. One data node may hold many buckets, but\neach bucket may belong to only one node for each time interval.\n\nWhen space partitioning is on, 2 dimensions are used to divide data into chunks:\nthe time dimension and the space dimension. You can specify the number of\npartitions along the space dimension. Data is assigned to a partition by hashing\nits value on that dimension.\n\nFor example, say you use `device_id` as a space partitioning column. For each\nrow, the value of the `device_id` column is hashed. Then the row is inserted\ninto the correct partition for that hash value.\n\n\n\n### Closed and open dimensions for space partitioning\n\nSpace partitioning dimensions can be open or closed. A closed dimension has a\nfixed number of partitions, and usually uses some hashing to match values to\npartitions. An open dimension does not have a fixed number of partitions, and\nusually has each chunk cover a certain range. In most cases the time dimension\nis open and the space dimension is closed.\n\nIf you use the `create_hypertable` command to create your hypertable, then the\nspace dimension is open, and there is no way to adjust this. To create a\nhypertable with a closed space dimension, create the hypertable with only the\ntime dimension first. Then use the `add_dimension` command to explicitly add an\nopen device. If you set the range to `1`, each device has its own chunks. This\ncan help you work around some limitations of regular space dimensions, and is\nespecially useful if you want to make some chunks readily available for\nexclusion.\n\n### Repartitioning distributed hypertables\n\nYou can expand distributed hypertables by adding additional data nodes. If you\nnow have fewer space partitions than data nodes, you need to increase the\nnumber of space partitions to make use of your new nodes. The new partitioning\nconfiguration only affects new chunks. In this diagram, an extra data node\nwas added during the third time interval. The fourth time interval now includes\nfour chunks, while the previous time intervals still include three:\n\n\n\nThis can affect queries that span the two different partitioning configurations.\nFor more information, see the section on\n[limitations of query push down][limitations].\n\n## Replicating distributed hypertables\n\nTo replicate distributed hypertables at the chunk level, configure the\nhypertables to write each chunk to multiple data nodes. This native replication\nensures that a distributed hypertable is protected against data node failures\nand provides an alternative to fully replicating each data node using streaming\nreplication to provide high availability. Only the data nodes are replicated\nusing this method. The access node is not replicated.\n\nFor more information about replication and high availability, see the\n[multi-node HA section][multi-node-ha].\n\n## Performance of distributed hypertables\n\nA distributed hypertable horizontally scales your data storage, so you're not\nlimited by the storage of any single machine. It also increases performance for\nsome queries.\n\nWhether, and by how much, your performance increases depends on your query\npatterns and data partitioning. Performance increases when the access node can\npush down query processing to data nodes. For example, if you query with a\n`GROUP BY` clause, and the data is partitioned by the `GROUP BY` column, the\ndata nodes can perform the processing and send only the final results to the\naccess node.\n\nIf processing can't be done on the data nodes, the access node needs to pull in\nraw or partially processed data and do the processing locally. For more\ninformation, see the [limitations of pushing down\nqueries][limitations-pushing-down].\n\n## Query push down\n\nThe access node can use a full or a partial method to push down queries.\nComputations that can be pushed down include sorts and groupings. Joins on data\nnodes aren't currently supported.\n\nTo see how a query is pushed down to a data node, use `EXPLAIN VERBOSE` to\ninspect the query plan and the remote SQL statement sent to each data node.\n\n### Full push down\n\nIn the full push-down method, the access node offloads all computation to the\ndata nodes. It receives final results from the data nodes and appends them. To\nfully push down an aggregate query, the `GROUP BY` clause must include either:\n\n* All the partitioning columns _or_\n* Only the first space-partitioning column\n\nFor example, say that you want to calculate the `max` temperature for each\nlocation:\n\n```sql\nSELECT location, max(temperature)\n FROM conditions\n GROUP BY location;\n```\n\nIf `location` is your only space partition, each data node can compute the\nmaximum on its own subset of the data.\n\n### Partial push down\n\nIn the partial push-down method, the access node offloads most of the\ncomputation to the data nodes. It receives partial results from the data nodes\nand calculates a final aggregate by combining the partials.\n\nFor example, say that you want to calculate the `max` temperature across all\nlocations. Each data node computes a local maximum, and the access node computes\nthe final result by computing the maximum of all the local maximums:\n\n```sql\nSELECT max(temperature) FROM conditions;\n```\n\n### Limitations of query push down\n\nDistributed hypertables get improved performance when they can push down queries\nto the data nodes. But the query planner might not be able to push down every\nquery. Or it might only be able to partially push down a query. This can occur\nfor several reasons:\n\n* You changed the partitioning configuration. For example, you added new data\n nodes and increased the number of space partitions to match. This can cause\n chunks for the same space value to be stored on different nodes. For\n instance, say you partition by `device_id`. You start with 3 partitions, and\n data for `device_B` is stored on node 3. You later increase to 4 partitions.\n New chunks for `device_B` are now stored on node 4. If you query across the\n repartitioning boundary, a final aggregate for `device_B` cannot be\n calculated on node 3 or node 4 alone. Partially processed data must be sent\n to the access node for final aggregation. The TimescaleDB query planner\n dynamically detects such overlapping chunks and reverts to the appropriate\n partial aggregation plan. This means that you can add data nodes and\n repartition your data to achieve elasticity without worrying about query\n results. In some cases, your query could be slightly less performant, but\n this is rare and the affected chunks usually move quickly out of your\n retention window.\n* The query includes [non-immutable functions][volatility] and expressions.\n The function cannot be pushed down to the data node, because by definition,\n it isn't guaranteed to have a consistent result across each node. An example\n non-immutable function is [`random()`][random-func], which depends on the\n current seed.\n* The query includes a job function. The access node assumes the\n function doesn't exist on the data nodes, and doesn't push it down.\n\nTimescaleDB uses several optimizations to avoid these limitations, and push down\nas many queries as possible. For example, `now()` is a non-immutable function.\nThe database converts it to a constant on the access node and pushes down the\nconstant timestamp to the data nodes.\n\n## Combine distributed hypertables and standard hypertables\n\nYou can use distributed hypertables in the same database as standard hypertables\nand standard Postgres tables. This mostly works the same way as having\nmultiple standard tables, with a few differences. For example, if you `JOIN` a\nstandard table and a distributed hypertable, the access node needs to fetch the\nraw data from the data nodes and perform the `JOIN` locally.\n\n## Limitations\n\nAll the limitations of regular hypertables also apply to distributed\nhypertables. In addition, the following limitations apply specifically\nto distributed hypertables:\n\n* Distributed scheduling of background jobs is not supported. Background jobs\n created on an access node are scheduled and executed on this access node\n without distributing the jobs to data nodes.\n* Continuous aggregates can aggregate data distributed across data nodes, but\n the continuous aggregate itself must live on the access node. This could\n create a limitation on how far you can scale your installation, but because\n continuous aggregates are downsamples of the data, this does not usually\n create a problem.\n* Reordering chunks is not supported.\n* Tablespaces cannot be attached to a distributed hypertable on the access\n node. It is still possible to attach tablespaces on data nodes.\n* Roles and permissions are assumed to be consistent across the nodes of a\n distributed database, but consistency is not enforced.\n* Joins on data nodes are not supported. Joining a distributed hypertable with\n another table requires the other table to reside on the access node. This\n also limits the performance of joins on distributed hypertables.\n* Tables referenced by foreign key constraints in a distributed hypertable\n must be present on the access node and all data nodes. This applies also to\n referenced values.\n* Parallel-aware scans and appends are not supported.\n* Distributed hypertables do not natively provide a consistent restore point\n for backup and restore across nodes. Use the\n [`create_distributed_restore_point`][create_distributed_restore_point]\n command, and make sure you take care when you restore individual backups to\n access and data nodes.\n* For native replication limitations, see the\n [native replication section][native-replication].\n* User defined functions have to be manually installed on the data nodes so\n that the function definition is available on both access and data nodes.\n This is particularly relevant for functions that are registered with\n `set_integer_now_func`.\n\nNote that these limitations concern usage from the access node. Some\ncurrently unsupported features might still work on individual data nodes,\nbut such usage is neither tested nor officially supported. Future versions\nof TimescaleDB might remove some of these limitations.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/backup-and-restore/logical-backup/ =====\n\n# Logical backup with pg_dump and pg_restore\n\nYou back up and restore each self-hosted Postgres database with TimescaleDB enabled using the native\nPostgres [`pg_dump`][pg_dump] and [`pg_restore`][pg_restore] commands. This also works for compressed hypertables,\nyou don't have to decompress the chunks before you begin.\n\nIf you are using `pg_dump` to backup regularly, make sure you keep\ntrack of the versions of Postgres and TimescaleDB you are running. For more\ninformation, see [Versions are mismatched when dumping and restoring a database][troubleshooting-version-mismatch].\n\nThis page shows you how to:\n\n- [Back up and restore an entire database][backup-entire-database]\n- [Back up and restore individual hypertables][backup-individual-tables]\n\nYou can also [upgrade between different versions of TimescaleDB][timescaledb-upgrade].\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- A source database to backup from, and a target database to restore to.\n- Install the `psql` and `pg_dump` Postgres client tools on your migration machine.\n\n## Back up and restore an entire database\n\nYou backup and restore an entire database using `pg_dump` and `psql`.\n\nIn terminal:\n\n1. **Set your connection strings**\n\n These variables hold the connection information for the source database to backup from and\n the target database to restore to:\n\n ```bash\n export SOURCE=postgres://:@:/\n export TARGET=postgres://:@:\n ```\n\n1. **Backup your database**\n\n ```bash\n pg_dump -d \"source\" \\\n -Fc -f .bak\n ```\n You may see some errors while `pg_dump` is running. See [Troubleshooting self-hosted TimescaleDB][troubleshooting]\n to check if they can be safely ignored.\n\n1. **Restore your database from the backup**\n\n 1. Connect to your target database:\n ```bash\n psql -d \"target\"\n ```\n\n 1. Create a new database and enable TimescaleDB:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE DATABASE ;\n \\c \n CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS timescaledb;\n ```\n\n 1. Put your database in the right state for restoring:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT timescaledb_pre_restore();\n ```\n\n 1. Restore the database:\n\n ```sql\n pg_restore -Fc -d .bak\n ```\n\n 1. Return your database to normal operations:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT timescaledb_post_restore();\n ```\n Do not use `pg_restore` with the `-j` option. This option does not correctly restore the\n TimescaleDB catalogs.\n\n\n## Back up and restore individual hypertables\n\n`pg_dump` provides flags that allow you to specify tables or schemas\nto back up. However, using these flags means that the dump lacks necessary\ninformation that TimescaleDB requires to understand the relationship between\nthem. Even if you explicitly specify both the hypertable and all of its\nconstituent chunks, the dump would still not contain all the information it\nneeds to recreate the hypertable on restore.\n\nTo backup individual hypertables, backup the database schema, then backup only the tables\nyou need. You also use this method to backup individual plain tables.\n\nIn Terminal:\n\n1. **Set your connection strings**\n\n These variables hold the connection information for the source database to backup from and\n the target database to restore to:\n\n ```bash\n export SOURCE=postgres://:@:/\n export TARGET=postgres://:@:/\n ```\n\n1. **Backup the database schema and individual tables**\n\n 1. Back up the hypertable schema:\n\n ```bash\n pg_dump -s -d source --table > schema.sql\n ```\n\n 1. Backup hypertable data to a CSV file:\n\n For each hypertable to backup:\n ```bash\n psql -d source \\\n -c \"\\COPY (SELECT * FROM ) TO .csv DELIMITER ',' CSV\"\n ```\n\n1. **Restore the schema to the target database**\n\n ```bash\n psql -d target < schema.sql\n ```\n\n1. **Restore hypertables from the backup**\n\n For each hypertable to backup:\n 1. Recreate the hypertable:\n\n ```bash\n psql -d target -c \"SELECT create_hypertable(, )\"\n ```\n When you [create the new hypertable][create_hypertable], you do not need to use the\n same parameters as existed in the source database. This\n can provide a good opportunity for you to re-organize your hypertables if\n you need to. For example, you can change the partitioning key, the number of\n partitions, or the chunk interval sizes.\n\n 1. Restore the data:\n\n ```bash\n psql -d target -c \"\\COPY FROM .csv CSV\"\n ```\n\n The standard `COPY` command in Postgres is single threaded. If you have a\n lot of data, you can speed up the copy using the [timescaledb-parallel-copy][parallel importer].\n\nBest practice is to backup and restore a database at a time. However, if you have superuser access to\nPostgres instance with TimescaleDB installed, you can use `pg_dumpall` to back up all Postgres databases in a\ncluster, including global objects that are common to all databases, namely database roles, tablespaces,\nand privilege grants. You restore the Postgres instance using `psql`. For more information, see the\n[Postgres documentation][postgres-docs].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/backup-and-restore/physical/ =====\n\n# Physical backups\n\n\n\nFor full instance physical backups (which are especially useful for starting up\nnew [replicas][replication-tutorial]), [`pg_basebackup`][postgres-pg_basebackup]\nworks with all TimescaleDB installation types. You can also use any of several\nexternal backup and restore managers such as [`pg_backrest`][pg-backrest], or [`barman`][pg-barman]. For ongoing physical backups, you can use\n[`wal-e`][wale], although this method is now deprecated. These tools all allow\nyou to take online, physical backups of your entire instance, and many offer\nincremental backups and other automation options.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/backup-and-restore/docker-and-wale/ =====\n\n# Ongoing physical backups with Docker & WAL-E\n\n\n\nWhen you run TimescaleDB in a containerized environment, you can use\n[continuous archiving][pg archiving] with a [WAL-E][wale official] container.\nThese containers are sometimes referred to as sidecars, because they run\nalongside the main container. A [WAL-E sidecar image][wale image]\nworks with TimescaleDB as well as regular Postgres. In this section, you\ncan set up archiving to your local filesystem with a main TimescaleDB\ncontainer called `timescaledb`, and a WAL-E sidecar called `wale`. When you are\nready to implement this in your production deployment, you can adapt the\ninstructions here to do archiving against cloud providers such as AWS S3, and\nrun it in an orchestration framework such as Kubernetes.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You\ncan try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.\n\n## Run the TimescaleDB container in Docker\n\nTo make TimescaleDB use the WAL-E sidecar for archiving, the two containers need\nto share a network. To do this, you need to create a Docker network and then\nlaunch TimescaleDB with archiving turned on, using the newly created network.\nWhen you launch TimescaleDB, you need to explicitly set the location of the\nwrite-ahead log (`POSTGRES_INITDB_WALDIR`) and data directory (`PGDATA`) so that\nyou can share them with the WAL-E sidecar. Both must reside in a Docker volume,\nby default a volume is created for `/var/lib/postgresql/data`. When you have\nstarted TimescaleDB, you can log in and create tables and data.\n\nThis section describes a feature that is deprecated. We strongly\nrecommend that you do not use this feature in a production environment. If you\nneed more information, [contact us](https://www.tigerdata.com/contact/).\n\n### Running the TimescaleDB container in Docker\n\n1. Create the docker container:\n\n ```bash\n docker network create timescaledb-net\n ```\n\n1. Launch TimescaleDB, with archiving turned on:\n\n ```bash\n docker run \\\n --name timescaledb \\\n --network timescaledb-net \\\n -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=insecure \\\n -e POSTGRES_INITDB_WALDIR=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_wal \\\n -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data \\\n timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 postgres \\\n -cwal_level=archive \\\n -carchive_mode=on \\\n -carchive_command=\"/usr/bin/wget wale/wal-push/%f -O -\" \\\n -carchive_timeout=600 \\\n -ccheckpoint_timeout=700 \\\n -cmax_wal_senders=1\n ```\n\n1. Run TimescaleDB within Docker:\n\n ```bash\n docker exec -it timescaledb psql -U postgres\n ```\n\n## Perform the backup using the WAL-E sidecar\n\nThe [WAL-E Docker image][wale image] runs a web endpoint that accepts WAL-E\ncommands across an HTTP API. This allows Postgres to communicate with the\nWAL-E sidecar over the internal network to trigger archiving. You can also use\nthe container to invoke WAL-E directly. The Docker image accepts standard WAL-E\nenvironment variables to configure the archiving backend, so you can issue\ncommands from services such as AWS S3. For information about configuring, see\nthe official [WAL-E documentation][wale official].\n\nTo enable the WAL-E docker image to perform archiving, it needs to use the same\nnetwork and data volumes as the TimescaleDB container. It also needs to know the\nlocation of the write-ahead log and data directories. You can pass all this\ninformation to WAL-E when you start it. In this example, the WAL-E image listens\nfor commands on the `timescaledb-net` internal network at port 80, and writes\nbackups to `~/backups` on the Docker host.\n\n### Performing the backup using the WAL-E sidecar\n\n1. Start the WAL-E container with the required information about the container.\n In this example, the container is called `timescaledb-wale`:\n\n ```bash\n docker run \\\n --name wale \\\n --network timescaledb-net \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb \\\n -v ~/backups:/backups \\\n -e WALE_LOG_DESTINATION=stderr \\\n -e PGWAL=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_wal \\\n -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data \\\n -e PGHOST=timescaledb \\\n -e PGPASSWORD=insecure \\\n -e PGUSER=postgres \\\n -e WALE_FILE_PREFIX=file://localhost/backups \\\n timescale/timescaledb-wale:latest\n ```\n\n1. Start the backup:\n\n ```bash\n docker exec wale wal-e backup-push /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data\n ```\n\n Alternatively, you can start the backup using the sidecar's HTTP endpoint.\n This requires exposing the sidecar's port 80 on the Docker host by mapping\n it to an open port. In this example, it is mapped to port 8080:\n\n ```bash\n curl http://localhost:8080/backup-push\n ```\n\nYou should do base backups at regular intervals daily, to minimize\nthe amount of WAL-E replay, and to make recoveries faster. To make new base\nbackups, re-trigger a base backup as shown here, either manually or on a\nschedule. If you run TimescaleDB on Kubernetes, there is built-in support for\nscheduling cron jobs that can invoke base backups using the WAL-E container's\nHTTP API.\n\n## Recovery\n\nTo recover the database instance from the backup archive, create a new TimescaleDB\ncontainer, and restore the database and configuration files from the base\nbackup. Then you can relaunch the sidecar and the database.\n\n### Restoring database files from backup\n\n1. Create the docker container:\n\n ```bash\n docker create \\\n --name timescaledb-recovered \\\n --network timescaledb-net \\\n -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=insecure \\\n -e POSTGRES_INITDB_WALDIR=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_wal \\\n -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data \\\n timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 postgres\n ```\n\n1. Restore the database files from the base backup:\n\n ```bash\n docker run -it --rm \\\n -v ~/backups:/backups \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb-recovered \\\n -e WALE_LOG_DESTINATION=stderr \\\n -e WALE_FILE_PREFIX=file://localhost/backups \\\n timescale/timescaledb-wale:latest \\wal-e \\\n backup-fetch /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data LATEST\n ```\n\n1. Recreate the configuration files. These are backed up from the original\n database instance:\n\n ```bash\n docker run -it --rm \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb-recovered \\\n timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 \\\n cp /usr/local/share/postgresql/pg_ident.conf.sample /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data/pg_ident.conf\n\n docker run -it --rm \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb-recovered \\\n timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 \\\n\n cp /usr/local/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data/postgresql.conf\n\n docker run -it --rm \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb-recovered \\\n timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 \\\n\n sh -c 'echo \"local all postgres trust\" > /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data/pg_hba.conf'\n ```\n\n1. Create a `recovery.conf` file that tells Postgres how to recover:\n\n ```bash\n docker run -it --rm \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb-recovered \\\n timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg10 \\\n\n sh -c 'echo \"restore_command='\\''/usr/bin/wget wale/wal-fetch/%f -O -'\\''\" > /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data/recovery.conf'\n ```\n\nWhen you have recovered the data and the configuration files, and have created a\nrecovery configuration file, you can relaunch the sidecar. You might need to\nremove the old one first. When you relaunch the sidecar, it replays the last WAL\nsegments that might be missing from the base backup. The you can relaunch the\ndatabase, and check that recovery was successful.\n\n### Relaunch the recovered database\n\n1. Relaunch the WAL-E sidecar:\n\n ```bash\n docker run \\\n --name wale \\\n --network timescaledb-net \\\n -v ~/backups:/backups \\\n --volumes-from timescaledb-recovered \\\n -e WALE_LOG_DESTINATION=stderr \\\n -e PGWAL=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_wal \\\n -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data \\\n -e PGHOST=timescaledb \\\n -e PGPASSWORD=insecure \\\n -e PGUSER=postgres \\\n -e WALE_FILE_PREFIX=file://localhost/backups \\\n timescale/timescaledb-wale:latest\n ```\n\n1. Relaunch the TimescaleDB docker container:\n\n ```bash\n docker start timescaledb-recovered\n ```\n\n1. Verify that the database started up and recovered successfully:\n\n ```bash\n docker logs timescaledb-recovered\n ```\n\n Don't worry if you see some archive recovery errors in the log at this\n stage. This happens because the recovery is not completely finalized until\n no more files can be found in the archive. See the Postgres documentation\n on [continuous archiving][pg archiving] for more information.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/uninstall/uninstall-timescaledb/ =====\n\n# Uninstall TimescaleDB\n\nPostgres is designed to be easily extensible. The extensions loaded into the\ndatabase can function just like features that are built in. TimescaleDB extends\nPostgres for time-series data, giving Postgres the high-performance,\nscalability, and analytical capabilities required by modern data-intensive\napplications. If you installed TimescaleDB with Homebrew or MacPorts, you can\nuninstall it without having to uninstall Postgres.\n\n## Uninstalling TimescaleDB using Homebrew\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, remove the TimescaleDB extension:\n\n ```sql\n DROP EXTENSION timescaledb;\n ```\n\n1. At the command prompt, remove `timescaledb` from `shared_preload_libraries`\n in the `postgresql.conf` configuration file:\n\n ```bash\n nano /opt/homebrew/var/postgresql@14/postgresql.conf\n shared_preload_libraries = ''\n ```\n\n1. Save the changes to the `postgresql.conf` file.\n\n1. Restart Postgres:\n\n ```bash\n brew services restart postgresql\n ```\n\n1. Check that the TimescaleDB extension is uninstalled by using the `\\dx`\n command at the `psql` prompt. Output is similar to:\n\n ```sql\n tsdb-# \\dx\n List of installed extensions\n Name | Version | Schema | Description\n -------------+---------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------\n plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language\n (1 row)\n ```\n\n1. Uninstall TimescaleDB:\n\n ```bash\n brew uninstall timescaledb\n ```\n\n1. Remove all the dependencies and related files:\n\n ```bash\n brew remove timescaledb\n ```\n\n## Uninstalling TimescaleDB using MacPorts\n\n1.

This works in the same way as a minor\nupgrade.\n\nDowngrading is not supported for all versions. Generally, downgrades between\npatch versions and between consecutive minor versions are supported. For\nexample, you can downgrade from TimescaleDB 2.5.2 to 2.5.1, or from 2.5.0 to\n2.4.2.

This means\nthat you do not need to dump and restore your data. However, it is still\nimportant that you plan for your downgrade ahead of time.\n\nBefore you downgrade:\n\n* Read [the release notes][relnotes] for the TimescaleDB version you are\n downgrading to.\n* Check which Postgres version you are currently running. You might need to\n [upgrade to the latest Postgres version][upgrade-pg]\n before you begin your TimescaleDB downgrade.\n* [Perform a backup][backup] of your database. While TimescaleDB\n downgrades are performed in-place, downgrading is an intrusive operation.\n Always make sure you have a backup on hand, and that the backup is readable in\n the case of disaster.\n\n## Downgrade TimescaleDB to a previous minor version\n\nThis downgrade uses the Postgres `ALTER EXTENSION` function to downgrade to\na previous version of the TimescaleDB extension. TimescaleDB supports having\ndifferent extension versions on different databases within the same Postgres\ninstance. This allows you to upgrade and downgrade extensions independently on\ndifferent databases. Run the `ALTER EXTENSION` function on each database to\ndowngrade them individually.\n\n\n\nThe downgrade script is tested and supported for single-step downgrades. That\nis, downgrading from the current version, to the previous minor version.\nDowngrading might not work if you have made changes to your database between\nupgrading and downgrading.\n\n\n\n1. **Set your connection string**\n\n This variable holds the connection information for the database to upgrade:\n\n ```bash\n export SOURCE=\"postgres://:@:/\"\n ```\n\n2. **Connect to your database instance**\n ```shell\n psql -X -d source\n ```\n\n The `-X` flag prevents any `.psqlrc` commands from accidentally triggering the load of a\n previous TimescaleDB version on session startup.\n\n1. **Downgrade the TimescaleDB extension**\n This must be the first command you execute in the current session:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE TO '';\n ```\n\n For example:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE TO '2.17.0';\n ```\n\n1. **Check that you have downgraded to the correct version of TimescaleDB**\n\n ```sql\n \\dx timescaledb;\n ```\n Postgres returns something like:\n ```shell\n Name | Version | Schema | Description\n -------------+---------+--------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n timescaledb | 2.17.0 | public | Enables scalable inserts and complex queries for time-series data (Community Edition)\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/upgrades/minor-upgrade/ =====\n\n# Minor TimescaleDB upgrades\n\n\n\nA minor upgrade is when you update from TimescaleDB `.x` to TimescaleDB `.y`.\nA major upgrade is when you update from TimescaleDB `X.` to `Y.`.\nYou can run different versions of TimescaleDB on different databases within the same Postgres instance.\nThis process uses the Postgres `ALTER EXTENSION` function to upgrade TimescaleDB independently on different\ndatabases.\n\nTiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high\navailability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more.

