Time series data is any type of data that always has a timestamp attached to it, such as logging, metrics, telemetry, etc.
- ludston 5y agoYou get similar functionality to QuestDB if you take a traditional database, make all of your tables clustered by datetime fields. The advantage advertised by QuestDB is that it is optimized specifically for this common use-case. The disadvantage of this being that it only allows clustered indexes for timestamp columns.
- dikei 5y agoI agree, you can use traditional RDBMS like Postgresql or MySQL for almost every use cases. It's just that purpose-built DBs like QuestDB can be multi-magnitude faster if your problem fit their niche.
