uint() function

uint() converts a value to an unsigned integer type.

uint() behavior depends on the input data type:

Input typeReturned value
bool1 (true) or 0 (false)
durationNumber of nanoseconds in the specified duration
floatUInteger equivalent of the float value truncated at the decimal
intUInteger equivalent of the integer
stringUInteger equivalent of the numeric string
timeEquivalent nanosecond epoch timestamp

Parameters

v

(Required) Value to convert.

Examples

Convert basic types to unsigned integers

uint(v: "3")

// Returns 3
uint(v: 1m)

// Returns 160000000000
uint(v: 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z)

// Returns 1640995200000000000
uint(v: 10.12)

// Returns 10
uint(v: -100)// Returns 18446744073709551516

Convert all values in a column to unsigned integers

If converting the _value column to uint types, use toUInt(). If converting columns other than _value, use map() to iterate over each row and uint() to convert a column value to a uint type.

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise are now in Beta

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise are now available for beta testing, available under MIT or Apache 2 license.

InfluxDB 3 Core is a high-speed, recent-data engine that collects and processes data in real-time, while persisting it to local disk or object storage. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is a commercial product that builds on Core’s foundation, adding high availability, read replicas, enhanced security, and data compaction for faster queries. A free tier of InfluxDB 3 Enterprise will also be available for at-home, non-commercial use for hobbyists to get the full historical time series database set of capabilities.