The access node still relies on a\nstreaming replication standby, but the data nodes need no additional\nconfiguration. Instead, the existing pool of data nodes share\nresponsibility to host chunk replicas and handle node failures.\n\nThere are advantages and disadvantages to each approach.\nSetting up standbys for each node in the cluster ensures that\nstandbys are identical at the instance level, and this is a tried\nand tested method to provide high availability. However, it also\nrequires more setting up and maintenance for the mirror cluster.\n\nNative replication typically requires less resources, nodes, and\nconfiguration, and takes advantage of built-in capabilities, such as\nadding and removing data nodes, and different replication factors on\neach distributed hypertable. However, only chunks are replicated on\nthe data nodes.\n\nThe rest of this section discusses native replication. To set up\nstandbys for each node, follow the instructions for [single node\nHA][single-ha].\n\n## Native replication\n\nNative replication is a set of capabilities and APIs that allow you to\nbuild a highly available multi-node TimescaleDB installation. At the\ncore of native replication is the ability to write copies of a chunk\nto multiple data nodes in order to have alternative _chunk replicas_\nin case of a data node failure. If one data node fails, its chunks\nshould be available on at least one other data node. If a data node is\npermanently lost, a new data node can be added to the cluster, and\nlost chunk replicas can be re-replicated from other data nodes to\nreach the number of desired chunk replicas.\n\n\n\nNative replication in TimescaleDB is under development and\ncurrently lacks functionality for a complete high-availability\nsolution. Some functionality described in this section is still\nexperimental. For production environments, we recommend setting up\nstandbys for each node in a multi-node cluster.\n\n\n\n### Automation\n\nSimilar to how high-availability configurations for single-node\nPostgres uses a system like Patroni for automatically handling\nfail-over, native replication requires an external entity to\norchestrate fail-over, chunk re-replication, and data node\nmanagement. This orchestration is _not_ provided by default in\nTimescaleDB and therefore needs to be implemented separately. The\nsections below describe how to enable native replication and the steps\ninvolved to implement high availability in case of node failures.\n\n### Configuring native replication\n\nThe first step to enable native replication is to configure a standby\nfor the access node. This process is identical to setting up a [single\nnode standby][single-ha].\n\nThe next step is to enable native replication on a distributed\nhypertable. Native replication is governed by the\n`replication_factor`, which determines how many data nodes a chunk is\nreplicated to. This setting is configured separately for each\nhypertable, which means the same database can have some distributed\nhypertables that are replicated and others that are not.\n\nBy default, the replication factor is set to `1`, so there is no\nnative replication. You can increase this number when you create the\nhypertable. For example, to replicate the data across a total of three\ndata nodes:\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location',\n replication_factor => 3);\n```\n\nAlternatively, you can use the\n[`set_replication_factor`][set_replication_factor] call to change the\nreplication factor on an existing distributed hypertable. Note,\nhowever, that only new chunks are replicated according to the\nupdated replication factor. Existing chunks need to be re-replicated\nby copying those chunks to new data nodes (see the [node\nfailures section](#node-failures) below).\n\nWhen native replication is enabled, the replication happens whenever\nyou write data to the table. On every `INSERT` and `COPY` call, each\nrow of the data is written to multiple data nodes. This means that you\ndon't need to do any extra steps to have newly ingested data\nreplicated. When you query replicated data, the query planner only\nincludes one replica of each chunk in the query plan.\n\n### Node failures\n\nWhen a data node fails, inserts that attempt to write to the failed\nnode result in an error. This is to preserve data consistency in\ncase the data node becomes available again. You can use the\n[`alter_data_node`][alter_data_node] call to mark a failed data node\nas unavailable by running this query:\n\n```sql\nSELECT alter_data_node('data_node_2', available => false);\n```\n\nSetting `available => false` means that the data node is no longer\nused for reads and writes queries.\n\nTo fail over reads, the [`alter_data_node`][alter_data_node] call finds\nall the chunks for which the unavailable data node is the primary query\ntarget and fails over to a chunk replica on another data node.\nHowever, if some chunks do not have a replica to fail over to, a warning\nis raised. Reads continue to fail for chunks that do not have a chunk\nreplica on any other data nodes.\n\nTo fail over writes, any activity that intends to write to the failed\nnode marks the involved chunk as stale for the specific failed\nnode by changing the metadata on the access node. This is only done\nfor natively replicated chunks. This allows you to continue to write\nto other chunk replicas on other data nodes while the failed node has\nbeen marked as unavailable. Writes continue to fail for chunks that do\nnot have a chunk replica on any other data nodes. Also note that chunks\non the failed node which do not get written into are not affected.\n\nWhen you mark a chunk as stale, the chunk becomes under-replicated.\nWhen the failed data node becomes available then such chunks can be\nre-balanced using the [`copy_chunk`][copy_chunk] API.\n\nIf waiting for the data node to come back is not an option, either because\nit takes too long or the node is permanently failed, one can delete it instead.\nTo be able to delete a data node, all of its chunks must have at least one\nreplica on other data nodes. For example:\n\n```sql\nSELECT delete_data_node('data_node_2', force => true);\nWARNING: distributed hypertable \"conditions\" is under-replicated\n```\n\nUse the `force` option when you delete the data node if the deletion\nmeans that the cluster no longer achieves the desired replication\nfactor. This would be the normal case unless the data node has no\nchunks or the distributed hypertable has more chunk replicas than the\nconfigured replication factor.\n\n\nYou cannot force the deletion of a data node if it would mean that a multi-node\ncluster permanently loses data.\n\n\nWhen you have successfully removed a failed data node, or marked a\nfailed data node unavailable, some data chunks might lack replicas but\nqueries and inserts work as normal again. However, the cluster stays in\na vulnerable state until all chunks are fully replicated.\n\nWhen you have restored a failed data node or marked it available again, you can\nsee the chunks that need to be replicated with this query:\n\n\n\n```sql\nSELECT chunk_schema, chunk_name, replica_nodes, non_replica_nodes\nFROM timescaledb_experimental.chunk_replication_status\nWHERE hypertable_name = 'conditions' AND num_replicas < desired_num_replicas;\n```\n\nThe output from this query looks like this:\n\n```sql\n chunk_schema | chunk_name | replica_nodes | non_replica_nodes\n-----------------------+-----------------------+---------------+---------------------------\n _timescaledb_internal | _dist_hyper_1_1_chunk | {data_node_3} | {data_node_1,data_node_2}\n _timescaledb_internal | _dist_hyper_1_3_chunk | {data_node_1} | {data_node_2,data_node_3}\n _timescaledb_internal | _dist_hyper_1_4_chunk | {data_node_3} | {data_node_1,data_node_2}\n(3 rows)\n```\n\nWith the information from the chunk replication status view, an\nunder-replicated chunk can be copied to a new node to ensure the chunk\nhas the sufficient number of replicas. For example:\n\n\n\n```sql\nCALL timescaledb_experimental.copy_chunk('_timescaledb_internal._dist_hyper_1_1_chunk', 'data_node_3', 'data_node_2');\n```\n\n>\nWhen you restore chunk replication, the operation uses more than one transaction. This means that it cannot be automatically rolled back. If you cancel the operation before it is completed, an operation ID for the copy is logged. You can use this operation ID to clean up any state left by the cancelled operation. For example:\n\n\n\n```sql\nCALL timescaledb_experimental.cleanup_copy_chunk_operation('ts_copy_1_31');\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-setup/ =====\n\n# Set up multi-node on self-hosted TimescaleDB\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nTo set up multi-node on a self-hosted TimescaleDB instance, you need:\n\n* A Postgres instance to act as an access node (AN)\n* One or more Postgres instances to act as data nodes (DN)\n* TimescaleDB [installed][install] and [set up][setup] on all nodes\n* Access to a superuser role, such as `postgres`, on all nodes\n\nThe access and data nodes must begin as individual TimescaleDB instances.\nThey should be hosts with a running Postgres server and a loaded TimescaleDB\nextension. For more information about installing self-hosted TimescaleDB\ninstances, see the [installation instructions][install]. Additionally, you\ncan configure [high availability with multi-node][multi-node-ha] to\nincrease redundancy and resilience.\n\nThe multi-node TimescaleDB architecture consists of an access node (AN) which\nstores metadata for the distributed hypertable and performs query planning\nacross the cluster, and a set of data nodes (DNs) which store subsets of the\ndistributed hypertable dataset and execute queries locally. For more information\nabout the multi-node architecture, see [about multi-node][about-multi-node].\n\nIf you intend to use continuous aggregates in your multi-node environment, check\nthe additional considerations in the [continuous aggregates][caggs] section.\n\n## Set up multi-node on self-hosted TimescaleDB\n\nWhen you have installed TimescaleDB on the access node and as many data nodes as\nyou require, you can set up multi-node and create a distributed hypertable.\n\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have considered what partitioning method you\nwant to use for your multi-node cluster. For more information about multi-node\nand architecture, see the\n[About multi-node section](https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/latest/multinode-timescaledb/about-multinode/).\n\n\n### Setting up multi-node on self-hosted TimescaleDB\n\n1. On the access node (AN), run this command and provide the hostname of the\n first data node (DN1) you want to add:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_data_node('dn1', 'dn1.example.com')\n ```\n\n1. Repeat for all other data nodes:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_data_node('dn2', 'dn2.example.com')\n SELECT add_data_node('dn3', 'dn3.example.com')\n ```\n\n1. On the access node, create the distributed hypertable with your chosen\n partitioning. In this example, the distributed hypertable is called\n `example`, and it is partitioned on `time` and `location`:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_distributed_hypertable('example', 'time', 'location');\n ```\n\n1. Insert some data into the hypertable. For example:\n\n ```sql\n INSERT INTO example VALUES ('2020-12-14 13:45', 1, '1.2.3.4');\n ```\n\nWhen you have set up your multi-node installation, you can configure your\ncluster. For more information, see the [configuration section][configuration].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-auth/ =====\n\n# Multi-node authentication\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nWhen you have your instances set up, you need to configure them to accept\nconnections from the access node to the data nodes. The authentication mechanism\nyou choose for this can be different than the one used by external clients to\nconnect to the access node.\n\nHow you set up your multi-node cluster depends on which authentication mechanism\nyou choose. The options are:\n\n* Trust authentication. This is the simplest approach, but also the\n least secure. This is a good way to start if you are trying out multi-node,\n but is not recommended for production clusters.\n* Pasword authentication. Every user role requires an internal password for\n establishing connections between the access node and the data nodes. This\n method is easier to set up than certificate authentication, but provides\n only a basic level of protection.\n* Certificate authentication. Every user role requires a certificate from a\n certificate authority to establish connections between the access node and\n the data nodes. This method is more complex to set up than password\n authentication, but more secure and easier to automate.\n\n\nGoing beyond the simple trust approach to create a secure system can be complex,\nbut it is important to secure your database appropriately for your environment.\nWe do not recommend any one security model, but encourage you to perform a risk\nassessment and implement the security model that best suits your environment.\n\n\n## Trust authentication\n\nTrusting all incoming connections is the quickest way to get your multi-node\nenvironment up and running, but it is not a secure method of operation. Use this\nonly for developing a proof of concept, do not use this method for production\ninstallations.\n\n\nThe trust authentication method allows insecure access to all nodes. Do not use\nthis method in production. It is not a secure method of operation.\n\n\n### Setting up trust authentication\n\n1. Connect to the access node with `psql`, and locate the `pg_hba.conf` file:\n\n ```sql\n SHOW hba_file;\n ```\n\n1. Open the `pg_hba.conf` file in your preferred text editor, and add this\n line. In this example, the access node is located at IP `192.0.2.20` with a\n mask length of `32`. You can add one of these two lines:\n\n ```txt\n\n\n host all all 192.0.2.20/32 trust\n\n\n host all all 192.0.2.20 255.255.255.255 trust\n\n1. At the command prompt, reload the server configuration:\n\n ```bash\n pg_ctl reload\n ```\n\n On some operating systems, you might need to use the `pg_ctlcluster` command\n instead.\n\n1. If you have not already done so, add the data nodes to the access node. For\n instructions, see the [multi-node setup][multi-node-setup] section.\n1. On the access node, create the trust role. In this example, we call\n the role `testrole`:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE ROLE testrole;\n ```\n\n **OPTIONAL**: If external clients need to connect to the access node\n as `testrole`, add the `LOGIN` option when you create the role. You can\n also add the `PASSWORD` option if you want to require external clients to\n enter a password.\n1. Allow the trust role to access the foreign server objects for the data\n nodes. Make sure you include all the data node names:\n\n ```sql\n GRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER , , ... TO testrole;\n ```\n\n1. On the access node, use the [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] command\n to add the role to all the data nodes:\n\n ```sql\n CALL distributed_exec($$ CREATE ROLE testrole LOGIN $$);\n ```\n\n\nMake sure you create the role with the `LOGIN` privilege on the data nodes, even\nif you don't use this privilege on the access node. For all other privileges,\nensure they are same on the access node and the data nodes.\n\n\n## Password authentication\n\nPassword authentication requires every user role to know a password before it\ncan establish a connection between the access node and the data nodes. This\ninternal password is only used by the access node and it does not need to be\nthe same password as the client uses to connect to the access node. External\nusers do not need to share the internal password at all, it can be set up and\nadministered by the database administrator.\n\nThe access node stores the internal password so that it can verify the correct\npassword has been provided by a data node. We recommend that you store the\npassword on the access node in a local password file, and this section shows you\nhow to set this up. However, if it works better in your environment, you can use\n[user mappings][user-mapping] to store your passwords instead. This is slightly\nless secure than a local pasword file, because it requires one mapping for each\ndata node in your cluster.\n\nThis section sets up your password authentication using SCRAM SHA-256 password\nauthentication. For other password authentication methods, see the\n[Postgres authentication documentation][auth-password].\n\nBefore you start, check that you can use the `postgres` username to log in to\nyour access node.\n\n### Setting up password authentication\n\n1. On the access node, open the `postgresql.conf` configuration file, and add\n or edit this line:\n\n ```txt\n password_encryption = 'scram-sha-256' # md5 or scram-sha-256\n ```\n\n1. Repeat for each of the data nodes.\n1. On each of the data nodes, at the `psql` prompt, locate the `pg_hba.conf`\n configuration file:\n\n ```sql\n SHOW hba_file\n ```\n\n1. On each of the data nodes, open the `pg_hba.conf` configuration file, and\n add or edit this line to enable encrypted authentication to the access\n node:\n\n ```txt\n host all all 192.0.2.20 scram-sha-256 #where '192.0.2.20' is the access node IP\n ```\n\n1. On the access node, open or create the password file at `data/passfile`.\n This file stores the passwords for each role that the access node connects\n to on the data nodes. If you need to change the location of the password\n file, adjust the `timescaledb.passfile` setting in the `postgresql.conf`\n configuration file.\n1. On the access node, open the `passfile` file, and add a line like this for\n each user, starting with the `postgres` user:\n\n ```bash\n *:*:*:postgres:xyzzy #assuming 'xyzzy' is the password for the 'postgres' user\n ```\n\n1. On the access node, at the command prompt, change the permissions of the\n `passfile` file:\n\n ```bash\n chmod 0600 passfile\n ```\n\n1. On the access node, and on each of the data nodes, reload the server\n configuration to pick up the changes:\n\n ```bash\n pg_ctl reload\n ```\n\n1. If you have not already done so, add the data nodes to the access node. For\n instructions, see the [multi-node setup][multi-node-setup] section.\n1. On the access node, at the `psql` prompt, create additional roles, and\n grant them access to foreign server objects for the data nodes:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE ROLE testrole PASSWORD 'clientpass' LOGIN;\n GRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER , , ... TO testrole;\n ```\n\n The `clientpass` password is used by external clients to connect to the\n access node as user `testrole`. If the access node is configured to accept\n other authentication methods, or the role is not a login role, then you\n might not need to do this step.\n1. On the access node, add the new role to each of the data nodes with\n [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec]. Make sure you add the `PASSWORD`\n parameter to specify a different password to use when connecting to the\n data nodes with role `testrole`:\n\n ```sql\n CALL distributed_exec($$ CREATE ROLE testrole PASSWORD 'internalpass' LOGIN $$);\n ```\n\n1. On the access node, add the new role to the `passfile` you created earlier,\n by adding this line:\n\n ```bash\n *:*:*:testrole:internalpass #assuming 'internalpass' is the password used to connect to data nodes\n ```\n\n\nAny user passwords that you created before you set up password authentication\nneed to be re-created so that they use the new encryption method.\n\n\n## Certificate authentication\n\nThis method is a bit more complex to set up than password authentication, but\nit is more secure, easier to automate, and can be customized to your security environment.\n\nTo use certificates, the access node and each data node need three files:\n\n* The root CA certificate, called `root.crt`. This certificate serves as the\n root of trust in the system. It is used to verify the other certificates.\n* A node certificate, called `server.crt`. This certificate provides the node\n with a trusted identity in the system.\n* A node certificate key, called `server.key`. This provides proof of\n ownership of the node certificate. Make sure you keep this file private on\n the node where it is generated.\n\nYou can purchase certificates from a commercial certificate authority (CA), or\ngenerate your own self-signed CA. This section shows you how to use your access\nnode certificate to create and sign new user certificates for the data nodes.\n\nKeys and certificates serve different purposes on the data nodes and access\nnode. For the access node, a signed certificate is used to verify user\ncertificates for access. For the data nodes, a signed certificate authenticates\nthe node to the access node.\n\n### Generating a self-signed root certificate for the access node\n\n1. On the access node, at the command prompt, generate a private key called\n `auth.key`:\n\n ```bash\n openssl genpkey -algorithm rsa -out auth.key\n ```\n\n1. Generate a self-signed root certificate for the certificate authority (CA),\n called `root.cert`:\n\n ```bash\n openssl req -new -key auth.key -days 3650 -out root.crt -x509\n ```\n\n1. Complete the questions asked by the script to create your root certificate.\n Type your responses in, press `enter` to accept the default value shown in\n brackets, or type `.` to leave the field blank. For example:\n\n ```txt\n Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US\n State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:New York\n Locality Name (eg, city) []:New York\n Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgets Pty Ltd]:Example Company Pty Ltd\n Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:\n Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:http://cert.example.com/\n Email Address []:\n ```\n\nWhen you have created the root certificate on the access node, you can generate\ncertificates and keys for each of the data nodes. To do this, you need to create\na certificate signing request (CSR) for each data node.\n\nThe default names for the key is `server.key`, and for the certificate is\n`server.crt`. They are stored in together, in the `data` directory on the data\nnode instance.\n\nThe default name for the CSR is `server.csr` and you need to sign\nit using the root certificate you created on the access node.\n\n### Generating keys and certificates for data nodes\n\n1. On the access node, generate a certificate signing request (CSR)\n called `server.csr`, and create a new key called `server.key`:\n\n ```bash\n openssl req -out server.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes \\\n -keyout server.key\n ```\n\n1. Sign the CSR using the root certificate CA you created earlier,\n called `auth.key`:\n\n ```bash\n openssl ca -extensions v3_intermediate_ca -days 3650 -notext \\\n -md sha256 -in server.csr -out server.crt\n ```\n\n1. Move the `server.crt` and `server.key` files from the access node, on to\n each data node, in the `data` directory. Depending on your network setup,\n you might need to use portable media.\n1. Copy the root certificate file `root.crt` from the access node, on to each\n data node, in the `data` directory. Depending on your network setup, you\n might need to use portable media.\n\nWhen you have created the certificates and keys, and moved all the files into\nthe right places on the data nodes, you can configure the data nodes to use SSL\nauthentication.\n\n### Configuring data nodes to use SSL authentication\n\n1. On each data node, open the `postgresql.conf` configuration file and add or\n edit the SSL settings to enable certificate authentication:\n\n ```txt\n ssl = on\n ssl_ca_file = 'root.crt'\n ssl_cert_file = 'server.crt'\n ssl_key_file = 'server.key'\n ```\n\n1. [](#)If you want the access node to use certificate authentication\n for login, make these changes on the access node as well.\n\n1. On each data node, open the `pg_hba.conf` configuration file, and add or\n edit this line to allow any SSL user log in with client certificate\n authentication:\n\n ```txt\n hostssl all all all cert clientcert=1\n ```\n\n\nIf you are using the default names for your certificate and key, you do not need\nto explicitly set them. The configuration looks for `server.crt` and\n`server.key` by default. If you use different names for your certificate and\nkey, make sure you specify the correct names in the `postgresql.conf`\nconfiguration file.\n\n\nWhen your data nodes are configured to use SSL certificate authentication, you\nneed to create a signed certificate and key for your access node. This allows\nthe access node to log in to the data nodes.\n\n### Creating certificates and keys for the access node\n\n1. On the access node, as the `postgres` user, compute a base name for the\n certificate files using [md5sum][], generate a subject identifier, and\n create names for the key and certificate files:\n\n ```bash\n pguser=postgres\n base=`echo -n $pguser | md5sum | cut -c1-32`\n subj=\"/C=US/ST=New York/L=New York/O=Timescale/OU=Engineering/CN=$pguser\"\n key_file=\"timescaledb/certs/$base.key\"\n crt_file=\"timescaledb/certs/$base.crt\"\n ```\n\n1. Generate a new random user key:\n\n ```bash\n openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out \"$key_file\"\n ```\n\n1. Generate a certificate signing request (CSR). This file is temporary,\n stored in the `data` directory, and is deleted later on:\n\n ```bash\n openssl req -new -sha256 -key $key_file -out \"$base.csr\" -subj \"$subj\"\n ```\n\n1. Sign the CSR with the access node key:\n\n ```bash\n openssl ca -batch -keyfile server.key -extensions v3_intermediate_ca \\\n -days 3650 -notext -md sha256 -in \"$base.csr\" -out \"$crt_file\"\n rm $base.csr\n ```\n\n1. Append the node certificate to the user certificate. This completes the\n certificate verification chain and makes sure that all certificates are\n available on the data node, up to the trusted certificate stored\n in `root.crt`:\n\n ```bash\n cat >>$crt_file , , ... TO testrole;\n ```\n\n If you need external clients to connect to the access node as `testrole`,\n make sure you also add the `LOGIN` option. You can also enable password\n authentication by adding the `PASSWORD` option.\n\n1. On the access node, use the [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] command\n to add the role to all the data nodes:\n\n ```sql\n CALL distributed_exec($$ CREATE ROLE testrole LOGIN $$);\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-grow-shrink/ =====\n\n# Grow and shrink multi-node\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nWhen you are working within a multi-node environment, you might discover that\nyou need more or fewer data nodes in your cluster over time. You can choose how\nmany of the available nodes to use when creating a distributed hypertable. You\ncan also add and remove data nodes from your cluster, and move data between\nchunks on data nodes as required to free up storage.\n\n## See which data nodes are in use\n\nYou can check which data nodes are in use by a distributed hypertable, using\nthis query. In this example, our distributed hypertable is called\n`conditions`:\n\n```sql\nSELECT hypertable_name, data_nodes\nFROM timescaledb_information.hypertables\nWHERE hypertable_name = 'conditions';\n```\n\nThe result of this query looks like this:\n\n```sql\nhypertable_name | data_nodes\n-----------------+---------------------------------------\nconditions | {data_node_1,data_node_2,data_node_3}\n```\n\n## Choose how many nodes to use for a distributed hypertable\n\nBy default, when you create a distributed hypertable, it uses all available\ndata nodes. To restrict it to specific nodes, pass the `data_nodes` argument to\n[`create_distributed_hypertable`][create_distributed_hypertable].\n\n## Attach a new data node\n\nWhen you add additional data nodes to a database, you need to add them to the\ndistributed hypertable so that your database can use them.\n\n### Attaching a new data node to a distributed hypertable\n\n1. On the access node, at the `psql` prompt, add the data node:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_data_node('node3', host => 'dn3.example.com');\n ```\n\n1. Attach the new data node to the distributed hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT attach_data_node('node3', hypertable => 'hypertable_name');\n ```\n\n\nWhen you attach a new data node, the partitioning configuration of the\ndistributed hypertable is updated to account for the additional data node, and\nthe number of hash partitions are automatically increased to match. You can\nprevent this happening by setting the function parameter `repartition` to\n`FALSE`.\n\n\n## Move data between chunks Experimental\n\nWhen you attach a new data node to a distributed hypertable, you can move\nexisting data in your hypertable to the new node to free up storage on the\nexisting nodes and make better use of the added capacity.\n\n\nThe ability to move chunks between data nodes is an experimental feature that is\nunder active development. We recommend that you do not use this feature in a\nproduction environment.\n\n\nMove data using this query:\n\n```sql\nCALL timescaledb_experimental.move_chunk('_timescaledb_internal._dist_hyper_1_1_chunk', 'data_node_3', 'data_node_2');\n```\n\nThe move operation uses a number of transactions, which means that you cannot\nroll the transaction back automatically if something goes wrong. If a move\noperation fails, the failure is logged with an operation ID that you can use to\nclean up any state left on the involved nodes.\n\nClean up after a failed move using this query. In this example, the operation ID\nof the failed move is `ts_copy_1_31`:\n\n```sql\nCALL timescaledb_experimental.cleanup_copy_chunk_operation('ts_copy_1_31');\n```\n\n## Remove a data node\n\nYou can also remove data nodes from an existing distributed hypertable.\n\n\nYou cannot remove a data node that still contains data for the distributed\nhypertable. Before you remove the data node, check that is has had all of its\ndata deleted or moved, or that you have replicated the data on to other data\nnodes.\n\n\nRemove a data node using this query. In this example, our distributed hypertable\nis called `conditions`:\n\n```sql\nSELECT detach_data_node('node1', hypertable => 'conditions');\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-administration/ =====\n\n# Multi-node administration\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nMulti-node TimescaleDB allows you to administer your cluster directly\nfrom the access node. When your environment is set up, you do not\nneed to log directly into the data nodes to administer your database.\n\nWhen you perform an administrative task, such as adding a new column,\nchanging privileges, or adding an index on a distributed hypertable,\nyou can perform the task from the access node and it is applied to all\nthe data nodes. If a command is executed on a regular table, however,\nthe effects of that command are only applied locally on the access\nnode. Similarly, if a command is executed directly on a data node, the\nresult is only visible on that data node.\n\nCommands that create or modify schemas, roles, tablespaces, and\nsettings in a distributed database are not automatically distributed\neither. That is because these objects and settings sometimes need to\nbe different on the access node compared to the data nodes, or even\nvary among data nodes. For example, the data nodes could have unique\nCPU, memory, and disk configurations. The node differences make it\nimpossible to assume that a single configuration works for all\nnodes. Further, some settings need to be different on the publicly\naccessible access node compared to data nodes, such as having\ndifferent connection limits. A role might not have the `LOGIN`\nprivilege on the access node, but it needs this privilege on data\nnodes so that the access node can connect.\n\nRoles and tablespaces are also shared across multiple databases on the\nsame instance. Some of these databases might be distributed and some\nmight not be, or be configured with a different set of data\nnodes. Therefore, it is not possible to know for sure when a role or\ntablespace should be distributed to a data node given that these\ncommands can be executed from within different databases, that need\nnot be distributed.\n\nTo administer a multi-node cluster from the access node, you can use\nthe [`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] function. This function\nallows full control over creating and configuring, database settings,\nschemas, roles, and tablespaces across all data nodes.\n\nThe rest of this section describes in more detail how specific\nadministrative tasks are handled in a multi-node environment.\n\n## Distributed role management\n\nIn a multi-node environment, you need to manage roles on each\nPostgres instance independently, because roles are instance-level\nobjects that are shared across both distributed and non-distributed\ndatabases that each can be configured with a different set of data\nnodes or none at all. Therefore, an access node does not\nautomatically distribute roles or role management commands across its\ndata nodes. When a data node is added to a cluster, it is assumed that\nit already has the proper roles necessary to be consistent with the\nrest of the nodes. If this is not the case, you might encounter\nunexpected errors when you try to create or alter objects that depend\non a role that is missing or set incorrectly.\n\nTo help manage roles from the access node, you can use the\n[`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec] function. This is useful for\ncreating and configuring roles across all data nodes in the\ncurrent database.\n\n### Creating a distributed role\n\nWhen you create a distributed role, it is important to consider that\nthe same role might require different configuration on the access node\ncompared to the data nodes. For example, a user might require a\npassword to connect to the access node, while certificate\nauthentication is used between nodes within the cluster. You might\nalso want a connection limit for external connections, but allow\nunlimited internal connections to data nodes. For example, the\nfollowing user can use a password to make 10 connections to the access\nnode but has no limits connecting to the data nodes:\n\n```sql\nCREATE ROLE alice WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'mypassword' CONNECTION LIMIT 10;\nCALL distributed_exec($$ CREATE ROLE alice WITH LOGIN CONNECTION LIMIT -1; $$);\n```\n\nFor more information about setting up authentication, see the\n[multi-node authentication section][multi-node-authentication].\n\nSome roles can also be configured without the `LOGIN` attribute on\nthe access node. This allows you to switch to the role locally, but not\nconnect with the user from a remote location. However, to be able to\nconnect from the access node to a data node as that user, the data\nnodes need to have the role configured with the `LOGIN` attribute\nenabled. To create a non-login role for a multi-node setup, use these\ncommands:\n\n```sql\nCREATE ROLE alice WITHOUT LOGIN;\nCALL distributed_exec($$ CREATE ROLE alice WITH LOGIN; $$);\n```\n\nTo allow a new role to create distributed hypertables it also needs to\nbe granted usage on data nodes, for example:\n\n```sql\nGRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER dn1,dn2,dn3 TO alice;\n```\n\nBy granting usage on some data nodes, but not others, you can\nrestrict usage to a subset of data nodes based on the role.\n\n### Alter a distributed role\n\nWhen you alter a distributed role, use the same process as creating\nroles. The role needs to be altered on the access node and on the data\nnodes in two separate steps. For example, add the `CREATEROLE`\nattribute to a role as follows:\n\n```sql\nALTER ROLE alice CREATEROLE;\nCALL distributed_exec($$ ALTER ROLE alice CREATEROLE; $$);\n```\n\n## Manage distributed databases\n\nA distributed database can contain both distributed and\nnon-distributed objects. In general, when a command is issued to alter\na distributed object, it applies to all nodes that have that object (or\na part of it).\n\nHowever, in some cases settings *should* be different depending on\nnode, because nodes might be provisioned differently (having, for example,\nvarying levels of CPU, memory, and disk capabilities) and the role of\nthe access node is different from a data node's.\n\nThis section describes how and when commands on distributed objects\nare applied across all data nodes when executed from within a\ndistributed database.\n\n### Alter a distributed database\n\nThe [`ALTER DATABASE`][alter-database] command is only applied locally\non the access node. This is because database-level configuration often\nneeds to be different across nodes. For example, this is a setting that\nmight differ depending on the CPU capabilities of the node:\n\n```sql\nALTER DATABASE mydatabase SET max_parallel_workers TO 12;\n```\n\nThe database names can also differ between nodes, even if the\ndatabases are part of the same distributed database. When you rename a\ndata node's database, also make sure to update the configuration of\nthe data node on the access node so that it references the new\ndatabase name.\n\n### Drop a distributed database\n\nWhen you drop a distributed database on the access node, it does not\nautomatically drop the corresponding databases on the data nodes. In\nthis case, you need to connect directly to each data node and drop the\ndatabases locally.\n\nA distributed database is not automatically dropped across all nodes,\nbecause the information about data nodes lives within the distributed\ndatabase on the access node, but it is not possible to read it when\nexecuting the drop command since it cannot be issued when connected to\nthe database.\n\nAdditionally, if a data node has permanently failed, you need to be able\nto drop a database even if one or more data nodes are not responding.\n\nIt is also good practice to leave the data intact on a data node if\npossible. For example, you might want to back up a data node even\nafter a database was dropped on the access node.\n\nAlternatively, you can delete the data nodes with\nthe `drop_database` option prior to dropping the database on the\naccess node:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM delete_data_node('dn1', drop_database => true);\n```\n\n## Create, alter, and drop schemas\n\nWhen you create, alter, or drop schemas, the commands are not\nautomatically applied across all data nodes. A missing schema is,\nhowever, created when a distributed hypertable is created, and the\nschema it belongs to does not exist on a data node.\n\nTo manually create a schema across all data nodes, use this command:\n\n```sql\nCREATE SCHEMA newschema;\nCALL distributed_exec($$ CREATE SCHEMA newschema $$);\n```\n\nIf a schema is created with a particular authorization, then the\nauthorized role must also exist on the data nodes prior to issuing the\ncommand. The same things applies to altering the owner of an existing\nschema.\n\n### Prepare for role removal with DROP OWNED\n\nThe [`DROP OWNED`][drop-owned] command is used to drop all objects owned\nby a role and prepare the role for removal. Execute the following\ncommands to prepare a role for removal across all data nodes in a\ndistributed database:\n\n```sql\nDROP OWNED BY alice CASCADE;\nCALL distributed_exec($$ DROP OWNED BY alice CASCADE $$);\n```\n\nNote, however, that the role might still own objects in other\ndatabases after these commands have been executed.\n\n### Manage privileges\n\nPrivileges configured using [`GRANT`][grant] or [`REVOKE`][revoke]\nstatements are applied to all data nodes when they are run on a\ndistributed hypertable. When granting privileges on other objects, the\ncommand needs to be manually distributed with\n[`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec].\n\n#### Set default privileges\n\nDefault privileges need to be manually modified using\n[`distributed_exec`][distributed_exec], if they are to apply across\nall data nodes. The roles and schemas that the default privileges\nreference need to exist on the data nodes prior to executing the\ncommand.\n\nNew data nodes are assumed to already have any altered\ndefault privileges. The default privileges are not automatically\napplied retrospectively to new data nodes.\n\n## Manage tablespaces\n\nNodes might be configured with different disks, and therefore\ntablespaces need to be configured manually on each node. In\nparticular, an access node might not have the same storage\nconfiguration as data nodes, since it typically does not store a lot\nof data. Therefore, it is not possible to assume that the same\ntablespace configuration exists across all nodes in a multi-node\ncluster.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/about-multinode/ =====\n\n# About multi-node\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nIf you have a larger petabyte-scale workload, you might need more than\none TimescaleDB instance. TimescaleDB multi-node allows you to run and\nmanage a cluster of databases, which can give you faster data ingest,\nand more responsive and efficient queries for large workloads.\n\n\nIn some cases, your queries could be slower in a multi-node cluster due to the\nextra network communication between the various nodes. Queries perform the best\nwhen the query processing is distributed among the nodes and the result set is\nsmall relative to the queried dataset. It is important that you understand\nmulti-node architecture before you begin, and plan your database according to\nyour specific requirements.\n\n\n## Multi-node architecture\n\nMulti-node TimescaleDB allows you to tie several databases together into a\nlogical distributed database to combine the processing power of many physical\nPostgres instances.\n\nOne of the databases exists on an access node and stores\nmetadata about the other databases. The other databases are\nlocated on data nodes and hold the actual data. In theory, a\nPostgres instance can serve as both an access node and a data node\nat the same time in different databases. However, it is recommended not to\nhave mixed setups, because it can be complicated, and server\ninstances are often provisioned differently depending on the role they\nserve.\n\nFor self-hosted installations, create a server that can act as an\naccess node, then use that access node to create data nodes on other\nservers.\n\nWhen you have configured multi-node TimescaleDB, the access node coordinates\nthe placement and access of data chunks on the data nodes. In most\ncases, it is recommend that you use multidimensional partitioning to\ndistribute data across chunks in both time and space dimensions. The\nfigure in this section shows how an access node (AN) partitions data in the same\ntime interval across multiple data nodes (DN1, DN2, and DN3).\n\n\n\nA database user connects to the access node to issue commands and\nexecute queries, similar to how one connects to a regular single\nnode TimescaleDB instance. In most cases, connecting directly to the\ndata nodes is not necessary.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB exists as an extension within a specific\ndatabase, it is possible to have both distributed and non-distributed\ndatabases on the same access node. It is also possible to\nhave several distributed databases that use different sets of physical\ninstances as data nodes. In this section,\nhowever, it is assumed that you have a single\ndistributed database with a consistent set of data nodes.\n\n## Distributed hypertables\n\nIf you use a regular table or hypertable on a distributed database, they are not\nautomatically distributed. Regular tables and hypertables continue to work as\nusual, even when the underlying database is distributed. To enable multi-node\ncapabilities, you need to explicitly create a distributed hypertable on the\naccess node to make use of the data nodes. A distributed hypertable is similar\nto a regular [hypertable][hypertables], but with the difference that chunks are\ndistributed across data nodes instead of on local storage. By distributing the\nchunks, the processing power of the data nodes is combined to achieve higher\ningest throughput and faster queries. However, the ability to achieve good\nperformance is highly dependent on how the data is partitioned across the data\nnodes.\n\nTo achieve good ingest performance, write the data in batches, with each batch\ncontaining data that can be distributed across many data nodes. To achieve good\nquery performance, spread the query across many nodes and have a result set that\nis small relative to the amount of processed data. To achieve this, it is\nimportant to consider an appropriate partitioning method.\n\n### Partitioning methods\n\nData that is ingested into a distributed hypertable is spread across the data\nnodes according to the partitioning method you have chosen. Queries that can be\nsent from the access node to multiple data nodes and processed simultaneously\ngenerally run faster than queries that run on a single data node, so it is\nimportant to think about what kind of data you have, and the type of queries you\nwant to run.\n\nTimescaleDB multi-node currently supports capabilities that make it best suited\nfor large-volume time-series workloads that are partitioned on `time`, and a\nspace dimension such as `location`. If you usually run wide queries that\naggregate data across many locations and devices, choose this partitioning\nmethod. For example, a query like this is faster on a database partitioned on\n`time,location`, because it spreads the work across all the data nodes in\nparallel:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS hour, location, avg(temperature)\nFROM conditions\nGROUP BY hour, location\nORDER BY hour, location\nLIMIT 100;\n```\n\nPartitioning on `time` and a space dimension such as `location`, is also best if\nyou need faster insert performance. If you partition only on time, and your\ninserts are generally occuring in time order, then you are always writing to one\ndata node at a time. Partitioning on `time` and `location` means your\ntime-ordered inserts are spread across multiple data nodes, which can lead to\nbetter performance.\n\nIf you mostly run deep time queries on a single location, you might see better\nperformance by partitioning solely on the `time` dimension, or on a space\ndimension other than `location`. For example, a query like this is faster on a\ndatabase partitioned on `time` only, because the data for a single location is\nspread across all the data nodes, rather than being on a single one:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS hour, avg(temperature)\nFROM conditions\nWHERE location = 'office_1'\nGROUP BY hour\nORDER BY hour\nLIMIT 100;\n```\n\n### Transactions and consistency model\n\nTransactions that occur on distributed hypertables are atomic, just\nlike those on regular hypertables. This means that a distributed\ntransaction that involves multiple data nodes is guaranteed to\neither succeed on all nodes or on none of them. This guarantee\nis provided by the [two-phase commit protocol][2pc], which\nis used to implement distributed transactions in TimescaleDB.\n\nHowever, the read consistency of a distributed hypertable is different\nto a regular hypertable. Because a distributed transaction is a set of\nindividual transactions across multiple nodes, each node can commit\nits local transaction at a slightly different time due to network\ntransmission delays or other small fluctuations. As a consequence, the\naccess node cannot guarantee a fully consistent snapshot of the\ndata across all data nodes. For example, a distributed read\ntransaction might start when another concurrent write transaction is\nin its commit phase and has committed on some data nodes but not\nothers. The read transaction can therefore use a snapshot on one node\nthat includes the other transaction's modifications, while the\nsnapshot on another data node might not include them.\n\nIf you need stronger read consistency in a distributed transaction, then you\ncan use consistent snapshots across all data nodes. However, this\nrequires a lot of coordination and management, which can negatively effect\nperformance, and it is therefore not implemented by default for distributed\nhypertables.\n\n## Using continuous aggregates in a multi-node environment\n\nIf you are using self-hosted TimescaleDB in a multi-node environment, there are some\nadditional considerations for continuous aggregates.\n\nWhen you create a continuous aggregate within a multi-node environment, the\ncontinuous aggregate should be created on the access node. While it is possible\nto create a continuous aggregate on data nodes, it interferes with the\ncontinuous aggregates on the access node and can cause problems.\n\nWhen you refresh a continuous aggregate on an access node, it computes a single\nwindow to update the time buckets. This could slow down your query if the actual\nnumber of rows that were updated is small, but widely spread apart. This is\naggravated if the network latency is high if, for example, you have remote data\nnodes.\n\nInvalidation logs are on kept on the data nodes, which is designed to limit the\namount of data that needs to be transferred. However, some statements send\ninvalidations directly to the log, for example, when dropping a chunk or\ntruncate a hypertable. This action could slow down performance, in comparison to\na local update. Additionally, if you have infrequent refreshes but a lot of\nchanges to the hypertable, the invalidation logs could get very large, which\ncould cause performance issues. Make sure you are maintaining your invalidation\nlog size to avoid this, for example, by refreshing the continuous aggregate\nfrequently.\n\nFor more information about setting up multi-node, see the\n[multi-node section][multi-node]\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-config/ =====\n\n# Multi-node configuration\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nIn addition to the\n[regular TimescaleDB configuration][timescaledb-configuration], it is recommended\nthat you also configure additional settings specific to multi-node operation.\n\n## Update settings\n\nEach of these settings can be configured in the `postgresql.conf` file on the\nindividual node. The `postgresql.conf` file is usually in the `data` directory,\nbut you can locate the correct path by connecting to the node with `psql` and\ngiving this command:\n\n```sql\nSHOW config_file;\n```\n\nAfter you have modified the `postgresql.conf` file, reload the configuration to\nsee your changes:\n\n```bash\npg_ctl reload\n```\n\n\n### `max_prepared_transactions`\n\nIf not already set, ensure that `max_prepared_transactions` is a non-zero value\non all data nodes is set to `150` as a starting point.\n\n### `enable_partitionwise_aggregate`\n\nOn the access node, set the `enable_partitionwise_aggregate` parameter to `on`.\nThis ensures that queries are pushed down to the data nodes, and improves query\nperformance.\n\n### `jit`\n\nOn the access node, set `jit` to `off`. Currently, JIT does not work well with\ndistributed queries. However, you can enable JIT on the data nodes successfully.\n\n### `statement_timeout`\n\nOn the data nodes, disable `statement_timeout`. If you need to enable this,\nenable and configure it on the access node only. This setting is disabled by\ndefault in Postgres, but can be useful if your specific environment is suited.\n\n### `wal_level`\n\nOn the data nodes, set the `wal_level` to `logical` or higher to\n[move][move_chunk] or [copy][copy_chunk] chunks between data nodes. If you\nare moving many chunks in parallel, consider increasing `max_wal_senders` and\n`max_replication_slots` as well.\n\n### Transaction isolation level\n\nFor consistency, if the transaction isolation level is set to `READ COMMITTED`\nit is automatically upgraded to `REPEATABLE READ` whenever a distributed\noperation occurs. If the isolation level is `SERIALIZABLE`, it is not changed.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-maintenance/ =====\n\n# Multi-node maintenance tasks\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nVarious maintenance activities need to be carried out for effective\nupkeep of the distributed multi-node setup. You can use `cron` or\nanother scheduling system outside the database to run these below\nmaintenance jobs on a regular schedule if you prefer. Also make sure\nthat the jobs are scheduled separately for each database that contains\ndistributed hypertables.\n\n## Maintaining distributed transactions\n\nA distributed transaction runs across multiple data nodes, and can remain in a\nnon-completed state if a data node reboots or experiences temporary issues. The\naccess node keeps a log of distributed transactions so that nodes that haven't\ncompleted their part of the distributed transaction can complete it later when\nthey become available. This transaction log requires regular cleanup to remove\ntransactions that have completed, and complete those that haven't.\nWe highly recommended that you configure the access node to run a maintenance\njob that regularly cleans up any unfinished distributed transactions. For example:\n\n\n= 2.12\">\n\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE data_node_maintenance(job_id int, config jsonb)\nLANGUAGE SQL AS\n$$\n SELECT _timescaledb_functions.remote_txn_heal_data_node(fs.oid)\n FROM pg_foreign_server fs, pg_foreign_data_wrapper fdw\n WHERE fs.srvfdw = fdw.oid\n AND fdw.fdwname = 'timescaledb_fdw';\n$$;\n\nSELECT add_job('data_node_maintenance', '5m');\n```\n\n\n\n\n\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE data_node_maintenance(job_id int, config jsonb)\nLANGUAGE SQL AS\n$$\n SELECT _timescaledb_internal.remote_txn_heal_data_node(fs.oid)\n FROM pg_foreign_server fs, pg_foreign_data_wrapper fdw\n WHERE fs.srvfdw = fdw.oid\n AND fdw.fdwname = 'timescaledb_fdw';\n$$;\n\nSELECT add_job('data_node_maintenance', '5m');\n```\n\n\n\n\n## Statistics for distributed hypertables\n\nOn distributed hypertables, the table statistics need to be kept updated.\nThis allows you to efficiently plan your queries. Because of the nature of\ndistributed hypertables, you can't use the `auto-vacuum` tool to gather\nstatistics. Instead, you can explicitly ANALYZE the distributed hypertable\nperiodically using a maintenance job, like this:\n\n```sql\nCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE distributed_hypertables_analyze(job_id int, config jsonb)\nLANGUAGE plpgsql AS\n$$\nDECLARE r record;\nBEGIN\nFOR r IN SELECT hypertable_schema, hypertable_name\n FROM timescaledb_information.hypertables\n WHERE is_distributed ORDER BY 1, 2\nLOOP\nEXECUTE format('ANALYZE %I.%I', r.hypertable_schema, r.hypertable_name);\nEND LOOP;\nEND\n$$;\n\nSELECT add_job('distributed_hypertables_analyze', '12h');\n```\n\nYou can merge the jobs in this example into a single maintenance job\nif you prefer. However, analyzing distributed hypertables should be\ndone less frequently than remote transaction healing activity. This\nis because the former could analyze a large number of remote chunks\neverytime and can be expensive if called too frequently.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/migration/migrate-influxdb/ =====\n\n# Migrate data to TimescaleDB from InfluxDB\n\nYou can migrate data to TimescaleDB from InfluxDB using the Outflux tool.\n[Outflux][outflux] is an open source tool built by Tiger Data for fast, seamless\nmigrations. It pipes exported data directly to self-hosted TimescaleDB, and manages schema\ndiscovery, validation, and creation.\n\n\n\nOutflux works with earlier versions of InfluxDB. It does not work with InfluxDB\nversion 2 and later.\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you start, make sure you have:\n\n* A running instance of InfluxDB and a means to connect to it.\n* An [self-hosted TimescaleDB instance][install] and a means to connect to it.\n* Data in your InfluxDB instance.\n\n## Procedures\n\nTo import data from Outflux, follow these procedures:\n\n1. [Install Outflux][install-outflux]\n1. [Discover, validate, and transfer schema][discover-validate-and-transfer-schema] to self-hosted TimescaleDB (optional)\n1. [Migrate data to Timescale][migrate-data-to-timescale]\n\n## Install Outflux\n\nInstall Outflux from the GitHub repository. There are builds for Linux, Windows,\nand MacOS.\n\n1. Go to the [releases section][outflux-releases] of the Outflux repository.\n1. Download the latest compressed tarball for your platform.\n1. Extract it to a preferred location.\n\n\n\nIf you prefer to build Outflux from source, see the [Outflux README][outflux-readme] for\ninstructions.\n\n\n\nTo get help with Outflux, run `./outflux --help` from the directory\nwhere you installed it.\n\n## Discover, validate, and transfer schema\n\nOutflux can:\n\n* Discover the schema of an InfluxDB measurement\n* Validate whether a table exists that can hold the transferred data\n* Create a new table to satisfy the schema requirements if no valid table\n exists\n\n\n\nOutflux's `migrate` command does schema transfer and data migration in one step.\nFor more information, see the [migrate][migrate-data-to-timescale] section.\nUse this section if you want to validate and transfer your schema independently\nof data migration.\n\n\n\nTo transfer your schema from InfluxDB to Timescale, run `outflux\nschema-transfer`:\n\n```bash\noutflux schema-transfer \\\n--input-server=http://localhost:8086 \\\n--output-conn=\"dbname=tsdb user=tsdbadmin\"\n```\n\nTo transfer all measurements from the database, leave out the measurement name\nargument.\n\n\n\nThis example uses the `postgres` user and database to connect to the self-hosted TimescaleDB instance. For other connection options and configuration, see the [Outflux\nGithub repo][outflux-gitbuh].\n\n\n\n### Schema transfer options\n\nOutflux's `schema-transfer` can use 1 of 4 schema strategies:\n\n* `ValidateOnly`: checks that self-hosted TimescaleDB is installed and that the specified\n database has a properly partitioned hypertable with the correct columns, but\n doesn't perform modifications\n* `CreateIfMissing`: runs the same checks as `ValidateOnly`, and creates and\n properly partitions any missing hypertables\n* `DropAndCreate`: drops any existing table with the same name as the\n measurement, and creates a new hypertable and partitions it properly\n* `DropCascadeAndCreate`: performs the same action as `DropAndCreate`, and\n also executes a cascade table drop if there is an existing table with the\n same name as the measurement\n\nYou can specify your schema strategy by passing a value to the\n`--schema-strategy` option in the `schema-transfer` command. The default\nstrategy is `CreateIfMissing`.\n\nBy default, each tag and field in InfluxDB is treated as a separate column in\nyour TimescaleDB tables. To transfer tags and fields as a single JSONB column,\nuse the flag `--tags-as-json`.\n\n## Migrate data to TimescaleDB\n\nTransfer your schema and migrate your data all at once with the `migrate`\ncommand.\n\nFor example, run:\n\n```bash\noutflux migrate \\\n--input-server=http://localhost:8086 \\\n--output-conn=\"dbname=tsdb user=tsdbadmin\"\n```\n\nThe schema strategy and connection options are the same as for\n`schema-transfer`. For more information, see\n[Discover, validate, and transfer schema][discover-validate-and-transfer-schema].\n\nIn addition, `outflux migrate` also takes the following flags:\n\n* `--limit`: Pass a number, `N`, to `--limit` to export only the first `N`\n rows, ordered by time.\n* `--from` and `to`: Pass a timestamp to `--from` or `--to` to specify a time\n window of data to migrate.\n* `chunk-size`: Changes the size of data chunks transferred. Data is pulled\n from the InfluxDB server in chunks of default size 15 000.\n* `batch-size`: Changes the number of rows in an insertion batch. Data is\n inserted into a self-hosted TimescaleDB database in batches that are 8000 rows by default.\n\nFor more flags, see the [Github documentation for `outflux\nmigrate`][outflux-migrate]. Alternatively, see the command line help:\n\n```bash\noutflux migrate --help\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/migration/entire-database/ =====\n\n# Migrate the entire database at once\n\nMigrate smaller databases by dumping and restoring the entire database at once.\nThis method works best on databases smaller than 100 GB. For larger\ndatabases, consider [migrating your schema and data\nseparately][migrate-separately].\n\n\n\nDepending on your database size and network speed, migration can take a very\nlong time. You can continue reading from your source database during this time,\nthough performance could be slower. To avoid this problem, fork your database\nand migrate your data from the fork. If you write to tables in your source\ndatabase during the migration, the new writes might not be transferred to\nTimescale. To avoid this problem, see [Live migration][live-migration].\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, check that you have:\n\n* Installed the Postgres [`pg_dump`][pg_dump] and [`pg_restore`][pg_restore]\n utilities.\n* Installed a client for connecting to Postgres. These instructions use\n [`psql`][psql], but any client works.\n* Created a new empty database in your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance. For more information, see\n [Install TimescaleDB][install-selfhosted-timescale]. Provision\n your database with enough space for all your data.\n* Checked that any other Postgres extensions you use are compatible with\n Timescale. For more information, see the [list of compatible\n extensions][extensions]. Install your other Postgres extensions.\n* Checked that you're running the same major version of Postgres on both\n your target and source databases. For information about upgrading\n Postgres on your source database, see the\n [upgrade instructions for self-hosted TimescaleDB][upgrading-postgresql-self-hosted].\n* Checked that you're running the same major version of TimescaleDB on both\n your target and source databases. For more information, see\n [upgrade self-hosted TimescaleDB][upgrading-timescaledb].\n\n\n\nTo speed up migration, compress your data into the columnstore. You can compress any chunks where\ndata is not currently inserted, updated, or deleted. When you finish the\nmigration, you can decompress chunks back to the rowstore as needed for normal operation. For more\ninformation about the rowstore and columnstore compression, see [hypercore][compression].\n\n\n\n### Migrating the entire database at once\n\n1. Dump all the data from your source database into a `dump.bak` file, using your\n source database connection details. If you are prompted for a password, use\n your source database credentials:\n\n ```bash\n pg_dump -U -W \\\n -h -p -Fc -v \\\n -f dump.bak \n ```\n\n1.

