InfluxQL feature support

InfluxQL is being rearchitected to work with the InfluxDB 3 storage engine. This process is ongoing and some InfluxQL features are still being implemented. This page provides information about the current implementation status of InfluxQL features.

In-progress features

SLIMIT clause

InfluxQL in InfluxDB Clustered does not currently support the SLIMIT clause, which limits the number of series returned in query results.

SOFFSET clause

InfluxQL in InfluxDB Clustered does not currently support the SOFFSET clause, which specifies the number of series to skip before returning results.

Metaqueries

InfluxQL metaqueries return information about the schema of time series data stored in InfluxDB. The following table provides information about what metaqueries are available in InfluxDB Clustered:

MetaquerySupported
SHOW DATABASES
SHOW RETENTION POLICIES
SHOW MEASUREMENTS
SHOW SERIES
SHOW SERIES CARDINALITY
SHOW TAG KEYS
SHOW TAG KEY CARDINALITY
SHOW TAG VALUES
SHOW TAG VALUES CARDINALITY
SHOW FIELD KEYS
SHOW FIELD KEYS CARDINALITY

Cardinality metaqueries

With the InfluxDB 3 storage engine, series cardinality is no longer a limiting factor for database performance. Cardinality-related metaqueries will likely not be supported with the InfluxDB 3 storage engine.