This method copies each table or chunk separately, which allows you to\nrestart midway if one copy operation fails.\n\n\n\nFor smaller databases, it may be more convenient to migrate your entire database\nat once. For more information, see the section on\n[choosing a migration method][migration].\n\n\n\n\n\nThis method does not retain continuous aggregates calculated using\nalready-deleted data. For example, if you delete raw data after a month but\nretain downsampled data in a continuous aggregate for a year, the continuous\naggregate loses any data older than a month upon migration. If you must keep\ncontinuous aggregates calculated using deleted data, migrate your entire\ndatabase at once. For more information, see the section on\n[choosing a migration method][migration].\n\n\n\nThe procedure to migrate your database requires these steps:\n\n* [Migrate schema pre-data](#migrate-schema-pre-data)\n* [Restore hypertables in Timescale](#restore-hypertables-in-timescale)\n* [Copy data from the source database](#copy-data-from-the-source-database)\n* [Restore data into Timescale](#restore-data-into-timescale)\n* [Migrate schema post-data](#migrate-schema-post-data)\n* [Recreate continuous aggregates](#recreate-continuous-aggregates) (optional)\n* [Recreate policies](#recreate-policies) (optional)\n* [Update table statistics](#update-table-statistics)\n\n\n\nDepending on your database size and network speed, steps that involve copying\ndata can take a very long time. You can continue reading from your source\ndatabase during this time, though performance could be slower. To avoid this\nproblem, fork your database and migrate your data from the fork. If you write to\nthe tables in your source database during the migration, the new writes might\nnot be transferred to Timescale. To avoid this problem, see the section on\n[migrating an active database][migration].\n\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, check that you have:\n\n* Installed the Postgres [`pg_dump`][pg_dump] and [`pg_restore`][pg_restore]\n utilities.\n* Installed a client for connecting to Postgres. These instructions use\n [`psql`][psql], but any client works.\n* Created a new empty database in a self-hosted TimescaleDB instance. For more information, see\n the [Install TimescaleDB][install-selfhosted]. Provision\n your database with enough space for all your data.\n* Checked that any other Postgres extensions you use are compatible with\n TimescaleDB. For more information, see the [list of compatible\n extensions][extensions]. Install your other Postgres extensions.\n* Checked that you're running the same major version of Postgres on both your\n self-hosted TimescaleDB instance and your source database. For information about upgrading\n Postgres on your source database, see the [upgrade instructions for\n self-hosted TimescaleDB][upgrading-postgresql-self-hosted] and [Managed\n Service for TimescaleDB][upgrading-postgresql].\n* Checked that you're running the same major version of TimescaleDB on both\n your target and source database. For more information, see\n [upgrading TimescaleDB][upgrading-timescaledb].\n\n## Migrate schema pre-data\n\nMigrate your pre-data from your source database to self-hosted TimescaleDB. This\nincludes table and schema definitions, as well as information on sequences,\nowners, and settings. This doesn't include Timescale-specific schemas.\n\n### Migrating schema pre-data\n\n1. Dump the schema pre-data from your source database into a `dump_pre_data.bak` file, using\n your source database connection details. Exclude Timescale-specific schemas.\n If you are prompted for a password, use your source database credentials:\n\n ```bash\n pg_dump -U -W \\\n -h -p -Fc -v \\\n --section=pre-data --exclude-schema=\"_timescaledb*\" \\\n -f dump_pre_data.bak \n ```\n\n1. Restore the dumped data from the `dump_pre_data.bak` file into your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance, using your self-hosted TimescaleDB connection details. To avoid permissions errors, include the `--no-owner` flag:\n\n ```bash\n pg_restore -U tsdbadmin -W \\\n -h -p --no-owner -Fc \\\n -v -d tsdb dump_pre_data.bak\n ```\n\n## Restore hypertables in your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance\n\nAfter pre-data migration, your hypertables from your source database become\nregular Postgres tables in Timescale. Recreate your hypertables in your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance to\nrestore them.\n\n### Restoring hypertables in your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance\n\n1. Connect to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance:\n\n ```sql\n psql \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Restore the hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable(\n '',\n\t by_range('', INTERVAL '')\n );\n ```\n\n\nThe `by_range` dimension builder is an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n## Copy data from the source database\n\nAfter restoring your hypertables, return to your source database to copy your\ndata, table by table.\n\n### Copying data from your source database\n\n1. Connect to your source database:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Dump the data from the first table into a `.csv` file:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY (SELECT * FROM ) TO .csv CSV\n ```\n\n Repeat for each table and hypertable you want to migrate.\n\n\nIf your tables are very large, you can migrate each table in multiple pieces.\nSplit each table by time range, and copy each range individually. For example:\n\n```sql\n\\COPY (SELECT * FROM WHERE time > '2021-11-01' AND time < '2011-11-02') TO .csv CSV\n```\n\n\n\n## Restore data into Timescale\n\nWhen you have copied your data into `.csv` files, you can restore it to\nself-hosted TimescaleDB by copying from the `.csv` files. There are two methods: using\nregular Postgres [`COPY`][copy], or using the TimescaleDB\n[`timescaledb-parallel-copy`][timescaledb-parallel-copy] function. In tests,\n`timescaledb-parallel-copy` is 16% faster. The `timescaledb-parallel-copy` tool\nis not included by default. You must install the function.\n\n\n\nBecause `COPY` decompresses data, any compressed data in your source\ndatabase is now stored uncompressed in your `.csv` files. If you\nprovisioned your self-hosted TimescaleDB storage for your compressed data, the\nuncompressed data may take too much storage. To avoid this problem, periodically\nrecompress your data as you copy it in. For more information on compression, see\nthe [compression section](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/compression/).\n\n\n\n### Restoring data into a Tiger Cloud service with timescaledb-parallel-copy\n\n1. At the command prompt, install `timescaledb-parallel-copy`:\n\n ```bash\n go get github.com/timescale/timescaledb-parallel-copy/cmd/timescaledb-parallel-copy\n ```\n\n1. Use `timescaledb-parallel-copy` to import data into\n your Tiger Cloud service. Set `` to twice the number of CPUs in your\n database. For example, if you have 4 CPUs, `` should be `8`.\n\n ```bash\n timescaledb-parallel-copy \\\n --connection \"host= \\\n user=tsdbadmin password= \\\n port= \\\n dbname=tsdb \\\n sslmode=require\n \" \\\n --table \\\n --file .csv \\\n --workers \\\n --reporting-period 30s\n ```\n\n Repeat for each table and hypertable you want to migrate.\n\n### Restoring data into a Tiger Cloud service with COPY\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```sql\n psql \"postgres://tsdbadmin:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Restore the data to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```sql\n \\copy FROM '.csv' WITH (FORMAT CSV);\n ```\n\n Repeat for each table and hypertable you want to migrate.\n\n## Migrate schema post-data\n\nWhen you have migrated your table and hypertable data, migrate your Postgres schema post-data. This includes information about constraints.\n\n### Migrating schema post-data\n\n1. At the command prompt, dump the schema post-data from your source database\n into a `dump_post_data.dump` file, using your source database connection details. Exclude\n Timescale-specific schemas. If you are prompted for a password, use your\n source database credentials:\n\n ```bash\n pg_dump -U -W \\\n -h -p -Fc -v \\\n --section=post-data --exclude-schema=\"_timescaledb*\" \\\n -f dump_post_data.dump \n ```\n\n1. Restore the dumped schema post-data from the `dump_post_data.dump` file into\n your Tiger Cloud service, using your connection details. To avoid permissions\n errors, include the `--no-owner` flag:\n\n ```bash\n pg_restore -U tsdbadmin -W \\\n -h -p --no-owner -Fc \\\n -v -d tsdb dump_post_data.dump\n ```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nIf you see these errors during the migration process, you can safely ignore\nthem. The migration still occurs successfully.\n\n```\npg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: relation \"\" already exists\n```\n\n```\npg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: trigger \"ts_insert_blocker\" for relation \"\" already exists\n```\n\n## Recreate continuous aggregates\n\nContinuous aggregates aren't migrated by default when you transfer your schema\nand data separately. You can restore them by recreating the continuous aggregate\ndefinitions and recomputing the results on your Tiger Cloud service. The recomputed\ncontinuous aggregates only aggregate existing data in your Tiger Cloud service. They\ndon't include deleted raw data.\n\n### Recreating continuous aggregates\n\n1. Connect to your source database:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Get a list of your existing continuous aggregate definitions:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT view_name, view_definition FROM timescaledb_information.continuous_aggregates;\n ```\n\n This query returns the names and definitions for all your continuous\n aggregates. For example:\n\n ```sql\n view_name | view_definition\n ----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n avg_fill_levels | SELECT round(avg(fill_measurements.fill_level), 2) AS avg_fill_level, +\n | time_bucket('01:00:00'::interval, fill_measurements.\"time\") AS bucket, +\n | fill_measurements.sensor_id +\n | FROM fill_measurements +\n | GROUP BY (time_bucket('01:00:00'::interval, fill_measurements.\"time\")), fill_measurements.sensor_id;\n (1 row)\n ```\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://tsdbadmin:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Recreate each continuous aggregate definition:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW \n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n \n ```\n\n## Recreate policies\n\nBy default, policies aren't migrated when you transfer your schema and data\nseparately. Recreate them on your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n### Recreating policies\n\n1. Connect to your source database:\n\n ```bash\n psql \"postgres://:@:/?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Get a list of your existing policies. This query returns a list of all your\n policies, including continuous aggregate refresh policies, retention\n policies, compression policies, and reorder policies:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT application_name, schedule_interval, retry_period,\n config, hypertable_name\n FROM timescaledb_information.jobs WHERE owner = '';\n ```\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service:\n\n ```sql\n psql \"postgres://tsdbadmin:@:/tsdb?sslmode=require\"\n ```\n\n1. Recreate each policy. For more information about recreating policies, see\n the sections on [continuous-aggregate refresh policies][cagg-policy],\n [retention policies][retention-policy], [Hypercore policies][setup-hypercore], and [reorder policies][reorder-policy].\n\n## Update table statistics\n\nUpdate your table statistics by running [`ANALYZE`][analyze] on your entire\ndataset. Note that this might take some time depending on the size of your\ndatabase:\n\n```sql\nANALYZE;\n```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nIf you see errors of the following form when you run `ANALYZE`, you can safely\nignore them:\n\n```\nWARNING: skipping \"\" --- only superuser can analyze it\n```\n\nThe skipped tables and indexes correspond to system catalogs that can't be\naccessed. Skipping them does not affect statistics on your data.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/self-hosted/migration/same-db/ =====\n\n# Migrate data to self-hosted TimescaleDB from the same Postgres instance\n\n\n\nYou can migrate data into a TimescaleDB hypertable from a regular Postgres\ntable. This method assumes that you have TimescaleDB set up in the same database\ninstance as your existing table.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore beginning, make sure you have [installed and set up][install] TimescaleDB.\n\nYou also need a table with existing data. In this example, the source table is\nnamed `old_table`. Replace the table name with your actual table name. The\nexample also names the destination table `new_table`, but you might want to use\na more descriptive name.\n\n## Migrate data\n\nMigrate your data into TimescaleDB from within the same database.\n\n## Migrating data\n\n1. Call [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table] to make a new table based on your existing table.\n\n You can create your indexes at the same time, so you don't have to recreate them manually. Or you can\n create the table without indexes, which makes data migration faster.\n\n \n\n\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE new_table (\n LIKE old_table INCLUDING DEFAULTS INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS INCLUDING INDEXES\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column=''\n );\n ```\n\n\n\n\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE new_table (\n LIKE old_table INCLUDING DEFAULTS INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS EXCLUDING INDEXES\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column=''\n );\n ```\n\n\n \n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. Insert data from the old table to the new table.\n\n ```sql\n INSERT INTO new_table\n SELECT * FROM old_table;\n ```\n\n1. If you created your new table without indexes, recreate your indexes now.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/mst/corrupt-index-duplicate/ =====\n\n# Corrupted unique index has duplicated rows\n\n\n\nWhen you try to rebuild index with `REINDEX` it fails because of conflicting\nduplicated rows.\n\nTo identify conflicting duplicate rows, you need to run a query that counts the\nnumber of rows for each combination of columns included in the index definition.\n\nFor example, this `route` table has a `unique_route_index` index defining\nunique rows based on the combination of the `source` and `destination` columns:\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE route(\n source TEXT,\n destination TEXT,\n description TEXT\n );\n\nCREATE UNIQUE INDEX unique_route_index\n ON route (source, destination);\n```\n\nIf the `unique_route_index` is corrupt, you can find duplicated rows in the\n`route` table using this query:\n\n```sql\nSELECT\n source,\n destination,\n count\nFROM\n (SELECT\n source,\n destination,\n COUNT(*) AS count\n FROM route\n GROUP BY\n source,\n destination) AS foo\nWHERE count > 1;\n```\n\nThe query groups the data by the same `source` and `destination` fields defined\nin the index, and filters any entries with more than one occurrence.\n\nResolve the problematic entries in the rows by manually deleting or merging the\nentries until no duplicates exist. After all duplicate entries are removed, you\ncan use the `REINDEX` command to rebuild the index.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/mst/changing-owner-permission-denied/ =====\n\n# Permission denied when changing ownership of tables and hypertables\n\n\n\nYou might see this error when using the `ALTER TABLE` command to change the\nownership of tables or hypertables.\n\nThis use of `ALTER TABLE` is blocked because the `tsdbadmin` user is not a\nsuperuser.\n\nTo change table ownership, use the [`REASSIGN`][sql-reassign] command instead:\n\n```sql\nREASSIGN OWNED BY TO \n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/mst/transaction-wraparound/ =====\n\n# Postgres transaction ID wraparound\n\nThe transaction control mechanism in Postgres assigns a transaction ID to\nevery row that is modified in the database; these IDs control the visibility of\nthat row to other concurrent transactions. The transaction ID is a 32-bit number\nwhere two billion IDs are always in the visible past and the remaining IDs are\nreserved for future transactions and are not visible to the running transaction.\nTo avoid a transaction wraparound of old rows, Postgres requires occasional\ncleanup and freezing of old rows. This ensures that existing rows are visible\nwhen more transactions are created. You can manually freeze the old rows by\nexecuting `VACUUM FREEZE`. It can also be done automatically using the\n`autovacuum` daemon when a configured number of transactions has been created\nsince the last freeze point.\n\nIn Managed Service for TimescaleDB, the transaction limit is set according to\nthe size of the database, up to 1.5 billion transactions. This ensures 500\nmillion transaction IDs are available before a forced freeze and avoids\nchurning stable data in existing tables. To check your transaction freeze\nlimits, you can execute `show autovacuum_freeze_max_age` in your Postgres\ninstance. When the limit is reached, `autovacuum` starts freezing the old rows.\nSome applications do not automatically adjust the configuration when the Postgres\nsettings change, which can result in unnecessary warnings. For example,\nPGHero's default settings alert when 500 million transactions have been created\ninstead of alerting after 1.5 billion transactions. To avoid this, change the\nvalue of the `transaction_id_danger` setting from 1,500,000,000 to\n500,000,000, to receive warnings when the transaction limit reaches 1.5 billion.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/mst/low-disk-memory-cpu/ =====\n\n# Service is running low on disk, memory, or CPU\n\n\n\nWhen your database reaches 90% of your allocated disk, memory, or CPU resources,\nan automated message with the text above is sent to your email address.\n\nYou can resolve this by logging in to your Managed Service for TimescaleDB\naccount and increasing your available resources. From the Managed Service for TimescaleDB Dashboard, select the service that you want to increase resources\nfor. In the `Overview` tab, locate the `Service Plan` section, and click\n`Upgrade Plan`. Select the plan that suits your requirements, and click\n`Upgrade` to enable the additional resources.\n\nIf you run out of resources regularly, you might need to consider using your\nresources more efficiently. Consider enabling [Hypercore][setup-hypercore],\nusing [continuous aggregates][howto-caggs], or\n[configuring data retention][howto-dataretention] to reduce the amount of\nresources your database uses.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/mst/forgotten-password/ =====\n\n# Reset password\n\nIt happens to us all, you want to login to MST Console, and the password is somewhere\nnext to your keys, wherever they are.\n\nTo reset your password:\n\n1.

When you launch a\nnew service the DNS record is created, and it can take some time for the new\nname to propagate to DNS servers around the world.\n\nIf you move an existing service to a new Cloud provider or region, the service\nis rebuilt in the new region in the background. When the service has been\nrebuilt in the new region, the DNS records are updated. This could cause a short\ninterruption to your service while the DNS changes are propagated.\n\nIf you are unable to resolve DNS, wait a few minutes and try again.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/self-hosted/upgrade-no-update-path/ =====\n\n# TimescaleDB upgrade fails with no update path\n\n\n\nIn some cases, when you use the `ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE` command to\nupgrade, it might fail with the above error.\n\nThis occurs if the list of available extensions does not include the version you\nare trying to upgrade to, and it can occur if the package was not installed\ncorrectly in the first place. To correct the problem, install the upgrade\npackage, restart Postgres, verify the version, and then attempt the upgrade\nagain.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/self-hosted/pg_dump-version-mismatch/ =====\n\n# Versions are mismatched when dumping and restoring a database\n\n\n\n The Postgres `pg_dump` command does not allow you to specify which version of\n the extension to use when backing up. This can create problems if you have a\n more recent version installed. For example, if you create the backup using an\n older version of TimescaleDB, and when you restore it uses the current version,\n without giving you an opportunity to upgrade first.\n\n You can work around this problem when you are restoring from backup by making\n sure the new Postgres instance has the same extension version as the original\n database before you perform the restore. After the data is restored, you can\n upgrade the version of TimescaleDB.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/self-hosted/upgrade-fails-already-loaded/ =====\n\n# Upgrading fails with an error saying \"old version has already been loaded\"\n\n\n\nWhen you use the `ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE` command to upgrade, this\nerror might appear.\n\nThis occurs if you don't run `ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE` command as the\nfirst command after starting a new session using psql or if you use tab\ncompletion when running the command. Tab completion triggers metadata queries in\nthe background which prevents the alter extension from being the first command.\n\nTo correct the problem, execute the ALTER EXTENSION command like this:\n\n```sql\npsql -X -c 'ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE;'\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/self-hosted/migration-errors-perms/ =====\n\n# Errors encountered during a pg_dump migration\n\n\n\nThe `pg_restore` function tries to apply the TimescaleDB extension when it\ncopies your schema.

Our installation methods use `pg_config` to\nget Postgres's location. However if you have multiple versions of\nPostgres installed on the same machine, the location `pg_config`\npoints to may not be for the version you expect. To check which\nversion TimescaleDB used:\n\n```bash\n$ pg_config --version\nPostgreSQL 12.3\n```\n\nIf that is the correct version, double check that the installation path is\nthe one you'd expect. For example, for Postgres 11.0 installed via\nHomebrew on macOS it should be `/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.0/bin`:\n\n```bash\n$ pg_config --bindir\n/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.0/bin\n```\n\nIf either of those steps is not the version you are expecting, you need\nto either (a) uninstall the incorrect version of Postgres if you can or\n(b) update your `PATH` environmental variable to have the correct\npath of `pg_config` listed first, that is, by prepending the full path:\n\n```bash\nexport PATH = /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.0/bin:$PATH\n```\n\nThen, reinstall TimescaleDB and it should find the correct installation\npath.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/_troubleshooting/self-hosted/update-error-third-party-tool/ =====\n\n# Error updating TimescaleDB when using a third-party Postgres admin tool\n\n\n\nThe update command `ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb UPDATE` must be the first command\nexecuted upon connection to a database.

You optimize this time-series data in a a hypertable called `assets_real_time`.\nYou also create a separate table of asset symbols in a regular Postgres table named `assets`.\n\nThe dataset is updated on a nightly basis and contains data from the last four\nweeks, typically around 8 million rows of data. Trades are recorded in\nreal-time from 180+ cryptocurrency exchanges.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in a hypertable\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Create a hypertable to store the real-time cryptocurrency data**\n\n Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_ticks (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n symbol TEXT,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION,\n day_volume NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby='symbol',\n tsdb.orderby='time DESC'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n## Create a standard Postgres table for relational data\n\nWhen you have relational data that enhances your time-series data, store that data in\nstandard Postgres relational tables.\n\n1. **Add a table to store the asset symbol and name in a relational table**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_assets (\n symbol TEXT UNIQUE,\n \"name\" TEXT\n );\n ```\n\nYou now have two tables within your Tiger Cloud service. A hypertable named `crypto_ticks`, and a normal\nPostgres table named `crypto_assets`.\n\n## Load financial data\n\nThis tutorial uses real-time cryptocurrency data, also known as tick data, from\n[Twelve Data][twelve-data]. To ingest data into the tables that you created, you need to\ndownload the dataset, then upload the data to your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n1. Unzip [crypto_sample.zip](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/candlestick/crypto_sample.zip) to a ``.\n\n This test dataset contains second-by-second trade data for the most-traded crypto-assets\n and a regular table of asset symbols and company names.\n\n To import up to 100GB of data directly from your current Postgres-based database,\n [migrate with downtime][migrate-with-downtime] using native Postgres tooling. To seamlessly import 100GB-10TB+\n of data, use the [live migration][migrate-live] tooling supplied by Tiger Data. To add data from non-Postgres\n data sources, see [Import and ingest data][data-ingest].\n\n\n\n1. In Terminal, navigate to `` and connect to your service.\n ```bash\n psql -d \"postgres://:@:/\"\n ```\n The connection information for a service is available in the file you downloaded when you created it.\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, use the `COPY` command to transfer data into your\n Tiger Cloud service. If the `.csv` files aren't in your current directory,\n specify the file paths in these commands:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY crypto_ticks FROM 'tutorial_sample_tick.csv' CSV HEADER;\n ```\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY crypto_assets FROM 'tutorial_sample_assets.csv' CSV HEADER;\n ```\n\n Because there are millions of rows of data, the `COPY` process could take a\n few minutes depending on your internet connection and local client\n resources.\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\n In your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\n Configure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n 1. Click `Save & test`.\n\n Grafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/financial-tick-data/financial-tick-compress/ =====\n\n# Compress your data using hypercore\n\n\n\nOver time you end up with a lot of data. Since this data is mostly immutable, you can compress it\nto save space and avoid incurring additional cost.\n\nTimescaleDB is built for handling event-oriented data such as time-series and fast analytical queries, it comes with support\nof [hypercore][hypercore] featuring the columnstore.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] enables you to store the data in a vastly more efficient format allowing\nup to 90x compression ratio compared to a normal Postgres table. However, this is highly dependent\non the data and configuration.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is implemented natively in Postgres and does not require special storage\nformats. When you convert your data from the rowstore to the columnstore, TimescaleDB uses\nPostgres features to transform the data into columnar format. The use of a columnar format allows a better\ncompression ratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on the columnar format,\nsee [hypercore][hypercore].\n\nA beneficial side effect of compressing data is that certain queries are significantly faster, since\nless data has to be read into memory.\n\n## Optimize your data in the columnstore\n\nTo compress the data in the `crypto_ticks` table, do the following:\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Convert data to the columnstore:\n\n You can do this either automatically or manually:\n - [Automatically convert chunks][add_columnstore_policy] in the hypertable to the columnstore at a specific time interval:\n\n ```sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('crypto_ticks', after => INTERVAL '1d');\n ```\n\n - [Manually convert all chunks][convert_to_columnstore] in the hypertable to the columnstore:\n\n ```sql\n CALL convert_to_columnstore(c) from show_chunks('crypto_ticks') c;\n ```\n\n1. Now that you have converted the chunks in your hypertable to the columnstore, compare the\n size of the dataset before and after compression:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n pg_size_pretty(before_compression_total_bytes) as before,\n pg_size_pretty(after_compression_total_bytes) as after\n FROM hypertable_columnstore_stats('crypto_ticks');\n ```\n\n This shows a significant improvement in data usage:\n\n ```sql\n before | after\n --------+-------\n 694 MB | 75 MB\n (1 row)\n ```\n\n\n## Take advantage of query speedups\n\nPreviously, data in the columnstore was segmented by the `block_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column is\nmore efficient. Ordering is set to time descending. This means that when you run queries\nwhich try to order data in the same way, you see performance benefits.\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n\n1. Run the following query:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM crypto_ticks\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol;\n ```\n\n Performance speedup is of two orders of magnitude, around 15 ms when compressed in the columnstore and\n 1 second when decompressed in the rowstore.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/financial-tick-data/financial-tick-query/ =====\n\n# Analyze financial tick data - Query the data\n\n\n\nTurning raw, real-time tick data into aggregated candlestick views is a common\ntask for users who work with financial data. TimescaleDB includes\n[hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions]\nthat you can use to store and query your financial data more easily.\nHyperfunctions are SQL functions within TimescaleDB that make it easier to\nmanipulate and analyze time-series data in Postgres with fewer lines of code.\n\nThere are three hyperfunctions that are essential for calculating candlestick\nvalues: [`time_bucket()`][time-bucket], [`FIRST()`][first], and [`LAST()`][last].\nThe `time_bucket()` hyperfunction helps you aggregate records into buckets of\narbitrary time intervals based on the timestamp value. `FIRST()` and `LAST()`\nhelp you calculate the opening and closing prices. To calculate highest and\nlowest prices, you can use the standard Postgres aggregate functions `MIN` and\n`MAX`.\n\nIn TimescaleDB, the most efficient way to create candlestick views is to use\n[continuous aggregates][caggs].\nIn this tutorial, you create a continuous aggregate for a candlestick time\nbucket, and then query the aggregate with different refresh policies. Finally,\nyou can use Grafana to visualize your data as a candlestick chart.\n\n## Create a continuous aggregate\n\nTo look at OHLCV values, the most effective way is to create a continuous\naggregate. In this tutorial, you create a continuous aggregate to aggregate data\nfor each day. You then set the aggregate to refresh every day, and to aggregate\nthe last two days' worth of data.\n\n### Creating a continuous aggregate\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Twelve Data\n cryptocurrency dataset.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, create the continuous aggregate to aggregate data every\n minute:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_day_candle\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM crypto_ticks\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol;\n ```\n\n When you create the continuous aggregate, it refreshes by default.\n\n1. Set a refresh policy to update the continuous aggregate every day,\n if there is new data available in the hypertable for the last two days:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_day_candle',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 days',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 day');\n ```\n\n## Query the continuous aggregate\n\nWhen you have your continuous aggregate set up, you can query it to get the\nOHLCV values.\n\n### Querying the continuous aggregate\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Twelve Data\n cryptocurrency dataset.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all Bitcoin OHLCV data for the\n past 14 days, by time bucket:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM one_day_candle\n WHERE symbol = 'BTC/USD' AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '14 days'\n ORDER BY bucket;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n bucket | symbol | open | high | low | close | day_volume\n ------------------------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+------------\n 2022-11-24 00:00:00+00 | BTC/USD | 16587 | 16781.2 | 16463.4 | 16597.4 | 21803\n 2022-11-25 00:00:00+00 | BTC/USD | 16597.4 | 16610.1 | 16344.4 | 16503.1 | 20788\n 2022-11-26 00:00:00+00 | BTC/USD | 16507.9 | 16685.5 | 16384.5 | 16450.6 | 12300\n ```\n\n## Graph OHLCV data\n\nWhen you have extracted the raw OHLCV data, you can use it to graph the result\nin a candlestick chart, using Grafana. To do this, you need to have Grafana set\nup to connect to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance.\n\n### Graphing OHLCV data\n\n1. Ensure you have Grafana installed, and you are using the TimescaleDB\n database that contains the Twelve Data dataset set up as a\n data source.\n1. In Grafana, from the `Dashboards` menu, click `New Dashboard`. In the\n `New Dashboard` page, click `Add a new panel`.\n1. In the `Visualizations` menu in the top right corner, select `Candlestick`\n from the list. Ensure you have set the Twelve Data dataset as\n your data source.\n1. Click `Edit SQL` and paste in the query you used to get the OHLCV values.\n1. In the `Format as` section, select `Table`.\n1. Adjust elements of the table as required, and click `Apply` to save your\n graph to the dashboard.\n\n \"Creating\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/blockchain-analyze/blockchain-dataset/ =====\n\n# Analyze the Bitcoin blockchain - set up dataset\n\n\n# Ingest data into a Tiger Cloud service\n\nThis tutorial uses a dataset that contains Bitcoin blockchain data for\nthe past five days, in a hypertable named `transactions`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info].

This\ntutorial uses [TimescaleDB hyperfunctions][about-hyperfunctions] to construct\nqueries that are not possible in standard Postgres.\n\nIn this section, you learn how to write queries that answer these questions:\n\n* [Is there any connection between the number of transactions and the transaction fees?](#is-there-any-connection-between-the-number-of-transactions-and-the-transaction-fees)\n* [Does the transaction volume affect the BTC-USD rate?](#does-the-transaction-volume-affect-the-btc-usd-rate)\n* [Do more transactions in a block mean the block is more expensive to mine?](#do-more-transactions-in-a-block-mean-the-block-is-more-expensive-to-mine)\n* [What percentage of the average miner's revenue comes from fees compared to block rewards?](#what-percentage-of-the-average-miners-revenue-comes-from-fees-compared-to-block-rewards)\n* [How does block weight affect miner fees?](#how-does-block-weight-affect-miner-fees)\n* [What's the average miner revenue per block?](#whats-the-average-miner-revenue-per-block)\n\n## Create continuous aggregates\n\nYou can use [continuous aggregates][docs-cagg] to simplify and speed up your\nqueries. For this tutorial, you need three continuous aggregates, focusing on\nthree aspects of the dataset: Bitcoin transactions, blocks, and coinbase\ntransactions. In each continuous aggregate definition, the `time_bucket()`\nfunction controls how large the time buckets are. The examples all use 1-hour\ntime buckets.\n\n### Continuous aggregate: transactions\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Bitcoin dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, create a continuous aggregate called\n `one_hour_transactions`. This view holds aggregated data about each hour of\n transactions:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_hour_transactions\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS bucket,\n count(*) AS tx_count,\n sum(fee) AS total_fee_sat,\n sum(fee_usd) AS total_fee_usd,\n stats_agg(fee) AS stats_fee_sat,\n avg(size) AS avg_tx_size,\n avg(weight) AS avg_tx_weight,\n count(\n CASE\n WHEN (fee > output_total) THEN hash\n ELSE NULL\n END) AS high_fee_count\n FROM transactions\n WHERE (is_coinbase IS NOT TRUE)\n GROUP BY bucket;\n ```\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_hour_transactions',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 hours',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate called `one_hour_blocks`. This view holds\n aggregated data about all the blocks that were mined each hour:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_hour_blocks\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS bucket,\n block_id,\n count(*) AS tx_count,\n sum(fee) AS block_fee_sat,\n sum(fee_usd) AS block_fee_usd,\n stats_agg(fee) AS stats_tx_fee_sat,\n avg(size) AS avg_tx_size,\n avg(weight) AS avg_tx_weight,\n sum(size) AS block_size,\n sum(weight) AS block_weight,\n max(size) AS max_tx_size,\n max(weight) AS max_tx_weight,\n min(size) AS min_tx_size,\n min(weight) AS min_tx_weight\n FROM transactions\n WHERE is_coinbase IS NOT TRUE\n GROUP BY bucket, block_id;\n ```\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_hour_blocks',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 hours',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. Create a continuous aggregate called `one_hour_coinbase`. This view holds\n aggregated data about all the transactions that miners received as rewards\n each hour:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_hour_coinbase\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS bucket,\n count(*) AS tx_count,\n stats_agg(output_total, output_total_usd) AS stats_miner_revenue,\n min(output_total) AS min_miner_revenue,\n max(output_total) AS max_miner_revenue\n FROM transactions\n WHERE is_coinbase IS TRUE\n GROUP BY bucket;\n ```\n\n1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_hour_coinbase',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 hours',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n## Is there any connection between the number of transactions and the transaction fees?\n\nTransaction fees are a major concern for blockchain users. If a blockchain is\ntoo expensive, you might not want to use it. This query shows you whether\nthere's any correlation between the number of Bitcoin transactions and the fees.\nThe time range for this analysis is the last 2 days.\n\nIf you choose to visualize the query in Grafana, you can see the average\ntransaction volume and the average fee per transaction, over time. These trends\nmight help you decide whether to submit a transaction now or wait a few days for\nfees to decrease.\n\n### Finding a connection between the number of transactions and the transaction fees\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Bitcoin dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to average transaction volume and the\n fees from the `one_hour_transactions` continuous aggregate:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n bucket AS \"time\",\n tx_count as \"tx volume\",\n average(stats_fee_sat) as fees\n FROM one_hour_transactions\n WHERE bucket > date_add('2023-11-22 00:00:00+00', INTERVAL '-2 days')\n ORDER BY 1;\n ```\n\n1. The data you get back looks a bit like this:\n\n ```sql\n time | tx volume | fees\n ------------------------+-----------+--------------------\n 2023-11-20 01:00:00+00 | 2602 | 105963.45810914681\n 2023-11-20 02:00:00+00 | 33037 | 26686.814117504615\n 2023-11-20 03:00:00+00 | 42077 | 22875.286546094067\n 2023-11-20 04:00:00+00 | 46021 | 20280.843180287262\n 2023-11-20 05:00:00+00 | 20828 | 24694.472969080085\n ...\n ```\n\n1.

This query analyzes the data from a\ndifferent perspective. Miner revenue is not only made up of miner fees, it also\nincludes block rewards for mining a new block. This reward is currently 6.25\nBTC, and it gets halved every four years. This query looks at how much of a\nminer's revenue comes from fees, compares to block rewards.\n\nIf you choose to visualize the query in Grafana, you can see that most miner\nrevenue actually comes from block rewards. Fees never account for more than a\nfew percentage points of overall revenue.\n\n### Finding what percentage of the average miner's revenue comes from fees compared to block rewards\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Bitcoin dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to return coinbase transactions, along\n with the block fees and rewards:\n\n ```sql\n WITH coinbase AS (\n SELECT block_id, output_total AS coinbase_tx FROM transactions\n WHERE is_coinbase IS TRUE and time > date_add('2023-11-22 00:00:00+00', INTERVAL '-5 days')\n )\n SELECT\n bucket as \"time\",\n avg(block_fee_sat)*0.00000001 AS \"fees\",\n FIRST((c.coinbase_tx - block_fee_sat), bucket)*0.00000001 AS \"reward\"\n FROM one_hour_blocks b\n INNER JOIN coinbase c ON c.block_id = b.block_id\n GROUP BY bucket\n ORDER BY 1;\n ```\n\n1.

In the options panel, in the `Graph styles` section, for\n `Stack series` select `100%`.\n\n \n\n## How does block weight affect miner fees?\n\nYou've already found that more transactions in a block mean it's more expensive\nto mine. In this query, you ask if the same is true for block weights? The more\ntransactions a block has, the larger its weight, so the block weight and mining\nfee should be tightly correlated. This query uses a 12-hour moving average to\ncalculate the block weight and block mining fee over time.\n\nIf you choose to visualize the query in Grafana, you can see that the block\nweight and block mining fee are tightly connected. In practice, you can also see\nthe four million weight units size limit. This means that there's still room to\ngrow for individual blocks, and they could include even more transactions.\n\n### Finding how block weight affects miner fees\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Bitcoin dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to return block weight, along with the\n block fees and rewards:\n\n ```sql\n WITH stats AS (\n SELECT\n bucket,\n stats_agg(block_weight, block_fee_sat) AS block_stats\n FROM one_hour_blocks\n WHERE bucket > date_add('2023-11-22 00:00:00+00', INTERVAL '-5 days')\n GROUP BY bucket\n )\n SELECT\n bucket as \"time\",\n average_y(rolling(block_stats) OVER (ORDER BY bucket RANGE '12 hours' PRECEDING)) AS \"block weight\",\n average_x(rolling(block_stats) OVER (ORDER BY bucket RANGE '12 hours' PRECEDING))*0.00000001 AS \"mining fee\"\n FROM stats\n ORDER BY 1;\n ```\n\n1.

It also includes a separate\ntables of payment types and rates, in a regular Postgres table named\n`payment_types`, and `rates`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nTime-series data represents how a system, process, or behavior changes over time. [Hypertables][hypertables-section]\nare Postgres tables that help you improve insert and query performance by automatically partitioning your data by\ntime. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range of time, and only\ncontains data from that range.\n\nHypertables exist alongside regular Postgres tables. You interact with hypertables and regular Postgres tables in the\nsame way. You use regular Postgres tables for relational data.\n\n1. **Create a hypertable to store the taxi trip data**\n\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE \"rides\"(\n vendor_id TEXT,\n pickup_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n dropoff_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n passenger_count NUMERIC,\n trip_distance NUMERIC,\n pickup_longitude NUMERIC,\n pickup_latitude NUMERIC,\n rate_code INTEGER,\n dropoff_longitude NUMERIC,\n dropoff_latitude NUMERIC,\n payment_type INTEGER,\n fare_amount NUMERIC,\n extra NUMERIC,\n mta_tax NUMERIC,\n tip_amount NUMERIC,\n tolls_amount NUMERIC,\n improvement_surcharge NUMERIC,\n total_amount NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='pickup_datetime',\n tsdb.create_default_indexes=false\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Add another dimension to partition your hypertable more efficiently**\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_dimension('rides', by_hash('payment_type', 2));\n ```\n\n1. **Create an index to support efficient queries**\n\n Index by vendor, rate code, and passenger count:\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (vendor_id, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (rate_code, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (passenger_count, pickup_datetime DESC);\n ```\n\n## Create standard Postgres tables for relational data\n\nWhen you have other relational data that enhances your time-series data, you can\ncreate standard Postgres tables just as you would normally. For this dataset,\nthere are two other tables of data, called `payment_types` and `rates`.\n\n1. **Add a relational table to store the payment types data**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"payment_types\"(\n payment_type INTEGER,\n description TEXT\n );\n INSERT INTO payment_types(payment_type, description) VALUES\n (1, 'credit card'),\n (2, 'cash'),\n (3, 'no charge'),\n (4, 'dispute'),\n (5, 'unknown'),\n (6, 'voided trip');\n ```\n\n1. **Add a relational table to store the rates data**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"rates\"(\n rate_code INTEGER,\n description TEXT\n );\n INSERT INTO rates(rate_code, description) VALUES\n (1, 'standard rate'),\n (2, 'JFK'),\n (3, 'Newark'),\n (4, 'Nassau or Westchester'),\n (5, 'negotiated fare'),\n (6, 'group ride');\n ```\n\nYou can confirm that the scripts were successful by running the `\\dt` command in\nthe `psql` command line. You should see this:\n\n```sql\n List of relations\n Schema | Name | Type | Owner\n--------+---------------+-------+----------\n public | payment_types | table | tsdbadmin\n public | rates | table | tsdbadmin\n public | rides | table | tsdbadmin\n(3 rows)\n```\n\n## Load trip data\n\nWhen you have your database set up, you can load the taxi trip data into the\n`rides` hypertable.\n\n\nThis is a large dataset, so it might take a long time, depending on your network\nconnection.\n\n\n1. Download the dataset:\n\n\n [nyc_data.tar.gz](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/nyc_data.tar.gz)\n\n\n1. Use your file manager to decompress the downloaded dataset, and take a note\n of the path to the `nyc_data_rides.csv` file.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, copy the data from the `nyc_data_rides.csv` file into\n your hypertable. Make sure you point to the correct path, if it is not in\n your current working directory:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY rides FROM nyc_data_rides.csv CSV;\n ```\n\nYou can check that the data has been copied successfully with this command:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM rides LIMIT 5;\n```\n\nYou should get five records that look like this:\n\n```sql\n-[ RECORD 1 ]---------+--------------------\nvendor_id | 1\npickup_datetime | 2016-01-01 00:00:01\ndropoff_datetime | 2016-01-01 00:11:55\npassenger_count | 1\ntrip_distance | 1.20\npickup_longitude | -73.979423522949219\npickup_latitude | 40.744613647460938\nrate_code | 1\ndropoff_longitude | -73.992034912109375\ndropoff_latitude | 40.753944396972656\npayment_type | 2\nfare_amount | 9\nextra | 0.5\nmta_tax | 0.5\ntip_amount | 0\ntolls_amount | 0\nimprovement_surcharge | 0.3\ntotal_amount | 10.3\n```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/nyc-taxi-cab/index/ =====\n\n# Query time-series data tutorial\n\n\n\nNew York City is home to about 9 million people. This tutorial uses historical\ndata from New York's yellow taxi network, provided by the New York City Taxi and\nLimousine Commission [NYC TLC][nyc-tlc]. The NYC TLC tracks over 200,000\nvehicles making about 1 million trips each day. Because nearly all of this data\nis time-series data, proper analysis requires a purpose-built time-series\ndatabase, like Timescale.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have:\n\n* Signed up for a [free Tiger Data account][cloud-install].\n\n## Steps in this tutorial\n\nThis tutorial covers:\n\n1. [Setting up your dataset][dataset-nyc]: Set up and connect to a Timescale\n service, and load data into your database using `psql`.\n1. [Querying your dataset][query-nyc]: Analyze a dataset containing NYC taxi\n trip data using Tiger Cloud and Postgres.\n1. [Bonus: Store data efficiently][compress-nyc]: Learn how to store and query your\nNYC taxi trip data more efficiently using compression feature of Timescale.\n\n## About querying data with Timescale\n\nThis tutorial uses the [NYC taxi data][nyc-tlc] to show you how to construct\nqueries for time-series data. The analysis you do in this tutorial is similar to\nthe kind of analysis data science organizations use to do things like plan\nupgrades, set budgets, and allocate resources.\n\nIt starts by teaching you how to set up and connect to a Tiger Cloud service,\ncreate tables, and load data into the tables using `psql`.\n\nYou then learn how to conduct analysis and monitoring on your dataset. It walks\nyou through using Postgres queries to obtain information, including how to use\nJOINs to combine your time-series data with relational or business data.\n\nIf you have been provided with a pre-loaded dataset on your Tiger Cloud service,\ngo directly to the\n[queries section](https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/latest/nyc-taxi-geospatial/plot-nyc/).\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/nyc-taxi-cab/query-nyc/ =====\n\n# Query time-series data tutorial - query the data\n\nWhen you have your dataset loaded, you can start constructing some queries to\ndiscover what your data tells you. In this section, you learn how to write\nqueries that answer these questions:\n\n* [How many rides take place each day?](#how-many-rides-take-place-every-day)\n* [What is the average fare amount?](#what-is-the-average-fare-amount)\n* [How many rides of each rate type were taken?](#how-many-rides-of-each-rate-type-were-taken)\n* [What kind of trips are going to and from airports?](#what-kind-of-trips-are-going-to-and-from-airports)\n* [How many rides took place on New Year's Day 2016](#how-many-rides-took-place-on-new-years-day-2016)?\n\n## How many rides take place every day?\n\nThis dataset contains ride data for January 2016. To find out how many rides\ntook place each day, you can use a `SELECT` statement. In this case, you want to\ncount the total number of rides each day, and show them in a list by date.\n\n### Finding how many rides take place every day\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all rides taken in the first\n week of January 2016, and return a count of rides for each day:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT date_trunc('day', pickup_datetime) as day,\n COUNT(*) FROM rides\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY day\n ORDER BY day;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n day | count\n ---------------------+--------\n 2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 345037\n 2016-01-02 00:00:00 | 312831\n 2016-01-03 00:00:00 | 302878\n 2016-01-04 00:00:00 | 316171\n 2016-01-05 00:00:00 | 343251\n 2016-01-06 00:00:00 | 348516\n 2016-01-07 00:00:00 | 364894\n ```\n\n## What is the average fare amount?\n\nYou can include a function in your `SELECT` query to determine the average fare\npaid by each passenger.\n\n### Finding the average fare amount\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n2. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all rides taken in the first\n week of January 2016, and return the average fare paid on each day:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT date_trunc('day', pickup_datetime)\n AS day, avg(fare_amount)\n FROM rides\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY day\n ORDER BY day;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n day | avg\n ---------------------+---------------------\n 2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 12.8569325028909943\n 2016-01-02 00:00:00 | 12.4344713599355563\n 2016-01-03 00:00:00 | 13.0615900461571986\n 2016-01-04 00:00:00 | 12.2072927308323660\n 2016-01-05 00:00:00 | 12.0018670885154013\n 2016-01-06 00:00:00 | 12.0002329017893009\n 2016-01-07 00:00:00 | 12.1234180337303436\n ```\n\n## How many rides of each rate type were taken?\n\nTaxis in New York City use a range of different rate types for different kinds\nof trips. For example, trips to the airport are charged at a flat rate from any\nlocation within the city. This section shows you how to construct a query that\nshows you the nuber of trips taken for each different fare type. It also uses a\n`JOIN` statement to present the data in a more informative way.\n\n### Finding the number of rides for each fare type\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n2. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all rides taken in the first\n week of January 2016, and return the total number of trips taken for each\n rate code:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT rate_code, COUNT(vendor_id) AS num_trips\n FROM rides\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY rate_code\n ORDER BY rate_code;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n rate_code | num_trips\n -----------+-----------\n 1 | 2266401\n 2 | 54832\n 3 | 4126\n 4 | 967\n 5 | 7193\n 6 | 17\n 99 | 42\n ```\n\nThis output is correct, but it's not very easy to read, because you probably\ndon't know what the different rate codes mean. However, the `rates` table in the\ndataset contains a human-readable description of each code. You can use a `JOIN`\nstatement in your query to connect the `rides` and `rates` tables, and present\ninformation from both in your results.\n\n### Displaying the number of rides for each fare type\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n2. At the psql prompt, copy this query to select all rides taken in the first\n week of January 2016, join the `rides` and `rates` tables, and return the\n total number of trips taken for each rate code, with a description of the\n rate code:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT rates.description, COUNT(vendor_id) AS num_trips\n FROM rides\n JOIN rates ON rides.rate_code = rates.rate_code\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY rates.description\n ORDER BY LOWER(rates.description);\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n description | num_trips\n -----------------------+-----------\n group ride | 17\n JFK | 54832\n Nassau or Westchester | 967\n negotiated fare | 7193\n Newark | 4126\n standard rate | 2266401\n ```\n\n## What kind of trips are going to and from airports\n\nThere are two primary airports in the dataset: John F. Kennedy airport, or JFK,\nis represented by rate code 2; Newark airport, or EWR, is represented by rate\ncode 3.\n\nInformation about the trips that are going to and from the two airports is\nuseful for city planning, as well as for organizations like the NYC Tourism\nBureau.\n\nThis section shows you how to construct a query that returns trip information for\ntrips going only to the new main airports.\n\n### Finding what kind of trips are going to and from airports\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all rides taken to and from JFK\n and Newark airports, in the first week of January 2016, and return the number\n of trips to that airport, the average trip duration, average trip cost, and\n average number of passengers:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT rates.description,\n COUNT(vendor_id) AS num_trips,\n AVG(dropoff_datetime - pickup_datetime) AS avg_trip_duration,\n AVG(total_amount) AS avg_total,\n AVG(passenger_count) AS avg_passengers\n FROM rides\n JOIN rates ON rides.rate_code = rates.rate_code\n WHERE rides.rate_code IN (2,3) AND pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\n GROUP BY rates.description\n ORDER BY rates.description;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n description | num_trips | avg_trip_duration | avg_total | avg_passengers\n -------------+-----------+-------------------+---------------------+--------------------\n JFK | 54832 | 00:46:44.614222 | 63.7791311642836300 | 1.8062080536912752\n Newark | 4126 | 00:34:45.575618 | 84.3841783809985458 | 1.8979641299079011\n ```\n\n## How many rides took place on New Year's Day 2016?\n\nNew York City is famous for the Ball Drop New Year's Eve celebration in Times\nSquare. Thousands of people gather to bring in the New Year and then head out\ninto the city: to their favorite bar, to gather with friends for a meal, or back\nhome. This section shows you how to construct a query that returns the number of\ntaxi trips taken on 1 January, 2016, in 30 minute intervals.\n\nIn Postgres, it's not particularly easy to segment the data by 30 minute time\nintervals. To do this, you would need to use a `TRUNC` function to calculate the\nquotient of the minute that a ride began in divided by 30, then truncate the\nresult to take the floor of that quotient. When you had that result, you could\nmultiply the truncated quotient by 30.\n\nIn your Tiger Cloud service, you can use the `time_bucket` function to segment\nthe data into time intervals instead.\n\n### Finding how many rides took place on New Year's Day 2016\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all rides taken on the first\n day of January 2016, and return a count of rides for each 30 minute interval:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('30 minute', pickup_datetime) AS thirty_min, count(*)\n FROM rides\n WHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-02 00:00'\n GROUP BY thirty_min\n ORDER BY thirty_min;\n ```\n\n The result of the query starts like this:\n\n ```sql\n thirty_min | count\n ---------------------+-------\n 2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 10920\n 2016-01-01 00:30:00 | 14350\n 2016-01-01 01:00:00 | 14660\n 2016-01-01 01:30:00 | 13851\n 2016-01-01 02:00:00 | 13260\n 2016-01-01 02:30:00 | 12230\n 2016-01-01 03:00:00 | 11362\n ```\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/nyc-taxi-cab/compress-nyc/ =====\n\n# Query time-series data tutorial - set up compression\n\nYou have now seen how to create a hypertable for your NYC taxi trip\ndata and query it. When ingesting a dataset like this\nis seldom necessary to update old data and over time the amount of\ndata in the tables grows. Over time you end up with a lot of data and\nsince this is mostly immutable you can compress it to save space and\navoid incurring additional cost.\n\nIt is possible to use disk-oriented compression like the support\noffered by ZFS and Btrfs but since TimescaleDB is build for handling\nevent-oriented data (such as time-series) it comes with support for\ncompressing data in hypertables.\n\nTimescaleDB compression allows you to store the data in a vastly more\nefficient format allowing up to 20x compression ratio compared to a\nnormal Postgres table, but this is of course highly dependent on the\ndata and configuration.\n\nTimescaleDB compression is implemented natively in Postgres and does\nnot require special storage formats. Instead it relies on features of\nPostgres to transform the data into columnar format before\ncompression. The use of a columnar format allows better compression\nratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on how\nthe compression format looks, you can look at the [compression\ndesign][compression-design] section.\n\nA beneficial side-effect of compressing data is that certain queries\nare significantly faster since less data has to be read into\nmemory.\n\n## Compression setup\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the\n dataset using, for example `psql`.\n1. Enable compression on the table and pick suitable segment-by and\n order-by column using the `ALTER TABLE` command:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE rides\n SET (\n timescaledb.compress,\n timescaledb.compress_segmentby='vendor_id',\n timescaledb.compress_orderby='pickup_datetime DESC'\n );\n ```\n Depending on the choice if segment-by and order-by column you can\n get very different performance and compression ratio. To learn\n more about how to pick the correct columns, see\n [here][segment-by-columns].\n1. You can manually compress all the chunks of the hypertable using\n `compress_chunk` in this manner:\n ```sql\n SELECT compress_chunk(c) from show_chunks('rides') c;\n ```\n You can also [automate compression][automatic-compression] by\n adding a [compression policy][add_compression_policy] which will\n be covered below.\n1. Now that you have compressed the table you can compare the size of\n the dataset before and after compression:\n ```sql\n SELECT\n pg_size_pretty(before_compression_total_bytes) as before,\n pg_size_pretty(after_compression_total_bytes) as after\n FROM hypertable_compression_stats('rides');\n ```\n\tThis shows a significant improvement in data usage:\n\n ```sql\n before | after\n ---------+--------\n 1741 MB | 603 MB\n ```\n\n## Add a compression policy\n\nTo avoid running the compression step each time you have some data to\ncompress you can set up a compression policy. The compression policy\nallows you to compress data that is older than a particular age, for\nexample, to compress all chunks that are older than 8 days:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_compression_policy('rides', INTERVAL '8 days');\n```\n\nCompression policies run on a regular schedule, by default once every\nday, which means that you might have up to 9 days of uncompressed data\nwith the setting above.\n\nYou can find more information on compression policies in the\n[add_compression_policy][add_compression_policy] section.\n\n\n## Taking advantage of query speedups\n\n\nPreviously, compression was set up to be segmented by `vendor_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column will be\nmore efficient. Ordering is also set to time descending so if you run queries\nwhich try to order data with that ordering, you should see performance benefits.\n\nFor instance, if you run the query example from previous section:\n```sql\nSELECT rate_code, COUNT(vendor_id) AS num_trips\nFROM rides\nWHERE pickup_datetime < '2016-01-08'\nGROUP BY rate_code\nORDER BY rate_code;\n```\n\nYou should see a decent performance difference when the dataset is compressed and\nwhen is decompressed. Try it yourself by running the previous query, decompressing\nthe dataset and running it again while timing the execution time. You can enable\ntiming query times in psql by running:\n\n```sql\n \\timing\n```\n\nTo decompress the whole dataset, run:\n```sql\n SELECT decompress_chunk(c) from show_chunks('rides') c;\n```\n\nOn an example setup, speedup performance observed was pretty significant,\n700 ms when compressed vs 1,2 sec when decompressed.\n\nTry it yourself and see what you get!\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/blockchain-query/blockchain-compress/ =====\n\n# Compress your data using hypercore\n\n\n\nOver time you end up with a lot of data. Since this data is mostly immutable, you can compress it\nto save space and avoid incurring additional cost.\n\nTimescaleDB is built for handling event-oriented data such as time-series and fast analytical queries, it comes with support\nof [hypercore][hypercore] featuring the columnstore.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] enables you to store the data in a vastly more efficient format allowing\nup to 90x compression ratio compared to a normal Postgres table. However, this is highly dependent\non the data and configuration.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is implemented natively in Postgres and does not require special storage\nformats. When you convert your data from the rowstore to the columnstore, TimescaleDB uses\nPostgres features to transform the data into columnar format. The use of a columnar format allows a better\ncompression ratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on the columnar format,\nsee [hypercore][hypercore].\n\nA beneficial side effect of compressing data is that certain queries are significantly faster, since\nless data has to be read into memory.\n\n## Optimize your data in the columnstore\n\nTo compress the data in the `transactions` table, do the following:\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Convert data to the columnstore:\n\n You can do this either automatically or manually:\n - [Automatically convert chunks][add_columnstore_policy] in the hypertable to the columnstore at a specific time interval:\n\n ```sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('transactions', after => INTERVAL '1d');\n ```\n\n - [Manually convert all chunks][convert_to_columnstore] in the hypertable to the columnstore:\n\n ```sql\n DO $$\n DECLARE\n chunk_name TEXT;\n BEGIN\n FOR chunk_name IN (SELECT c FROM show_chunks('transactions') c)\n LOOP\n RAISE NOTICE 'Converting chunk: %', chunk_name; -- Optional: To see progress\n CALL convert_to_columnstore(chunk_name);\n END LOOP;\n RAISE NOTICE 'Conversion to columnar storage complete for all chunks.'; -- Optional: Completion message\n END$$;\n ```\n\n\n## Take advantage of query speedups\n\nPreviously, data in the columnstore was segmented by the `block_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column is\nmore efficient. Ordering is set to time descending. This means that when you run queries\nwhich try to order data in the same way, you see performance benefits.\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n\n1. Run the following query:\n\n ```sql\n WITH recent_blocks AS (\n SELECT block_id FROM transactions\n WHERE is_coinbase IS TRUE\n ORDER BY time DESC\n LIMIT 5\n )\n SELECT\n t.block_id, count(*) AS transaction_count,\n SUM(weight) AS block_weight,\n SUM(output_total_usd) AS block_value_usd\n FROM transactions t\n INNER JOIN recent_blocks b ON b.block_id = t.block_id\n WHERE is_coinbase IS NOT TRUE\n GROUP BY t.block_id;\n ```\n\n Performance speedup is of two orders of magnitude, around 15 ms when compressed in the columnstore and\n 1 second when decompressed in the rowstore.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/blockchain-query/blockchain-dataset/ =====\n\n# Query the Bitcoin blockchain - set up dataset\n\n\n\n# Ingest data into a Tiger Cloud service\n\nThis tutorial uses a dataset that contains Bitcoin blockchain data for\nthe past five days, in a hypertable named `transactions`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data using hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. Connect to your Tiger Cloud service\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. The in-Console editors display the query speed.\n You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE transactions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n block_id INT,\n hash TEXT,\n size INT,\n weight INT,\n is_coinbase BOOLEAN,\n output_total BIGINT,\n output_total_usd DOUBLE PRECISION,\n fee BIGINT,\n fee_usd DOUBLE PRECISION,\n details JSONB\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby='block_id',\n tsdb.orderby='time DESC'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. Create an index on the `hash` column to make queries for individual\n transactions faster:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX hash_idx ON public.transactions USING HASH (hash);\n ```\n\n1. Create an index on the `block_id` column to make block-level queries faster:\n\n When you create a hypertable, it is partitioned on the time column. TimescaleDB\n automatically creates an index on the time column. However, you'll often filter\n your time-series data on other columns as well. You use [indexes][indexing] to improve\n query performance.\n\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX block_idx ON public.transactions (block_id);\n ```\n\n1. Create a unique index on the `time` and `hash` columns to make sure you\n don't accidentally insert duplicate records:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE UNIQUE INDEX time_hash_idx ON public.transactions (time, hash);\n ```\n\n## Load financial data\n\nThe dataset contains around 1.5 million Bitcoin transactions, the trades for five days. It includes\ninformation about each transaction, along with the value in [satoshi][satoshi-def]. It also states if a\ntrade is a [coinbase][coinbase-def] transaction, and the reward a coin miner receives for mining the coin.\n\nTo ingest data into the tables that you created, you need to download the\ndataset and copy the data to your database.\n\n1. Download the `bitcoin_sample.zip` file. The file contains a `.csv`\n file that contains Bitcoin transactions for the past five days. Download:\n\n\n [bitcoin_sample.zip](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/bitcoin-blockchain/bitcoin_sample.zip)\n\n\n1. In a new terminal window, run this command to unzip the `.csv` files:\n\n ```bash\n unzip bitcoin_sample.zip\n ```\n\n1. In Terminal, navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Bitcoin transactions, then\n connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, use the `COPY` command to transfer data into your\n Tiger Cloud service. If the `.csv` files aren't in your current directory,\n specify the file paths in these commands:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY transactions FROM 'tutorial_bitcoin_sample.csv' CSV HEADER;\n ```\n\n Because there is over a million rows of data, the `COPY` process could take\n a few minutes depending on your internet connection and local client\n resources.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/blockchain-query/beginner-blockchain-query/ =====\n\n# Query the Bitcoin blockchain - query data\n\nWhen you have your dataset loaded, you can start constructing some queries to\ndiscover what your data tells you.

If your data is not tick data, for\nexample if you receive it in an already aggregated form such as 1-min buckets,\nyou can still use these functions to help you create\nadditional aggregates of your data into larger buckets, such as 1-hour or 1-day\nbuckets. If you want to work with pre-aggregated stock and crypto data, see the\n[Analyzing Intraday Stock Data][intraday-tutorial] tutorial for more examples.\n\nTimescaleDB includes [hyperfunctions][hyperfunctions] that you can use to\nstore and query your financial data more\neasily. Hyperfunctions are SQL functions within TimescaleDB that make it\neasier to manipulate and analyze time-series data in Postgres with fewer\nlines of code. There are three\nhyperfunctions that are essential for calculating candlestick values:\n[`time_bucket()`][time-bucket], [`FIRST()`][first], and [`LAST()`][last].\n\nThe `time_bucket()` hyperfunction helps you aggregate records into buckets of\narbitrary time intervals based on the timestamp value. `FIRST()` and `LAST()`\nhelp you calculate the opening and closing prices. To calculate\nhighest and lowest prices, you can use the standard Postgres aggregate\nfunctions `MIN` and `MAX`.\n\nIn this first SQL example, use the hyperfunctions to query the tick data,\nand turn it into 1-min candlestick values in the candlestick format:\n\n```sql\n-- Create the candlestick format\nSELECT\n time_bucket('1 min', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\nFROM crypto_ticks\nGROUP BY bucket, symbol\n```\n\nHyperfunctions in this query:\n\n* `time_bucket('1 min', time)`: creates 1-minute buckets\n* `FIRST(price, time)`: selects the first `price` value in the bucket, ordered\n by `time`, which is the\n opening price of the candlestick.\n* `LAST(price, time)` selects\n the last `price` value in the bucket, ordered by `time`, which is\n the closing price of the candlestick\n\nBesides the hyperfunctions, you can see other common SQL aggregate functions\nlike `MIN` and `MAX`, which calculate the lowest and highest prices in the\ncandlestick.\n\n\nThis tutorial uses the `LAST()` hyperfunction to calculate the volume within a bucket, because\nthe sample tick data already provides an incremental `day_volume` field which\ncontains the total volume for the given day with each trade. Depending on the\nraw data you receive and whether you want to calculate volume in terms of\ntrade count or the total value of the trades, you might need to use\n`COUNT(*)`, `SUM(price)`, or subtraction between the last and first values\nin the bucket to get the correct result.\n\n\n## Create continuous aggregates for candlestick data\n\nIn TimescaleDB, the most efficient way to create candlestick views is to\nuse [continuous aggregates][caggs]. Continuous aggregates are very similar\nto Postgres materialized views but with three major advantages.\n\nFirst,\nmaterialized views recreate all of the data any time the view\nis refreshed, which causes history to be lost. Continuous aggregates only\nrefresh the buckets of aggregated data where the source, raw data has been\nchanged or added.\n\nSecond, continuous aggregates can be automatically refreshed using built-in,\nuser-configured policies. No special triggers or stored procedures are\nneeded to refresh the data over time.\n\nFinally, continuous aggregates are real-time by default. Any new raw\ntick data that is inserted between refreshes is automatically appended\nto the materialized data. This keeps your candlestick data up-to-date\nwithout having to write special SQL to UNION data from multiple views and\ntables.\n\nContinuous aggregates are often used to power dashboards and other user-facing\napplications, like price charts, where query performance and timeliness of\nyour data matter.\n\nLet's see how to create different candlestick time buckets - 1 minute,\n1 hour, and 1 day - using continuous aggregates with different refresh\npolicies.\n\n### 1-minute candlestick\n\nTo create a continuous aggregate of 1-minute candlestick data, use the same query\nthat you previously used to get the 1-minute OHLCV values. But this time, put the\nquery in a continuous aggregate definition:\n\n```sql\n/* 1-min candlestick view*/\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_min_candle\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 min', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM crypto_ticks\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol\n```\n\nWhen you run this query, TimescaleDB queries 1-minute aggregate values of all\nyour tick data, creating the continuous aggregate and materializing the\nresults. But your candlestick data has only been materialized up to the\nlast data point. If you want the continuous aggregate to stay up to date\nas new data comes in over time, you also need to add a continuous aggregate\nrefresh policy. For example, to refresh the continuous aggregate every two\nminutes:\n\n```sql\n/* Refresh the continuous aggregate every two minutes */\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_min_candle',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '2 hour',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '10 sec',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '2 min');\n```\n\nThe continuous aggregate refreshes every hour, so every hour new\ncandlesticks are materialized, **if there's new raw tick data in the hypertable**.\n\nWhen this job runs, it only refreshes the time period between `start_offset`\nand `end_offset`, and ignores modifications outside of this window.\n\nIn most cases, set `end_offset` to be the same or bigger as the\ntime bucket in the continuous aggregate definition. This makes sure that only full\nbuckets get materialized during the refresh process.\n\n### 1-hour candlestick\n\nTo create a 1-hour candlestick view, follow the same process as\nin the previous step, except this time set the time bucket value to be one\nhour in the continuous aggregate definition:\n\n```sql\n/* 1-hour candlestick view */\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_hour_candle\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM crypto_ticks\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol\n```\n\nAdd a refresh policy to refresh the continuous aggregate every hour:\n\n```sql\n/* Refresh the continuous aggregate every hour */\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_hour_candle',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 min',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n```\n\nNotice how this example uses a different refresh policy with different\nparameter values to accommodate the 1-hour time bucket in the continuous\naggregate definition. The continuous aggregate will refresh every hour, so\nevery hour there will be new candlestick data materialized, if there's\nnew raw tick data in the hypertable.\n\n### 1-day candlestick\n\nCreate the final view in this tutorial for 1-day candlesticks using the same\nprocess as above, using a 1-day time bucket size:\n\n```sql\n/* 1-day candlestick */\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_day_candle\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM crypto_ticks\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol\n```\n\nAdd a refresh policy to refresh the continuous aggregate once a day:\n\n```sql\n/* Refresh the continuous aggregate every day */\nSELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_day_candle',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 day',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 day',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 day');\n```\n\nThe refresh job runs every day, and materializes two days' worth of\ncandlesticks.\n\n## Optional: add price change (delta) column in the candlestick view\n\nAs an optional step, you can add an additional column in the continuous\naggregate to calculate the price difference between the opening and closing\nprice within the bucket.\n\nIn general, you can calculate the price difference with the formula:\n\n```text\n(CLOSE PRICE - OPEN PRICE) / OPEN PRICE = delta\n```\n\nCalculate delta in SQL:\n\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket, symbol, (LAST(price, time)-FIRST(price, time))/FIRST(price, time) AS change_pct\nFROM crypto_ticks\nWHERE price != 0\nGROUP BY bucket, symbol\n```\n\nThe full continuous aggregate definition for a 1-day candlestick with a\nprice-change column:\n\n```sql\n/* 1-day candlestick with price change column*/\nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_day_candle_delta\nWITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 day', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume,\n (LAST(price, time)-FIRST(price, time))/FIRST(price, time) AS change_pct\n FROM crypto_ticks\n WHERE price != 0\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol\n```\n\n## Using multiple continuous aggregates\n\nYou cannot currently create a continuous aggregate on top of another continuous aggregate.\nHowever, this is not necessary in most cases. You can get a similar result and performance by\ncreating multiple continuous aggregates for the same hypertable. Due\nto the efficient materialization mechanism of continuous aggregates, both\nrefresh and query performance should work well.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/OLD-financial-candlestick-tick-data/query-candlestick-views/ =====\n\n# Query candlestick views\n\nSo far in this tutorial, you have created the schema to store tick data,\nand set up multiple candlestick views. In this section, use some\nexample candlestick queries and see how they can be represented in data visualizations.\n\n\nThe queries in this section are example queries. The [sample data](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/crypto_sample.zip)\nprovided with this tutorial is updated on a regular basis to have near-time\ndata, typically no more than a few days old. Our sample queries reflect time\nfilters that might be longer than you would normally use, so feel free to\nmodify the time filter in the `WHERE` clause as the data ages, or as you begin\nto insert updated tick readings.\n\n\n## 1-min BTC/USD candlestick chart\n\nStart with a `one_min_candle` continuous aggregate, which contains\n1-min candlesticks:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM one_min_candle\nWHERE symbol = 'BTC/USD' AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hour'\nORDER BY bucket\n```\n\n![1-min candlestick](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tutorials/candlestick/one_min.png)\n\n## 1-hour BTC/USD candlestick chart\n\nIf you find that 1-min candlesticks are too granular, you can query the\n`one_hour_candle` continuous aggregate containing 1-hour candlesticks:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM one_hour_candle\nWHERE symbol = 'BTC/USD' AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '2 day'\nORDER BY bucket\n```\n\n![1-hour candlestick](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tutorials/candlestick/one_hour.png)\n\n## 1-day BTC/USD candlestick chart\n\nTo zoom out even more, query the `one_day_candle`\ncontinuous aggregate, which has one-day candlesticks:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM one_day_candle\nWHERE symbol = 'BTC/USD' AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '14 days'\nORDER BY bucket\n```\n\n![1-day candlestick](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tutorials/candlestick/one_day.png)\n\n## BTC vs. ETH 1-day price changes delta line chart\n\nYou can calculate and visualize the price change differences between\ntwo symbols. In a previous example, you saw how to do this by comparing the\nopening and closing prices. But what if you want to compare today's closing\nprice with yesterday's closing price? Here's an example how you can achieve\nthis by using the [`LAG()`][lag] window function on an already existing\ncandlestick view:\n\n```sql\nSELECT *, (\"close\" - LAG(\"close\", 1) OVER (PARTITION BY symbol ORDER BY bucket)) / \"close\" AS change_pct\nFROM one_day_candle\nWHERE symbol IN ('BTC/USD', 'ETH/USD') AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '14 days'\nORDER BY bucket\n```\n\n![btc vs eth](https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tutorials/candlestick/pct_change.png)\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/OLD-financial-candlestick-tick-data/design-tick-schema/ =====\n\n# Design schema and ingest tick data\n\nThis tutorial shows you how to store real-time cryptocurrency or stock\ntick data in TimescaleDB. The initial schema provides the foundation to\nstore tick data only. Once you begin to store individual transactions, you can\ncalculate the candlestick values using TimescaleDB continuous aggregates\nbased on the raw tick data. This means that our initial schema doesn't need to\nspecifically store candlestick data.\n\n## Schema\n\nThis schema uses two tables:\n\n* **crypto_assets**: a relational table that stores the symbols to monitor.\n You can also include additional information about each\n symbol, such as social links.\n* **crypto_ticks**: a time-series table that stores the real-time tick data.\n\n**crypto_assets:**\n\n|Field|Description|\n|-|-|\n|symbol|The symbol of the crypto currency pair, such as BTC/USD|\n|name|The name of the pair, such as Bitcoin USD|\n\n**crypto_ticks:**\n\n|Field|Description|\n|-|-|\n|time|Timestamp, in UTC time zone|\n|symbol|Crypto pair symbol from the `crypto_assets` table|\n|price|The price registered on the exchange at that time|\n|day_volume|Total volume for the given day (incremental)|\n\nCreate the tables:\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE crypto_assets (\n symbol TEXT UNIQUE,\n \"name\" TEXT\n);\n\nCREATE TABLE crypto_ticks (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n symbol TEXT,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION,\n day_volume NUMERIC\n);\n```\n\nYou also need to turn the time-series table into a [hypertable][hypertable]:\n\n```sql\n-- convert the regular 'crypto_ticks' table into a TimescaleDB hypertable with 7-day chunks\nSELECT create_hypertable('crypto_ticks', 'time');\n```\n\nThis is an important step in order to efficiently store your time-series\ndata in TimescaleDB.\n\n### Using TIMESTAMP data types\n\nIt is best practice to store time values using the `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` (`TIMESTAMPTZ`)\ndata type. This makes it easier to query your data\nusing different time zones. TimescaleDB\nstores `TIMESTAMPTZ` values in UTC internally and makes the necessary\nconversions for your queries.\n\n## Insert tick data\n\nWith the hypertable and relational table created, download the sample files\ncontaining crypto assets and tick data from the last three weeks. Insert the data\ninto your TimescaleDB instance.\n\n### Inserting sample data\n\n1. Download the sample `.csv` files (provided by [Twelve Data][twelve-data]): [crypto_sample.csv](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/candlestick/crypto_sample.zip)\n\n ```bash\n wget https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/candlestick/crypto_sample.zip\n ```\n\n1. Unzip the file and change the directory if you need to:\n\n ```bash\n unzip crypto_sample.zip\n cd crypto_sample\n ```\n\n1. At the `psql` prompt, insert the content of the `.csv` files into the database.\n\n ```bash\n psql -x \"postgres://tsdbadmin:{YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE}@{YOUR_HOSTNAME_HERE}:{YOUR_PORT_HERE}/tsdb?sslmode=require\"\n\n \\COPY crypto_assets FROM 'crypto_assets.csv' CSV HEADER;\n \\COPY crypto_ticks FROM 'crypto_ticks.csv' CSV HEADER;\n ```\n\nIf you want to ingest real-time market data, instead of sample data, check out\nour complementing tutorial Ingest real-time financial websocket data to\ningest data directly from the [Twelve Data][twelve-data] financial API.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/OLD-financial-candlestick-tick-data/index/ =====\n\n# Store financial tick data in TimescaleDB using the OHLCV (candlestick) format\n\n\n\n\n[Candlestick charts][charts] are the standard way to analyze the price changes of\nfinancial assets. They can be used to examine trends in stock prices, cryptocurrency prices,\nor even NFT prices. To generate candlestick charts, you need candlestick data in\nthe OHLCV format. That is, you need the Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume data for\nsome financial assets.\n\nThis tutorial shows you how to efficiently store raw financial tick\ndata, create different candlestick views, and query aggregated data in\nTimescaleDB using the OHLCV format. It also shows you how to download sample\ndata containing real-world crypto tick transactions for cryptocurrencies like\nBTC, ETH, and other popular assets.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have:\n\n* A TimescaleDB instance running locally or on the cloud. For more\n information, see [the Getting Started guide](https://docs.tigerdata.com/getting-started/latest/)\n* [`psql`][psql], DBeaver, or any other Postgres client\n\n## What's candlestick data and OHLCV?\n\nCandlestick charts are used in the financial sector to visualize the price\nchange of an asset. Each candlestick represents a time\nframe (for example, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, or similar) and shows how the asset's\nprice changed during that time.\n\n![candlestick](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/tutorials/intraday-stock-analysis/candlestick_fig.png)\n\nCandlestick charts are generated from candlestick data, which is the collection of data points\nused in the chart. This is often abbreviated\nas OHLCV (open-high-low-close-volume):\n\n* Open: opening price\n* High: highest price\n* Low: lowest price\n* Close: closing price\n* Volume: volume of transactions\n\nThese data points correspond to the bucket of time covered by the candlestick.\nFor example, a 1-minute candlestick would need the open and close prices for that minute.\n\nMany Tiger Data community members use\nTimescaleDB to store and analyze candlestick data. Here are some examples:\n\n* [How Trading Strategy built a data stack for crypto quant trading][trading-strategy]\n* [How Messari uses data to open the cryptoeconomy to everyone][messari]\n* [How I power a (successful) crypto trading bot with TimescaleDB][bot]\n\nFollow this tutorial and see how to set up your TimescaleDB database to consume real-time tick or aggregated financial data and generate candlestick views efficiently.\n\n* [Design schema and ingest tick data][design]\n* [Create candlestick (open-high-low-close-volume) aggregates][create]\n* [Query candlestick views][query]\n* [Advanced data management][manage]\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/OLD-financial-candlestick-tick-data/advanced-data-management/ =====\n\n# Advanced data management\n\nThe final part of this tutorial shows you some more advanced techniques\nto efficiently manage your tick and candlestick data long-term. TimescaleDB\nis equipped with multiple features that help you manage your data lifecycle\nand reduce your disk storage needs as your data grows.\n\nThis section contains four examples of how you can set up automation policies on your\ntick data hypertable and your candlestick continuous aggregates. This can help you\nsave on disk storage and improve the performance of long-range analytical queries by\nautomatically:\n\n* [Deleting older tick data](#automatically-delete-older-tick-data)\n* [Deleting older candlestick data](#automatically-delete-older-candlestick-data)\n* [Compressing tick data](#automatically-compress-tick-data)\n* [Compressing candlestick data](#automatically-compress-candlestick-data)\n\n\nBefore you implement any of these automation policies, it's important to have\na high-level understanding of chunk time intervals in TimescaleDB\nhypertables and continuous aggregates. The chunk time interval you set\nfor your tick data table directly affects how these automation policies\nwork. For more information, see the\n[hypertables and chunks][chunks] section.\n\n## Hypertable chunk time intervals and automation policies\n\nTimescaleDB uses hypertables to provide a high-level and familiar abstraction\nlayer to interact with Postgres tables. You just need to access one\nhypertable to access all of your time-series data.\n\nUnder the hood, TimescaleDB creates chunks based on the timestamp column.\nEach chunk size is determined by the [`chunk_time_interval`][interval]\nparameter. You can provide this parameter when creating the hypertable, or you can change\nit afterwards. If you don't provide this optional parameter, the\nchunk time interval defaults to 7 days. This means that each of the\nchunks in the hypertable contains 7 days' worth of data.\n\nKnowing your chunk time interval is important. All of the TimescaleDB automation\npolicies described in this section depend on this information, and the chunk\ntime interval fundamentally affects how these policies impact your data.\n\nIn this section, learn about these automation policies and how they work in the\ncontext of financial tick data.\n\n## Automatically delete older tick data\n\nUsually, the older your time-series data, the less relevant and useful it is.\nThis is often the case with tick data as well. As time passes, you might not\nneed the raw tick data any more, because you only want to query the candlestick\naggregations. In this scenario, you can decide to remove tick data\nautomatically from your hypertable after it gets older than a certain time\ninterval.\n\nTimescaleDB has a built-in way to automatically remove raw data after a\nspecific time. You can set up this automation using a\n[data retention policy][retention]:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_retention_policy('crypto_ticks', INTERVAL '7 days');\n```\n\nWhen you run this, it adds a data retention policy to the `crypto_ticks`\nhypertable that removes a chunk after all the data in the chunk becomes\nolder than 7 days. All records in the chunk need to be\nolder than 7 days before the chunk is dropped.\n\nKnowledge of your hypertable's chunk time interval\nis crucial here. If you were to set a data retention policy with\n`INTERVAL '3 days'`, the policy would not remove any data after three days, because your chunk time interval is seven days. Even after three\ndays have passed, the most recent chunk still contains data that is newer than three\ndays, and so cannot be removed by the data retention policy.\n\nIf you want to change this behavior, and drop chunks more often and\nsooner, experiment with different chunk time intervals. For example, if you\nset the chunk time interval to be two days only, you could create a retention\npolicy with a 2-day interval that would drop a chunk every other day\n(assuming you're ingesting data in the meantime).\n\nFor more information, see the [data retention][retention] section.\n\n\nMake sure none of the continuous aggregate policies intersect with a data\nretention policy. It's possible to keep the candlestick data in the continuous\naggregate and drop tick data from the underlying hypertable, but only if you\nmaterialize data in the continuous aggregate first, before the data is dropped\nfrom the underlying hypertable.\n\n\n## Automatically delete older candlestick data\n\nDeleting older raw tick data from your hypertable while retaining aggregate\nviews for longer periods is a common way of minimizing disk utilization.\nHowever, deleting older candlestick data from the continuous aggregates can\nprovide another method for further control over long-term disk use.\nTimescaleDB allows you to create data retention policies on continuous\naggregates as well.\n\n\nContinuous aggregates also have chunk time intervals because they use\nhypertables in the background. By default, the continuous aggregate's chunk\ntime interval is 10 times what the original hypertable's chunk time interval is.\nFor example, if the original hypertable's chunk time interval is 7 days, the\ncontinuous aggregates that are on top of it will have a 70 day chunk time\ninterval.\n\n\nYou can set up a data retention policy to remove old data from\nyour `one_min_candle` continuous aggregate:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_retention_policy('one_min_candle', INTERVAL '70 days');\n```\n\nThis data retention policy removes chunks from the continuous aggregate\nthat are older than 70 days. In TimescaleDB, this is determined by the\n`range_end` property of a hypertable, or in the case of a continuous\naggregate, the materialized hypertable. In practice, this means that if\nyou were to\ndefine a data retention policy of 30 days for a continuous aggregate that has\na `chunk_time_interval` of 70 days, data would not be removed from the\ncontinuous aggregates until the `range_end` of a chunk is at least 70\ndays older than the current time, due to the chunk time interval of the\noriginal hypertable.\n\n## Automatically compress tick data\n\nTimescaleDB allows you to keep your tick data in the hypertable\nbut still save on storage costs with TimescaleDB's native compression.\nYou need to enable compression on the hypertable and set up a compression\npolicy to automatically compress old data.\n\nEnable compression on `crypto_ticks` hypertable:\n\n```sql\nALTER TABLE crypto_ticks SET (\n timescaledb.compress,\n timescaledb.compress_segmentby = 'symbol'\n);\n```\n\nSet up compression policy to compress data that's older than 7 days:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_compression_policy('crypto_ticks', INTERVAL '7 days');\n```\n\nExecuting these two SQL scripts compresses chunks that are\nolder than 7 days.\n\nFor more information, see the [compression][compression] section.\n\n## Automatically compress candlestick data\n\nBeginning with [TimescaleDB 2.6][release-blog], you can also set up a\ncompression policy on your continuous aggregates. This is a useful feature\nif you store a lot of historical candlestick data that consumes significant\ndisk space, but you still want to retain it for longer periods.\n\nEnable compression on the `one_min_candle` view:\n\n```sql\nALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW one_min_candle set (timescaledb.compress = true);\n```\n\nAdd a compression policy to compress data after 70 days:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_compression_policy('one_min_candle', compress_after=> INTERVAL '70 days');\n```\n\n\nBefore setting a compression policy on any of the candlestick views,\nset a refresh policy first. The compression policy interval should\nbe set so that actively refreshed time intervals are not compressed.\n\n\n[Read more about compressing continuous aggregates.][caggs-compress]\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/energy-data/dataset-energy/ =====\n\n# Energy time-series data tutorial - set up dataset\n\n\n\nThis tutorial uses the energy consumption data for over a year in a\nhypertable named `metrics`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. To create a hypertable to store the energy consumption data, call [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE \"metrics\"(\n created timestamp with time zone default now() not null,\n type_id integer not null,\n value double precision not null\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n## Load energy consumption data\n\nWhen you have your database set up, you can load the energy consumption data\ninto the `metrics` hypertable.\n\n\nThis is a large dataset, so it might take a long time, depending on your network\nconnection.\n\n\n1. Download the dataset:\n\n\n [metrics.csv.gz](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/metrics.csv.gz)\n\n\n1. Use your file manager to decompress the downloaded dataset, and take a note\n of the path to the `metrics.csv` file.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, copy the data from the `metrics.csv` file into\n your hypertable. Make sure you point to the correct path, if it is not in\n your current working directory:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY metrics FROM metrics.csv CSV;\n ```\n\n1. You can check that the data has been copied successfully with this command:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM metrics LIMIT 5;\n ```\n\n You should get five records that look like this:\n\n ```sql\n created | type_id | value\n -------------------------------+---------+-------\n 2023-05-31 23:59:59.043264+00 | 13 | 1.78\n 2023-05-31 23:59:59.042673+00 | 2 | 126\n 2023-05-31 23:59:59.042667+00 | 11 | 1.79\n 2023-05-31 23:59:59.042623+00 | 23 | 0.408\n 2023-05-31 23:59:59.042603+00 | 12 | 0.96\n ```\n\n## Create continuous aggregates\n\nIn modern applications, data usually grows very quickly. This means that aggregating\nit into useful summaries can become very slow. If you are collecting data very frequently, you might want to aggregate your\ndata into minutes or hours instead. For example, if an IoT device takes\ntemperature readings every second, you might want to find the average temperature\nfor each hour. Every time you run this query, the database needs to scan the\nentire table and recalculate the average. TimescaleDB makes aggregating data lightning fast, accurate, and easy with continuous aggregates.\n\n![Reduced data calls with continuous aggregates](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/images/continuous-aggregate.png)\n\nContinuous aggregates in TimescaleDB are a kind of hypertable that is refreshed automatically\nin the background as new data is added, or old data is modified. Changes to your\ndataset are tracked, and the hypertable behind the continuous aggregate is\nautomatically updated in the background.\n\nContinuous aggregates have a much lower maintenance burden than regular Postgres materialized\nviews, because the whole view is not created from scratch on each refresh. This\nmeans that you can get on with working your data instead of maintaining your\ndatabase.\n\nBecause continuous aggregates are based on hypertables, you can query them in exactly the same way as your other tables. This includes continuous aggregates in the rowstore, compressed into the [columnstore][hypercore],\nor [tiered to object storage][data-tiering]. You can even create [continuous aggregates on top of your continuous aggregates][hierarchical-caggs], for an even more fine-tuned aggregation.\n\n[Real-time aggregation][real-time-aggregation] enables you to combine pre-aggregated data from the materialized view with the most recent raw data. This gives you up-to-date results on every query. In TimescaleDB v2.13 and later, real-time aggregates are **DISABLED** by default. In earlier versions, real-time aggregates are **ENABLED** by default; when you create a continuous aggregate, queries to that view include the results from the most recent raw data.\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on a day-to-day basis**\n\n 1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_day_by_day` for energy consumption:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW kwh_day_by_day(time, value)\n with (timescaledb.continuous) as\n SELECT time_bucket('1 day', created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy to keep `kwh_day_by_day` up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('kwh_day_by_day',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. **Monitor energy consumption on an hourly basis**\n\n 1. Create a continuous aggregate `kwh_hour_by_hour` for energy consumption:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW kwh_hour_by_hour(time, value)\n with (timescaledb.continuous) as\n SELECT time_bucket('01:00:00', metrics.created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) * 100.) / 100. AS value\n FROM metrics\n WHERE type_id = 5\n GROUP BY 1;\n ```\n\n 1. Add a refresh policy to keep the continuous aggregate up-to-date:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('kwh_hour_by_hour',\n start_offset => NULL,\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n1. **Analyze your data**\n\n Now you have made continuous aggregates, it could be a good idea to use them to perform analytics on your data.\n For example, to see how average energy consumption changes during weekdays over the last year, run the following query:\n ```sql\n WITH per_day AS (\n SELECT\n time,\n value\n FROM kwh_day_by_day\n WHERE \"time\" at time zone 'Europe/Berlin' > date_trunc('month', time) - interval '1 year'\n ORDER BY 1\n ), daily AS (\n SELECT\n to_char(time, 'Dy') as day,\n value\n FROM per_day\n ), percentile AS (\n SELECT\n day,\n approx_percentile(0.50, percentile_agg(value)) as value\n FROM daily\n GROUP BY 1\n ORDER BY 1\n )\n SELECT\n d.day,\n d.ordinal,\n pd.value\n FROM unnest(array['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']) WITH ORDINALITY AS d(day, ordinal)\n LEFT JOIN percentile pd ON lower(pd.day) = lower(d.day);\n ```\n\n You see something like:\n\n | day | ordinal | value |\n | --- | ------- | ----- |\n | Mon | 2 | 23.08078714975423 |\n | Sun | 1 | 19.511430831944395 |\n | Tue | 3 | 25.003118897837307 |\n | Wed | 4 | 8.09300571759772 |\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\n In your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\n Configure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n 1. Click `Save & test`.\n\n Grafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/energy-data/query-energy/ =====\n\n# Energy consumption data tutorial - query the data\n\nWhen you have your dataset loaded, you can start constructing some queries to\ndiscover what your data tells you.\nThis tutorial uses [TimescaleDB hyperfunctions][about-hyperfunctions] to construct\nqueries that are not possible in standard Postgres.\n\nIn this section, you learn how to construct queries, to answer these questions:\n\n* [Energy consumption by hour of day](#what-is-the-energy-consumption-by-the-hour-of-the-day)\n* [Energy consumption by weekday](#what-is-the-energy-consumption-by-the-day-of-the-week).\n* [Energy consumption by month](#what-is-the-energy-consumption-on-a-monthly-basis).\n\n## What is the energy consumption by the hour of the day?\n\nWhen you have your database set up for energy consumption data, you can\nconstruct a query to find the median and the maximum consumption of energy on an\nhourly basis in a typical day.\n\n### Finding how many kilowatts of energy is consumed on an hourly basis\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the energy consumption dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use the TimescaleDB Toolkit functionality to get calculate\n the fiftieth percentile or the median. Then calculate the maximum energy\n consumed using the standard Postgres max function:\n\n ```sql\n WITH per_hour AS (\n SELECT\n time,\n value\n FROM kwh_hour_by_hour\n WHERE \"time\" at time zone 'Europe/Berlin' > date_trunc('month', time) - interval '1 year'\n ORDER BY 1\n ), hourly AS (\n SELECT\n extract(HOUR FROM time) * interval '1 hour' as hour,\n value\n FROM per_hour\n )\n SELECT\n hour,\n approx_percentile(0.50, percentile_agg(value)) as median,\n max(value) as maximum\n FROM hourly\n GROUP BY 1\n ORDER BY 1;\n ```\n\n1. The data you get back looks a bit like this:\n\n ```sql\n hour | median | maximum\n ----------+--------------------+---------\n 00:00:00 | 0.5998949812512439 | 0.6\n 01:00:00 | 0.5998949812512439 | 0.6\n 02:00:00 | 0.5998949812512439 | 0.6\n 03:00:00 | 1.6015944383271534 | 1.9\n 04:00:00 | 2.5986701108275327 | 2.7\n 05:00:00 | 1.4007385207185301 | 3.4\n 06:00:00 | 0.5998949812512439 | 2.7\n 07:00:00 | 0.6997720645753496 | 0.8\n 08:00:00 | 0.6997720645753496 | 0.8\n 09:00:00 | 0.6997720645753496 | 0.8\n 10:00:00 | 0.9003240409125329 | 1.1\n 11:00:00 | 0.8001143897618259 | 0.9\n ```\n\n## What is the energy consumption by the day of the week?\n\nYou can also check how energy consumption varies between weekends and weekdays.\n\n### Finding energy consumption during the weekdays\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the energy consumption dataset.\n1.

The data you get back looks a bit like this:\n\n ```sql\n day | ordinal | value\n -----+---------+--------------------\n Mon | 2 | 23.08078714975423\n Sun | 1 | 19.511430831944395\n Tue | 3 | 25.003118897837307\n Wed | 4 | 8.09300571759772\n Sat | 7 |\n Fri | 6 |\n Thu | 5 |\n ```\n\n## What is the energy consumption on a monthly basis?\n\nYou may also want to check the energy consumption that occurs on a monthly basis.\n\n### Finding energy consumption for each month of the year\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the energy consumption\n dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to find consumption for each month of the\n year:\n\n ```sql\n WITH per_day AS (\n SELECT\n time,\n value\n FROM kwh_day_by_day\n WHERE \"time\" > now() - interval '1 year'\n ORDER BY 1\n ), per_month AS (\n SELECT\n to_char(time, 'Mon') as month,\n sum(value) as value\n FROM per_day\n GROUP BY 1\n )\n SELECT\n m.month,\n m.ordinal,\n pd.value\n FROM unnest(array['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']) WITH ORDINALITY AS m(month, ordinal)\n LEFT JOIN per_month pd ON lower(pd.month) = lower(m.month)\n ORDER BY ordinal;\n ```\n\n1.

You need details of your power consumption, typical\nusage hours, distribution over a year, and other information. Collecting consumption data at the\ngranularity of a few seconds and then getting insights on it is key - and this is what TimescaleDB is best at.\n\nThis tutorial uses energy consumption data from a typical household\nfor over a year. You construct queries that look at how many watts were\nconsumed, and when. Additionally, you can visualize the energy consumption data\nin Grafana.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have:\n\n* Signed up for a [free Tiger Data account][cloud-install].\n* [](#) [Signed up for a Grafana account][grafana-setup] to graph queries.\n\n## Steps in this tutorial\n\nThis tutorial covers:\n\n1. [Setting up your dataset][dataset-energy]: Set up and connect to a\n Tiger Cloud service, and load data into the database using `psql`.\n1. [Querying your dataset][query-energy]: Analyze a dataset containing energy\n consumption data using Tiger Cloud and Postgres, and visualize the\n results in Grafana.\n1. [Bonus: Store data efficiently][compress-energy]: Learn how to store and query your\nenergy consumption data more efficiently using compression feature of Timescale.\n\n## About querying data with Timescale\n\nThis tutorial uses sample energy consumption data to show you how to construct\nqueries for time-series data. The analysis you do in this tutorial is\nsimilar to the kind of analysis households might use to do things like plan\ntheir solar installation, or optimize their energy use over time.\n\nIt starts by teaching you how to set up and connect to a Tiger Cloud service,\ncreate tables, and load data into the tables using `psql`.\n\nYou then learn how to conduct analysis and monitoring on your dataset. It also walks\nyou through the steps to visualize the results in Grafana.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/energy-data/compress-energy/ =====\n\n# Energy consumption data tutorial - set up compression\n\nYou have now seen how to create a hypertable for your energy consumption\ndataset and query it. When ingesting a dataset like this\nis seldom necessary to update old data and over time the amount of\ndata in the tables grows. Over time you end up with a lot of data and\nsince this is mostly immutable you can compress it to save space and\navoid incurring additional cost.\n\nIt is possible to use disk-oriented compression like the support\noffered by ZFS and Btrfs but since TimescaleDB is build for handling\nevent-oriented data (such as time-series) it comes with support for\ncompressing data in hypertables.\n\nTimescaleDB compression allows you to store the data in a vastly more\nefficient format allowing up to 20x compression ratio compared to a\nnormal Postgres table, but this is of course highly dependent on the\ndata and configuration.\n\nTimescaleDB compression is implemented natively in Postgres and does\nnot require special storage formats. Instead it relies on features of\nPostgres to transform the data into columnar format before\ncompression. The use of a columnar format allows better compression\nratio since similar data is stored adjacently. For more details on how\nthe compression format looks, you can look at the [compression\ndesign][compression-design] section.\n\nA beneficial side-effect of compressing data is that certain queries\nare significantly faster since less data has to be read into\nmemory.\n\n## Compression setup\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the energy\n dataset using, for example `psql`.\n1. Enable compression on the table and pick suitable segment-by and\n order-by column using the `ALTER TABLE` command:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE metrics\n SET (\n timescaledb.compress,\n timescaledb.compress_segmentby='type_id',\n timescaledb.compress_orderby='created DESC'\n );\n ```\n Depending on the choice if segment-by and order-by column you can\n get very different performance and compression ratio. To learn\n more about how to pick the correct columns, see\n [here][segment-by-columns].\n1. You can manually compress all the chunks of the hypertable using\n `compress_chunk` in this manner:\n ```sql\n SELECT compress_chunk(c) from show_chunks('metrics') c;\n ```\n You can also [automate compression][automatic-compression] by\n adding a [compression policy][add_compression_policy] which will\n be covered below.\n\n1. Now that you have compressed the table you can compare the size of\n the dataset before and after compression:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT\n pg_size_pretty(before_compression_total_bytes) as before,\n pg_size_pretty(after_compression_total_bytes) as after\n FROM hypertable_compression_stats('metrics');\n ```\n\tThis shows a significant improvement in data usage:\n\n ```sql\n before | after\n --------+-------\n 180 MB | 16 MB\n (1 row)\n ```\n\n## Add a compression policy\n\nTo avoid running the compression step each time you have some data to\ncompress you can set up a compression policy. The compression policy\nallows you to compress data that is older than a particular age, for\nexample, to compress all chunks that are older than 8 days:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_compression_policy('metrics', INTERVAL '8 days');\n```\n\nCompression policies run on a regular schedule, by default once every\nday, which means that you might have up to 9 days of uncompressed data\nwith the setting above.\n\nYou can find more information on compression policies in the\n[add_compression_policy][add_compression_policy] section.\n\n\n## Taking advantage of query speedups\n\n\nPreviously, compression was set up to be segmented by `type_id` column value.\nThis means fetching data by filtering or grouping on that column will be\nmore efficient. Ordering is also set to `created` descending so if you run queries\nwhich try to order data with that ordering, you should see performance benefits.\n\nFor instance, if you run the query example from previous section:\n```sql\nSELECT time_bucket('1 day', created, 'Europe/Berlin') AS \"time\",\n round((last(value, created) - first(value, created)) *\n100.) / 100. AS value\nFROM metrics\nWHERE type_id = 5\nGROUP BY 1;\n```\n\nYou should see a decent performance difference when the dataset is compressed and\nwhen is decompressed. Try it yourself by running the previous query, decompressing\nthe dataset and running it again while timing the execution time. You can enable\ntiming query times in psql by running:\n\n```sql\n \\timing\n```\n\nTo decompress the whole dataset, run:\n```sql\n SELECT decompress_chunk(c) from show_chunks('metrics') c;\n```\n\nOn an example setup, speedup performance observed was an order of magnitude,\n30 ms when compressed vs 360 ms when decompressed.\n\nTry it yourself and see what you get!\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/financial-ingest-real-time/financial-ingest-dataset/ =====\n\n# Ingest real-time financial websocket data - Set up the dataset\n\n\n\nThis tutorial uses a dataset that contains second-by-second stock-trade data for\nthe top 100 most-traded symbols, in a hypertable named `stocks_real_time`. It\nalso includes a separate table of company symbols and company names, in a\nregular Postgres table named `company`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Connect to the websocket server\n\nWhen you connect to the Twelve Data API through a websocket, you create a\npersistent connection between your computer and the websocket server.\nYou set up a Python environment, and pass two arguments to create a\nwebsocket object and establish the connection.\n\n### Set up a new Python environment\n\nCreate a new Python virtual environment for this project and activate it. All\nthe packages you need to complete for this tutorial are installed in this environment.\n\n1. Create and activate a Python virtual environment:\n\n ```bash\n virtualenv env\n source env/bin/activate\n ```\n\n1. Install the Twelve Data Python\n [wrapper library][twelve-wrapper]\n with websocket support. This library allows you to make requests to the\n API and maintain a stable websocket connection.\n\n ```bash\n pip install twelvedata websocket-client\n ```\n\n1. Install [Psycopg2][psycopg2] so that you can connect the\n TimescaleDB from your Python script:\n\n ```bash\n pip install psycopg2-binary\n ```\n\n### Create the websocket connection\n\nA persistent connection between your computer and the websocket server is used\nto receive data for as long as the connection is maintained. You need to pass\ntwo arguments to create a websocket object and establish connection.\n\n#### Websocket arguments\n\n* `on_event`\n\n This argument needs to be a function that is invoked whenever there's a\n new data record is received from the websocket:\n\n ```python\n def on_event(event):\n print(event) # prints out the data record (dictionary)\n ```\n\n This is where you want to implement the ingestion logic so whenever\n there's new data available you insert it into the database.\n\n* `symbols`\n\n This argument needs to be a list of stock ticker symbols (for example,\n `MSFT`) or crypto trading pairs (for example, `BTC/USD`). When using a\n websocket connection you always need to subscribe to the events you want to\n receive. You can do this by using the `symbols` argument or if your\n connection is already created you can also use the `subscribe()` function to\n get data for additional symbols.\n\n### Connect to the websocket server\n\n1. Create a new Python file called `websocket_test.py` and connect to the\n Twelve Data servers using the ``:\n\n ```python\n import time\n from twelvedata import TDClient\n\n messages_history = []\n\n def on_event(event):\n print(event) # prints out the data record (dictionary)\n messages_history.append(event)\n\n td = TDClient(apikey=\"\")\n ws = td.websocket(symbols=[\"BTC/USD\", \"ETH/USD\"], on_event=on_event)\n ws.subscribe(['ETH/BTC', 'AAPL'])\n ws.connect()\n while True:\n print('messages received: ', len(messages_history))\n ws.heartbeat()\n time.sleep(10)\n ```\n\n1. Run the Python script:\n\n ```bash\n python websocket_test.py\n ```\n\n1. When you run the script, you receive a response from the server about the\n status of your connection:\n\n ```bash\n {'event': 'subscribe-status',\n 'status': 'ok',\n 'success': [\n {'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'mic_code': 'Coinbase Pro', 'country': '', 'type': 'Digital Currency'},\n {'symbol': 'ETH/USD', 'exchange': 'Huobi', 'mic_code': 'Huobi', 'country': '', 'type': 'Digital Currency'}\n ],\n 'fails': None\n }\n ```\n\n When you have established a connection to the websocket server,\n wait a few seconds, and you can see data records, like this:\n\n ```bash\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'currency_base': 'Bitcoin', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438893, 'price': 30361.2, 'bid': 30361.2, 'ask': 30361.2, 'day_volume': 49153}\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'currency_base': 'Bitcoin', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438896, 'price': 30380.6, 'bid': 30380.6, 'ask': 30380.6, 'day_volume': 49157}\n {'event': 'heartbeat', 'status': 'ok'}\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'ETH/USD', 'currency_base': 'Ethereum', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Huobi', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438899, 'price': 2089.07, 'bid': 2089.02, 'ask': 2089.03, 'day_volume': 193818}\n {'event': 'price', 'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'currency_base': 'Bitcoin', 'currency_quote': 'US Dollar', 'exchange': 'Coinbase Pro', 'type': 'Digital Currency', 'timestamp': 1652438900, 'price': 30346.0, 'bid': 30346.0, 'ask': 30346.0, 'day_volume': 49167}\n ```\n\n Each price event gives you multiple data points about the given trading pair\n such as the name of the exchange, and the current price. You can also\n occasionally see `heartbeat` events in the response; these events signal\n the health of the connection over time.\n At this point the websocket connection is working successfully to pass data.\n\n\n## Optimize time-series data in a hypertable\n\nHypertables are Postgres tables in TimescaleDB that automatically partition your time-series data by time. Time-series data represents the way a system, process, or behavior changes over time. Hypertables enable TimescaleDB to work efficiently with time-series data. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range\nof time, and only contains data from that range. When you run a query, TimescaleDB identifies the correct chunk and\nruns the query on it, instead of going through the entire table.\n\n[Hypercore][hypercore] is the hybrid row-columnar storage engine in TimescaleDB used by hypertables. Traditional\ndatabases force a trade-off between fast inserts (row-based storage) and efficient analytics\n(columnar storage). Hypercore eliminates this trade-off, allowing real-time analytics without sacrificing\ntransactional capabilities.\n\nHypercore dynamically stores data in the most efficient format for its lifecycle:\n\n* **Row-based storage for recent data**: the most recent chunk (and possibly more) is always stored in the rowstore,\n ensuring fast inserts, updates, and low-latency single record queries. Additionally, row-based storage is used as a\n writethrough for inserts and updates to columnar storage.\n* **Columnar storage for analytical performance**: chunks are automatically compressed into the columnstore, optimizing\n storage efficiency and accelerating analytical queries.\n\nUnlike traditional columnar databases, hypercore allows data to be inserted or modified at any stage, making it a\nflexible solution for both high-ingest transactional workloads and real-time analytics—within a single database.\n\nBecause TimescaleDB is 100% Postgres, you can use all the standard Postgres tables, indexes, stored\nprocedures, and other objects alongside your hypertables. This makes creating and working with hypertables similar\nto standard Postgres.\n\n1. **Connect to your Tiger Cloud service**\n\n In [Tiger Cloud Console][services-portal] open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors]. You can also connect to your service using [psql][connect-using-psql].\n\n1. **Create a hypertable to store the real-time cryptocurrency data**\n\n Create a [hypertable][hypertables-section] for your time-series data using [CREATE TABLE][hypertable-create-table].\n For [efficient queries][secondary-indexes] on data in the columnstore, remember to `segmentby` the column you will\n use most often to filter your data:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_ticks (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n symbol TEXT,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION,\n day_volume NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby='symbol',\n tsdb.orderby='time DESC'\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n## Create a standard Postgres table for relational data\n\nWhen you have relational data that enhances your time-series data, store that data in\nstandard Postgres relational tables.\n\n1. **Add a table to store the asset symbol and name in a relational table**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_assets (\n symbol TEXT UNIQUE,\n \"name\" TEXT\n );\n ```\n\nYou now have two tables within your Tiger Cloud service. A hypertable named `crypto_ticks`, and a normal\nPostgres table named `crypto_assets`.\n\nWhen you ingest data into a transactional database like Timescale, it is more\nefficient to insert data in batches rather than inserting data row-by-row. Using\none transaction to insert multiple rows can significantly increase the overall\ningest capacity and speed of your Tiger Cloud service.\n\n## Batching in memory\n\nA common practice to implement batching is to store new records in memory\nfirst, then after the batch reaches a certain size, insert all the records\nfrom memory into the database in one transaction. The perfect batch size isn't\nuniversal, but you can experiment with different batch sizes\n(for example, 100, 1000, 10000, and so on) and see which one fits your use case better.\nUsing batching is a fairly common pattern when ingesting data into TimescaleDB\nfrom Kafka, Kinesis, or websocket connections.\n\nTo ingest the data into your Tiger Cloud service, you need to implement the\n`on_event` function.\n\nAfter the websocket connection is set up, you can use the `on_event` function\nto ingest data into the database. This is a data pipeline that ingests real-time\nfinancial data into your Tiger Cloud service.\n\nYou can implement a batching solution in Python with Psycopg2.\nYou can implement the ingestion logic within the `on_event` function that\nyou can then pass over to the websocket object.\n\nThis function needs to:\n\n1. Check if the item is a data item, and not websocket metadata.\n1. Adjust the data so that it fits the database schema, including the data\n types, and order of columns.\n1. Add it to the in-memory batch, which is a list in Python.\n1. If the batch reaches a certain size, insert the data, and reset or empty the list.\n\n## Ingest data in real-time\n\n1. Update the Python script that prints out the current batch size, so you can\n follow when data gets ingested from memory into your database. Use\n the ``, ``, and `` details for the Tiger Cloud service\n where you want to ingest the data and your API key from Twelve Data:\n\n ```python\n import time\n import psycopg2\n\n from twelvedata import TDClient\n from psycopg2.extras import execute_values\n from datetime import datetime\n\n class WebsocketPipeline():\n DB_TABLE = \"stocks_real_time\"\n\n DB_COLUMNS=[\"time\", \"symbol\", \"price\", \"day_volume\"]\n\n MAX_BATCH_SIZE=100\n\n def __init__(self, conn):\n \"\"\"Connect to the Twelve Data web socket server and stream\n data into the database.\n\n Args:\n conn: psycopg2 connection object\n \"\"\"\n self.conn = conn\n self.current_batch = []\n self.insert_counter = 0\n\n def _insert_values(self, data):\n if self.conn is not None:\n cursor = self.conn.cursor()\n sql = f\"\"\"\n INSERT INTO {self.DB_TABLE} ({','.join(self.DB_COLUMNS)})\n VALUES %s;\"\"\"\n execute_values(cursor, sql, data)\n self.conn.commit()\n\n def _on_event(self, event):\n \"\"\"This function gets called whenever there's a new data record coming\n back from the server.\n\n Args:\n event (dict): data record\n \"\"\"\n if event[\"event\"] == \"price\":\n timestamp = datetime.utcfromtimestamp(event[\"timestamp\"])\n data = (timestamp, event[\"symbol\"], event[\"price\"], event.get(\"day_volume\"))\n\n self.current_batch.append(data)\n print(f\"Current batch size: {len(self.current_batch)}\")\n\n if len(self.current_batch) == self.MAX_BATCH_SIZE:\n self._insert_values(self.current_batch)\n self.insert_counter += 1\n print(f\"Batch insert #{self.insert_counter}\")\n self.current_batch = []\n def start(self, symbols):\n \"\"\"Connect to the web socket server and start streaming real-time data\n into the database.\n\n Args:\n symbols (list of symbols): List of stock/crypto symbols\n \"\"\"\n td = TDClient(apikey=\"\",\n user=\"tsdbadmin\",\n password=\"\",\n port=\"\")\n\n symbols = [\"BTC/USD\", \"ETH/USD\", \"MSFT\", \"AAPL\"]\n websocket = WebsocketPipeline(conn)\n websocket.start(symbols=symbols)\n ```\n\n1. Run the script:\n\n ```bash\n python websocket_test.py\n ```\n\nYou can even create separate Python scripts to start multiple websocket\nconnections for different types of symbols, for example, one for stock, and\nanother one for cryptocurrency prices.\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nIf you see an error message similar to this:\n\n```bash\n2022-05-13 18:51:41,976 - ws-twelvedata - ERROR - TDWebSocket ERROR: Handshake status 200 OK\n```\n\nThen check that you use a proper API key received from Twelve Data.\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\n In your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`. The default credentials are `admin`, `admin`.\n - Grafana Cloud: use the URL and credentials you set when you created your account.\n1. **Add your service as a data source**\n 1. Open `Connections` > `Data sources`, then click `Add new data source`.\n 1. Select `PostgreSQL` from the list.\n 1. Configure the connection:\n - `Host URL`, `Database name`, `Username`, and `Password`\n\n Configure using your [connection details][connection-info]. `Host URL` is in the format `:`.\n - `TLS/SSL Mode`: select `require`.\n - `PostgreSQL options`: enable `TimescaleDB`.\n - Leave the default setting for all other fields.\n\n 1. Click `Save & test`.\n\n Grafana checks that your details are set correctly.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/financial-ingest-real-time/financial-ingest-query/ =====\n\n# Ingest real-time financial websocket data - Query the data\n\n\n\nTo look at OHLCV values, the most effective way is to create a continuous\naggregate. You can create a continuous aggregate to aggregate data\nfor each hour, then set the aggregate to refresh every hour, and aggregate\nthe last two hours' worth of data.\n\n## Creating a continuous aggregate\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service `tsdb` that contains the Twelve Data\n stocks dataset.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, create the continuous aggregate to aggregate data every\n minute:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW one_hour_candle\n WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS\n SELECT\n time_bucket('1 hour', time) AS bucket,\n symbol,\n FIRST(price, time) AS \"open\",\n MAX(price) AS high,\n MIN(price) AS low,\n LAST(price, time) AS \"close\",\n LAST(day_volume, time) AS day_volume\n FROM crypto_ticks\n GROUP BY bucket, symbol;\n ```\n\n When you create the continuous aggregate, it refreshes by default.\n\n1. Set a refresh policy to update the continuous aggregate every hour,\n if there is new data available in the hypertable for the last two hours:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('one_hour_candle',\n start_offset => INTERVAL '3 hours',\n end_offset => INTERVAL '1 hour',\n schedule_interval => INTERVAL '1 hour');\n ```\n\n## Query the continuous aggregate\n\nWhen you have your continuous aggregate set up, you can query it to get the\nOHLCV values.\n\n### Querying the continuous aggregate\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the Twelve Data\n stocks dataset.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all `AAPL` OHLCV data for the\n past 5 hours, by time bucket:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT * FROM one_hour_candle\n WHERE symbol = 'AAPL' AND bucket >= NOW() - INTERVAL '5 hours'\n ORDER BY bucket;\n ```\n\n The result of the query looks like this:\n\n ```sql\n bucket | symbol | open | high | low | close | day_volume\n ------------------------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+------------\n 2023-05-30 08:00:00+00 | AAPL | 176.31 | 176.31 | 176 | 176.01 |\n 2023-05-30 08:01:00+00 | AAPL | 176.27 | 176.27 | 176.02 | 176.2 |\n 2023-05-30 08:06:00+00 | AAPL | 176.03 | 176.04 | 175.95 | 176 |\n 2023-05-30 08:07:00+00 | AAPL | 175.95 | 176 | 175.82 | 175.91 |\n 2023-05-30 08:08:00+00 | AAPL | 175.92 | 176.02 | 175.8 | 176.02 |\n 2023-05-30 08:09:00+00 | AAPL | 176.02 | 176.02 | 175.9 | 175.98 |\n 2023-05-30 08:10:00+00 | AAPL | 175.98 | 175.98 | 175.94 | 175.94 |\n 2023-05-30 08:11:00+00 | AAPL | 175.94 | 175.94 | 175.91 | 175.91 |\n 2023-05-30 08:12:00+00 | AAPL | 175.9 | 175.94 | 175.9 | 175.94 |\n ```\n\n## Graph OHLCV data\n\nWhen you have extracted the raw OHLCV data, you can use it to graph the result\nin a candlestick chart, using Grafana. To do this, you need to have Grafana set\nup to connect to your self-hosted TimescaleDB instance.\n\n### Graphing OHLCV data\n\n1.

It also includes a separate\ntables of payment types and rates, in a regular Postgres table named\n`payment_types`, and `rates`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nTo follow the steps on this page:\n\n* Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the Real-time analytics capability.\n\n You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also\n works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb].\n\n## Optimize time-series data in hypertables\n\nTime-series data represents how a system, process, or behavior changes over time. [Hypertables][hypertables-section]\nare Postgres tables that help you improve insert and query performance by automatically partitioning your data by\ntime. Each hypertable is made up of child tables called chunks. Each chunk is assigned a range of time, and only\ncontains data from that range.\n\nHypertables exist alongside regular Postgres tables. You interact with hypertables and regular Postgres tables in the\nsame way. You use regular Postgres tables for relational data.\n\n1. **Create a hypertable to store the taxi trip data**\n\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE \"rides\"(\n vendor_id TEXT,\n pickup_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n dropoff_datetime TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n passenger_count NUMERIC,\n trip_distance NUMERIC,\n pickup_longitude NUMERIC,\n pickup_latitude NUMERIC,\n rate_code INTEGER,\n dropoff_longitude NUMERIC,\n dropoff_latitude NUMERIC,\n payment_type INTEGER,\n fare_amount NUMERIC,\n extra NUMERIC,\n mta_tax NUMERIC,\n tip_amount NUMERIC,\n tolls_amount NUMERIC,\n improvement_surcharge NUMERIC,\n total_amount NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='pickup_datetime',\n tsdb.create_default_indexes=false\n );\n ```\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n1. **Add another dimension to partition your hypertable more efficiently**\n\n ```sql\n SELECT add_dimension('rides', by_hash('payment_type', 2));\n ```\n\n1. **Create an index to support efficient queries**\n\n Index by vendor, rate code, and passenger count:\n ```sql\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (vendor_id, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (rate_code, pickup_datetime DESC);\n CREATE INDEX ON rides (passenger_count, pickup_datetime DESC);\n ```\n\n## Create standard Postgres tables for relational data\n\nWhen you have other relational data that enhances your time-series data, you can\ncreate standard Postgres tables just as you would normally. For this dataset,\nthere are two other tables of data, called `payment_types` and `rates`.\n\n1. **Add a relational table to store the payment types data**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"payment_types\"(\n payment_type INTEGER,\n description TEXT\n );\n INSERT INTO payment_types(payment_type, description) VALUES\n (1, 'credit card'),\n (2, 'cash'),\n (3, 'no charge'),\n (4, 'dispute'),\n (5, 'unknown'),\n (6, 'voided trip');\n ```\n\n1. **Add a relational table to store the rates data**\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"rates\"(\n rate_code INTEGER,\n description TEXT\n );\n INSERT INTO rates(rate_code, description) VALUES\n (1, 'standard rate'),\n (2, 'JFK'),\n (3, 'Newark'),\n (4, 'Nassau or Westchester'),\n (5, 'negotiated fare'),\n (6, 'group ride');\n ```\n\nYou can confirm that the scripts were successful by running the `\\dt` command in\nthe `psql` command line. You should see this:\n\n```sql\n List of relations\n Schema | Name | Type | Owner\n--------+---------------+-------+----------\n public | payment_types | table | tsdbadmin\n public | rates | table | tsdbadmin\n public | rides | table | tsdbadmin\n(3 rows)\n```\n\n## Load trip data\n\nWhen you have your database set up, you can load the taxi trip data into the\n`rides` hypertable.\n\n\nThis is a large dataset, so it might take a long time, depending on your network\nconnection.\n\n\n1. Download the dataset:\n\n\n [nyc_data.tar.gz](https://assets.timescale.com/docs/downloads/nyc_data.tar.gz)\n\n\n1. Use your file manager to decompress the downloaded dataset, and take a note\n of the path to the `nyc_data_rides.csv` file.\n\n1. At the psql prompt, copy the data from the `nyc_data_rides.csv` file into\n your hypertable. Make sure you point to the correct path, if it is not in\n your current working directory:\n\n ```sql\n \\COPY rides FROM nyc_data_rides.csv CSV;\n ```\n\nYou can check that the data has been copied successfully with this command:\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM rides LIMIT 5;\n```\n\nYou should get five records that look like this:\n\n```sql\n-[ RECORD 1 ]---------+--------------------\nvendor_id | 1\npickup_datetime | 2016-01-01 00:00:01\ndropoff_datetime | 2016-01-01 00:11:55\npassenger_count | 1\ntrip_distance | 1.20\npickup_longitude | -73.979423522949219\npickup_latitude | 40.744613647460938\nrate_code | 1\ndropoff_longitude | -73.992034912109375\ndropoff_latitude | 40.753944396972656\npayment_type | 2\nfare_amount | 9\nextra | 0.5\nmta_tax | 0.5\ntip_amount | 0\ntolls_amount | 0\nimprovement_surcharge | 0.3\ntotal_amount | 10.3\n```\n\n## Connect Grafana to Tiger Cloud\n\nTo visualize the results of your queries, enable Grafana to read the data in your service:\n\n1. **Log in to Grafana**\n\n In your browser, log in to either:\n - Self-hosted Grafana: at `http://localhost:3000/`.

This tutorial uses historical\ndata from New York's yellow taxi network, provided by the New York City Taxi and\nLimousine Commission [NYC TLC][nyc-tlc]. The NYC TLC tracks over 200,000\nvehicles making about 1 million trips each day. Because nearly all of this data\nis time-series data, proper analysis requires a purpose-built time-series\ndatabase, like Timescale.\n\nIn the [beginner NYC taxis tutorial][beginner-fleet], you looked at\nconstructing queries that looked at how many rides were taken, and when. The NYC\ntaxi cab dataset also contains information about where each ride was picked up.\nThis is geospatial data, and you can use a Postgres extension called PostGIS\nto examine where rides are originating from. Additionally, you can visualize\nthe data in Grafana, by overlaying it on a map.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have:\n\n* Signed up for a [free Tiger Data account][cloud-install].\n* [](#) If you want to graph your queries, signed up for a\n [Grafana account][grafana-setup].\n\n## Steps in this tutorial\n\nThis tutorial covers:\n\n1. [Setting up your dataset][dataset-nyc]: Set up and connect to a Timescale\n service, and load data into your database using `psql`.\n1. [Querying your dataset][query-nyc]: Analyze a dataset containing NYC taxi\n trip data using Tiger Cloud and Postgres, and plot the results in Grafana.\n\n## About querying data with Timescale\n\nThis tutorial uses the [NYC taxi data][nyc-tlc] to show you how to construct\nqueries for geospatial time-series data. The analysis you do in this tutorial is\nsimilar to the kind of analysis civic organizations do to plan\nnew roads and public services.\n\nIt starts by teaching you how to set up and connect to a Tiger Cloud service,\ncreate tables, and load data into the tables using `psql`. If you have already\ncompleted the [first NYC taxis tutorial][beginner-fleet], then you already\nhave the dataset loaded, and you can skip [straight to the queries][plot-nyc].\n\nYou then learn how to conduct analysis and monitoring on your dataset. It walks\nyou through using Postgres queries with the PostGIS extension to obtain\ninformation, and plotting the results in Grafana.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/tutorials/nyc-taxi-geospatial/plot-nyc/ =====\n\n# Plot geospatial time-series data tutorial - query the data\n\nWhen you have your dataset loaded, you can start constructing some queries to\ndiscover what your data tells you. In this section, you learn how to combine the\ndata in the NYC taxi dataset with geospatial data from [PostGIS][postgis], to\nanswer these questions:\n\n* [How many rides on New Year's Day 2016 originated from Times Square?](#how-many-rides-on-new-years-day-2016-originated-from-times-square)\n* [Which rides traveled more than 5 miles in Manhattan?](#which-rides-traveled-more-than-5-miles-in-manhattan).\n\n## Set up your dataset for PostGIS\n\nTo answer these geospatial questions, you need the ride count data from the NYC\ntaxi dataset, but you also need some geospatial data to work out which trips\noriginated where. TimescaleDB is compatible with all other Postgres extensions,\nso you can use the [PostGIS][postgis] extension to slice the data by time and\nlocation.\n\nWith the extension loaded, you alter your hypertable so it's ready for geospatial\nqueries. The `rides` table contains columns for pickup latitude and longitude,\nbut it needs to be converted into geometry coordinates so that it works well\nwith PostGIS.\n\n### Setting up your dataset for PostGIS\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, add the PostGIS extension:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE EXTENSION postgis;\n ```\n\n You can check that PostGIS is installed properly by checking that it appears\n in the extension list when you run the `\\dx` command.\n1. Alter the hypertable to add geometry columns for ride pick up and drop off\n locations:\n\n ```sql\n ALTER TABLE rides ADD COLUMN pickup_geom geometry(POINT,2163);\n ALTER TABLE rides ADD COLUMN dropoff_geom geometry(POINT,2163);\n ```\n\n1. Convert the latitude and longitude points into geometry coordinates, so that\n they work well with PostGIS. This could take a while, as it needs to update\n all the data in both columns:\n\n ```sql\n UPDATE rides SET pickup_geom = ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(pickup_longitude,pickup_latitude),4326),2163),\n dropoff_geom = ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(dropoff_longitude,dropoff_latitude),4326),2163);\n ```\n\n## How many rides on New Year's Day 2016 originated from Times Square?\n\nWhen you have your database set up for PostGIS data, you can construct a query\nto return the number of rides on New Year's Day that originated in Times Square,\nin 30-minute buckets.\n\n### Finding how many rides on New Year's Day 2016 originated from Times Square\n\n\nTimes Square is located at (40.7589,-73.9851).\n\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n1. At the psql prompt, use this query to select all rides taken in the first\n day of January 2016 that picked up within 400m of Times Square, and return a\n count of rides for each 30 minute interval:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT time_bucket('30 minutes', pickup_datetime) AS thirty_min,\n COUNT(*) AS near_times_sq\n FROM rides\n WHERE ST_Distance(pickup_geom, ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(-73.9851,40.7589),4326),2163)) < 400\n AND pickup_datetime < '2016-01-01 14:00'\n GROUP BY thirty_min\n ORDER BY thirty_min;\n ```\n\n1. The data you get back looks a bit like this:\n\n ```sql\n thirty_min | near_times_sq\n ---------------------+---------------\n 2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 74\n 2016-01-01 00:30:00 | 102\n 2016-01-01 01:00:00 | 120\n 2016-01-01 01:30:00 | 98\n 2016-01-01 02:00:00 | 112\n ```\n\n## Which rides traveled more than 5 miles in Manhattan?\n\nThis query is especially well suited to plot on a map. It looks at\nrides that were longer than 5 miles, within the city of Manhattan.\n\nIn this query, you want to return rides longer than 5 miles, but also include\nthe distance, so that you can visualize longer distances with different visual\ntreatments. The query also includes a `WHERE` clause to apply a geospatial\nboundary, looking for trips within 2 km of Times Square. Finally, in the\n`GROUP BY` clause, supply the `trip_distance` and location variables so that\nGrafana can plot the data properly.\n\n### Finding rides that traveled more than 5 miles in Manhattan\n\n1. Connect to the Tiger Cloud service that contains the NYC taxi dataset.\n1.

These can\nalso be set within the `postgresql.conf` file or as command-line parameters\nwhen starting Postgres.\n\n## Query Planning and Execution\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_chunkwise_aggregation (bool)`\nIf enabled, aggregations are converted into partial aggregations during query\nplanning. The first part of the aggregation is executed on a per-chunk basis.\nThen, these partial results are combined and finalized. Splitting aggregations\ndecreases the size of the created hash tables and increases data locality, which\nspeeds up queries.\n\n### `timescaledb.vectorized_aggregation (bool)`\nEnables or disables the vectorized optimizations in the query executor. For\nexample, the `sum()` aggregation function on compressed chunks can be optimized\nin this way.\n\n### `timescaledb.enable_merge_on_cagg_refresh (bool)`\n\nSet to `ON` to dramatically decrease the amount of data written on a continuous aggregate\nin the presence of a small number of changes, reduce the i/o cost of refreshing a\n[continuous aggregate][continuous-aggregates], and generate fewer Write-Ahead Logs (WAL). Only works for continuous aggregates that don't have compression enabled.\n\nPlease refer to the [Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameters][gucs] for a complete list.\n\n## Policies\n\n### `timescaledb.max_background_workers (int)`\n\nMax background worker processes allocated to TimescaleDB. Set to at least 1 +\nthe number of databases loaded with the TimescaleDB extension in a Postgres instance. Default value is 16.\n\n## Tiger Cloud service tuning\n\n### `timescaledb.disable_load (bool)`\nDisable the loading of the actual extension\n\n## Administration\n\n### `timescaledb.restoring (bool)`\n\nSet TimescaleDB in restoring mode. It is disabled by default.\n\n### `timescaledb.license (string)`\n\nChange access to features based on the TimescaleDB license in use. For example,\nsetting `timescaledb.license` to `apache` limits TimescaleDB to features that\nare implemented under the Apache 2 license. The default value is `timescale`,\nwhich allows access to all features.\n\n### `timescaledb.telemetry_level (enum)`\n\nTelemetry settings level. Level used to determine which telemetry to\nsend. Can be set to `off` or `basic`. Defaults to `basic`.\n\n### `timescaledb.last_tuned (string)`\n\nRecords last time `timescaledb-tune` ran.\n\n### `timescaledb.last_tuned_version (string)`\n\nVersion of `timescaledb-tune` used to tune when it runs.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/configuration/gucs/ =====\n\n# Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameters\n\n\n\nYou use the following Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameters to optimize the behavior of your Tiger Cloud service.\n\nThe namespace of each GUC is `timescaledb`.\nTo set a GUC you specify `.`. For example:\n\n```sql\nSET timescaledb.enable_tiered_reads = true;\n```\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Description |\n| -- | -- | -- | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `GUC_CAGG_HIGH_WORK_MEM_NAME` | `INTEGER` | `GUC_CAGG_HIGH_WORK_MEM_VALUE` | The high working memory limit for the continuous aggregate invalidation processing.

Default is TRUE. |\n| `if_not_exists` | BOOLEAN | Boolean whether to print warning if table already converted to hypertable or raise exception. Default is FALSE. |\n| `partitioning_func` | REGCLASS | The function to use for calculating a value's partition.|\n| `migrate_data` | BOOLEAN | Set to TRUE to migrate any existing data from the `relation` table to chunks in the new hypertable.

Read [the best practices][best-practices] before changing the default. |\n| `data_nodes` | ARRAY | The set of data nodes used for the distributed hypertable. If not present, defaults to all data nodes known by the access node (the node on which the distributed hypertable is created). |\n\n## Returns\n\n|Column|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n| `hypertable_id` | INTEGER | ID of the hypertable in TimescaleDB. |\n| `schema_name` | TEXT | Schema name of the table converted to hypertable. |\n| `table_name` | TEXT | Table name of the table converted to hypertable. |\n| `created` | BOOLEAN | TRUE if the hypertable was created, FALSE when `if_not_exists` is TRUE and no hypertable was created. |\n\n## Sample usage\n\nCreate a table `conditions` which is partitioned across data\nnodes by the 'location' column. Note that the number of space\npartitions is automatically equal to the number of data nodes assigned\nto this hypertable (all configured data nodes in this case, as\n`data_nodes` is not specified).\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location');\n```\n\nCreate a table `conditions` using a specific set of data nodes.\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location',\n data_nodes => '{ \"data_node_1\", \"data_node_2\", \"data_node_4\", \"data_node_7\" }');\n```\n\n### Best practices\n\n* **Hash partitions**: Best practice for distributed hypertables is to enable [hash partitions](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/31996/hash-partitioning).\n With hash partitions, incoming data is divided between the data nodes. Without hash partition, all\n data for each time slice is written to a single data node.\n\n* **Time intervals**: Follow the guidelines for `chunk_time_interval` defined in [`create_hypertable`]\n [create-hypertable-old].\n\n When you enable hash partitioning, the hypertable is evenly distributed across the data nodes. This\n means you can set a larger time interval. For example, you ingest 10 GB of data per day shared over\n five data nodes, each node has 64 GB of memory. If this is the only table being served by these data nodes, use a time interval of 1 week:\n\n ```\n 7 days * 10 GB 70\n -------------------- == --- ~= 22% of main memory used for the most recent chunks\n 5 data nodes * 64 GB 320\n ```\n\n If you do not enable hash partitioning, use the same `chunk_time_interval` settings as a non-distributed\n instance. This is because all incoming data is handled by a single node.\n\n* **Replication factor**: `replication_factor` defines the number of data nodes a newly created chunk is\n replicated in. For example, when you set `replication_factor` to `3`, each chunk exists on 3 separate\n data nodes. Rows written to a chunk are inserted into all data notes in a two-phase commit protocol.\n\n If a data node fails or is removed, no data is lost. Writes succeed on the other data nodes. However, the\n chunks on the lost data node are now under-replicated. When the failed data node becomes available, rebalance the chunks with a call to [copy_chunk][copy_chunk].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/distributed-hypertables/attach_data_node/ =====\n\n# attach_data_node()\n\n\n[Multi-node support is sunsetted][multi-node-deprecation].\n\nTimescaleDB v2.13 is the last release that includes multi-node support for Postgres\nversions 13, 14, and 15.\n\n\nAttach a data node to a hypertable.

For space-based dimension, the metadata\nreturned specifies the number of `num_partitions`.\n\nIf the hypertable uses time data types, the `time_interval` column is defined.\nAlternatively, if the hypertable uses integer data types, the `integer_interval`\nand `integer_now_func` columns are defined.\n\n## Samples\n\nGet information about the dimensions of hypertables.\n\n```sql\n-- Create a range and hash partitioned hypertable\nCREATE TABLE dist_table(time timestamptz, device int, temp float);\nSELECT create_hypertable('dist_table', by_range('time', INTERVAL '7 days'));\nSELECT add_dimension('dist_table', by_hash('device', 3));\n\nSELECT * from timescaledb_information.dimensions\n ORDER BY hypertable_name, dimension_number;\n\n-[ RECORD 1 ]-----+-------------------------\nhypertable_schema | public\nhypertable_name | dist_table\ndimension_number | 1\ncolumn_name | time\ncolumn_type | timestamp with time zone\ndimension_type | Time\ntime_interval | 7 days\ninteger_interval |\ninteger_now_func |\nnum_partitions |\n-[ RECORD 2 ]-----+-------------------------\nhypertable_schema | public\nhypertable_name | dist_table\ndimension_number | 2\ncolumn_name | device\ncolumn_type | integer\ndimension_type | Space\ntime_interval |\ninteger_interval |\ninteger_now_func |\nnum_partitions | 2\n```\n\n\n\nThe `by_range` and `by_hash` dimension builders are an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\nGet information about dimensions of a hypertable that has two time-based dimensions.\n\n``` sql\nCREATE TABLE hyper_2dim (a_col date, b_col timestamp, c_col integer);\nSELECT table_name from create_hypertable('hyper_2dim', by_range('a_col'));\nSELECT add_dimension('hyper_2dim', by_range('b_col', INTERVAL '7 days'));\n\nSELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.dimensions WHERE hypertable_name = 'hyper_2dim';\n\n-[ RECORD 1 ]-----+----------------------------\nhypertable_schema | public\nhypertable_name | hyper_2dim\ndimension_number | 1\ncolumn_name | a_col\ncolumn_type | date\ndimension_type | Time\ntime_interval | 7 days\ninteger_interval |\ninteger_now_func |\nnum_partitions |\n-[ RECORD 2 ]-----+----------------------------\nhypertable_schema | public\nhypertable_name | hyper_2dim\ndimension_number | 2\ncolumn_name | b_col\ncolumn_type | timestamp without time zone\ndimension_type | Time\ntime_interval | 7 days\ninteger_interval |\ninteger_now_func |\nnum_partitions |\n```\n\n\n## Available columns\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`hypertable_schema`|TEXT|Schema name of the hypertable|\n|`hypertable_name`|TEXT|Table name of the hypertable|\n|`dimension_number`|BIGINT|Dimension number of the hypertable, starting from 1|\n|`column_name`|TEXT|Name of the column used to create this dimension|\n|`column_type`|REGTYPE|Type of the column used to create this dimension|\n|`dimension_type`|TEXT|Is this a time based or space based dimension|\n|`time_interval`|INTERVAL|Time interval for primary dimension if the column type is a time datatype|\n|`integer_interval`|BIGINT|Integer interval for primary dimension if the column type is an integer datatype|\n|`integer_now_func`|TEXT|`integer_now`` function for primary dimension if the column type is an integer datatype|\n|`num_partitions`|SMALLINT|Number of partitions for the dimension|\n\n\n\nThe `time_interval` and `integer_interval` columns are not applicable for space\nbased dimensions.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/informational-views/job_errors/ =====\n\n# timescaledb_information.job_errors\n\nShows information about runtime errors encountered by jobs run by the automation framework.\nThis includes custom jobs and jobs run by policies\ncreated to manage data retention, continuous aggregates, columnstore, and\nother automation policies.

This ensures that the job does not miss scheduled executions.\n\nThere is a distinction between runtime failures that do not cause the job to crash and job crashes.\nIn the event of a job crash, the next start calculation follows the same formula,\nbut it is always at least 5 minutes after the job's last finish, to give an operator enough time to disable it before another crash.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/jobs-automation/delete_job/ =====\n\n# delete_job()\n\nDelete a job registered with the automation framework.\nThis works for jobs as well as policies.\n\nIf the job is currently running, the process is terminated.\n\n## Samples\n\nDelete the job with the job id 1000:\n\n```sql\nSELECT delete_job(1000);\n```\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n|`job_id`| INTEGER | TimescaleDB background job id |\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/jobs-automation/run_job/ =====\n\n# run_job()\n\nRun a previously registered job in the current session.\nThis works for job as well as policies.\nSince `run_job` is implemented as stored procedure it cannot be executed\ninside a SELECT query but has to be executed with `CALL`.\n\n\n\nAny background worker job can be run in the foreground when executed with\n`run_job`.

All actions that work on a\nPostgres table, work on hypertables. For example, [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore] and [SELECT][sql-select]. By default,\na hypertable is partitioned on the time dimension. To add secondary dimensions to a hypertable, call\n[add_dimension][add-dimension]. To convert an existing relational table into a hypertable, call\n[create_hypertable][create_hypertable].\n\nAs the data cools and becomes more suited for analytics, [add a columnstore policy][add_columnstore_policy] so your data\nis automatically converted to the columnstore after a specific time interval. This columnar format enables fast\nscanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical workloads while also saving significant storage space.\nIn the columnstore conversion, hypertable chunks are compressed by up to 98%, and organized for efficient,\nlarge-scale queries. This columnar format enables fast scanning and aggregation, optimizing performance for analytical\nworkloads. You can also manually [convert chunks][convert_to_columnstore] in a hypertable to the columnstore.\n\nHypertable to hypertable foreign keys are not allowed, all other combinations are permitted.\n\nThe [columnstore][hypercore] settings are applied on a per-chunk basis. You can change the settings by calling [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore] without first converting the entire hypertable back to the [rowstore][hypercore]. The new settings apply only to the chunks that have not yet been converted to columnstore, the existing chunks in the columnstore do not change. Similarly, if you [remove an existing columnstore policy][remove_columnstore_policy] and then [add a new one][add_columnstore_policy], the new policy applies only to the unconverted chunks. This means that chunks with different columnstore settings can co-exist in the same hypertable.\n\nTimescaleDB calculates default columnstore settings for each chunk when it is created. These settings apply to each chunk, and not the entire hypertable. To explicitly disable the defaults, set a setting to an empty string.\n\n`CREATE TABLE` extends the standard Postgres [CREATE TABLE][pg-create-table]. This page explains the features and\narguments specific to TimescaleDB.\n\nSince [TimescaleDB v2.20.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.20.0)\n\n## Samples\n\n- **Create a hypertable partitioned on the time dimension and enable columnstore**:\n\n 1. Create the hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE crypto_ticks (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ,\n symbol TEXT,\n price DOUBLE PRECISION,\n day_volume NUMERIC\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.segmentby='symbol',\n tsdb.orderby='time DESC'\n );\n ```\n\n 1. Enable hypercore by adding a columnstore policy:\n\n ```sql\n CALL add_columnstore_policy('crypto_ticks', after => INTERVAL '1d');\n ```\n\n- **Create a hypertable partitioned on the time with fewer chunks based on time interval**:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS hypertable_control_chunk_interval(\n time int4 NOT NULL,\n device text,\n value float\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.chunk_interval=3453\n );\n ```\n\n- **Create a hypertable partitioned using [UUIDv7][uuidv7_functions]**:\n\n \n\n\n\n ```sql\n -- For optimal compression on the ID column, first enable UUIDv7 compression\n SET enable_uuid_compression=true;\n -- Then create your table\n CREATE TABLE events (\n id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT generate_uuidv7(),\n payload jsonb\n ) WITH (tsdb.hypertable, tsdb.partition_column = 'id');\n ```\n\n\n\n\n ```sql\n -- For optimal compression on the ID column, first enable UUIDv7 compression\n SET enable_uuid_compression=true;\n -- Then create your table\n CREATE TABLE events (\n id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuidv7(),\n payload jsonb\n ) WITH (tsdb.hypertable, tsdb.partition_column = 'id');\n ```\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n- **Enable data compression during ingestion**:\n\n When you set `timescaledb.enable_direct_compress_copy` your data gets compressed in memory during ingestion with `COPY` statements.\nBy writing the compressed batches immediately in the columnstore, the IO footprint is significantly lower.\nAlso, the [columnstore policy][add_columnstore_policy] you set is less important, `INSERT` already produces compressed chunks.\n\n\n\nPlease note that this feature is a **tech preview** and not production-ready.\nUsing this feature could lead to regressed query performance and/or storage ratio, if the ingested batches are not\ncorrectly ordered or are of too high cardinality.\n\n\n\nTo enable in-memory data compression during ingestion:\n\n```sql\nSET timescaledb.enable_direct_compress_copy=on;\n```\n\n**Important facts**\n- High cardinality use cases do not produce good batches and lead to degreaded query performance.\n- The columnstore is optimized to store 1000 records per batch, which is the optimal format for ingestion per segment by.\n- WAL records are written for the compressed batches rather than the individual tuples.\n- Currently only `COPY` is support, `INSERT` will eventually follow.\n- Best results are achieved for batch ingestion with 1000 records or more, upper boundary is 10.000 records.\n- Continous Aggregates are **not** supported at the moment.\n\n 1. Create a hypertable:\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE t(time timestamptz, device text, value float) WITH (tsdb.hypertable,tsdb.partition_column='time');\n ```\n 1. Copy data into the hypertable:\n You achieve the highest insert rate using binary format. CSV and text format are also supported.\n ```sql\n COPY t FROM '/tmp/t.binary' WITH (format binary);\n ```\n\n- **Create a Postgres relational table**:\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS relational_table(\n device text,\n value float\n );\n ```\n\n\n## Arguments\n\nThe syntax is:\n\n``` sql\nCREATE TABLE (\n -- Standard Postgres syntax for CREATE TABLE\n)\nWITH (\n tsdb.hypertable = true | false\n tsdb.partition_column = ' ',\n tsdb.chunk_interval = ''\n tsdb.create_default_indexes = true | false\n tsdb.associated_schema = '',\n tsdb.associated_table_prefix = ''\n tsdb.orderby = ' [ASC | DESC] [ NULLS { FIRST | LAST } ] [, ...]',\n tsdb.segmentby = ' [, ...]',\n tsdb.sparse_index = '(), index()'\n)\n```\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|--------------------------------|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `tsdb.hypertable` |BOOLEAN| `true` | ✖ | Create a new [hypertable][hypertable-docs] for time-series data rather than a standard Postgres relational table. |\n| `tsdb.partition_column` |TEXT| `true` | ✖ | Set the time column to automatically partition your time-series data by. |\n| `tsdb.chunk_interval` |TEXT| `7 days` | ✖ | Change this to better suit your needs.

To create a new hypertable, best practice is to call CREATE TABLE.\n\nA hypertable is a Postgres table that automatically partitions your data by time. A dimension defines the way your\ndata is partitioned. All actions work on the resulting hypertable. For example, `ALTER TABLE`, and `SELECT`.\n\nIf the table to convert already contains data, set [migrate_data][migrate-data] to `TRUE`.\nHowever, this may take a long time and there are limitations when the table contains foreign\nkey constraints.\n\nYou cannot run `create_hypertable()` on a table that is already partitioned using\n[declarative partitioning][declarative-partitioning] or [inheritance][inheritance]. The time column must be defined\nas `NOT NULL`. If this is not already specified on table creation, `create_hypertable` automatically adds\nthis constraint on the table when it is executed.\n\nThis page describes the generalized hypertable API introduced in TimescaleDB v2.13.\nThe [old interface for `create_hypertable` is also available](https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/latest/hypertable/create_hypertable_old/).\n\n## Samples\n\nBefore you call `create_hypertable`, you create a standard Postgres relational table. For example:\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location text NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n);\n```\n\nThe following examples show you how to create a hypertable from an existing table or a function:\n\n- [Time partition a hypertable by time range][sample-time-range]\n- [Time partition a hypertable using composite columns and immutable functions][sample-composite-columns]\n- [Time partition a hypertable using ISO formatting][sample-iso-formatting]\n- [Time partition a hypertable using UUIDv7][sample-uuidv7]\n\n\n### Time partition a hypertable by time range\n\nThe following examples show different ways to create a hypertable:\n\n- Convert with range partitioning on the `time` column:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('conditions', by_range('time'));\n ```\n\n- Convert with a [set_chunk_time_interval][set_chunk_time_interval] of 24 hours:\n Either:\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('conditions', by_range('time', 86400000000));\n ```\n or:\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('conditions', by_range('time', INTERVAL '1 day'));\n ```\n\n- with range partitioning on the `time` column, do not raise a warning if `conditions` is already a hypertable:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('conditions', by_range('time'), if_not_exists => TRUE);\n ```\n\n\n\nIf you call `SELECT * FROM create_hypertable(...)` the return value is formatted as a table with column headings.\n\n\n\n\n### Time partition a hypertable using composite columns and immutable functions\n\nThe following example shows how to time partition the `measurements` relational table on a composite\ncolumn type using a range partitioning function.\n\n1. Create the report type, then an immutable function that converts the column value into a supported column value:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TYPE report AS (reported timestamp with time zone, contents jsonb);\n\n CREATE FUNCTION report_reported(report)\n RETURNS timestamptz\n LANGUAGE SQL\n IMMUTABLE AS\n 'SELECT $1.reported';\n ```\n\n1. Create the hypertable using the immutable function:\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable('measurements', by_range('report', partition_func => 'report_reported'));\n ```\n\n### Time partition a hypertable using ISO formatting\n\nThe following example shows how to time partition the `events` table on a `jsonb` (`event`) column\ntype, which has a top level `started` key that contains an ISO 8601 formatted timestamp:\n\n```sql\nCREATE FUNCTION event_started(jsonb)\n RETURNS timestamptz\n LANGUAGE SQL\n IMMUTABLE AS\n $func$SELECT ($1->>'started')::timestamptz$func$;\n\nSELECT create_hypertable('events', by_range('event', partition_func => 'event_started'));\n```\n\n### Time partition a hypertable using [UUIDv7][uuidv7_functions]:\n\n1. Create a table with a UUIDv7 column:\n \n\n\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE events (\n id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT generate_uuidv7(),\n payload jsonb\n );\n ```\n\n\n\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE events (\n id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuidv7(),\n payload jsonb\n );\n ```\n\n\n\n \n\n\n1. Partition the table based on the timestamps embedded within the UUID values:\n\n ```sql\n SELECT create_hypertable(\n 'events',\n by_range('id', INTERVAL '1 month')\n );\n ```\n\nSubsequent data insertion and queries automatically leverage the UUIDv7-based partitioning.\n\n## Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-------------|------------------|---------|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|`create_default_indexes`| `BOOLEAN` | `TRUE` | ✖ | Create default indexes on time/partitioning columns. |\n|`dimension`| [DIMENSION_INFO][dimension-info] | - | ✔ | To create a `_timescaledb_internal.dimension_info` instance to partition a hypertable, you call [`by_range`][by-range] and [`by_hash`][by-hash]. |\n|`if_not_exists` | `BOOLEAN` | `FALSE` | ✖ | Set to `TRUE` to print a warning if `relation` is already a hypertable. By default, an exception is raised. |\n|`migrate_data`| `BOOLEAN` | `FALSE` | ✖ | Set to `TRUE` to migrate any existing data in `relation` in to chunks in the new hypertable. Depending on the amount of data to be migrated, setting `migrate_data` can lock the table for a significant amount of time. If there are [foreign key constraints](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/schema-management/about-constraints/) to other tables in the data to be migrated, `create_hypertable()` can run into deadlock. A hypertable can only contain foreign keys to another hypertable. `UNIQUE` and `PRIMARY` constraints must include the partitioning key.

    Deadlock may happen when concurrent transactions simultaneously try to insert data into tables that are referenced in the foreign key constraints, and into the converting table itself. To avoid deadlock, manually obtain a [SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-lock.html) lock on the referenced tables before you call `create_hypertable` in the same transaction.

    If you leave `migrate_data` set to the default, non-empty tables generate an error when you call `create_hypertable`. |\n|`relation`| REGCLASS | - | ✔ | Identifier of the table to convert to a hypertable. |\n\n\n### Dimension info\n\nTo create a `_timescaledb_internal.dimension_info` instance, you call [add_dimension][add_dimension]\nto an existing hypertable.\n\n#### Samples\n\nHypertables must always have a primary range dimension, followed by an arbitrary number of additional\ndimensions that can be either range or hash, Typically this is just one hash. For example:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_range('time'));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\n```\n\nFor incompatible data types such as `jsonb`, you can specify a function to the `partition_func` argument\nof the dimension build to extract a compatible data type. Look in the example section below.\n\n#### Custom partitioning\n\nBy default, TimescaleDB calls Postgres's internal hash function for the given type.\nYou use a custom partitioning function for value types that do not have a native Postgres hash function.\n\nYou can specify a custom partitioning function for both range and hash partitioning. A partitioning function should\ntake a `anyelement` argument as the only parameter and return a positive `integer` hash value. This hash value is\n_not_ a partition identifier, but rather the inserted value's position in the dimension's key space, which is then\ndivided across the partitions.\n\n#### by_range()\n\nCreate a by-range dimension builder. You can partition `by_range` on it's own.\n\n##### Samples\n\n- Partition on time using `CREATE TABLE`\n\n The simplest usage is to partition on a time column:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n This is the default partition, you do not need to add it explicitly.\n\n- Extract time from a non-time column using `create_hypertable`\n\n If you have a table with a non-time column containing the time, such as\n a JSON column, add a partition function to extract the time:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE my_table (\n metric_id serial not null,\n data jsonb,\n );\n\n CREATE FUNCTION get_time(jsonb) RETURNS timestamptz AS $$\n SELECT ($1->>'time')::timestamptz\n $$ LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE;\n\n SELECT create_hypertable('my_table', by_range('data', '1 day', 'get_time'));\n ```\n\n##### Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|----------|---------|-|-|\n|`column_name`| `NAME` | - |✔|Name of column to partition on.|\n|`partition_func`| `REGPROC` | - |✖|The function to use for calculating the partition of a value.|\n|`partition_interval`|`ANYELEMENT` | - |✖|Interval to partition column on.|\n\nIf the column to be partitioned is a:\n\n- `TIMESTAMP`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, or `DATE`: specify `partition_interval` either as an `INTERVAL` type\n or an integer value in *microseconds*.\n\n- Another integer type: specify `partition_interval` as an integer that reflects the column's\n underlying semantics. For example, if this column is in UNIX time, specify `partition_interval` in milliseconds.\n\nThe partition type and default value depending on column type is:\n\n| Column Type | Partition Type | Default value |\n|------------------------------|------------------|---------------|\n| `TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIMEZONE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `DATE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `SMALLINT` | SMALLINT | 10000 |\n| `INT` | INT | 100000 |\n| `BIGINT` | BIGINT | 1000000 |\n\n\n#### by_hash()\n\nThe main purpose of hash partitioning is to enable parallelization across multiple disks within the same time interval.\nEvery distinct item in hash partitioning is hashed to one of *N* buckets. By default, TimescaleDB uses flexible range\nintervals to manage chunk sizes.\n\n### Parallelizing disk I/O\n\nYou use Parallel I/O in the following scenarios:\n\n- Two or more concurrent queries should be able to read from different disks in parallel.\n- A single query should be able to use query parallelization to read from multiple disks in parallel.\n\nFor the following options:\n\n- **RAID**: use a RAID setup across multiple physical disks, and expose a single logical disk to the hypertable.\n That is, using a single tablespace.\n\n Best practice is to use RAID when possible, as you do not need to manually manage tablespaces\n in the database.\n\n- **Multiple tablespaces**: for each physical disk, add a separate tablespace to the database. TimescaleDB allows you to\n add multiple tablespaces to a *single* hypertable. However, although under the hood, a hypertable's\n chunks are spread across the tablespaces associated with that hypertable.\n\n When using multiple tablespaces, a best practice is to also add a second hash-partitioned dimension to your hypertable\n and to have at least one hash partition per disk. While a single time dimension would also work, it would mean that\n the first chunk is written to one tablespace, the second to another, and so on, and thus would parallelize only if a\n query's time range exceeds a single chunk.\n\nWhen adding a hash partitioned dimension, set the number of partitions to a multiple of number of disks. For example,\nthe number of partitions P=N*Pd where N is the number of disks and Pd is the number of partitions per\ndisk. This enables you to add more disks later and move partitions to the new disk from other disks.\n\nTimescaleDB does *not* benefit from a very large number of hash\npartitions, such as the number of unique items you expect in partition\nfield. A very large number of hash partitions leads both to poorer\nper-partition load balancing (the mapping of items to partitions using\nhashing), as well as much increased planning latency for some types of\nqueries.\n\n##### Samples\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n);\n\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\n```\n\n##### Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|----------|---------|-|----------------------------------------------------------|\n|`column_name`| `NAME` | - |✔| Name of column to partition on. |\n|`partition_func`| `REGPROC` | - |✖| The function to use to calcule the partition of a value. |\n|`number_partitions`|`ANYELEMENT` | - |✔| Number of hash partitions to use for `partitioning_column`.

This\nallows you to move data to more cost-effective storage as it ages.\n\nThe `move_chunk` function acts like a combination of the\n[Postgres CLUSTER command][postgres-cluster] and\n[Postgres ALTER TABLE...SET TABLESPACE][postgres-altertable] commands. Unlike\nthese Postgres commands, however, the `move_chunk` function uses lower lock\nlevels so that the chunk and hypertable are able to be read for most of the\nprocess. This comes at a cost of slightly higher disk usage during the\noperation. For a more detailed discussion of this capability, see the\ndocumentation on [managing storage with tablespaces][manage-storage].\n\n\nYou must be logged in as a super user, such as the `postgres` user,\nto use the `move_chunk()` call.\n\n\n## Samples\n\n``` sql\nSELECT move_chunk(\n chunk => '_timescaledb_internal._hyper_1_4_chunk',\n destination_tablespace => 'tablespace_2',\n index_destination_tablespace => 'tablespace_3',\n reorder_index => 'conditions_device_id_time_idx',\n verbose => TRUE\n);\n```\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`chunk`|REGCLASS|Name of chunk to be moved|\n|`destination_tablespace`|NAME|Target tablespace for chunk being moved|\n|`index_destination_tablespace`|NAME|Target tablespace for index associated with the chunk you are moving|\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`reorder_index`|REGCLASS|The name of the index (on either the hypertable or chunk) to order by|\n|`verbose`|BOOLEAN|Setting to true displays messages about the progress of the move_chunk command.

This tracks a range of values for that column per chunk.\nUsed for chunk skipping during query optimization and applies only to the chunks created after chunk skipping is enabled.\n\nBest practice is to enable range tracking on columns that are correlated to the\npartitioning column. In other words, enable tracking on secondary columns which are\nreferenced in the `WHERE` clauses in your queries.\n\nTimescaleDB supports min/max range tracking for the `smallint`, `int`,\n`bigint`, `serial`, `bigserial`, `date`, `timestamp`, and `timestamptz` data types. The\nmin/max ranges are calculated when a chunk belonging to\nthis hypertable is compressed using the [compress_chunk][compress_chunk] function.\nThe range is stored in start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) form in the\n`chunk_column_stats` catalog table.\n\nThis way you store the min/max values for such columns in this catalog\ntable at the per-chunk level. These min/max range values do\nnot participate in partitioning of the data. These ranges are\nused for chunk skipping when the `WHERE` clause of an SQL query specifies\nranges on the column.\n\nA [DROP COLUMN](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altertable.html#SQL-ALTERTABLE-DESC-DROP-COLUMN)\non a column with statistics tracking enabled on it ends up removing all relevant entries\nfrom the catalog table.\n\nA [decompress_chunk][decompress_chunk] invocation on a compressed chunk resets its entries\nfrom the `chunk_column_stats` catalog table since now it's available for DML and the\nmin/max range values can change on any further data manipulation in the chunk.\n\nBy default, this feature is disabled. To enable chunk skipping, set `timescaledb.enable_chunk_skipping = on` in\n`postgresql.conf`. When you upgrade from a database instance that uses compression but does not support chunk\nskipping, you need to recompress the previously compressed chunks for chunk skipping to work.\n\n## Samples\n\nIn this sample, you create the `conditions` hypertable with partitioning on the `time` column. You then specify and\nenable additional columns to track ranges for.\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n);\n\nSELECT enable_chunk_skipping('conditions', 'device_id');\n```\n\nIf you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable].

Best practice is to use the new\n[`create_hypertable`][api-create-hypertable] interface.\n\n\n\nCreates a TimescaleDB hypertable from a Postgres table (replacing the latter),\npartitioned on time and with the option to partition on one or more other\ncolumns. The Postgres table cannot be an already partitioned table\n(declarative partitioning or inheritance). In case of a non-empty table, it is\npossible to migrate the data during hypertable creation using the `migrate_data`\noption, although this might take a long time and has certain limitations when\nthe table contains foreign key constraints (see below).\n\nAfter creation, all actions, such as `ALTER TABLE`, `SELECT`, etc., still work\non the resulting hypertable.\n\nFor more information about using hypertables, including chunk size partitioning,\nsee the [hypertable section][hypertable-docs].\n\n## Samples\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable with just time partitioning on column `time`:\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time');\n```\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable, setting `chunk_time_interval` to 24 hours.\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time', chunk_time_interval => 86400000000);\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time', chunk_time_interval => INTERVAL '1 day');\n```\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable.

It can also run into deadlock if foreign key constraints exist to\nother tables.\n\nWhen converting a normal SQL table to a hypertable, pay attention to how you handle\nconstraints. A hypertable can contain foreign keys to normal SQL table columns,\nbut the reverse is not allowed. UNIQUE and PRIMARY constraints must include the\npartitioning key.\n\nThe deadlock is likely to happen when concurrent transactions simultaneously try\nto insert data into tables that are referenced in the foreign key constraints\nand into the converting table itself. The deadlock can be prevented by manually\nobtaining `SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE` lock on the referenced tables before calling\n`create_hypertable` in the same transaction, see\n[Postgres documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-lock.html)\nfor the syntax.\n\n## Units\n\nThe `time` column supports the following data types:\n\n|Description|Types|\n|-|-|\n|Timestamp| TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMPTZ|\n|Date|DATE|\n|Integer|SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT|\n\n\nThe type flexibility of the 'time' column allows the use of non-time-based\nvalues as the primary chunk partitioning column, as long as those values can\nincrement.\n\n\nFor incompatible data types (for example, `jsonb`) you can specify a function to\nthe `time_partitioning_func` argument which can extract a compatible data type.\n\nThe units of `chunk_time_interval` should be set as follows:\n\n* For time columns having timestamp or DATE types, the `chunk_time_interval`\n should be specified either as an `interval` type or an integral value in\n *microseconds*.\n* For integer types, the `chunk_time_interval` **must** be set explicitly, as\n the database does not otherwise understand the semantics of what each\n integer value represents (a second, millisecond, nanosecond, etc.). So if\n your time column is the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch, and you\n wish to have each chunk cover 1 day, you should specify\n `chunk_time_interval => 86400000`.\n\nIn case of hash partitioning (in other words, if `number_partitions` is greater\nthan zero), it is possible to optionally specify a custom partitioning function.\nIf no custom partitioning function is specified, the default partitioning\nfunction is used. The default partitioning function calls Postgres's internal\nhash function for the given type, if one exists. Thus, a custom partitioning\nfunction can be used for value types that do not have a native Postgres hash\nfunction. A partitioning function should take a single `anyelement` type\nargument and return a positive `integer` hash value. Note that this hash value\nis *not* a partition ID, but rather the inserted value's position in the\ndimension's key space, which is then divided across the partitions.\n\n\nThe time column in `create_hypertable` must be defined as `NOT NULL`. If this is\nnot already specified on table creation, `create_hypertable` automatically adds\nthis constraint on the table when it is executed.\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypertable/set_chunk_time_interval/ =====\n\n# set_chunk_time_interval()\n\nSets the `chunk_time_interval` on a hypertable. The new interval is used\nwhen new chunks are created, and time intervals on existing chunks are\nnot changed.\n\n## Samples\n\nFor a TIMESTAMP column, set `chunk_time_interval` to 24 hours:\n\n```sql\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', INTERVAL '24 hours');\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', 86400000000);\n```\n\nFor a time column expressed as the number of milliseconds since the\nUNIX epoch, set `chunk_time_interval` to 24 hours:\n\n```sql\nSELECT set_chunk_time_interval('conditions', 86400000);\n```\n\n## Arguments\n\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-------------|------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|`hypertable`|REGCLASS| - | ✔ | Hypertable or continuous aggregate to update interval for. |\n|`chunk_time_interval`|See note|- | ✔ | Event time that each new chunk covers. |\n|`dimension_name`|REGCLASS|- | ✖ | The name of the time dimension to set the number of partitions for. Only use `dimension_name` when your hypertable has multiple time dimensions. |\n\nIf you change chunk time interval you may see a chunk that is smaller than the new interval. For example, if you\nhave two 7-day chunks that cover 14 days, then change `chunk_time_interval` to 3 days, you may end up with a\ntransition chunk covering one day. This happens because the start and end of the new chunk is calculated based on\ndividing the timeline by the `chunk_time_interval` starting at epoch 0. This leads to the following chunks\n[0, 3), [3, 6), [6, 9), [9, 12), [12, 15), [15, 18) and so on. The two 7-day chunks covered data up to day 14:\n[0, 7), [8, 14), so the 3-day chunk for [12, 15) is reduced to a one day chunk. The following chunk [15, 18) is\ncreated as a full 3 day chunk.\n\nThe valid types for the `chunk_time_interval` depend on the type used for the\nhypertable `time` column:\n\n|`time` column type|`chunk_time_interval` type|Time unit|\n|-|-|-|\n|TIMESTAMP|INTERVAL|days, hours, minutes, etc|\n||INTEGER or BIGINT|microseconds|\n|TIMESTAMPTZ|INTERVAL|days, hours, minutes, etc|\n||INTEGER or BIGINT|microseconds|\n|DATE|INTERVAL|days, hours, minutes, etc|\n||INTEGER or BIGINT|microseconds|\n|SMALLINT|SMALLINT|The same time unit as the `time` column|\n|INT|INT|The same time unit as the `time` column|\n|BIGINT|BIGINT|The same time unit as the `time` column|\n\nFor more information, see [hypertable partitioning][hypertable-partitioning].\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypertable/show_tablespaces/ =====\n\n# show_tablespaces()\n\nShow the tablespaces attached to a hypertable.\n\n## Samples\n\n```sql\nSELECT * FROM show_tablespaces('conditions');\n\n show_tablespaces\n------------------\n disk1\n disk2\n```\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n| `hypertable` | REGCLASS | Hypertable to show attached tablespaces for.|\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/hypertable/disable_chunk_skipping/ =====\n\n# disable_chunk_skipping()\n\nDisable range tracking for a specific column in a hypertable **in the columnstore**.\n\n## Samples\n\nIn this sample, you convert the `conditions` table to a hypertable with\npartitioning on the `time` column.

This function\nacts similarly to the [Postgres CLUSTER command][postgres-cluster] , however\nit uses lower lock levels so that, unlike with the CLUSTER command, the chunk\nand hypertable are able to be read for most of the process. It does use a bit\nmore disk space during the operation.\n\nThis command can be particularly useful when data is often queried in an order\ndifferent from that in which it was originally inserted. For example, data is\ncommonly inserted into a hypertable in loose time order (for example, many devices\nconcurrently sending their current state), but one might typically query the\nhypertable about a _specific_ device. In such cases, reordering a chunk using an\nindex on `(device_id, time)` can lead to significant performance improvement for\nthese types of queries.\n\nOne can call this function directly on individual chunks of a hypertable, but\nusing [add_reorder_policy][add_reorder_policy] is often much more convenient.\n\n## Samples\n\nReorder a chunk on an index:\n\n```sql\nSELECT reorder_chunk('_timescaledb_internal._hyper_1_10_chunk', '_timescaledb_internal.conditions_device_id_time_idx');\n```\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n| `chunk` | REGCLASS | Name of the chunk to reorder. |\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|---|---|---|\n| `index` | REGCLASS | The name of the index (on either the hypertable or chunk) to order by.|\n| `verbose` | BOOLEAN | Setting to true displays messages about the progress of the reorder command.

You can only execute this `add_dimension` command\non an empty hypertable. To convert a normal table to a hypertable, call [create hypertable][create_hypertable].\n\nThe column you select as the dimension can use either:\n\n- [Interval partitions][range-partition]: for example, for a second range partition.\n- [hash partitions][hash-partition]: to enable parallelization across multiple disks.\n\n\n\nBest practice is to not use additional dimensions. However, Tiger Cloud transparently provides seamless storage\nscaling, both in terms of storage capacity and available storage IOPS/bandwidth.\n\n\n\nThis page describes the generalized hypertable API introduced in [TimescaleDB v2.13.0][rn-2130].\nFor information about the deprecated interface, see [add_dimension(), deprecated interface][add-dimension-old].\n\n## Samples\n\nFirst convert table `conditions` to hypertable with just range\npartitioning on column `time`, then add an additional partition key on\n`location` with four partitions:\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', by_range('time'));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 4));\n```\n\n\n\nThe `by_range` and `by_hash` dimension builders are an addition to TimescaleDB 2.13.\n\n\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable with range partitioning on\n`time` then add three additional dimensions: one hash partitioning on\n`location`, one range partition on `time_received`, and one hash\npartitionining on `device_id`.\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', by_range('time'));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_range('time_received', INTERVAL '1 day'));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('device_id', 2));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('device_id', 2), if_not_exists => true);\n```\n\n## Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|------------------|-|-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|`chunk_time_interval` | INTERVAL | - | ✖ | Interval that each chunk covers.

See [`create_hypertable`][create_hypertable] for more information. |\n\n### Dimension info\n\nTo create a `_timescaledb_internal.dimension_info` instance, you call [add_dimension][add_dimension]\nto an existing hypertable.\n\n#### Samples\n\nHypertables must always have a primary range dimension, followed by an arbitrary number of additional\ndimensions that can be either range or hash, Typically this is just one hash. For example:\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_range('time'));\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\n```\n\nFor incompatible data types such as `jsonb`, you can specify a function to the `partition_func` argument\nof the dimension build to extract a compatible data type. Look in the example section below.\n\n#### Custom partitioning\n\nBy default, TimescaleDB calls Postgres's internal hash function for the given type.\nYou use a custom partitioning function for value types that do not have a native Postgres hash function.\n\nYou can specify a custom partitioning function for both range and hash partitioning. A partitioning function should\ntake a `anyelement` argument as the only parameter and return a positive `integer` hash value. This hash value is\n_not_ a partition identifier, but rather the inserted value's position in the dimension's key space, which is then\ndivided across the partitions.\n\n#### by_range()\n\nCreate a by-range dimension builder. You can partition `by_range` on it's own.\n\n##### Samples\n\n- Partition on time using `CREATE TABLE`\n\n The simplest usage is to partition on a time column:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE conditions (\n time TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n ) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time'\n );\n ```\n\n If you are self-hosting TimescaleDB v2.19.3 and below, create a [Postgres relational table][pg-create-table],\nthen convert it using [create_hypertable][create_hypertable]. You then enable hypercore with a call\nto [ALTER TABLE][alter_table_hypercore].\n\n This is the default partition, you do not need to add it explicitly.\n\n- Extract time from a non-time column using `create_hypertable`\n\n If you have a table with a non-time column containing the time, such as\n a JSON column, add a partition function to extract the time:\n\n ```sql\n CREATE TABLE my_table (\n metric_id serial not null,\n data jsonb,\n );\n\n CREATE FUNCTION get_time(jsonb) RETURNS timestamptz AS $$\n SELECT ($1->>'time')::timestamptz\n $$ LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE;\n\n SELECT create_hypertable('my_table', by_range('data', '1 day', 'get_time'));\n ```\n\n##### Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|----------|---------|-|-|\n|`column_name`| `NAME` | - |✔|Name of column to partition on.|\n|`partition_func`| `REGPROC` | - |✖|The function to use for calculating the partition of a value.|\n|`partition_interval`|`ANYELEMENT` | - |✖|Interval to partition column on.|\n\nIf the column to be partitioned is a:\n\n- `TIMESTAMP`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, or `DATE`: specify `partition_interval` either as an `INTERVAL` type\n or an integer value in *microseconds*.\n\n- Another integer type: specify `partition_interval` as an integer that reflects the column's\n underlying semantics. For example, if this column is in UNIX time, specify `partition_interval` in milliseconds.\n\nThe partition type and default value depending on column type is:\n\n| Column Type | Partition Type | Default value |\n|------------------------------|------------------|---------------|\n| `TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIMEZONE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `DATE` | INTERVAL/INTEGER | 1 week |\n| `SMALLINT` | SMALLINT | 10000 |\n| `INT` | INT | 100000 |\n| `BIGINT` | BIGINT | 1000000 |\n\n\n#### by_hash()\n\nThe main purpose of hash partitioning is to enable parallelization across multiple disks within the same time interval.\nEvery distinct item in hash partitioning is hashed to one of *N* buckets. By default, TimescaleDB uses flexible range\nintervals to manage chunk sizes.\n\n### Parallelizing disk I/O\n\nYou use Parallel I/O in the following scenarios:\n\n- Two or more concurrent queries should be able to read from different disks in parallel.\n- A single query should be able to use query parallelization to read from multiple disks in parallel.\n\nFor the following options:\n\n- **RAID**: use a RAID setup across multiple physical disks, and expose a single logical disk to the hypertable.\n That is, using a single tablespace.\n\n Best practice is to use RAID when possible, as you do not need to manually manage tablespaces\n in the database.\n\n- **Multiple tablespaces**: for each physical disk, add a separate tablespace to the database. TimescaleDB allows you to\n add multiple tablespaces to a *single* hypertable. However, although under the hood, a hypertable's\n chunks are spread across the tablespaces associated with that hypertable.\n\n When using multiple tablespaces, a best practice is to also add a second hash-partitioned dimension to your hypertable\n and to have at least one hash partition per disk. While a single time dimension would also work, it would mean that\n the first chunk is written to one tablespace, the second to another, and so on, and thus would parallelize only if a\n query's time range exceeds a single chunk.\n\nWhen adding a hash partitioned dimension, set the number of partitions to a multiple of number of disks. For example,\nthe number of partitions P=N*Pd where N is the number of disks and Pd is the number of partitions per\ndisk. This enables you to add more disks later and move partitions to the new disk from other disks.\n\nTimescaleDB does *not* benefit from a very large number of hash\npartitions, such as the number of unique items you expect in partition\nfield. A very large number of hash partitions leads both to poorer\nper-partition load balancing (the mapping of items to partitions using\nhashing), as well as much increased planning latency for some types of\nqueries.\n\n##### Samples\n\n```sql\nCREATE TABLE conditions (\n \"time\" TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,\n location TEXT NOT NULL,\n device TEXT NOT NULL,\n temperature DOUBLE PRECISION NULL,\n humidity DOUBLE PRECISION NULL\n) WITH (\n tsdb.hypertable,\n tsdb.partition_column='time',\n tsdb.chunk_interval='1 day'\n);\n\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', by_hash('location', 2));\n```\n\n##### Arguments\n\n| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |\n|-|----------|---------|-|----------------------------------------------------------|\n|`column_name`| `NAME` | - |✔| Name of column to partition on. |\n|`partition_func`| `REGPROC` | - |✖| The function to use to calcule the partition of a value. |\n|`number_partitions`|`ANYELEMENT` | - |✔| Number of hash partitions to use for `partitioning_column`.

For [regular hypertables][regular-hypertables]\nthat exist only on a single node, additional partitioning can be used\nfor specialized use cases and not recommended for most users.\n\nSpace partitions use hashing: Every distinct item is hashed to one of\n*N* buckets. Remember that we are already using (flexible) time\nintervals to manage chunk sizes; the main purpose of space\npartitioning is to enable parallelization across multiple\ndata nodes (in the case of distributed hypertables) or\nacross multiple disks within the same time interval\n(in the case of single-node deployments).\n\n## Samples\n\nFirst convert table `conditions` to hypertable with just time\npartitioning on column `time`, then add an additional partition key on `location` with four partitions:\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time');\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', 'location', number_partitions => 4);\n```\n\nConvert table `conditions` to hypertable with time partitioning on `time` and\nspace partitioning (2 partitions) on `location`, then add two additional dimensions.\n\n```sql\nSELECT create_hypertable('conditions', 'time', 'location', 2);\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', 'time_received', chunk_time_interval => INTERVAL '1 day');\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', 'device_id', number_partitions => 2);\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', 'device_id', number_partitions => 2, if_not_exists => true);\n```\n\nNow in a multi-node example for distributed hypertables with a cluster\nof one access node and two data nodes, configure the access node for\naccess to the two data nodes. Then, convert table `conditions` to\na distributed hypertable with just time partitioning on column `time`,\nand finally add a space partitioning dimension on `location`\nwith two partitions (as the number of the attached data nodes).\n\n```sql\nSELECT add_data_node('dn1', host => 'dn1.example.com');\nSELECT add_data_node('dn2', host => 'dn2.example.com');\nSELECT create_distributed_hypertable('conditions', 'time');\nSELECT add_dimension('conditions', 'location', number_partitions => 2);\n```\n\n### Parallelizing queries across multiple data nodes\n\nIn a distributed hypertable, space partitioning enables inserts to be\nparallelized across data nodes, even while the inserted rows share\ntimestamps from the same time interval, and thus increases the ingest rate.\nQuery performance also benefits by being able to parallelize queries\nacross nodes, particularly when full or partial aggregations can be\n\"pushed down\" to data nodes (for example, as in the query\n`avg(temperature) FROM conditions GROUP BY hour, location`\nwhen using `location` as a space partition). Please see our\n[best practices about partitioning in distributed hypertables][distributed-hypertable-partitioning-best-practices]\nfor more information.\n\n### Parallelizing disk I/O on a single node\n\nParallel I/O can benefit in two scenarios: (a) two or more concurrent\nqueries should be able to read from different disks in parallel, or\n(b) a single query should be able to use query parallelization to read\nfrom multiple disks in parallel.\n\nThus, users looking for parallel I/O have two options:\n\n1. Use a RAID setup across multiple physical disks, and expose a\nsingle logical disk to the hypertable (that is, via a single tablespace).\n\n1. For each physical disk, add a separate tablespace to the\ndatabase. TimescaleDB allows you to actually add multiple tablespaces\nto a *single* hypertable (although under the covers, a hypertable's\nchunks are spread across the tablespaces associated with that hypertable).\n\nWe recommend a RAID setup when possible, as it supports both forms of\nparallelization described above (that is, separate queries to separate\ndisks, single query to multiple disks in parallel). The multiple\ntablespace approach only supports the former. With a RAID setup,\n*no spatial partitioning is required*.\n\nThat said, when using space partitions, we recommend using 1\nspace partition per disk.\n\nTimescaleDB does *not* benefit from a very large number of space\npartitions (such as the number of unique items you expect in partition\nfield). A very large number of such partitions leads both to poorer\nper-partition load balancing (the mapping of items to partitions using\nhashing), as well as much increased planning latency for some types of\nqueries.\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`hypertable`|REGCLASS|Hypertable to add the dimension to|\n|`column_name`|TEXT|Column to partition by|\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`number_partitions`|INTEGER|Number of hash partitions to use on `column_name`.

The PG cache invalidation clears off the cached size for a\nchunk when DML happens into it. That size cache is thus able to get\nthe latest size in a matter of minutes. Also, due to the backend\ncaching, any long running session will only fetch latest data for new\nor modified chunks and can use the cached data (which is calculated\nafresh the first time around) effectively for older chunks.

Therefore, when\nrefreshing the continuous aggregate, only buckets that completely fit within the\nrefresh window are refreshed. In other words, it is not possible to compute the\naggregate over, for an incomplete bucket. Therefore, any buckets that do not\nfit within the given refresh window are excluded.\n\nThe function expects the window parameter values to have a time type that is\ncompatible with the continuous aggregate's time bucket expression—for\nexample, if the time bucket is specified in `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE`, then the\nstart and end time should be a date or timestamp type. Note that a continuous\naggregate using the `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` type aligns with the UTC time\nzone, so, if `window_start` and `window_end` is specified in the local time\nzone, any time zone shift relative UTC needs to be accounted for when refreshing\nto align with bucket boundaries.\n\nTo improve performance for continuous aggregate refresh, see\n[CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ][create_materialized_view].\n\n## Samples\n\nRefresh the continuous aggregate `conditions` between `2020-01-01` and\n`2020-02-01` exclusive.\n\n```sql\nCALL refresh_continuous_aggregate('conditions', '2020-01-01', '2020-02-01');\n```\n\nAlternatively, incrementally refresh the continuous aggregate `conditions`\nbetween `2020-01-01` and `2020-02-01` exclusive, working in `12h` intervals:\n\n```sql\nDO\n$$\nDECLARE\n refresh_interval INTERVAL = '12h'::INTERVAL;\n start_timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ = '2020-01-01T00:00:00Z';\n end_timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ = start_timestamp + refresh_interval;\nBEGIN\n WHILE start_timestamp < '2020-02-01T00:00:00Z' LOOP\n CALL refresh_continuous_aggregate('conditions', start_timestamp, end_timestamp);\n COMMIT;\n RAISE NOTICE 'finished with timestamp %', end_timestamp;\n start_timestamp = end_timestamp;\n end_timestamp = end_timestamp + refresh_interval;\n END LOOP;\nEND\n$$;\n```\n\nForce the `conditions` continuous aggregate to refresh between `2020-01-01` and\n`2020-02-01` exclusive, even if the data has already been refreshed.\n\n```sql\nCALL refresh_continuous_aggregate('conditions', '2020-01-01', '2020-02-01', force => TRUE);\n```\n\n## Required arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`continuous_aggregate`|REGCLASS|The continuous aggregate to refresh.|\n|`window_start`|INTERVAL, TIMESTAMPTZ, INTEGER|Start of the window to refresh, has to be before `window_end`.|\n|`window_end`|INTERVAL, TIMESTAMPTZ, INTEGER|End of the window to refresh, has to be after `window_start`.|\n\nYou must specify the `window_start` and `window_end` parameters differently,\ndepending on the type of the time column of the hypertable.

As\nchanged element tracking is performed after the initial CAgg refresh, running\nCAgg refresh without `window_start` and `window_end` covers the entire time\nrange.\n\n\n\nNote that it's not guaranteed that all buckets will be updated: refreshes will\nnot take place when buckets are materialized with no data changes or with\nchanges that only occurred in the secondary table used in the JOIN.\n\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type| Description |\n|-|-|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `force` | BOOLEAN | Force refresh every bucket in the time range between `window_start` and `window_end`, even when the bucket has already been refreshed.

If provided, it serves as the origin with respect to which the next_start is calculated |\n\nThe `start_offset` should be greater than `end_offset`.\n\nYou must specify the `start_offset` and `end_offset` parameters differently,\ndepending on the type of the time column of the hypertable:\n\n* For hypertables with `TIMESTAMP`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, and `DATE` time columns,\n set the offset as an `INTERVAL` type.\n* For hypertables with integer-based timestamps, set the offset as an\n `INTEGER` type.\n\n\n\nWhile setting `end_offset` to `NULL` is possible, it is not recommended. To include the data between `end_offset` and\nthe current time in queries, enable [real-time aggregation](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/continuous-aggregates/real-time-aggregates/).\n\n\n\nYou can add [concurrent refresh policies](https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/continuous-aggregates/refresh-policies/) on each continuous aggregate, as long as the `start_offset` and `end_offset` does not overlap with another policy on the same continuous aggregate.\n\n## Optional arguments\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`if_not_exists`|BOOLEAN|Set to `true` to issue a notice instead of an error if the job already exists.

This value is multiplied by the CAgg bucket width to determine the size of the batch range. Default value is `1`, single batch execution. Values of less than `0` are not allowed. | |\n| `max_batches_per_execution` | INTEGER | Limit the maximum number of batches to run when a policy executes. If some batches remain, they are processed the next time the policy runs. Default value is `0`, for an unlimted number of batches. Values of less than `0` are not allowed. | |\n| `refresh_newest_first` | BOOLEAN | Control the order of incremental refreshes. Set to `TRUE` to refresh from the newest data to the oldest. Set to `FALSE` for oldest to newest. The default is `TRUE`. | |\n\n\n\n\nSetting `buckets_per_batch` greater than zero means that the refresh window is split in batches of `bucket width` * `buckets per batch`. For example, a given Continuous Aggregate with `bucket width` of `1 day` and `buckets_per_batch` of 10 has a batch size of `10 days` to process the refresh.\nBecause each `batch` is an individual transaction, executing a policy in batches make the data visible for the users before the entire job is executed. Batches are processed from the most recent data to the oldest.\n\n\n\n## Returns\n\n|Column|Type|Description|\n|-|-|-|\n|`job_id`|INTEGER|TimescaleDB background job ID created to implement this policy|\n\n\n===== PAGE: https://docs.tigerdata.com/api/continuous-aggregates/hypertable_size/ =====\n\n# hypertable_size()\n\n\n# hypertable_size()\n\nGet the total disk space used by a hypertable or continuous aggregate,\nthat is, the sum of the size for the table itself including chunks,\nany indexes on the table, and any toast tables.
