Query data with SQL
InfluxDB 3 Core is in Public Beta
InfluxDB 3 Core is in public beta and available for testing and feedback, but is not meant for production use yet. Both the product and this documentation are works in progress. We welcome and encourage your input about your experience with the beta and invite you to join our public channels for updates and to share feedback.
Learn to query data in InfluxDB 3 Core using SQL.
- Explore your schema with SQL
- Perform a basic SQL query
- Aggregate data with SQL
- Cast values to different types
- Fill gaps in data
- Use parameterized queries with SQL
Explore your schema with SQL
Use SQL to explore your data schema in your InfluxDB 3 Core database.
List tables
SHOW TABLES
List columns in a table
SHOW COLUMNS IN table
Perform a basic SQL query
A basic SQL query that queries data from InfluxDB 3 Core most commonly includes SELECT
, FROM
, and WHERE
clauses.
SELECT temp, room FROM home WHERE time >= now() - INTERVAL '1 day'
Aggregate data with SQL
Use aggregate and selector functions to perform aggregate operations on your time series data.
Aggregate fields by groups
SELECT
mean(field1) AS mean,
selector_first(field2)['value'] as first,
tag1
FROM home
GROUP BY tag
Aggregate by time-based intervals
SELECT
DATE_BIN(INTERVAL '1 hour', time, '2022-01-01T00:00:00Z'::TIMESTAMP) AS time,
mean(field1),
sum(field2),
tag1
FROM home
GROUP BY 1, tag1
Cast values to different types
Use the CAST
function or double-colon ::
casting shorthand syntax to cast a value to a specific type.
-- CAST clause
SELECT CAST(1234.5 AS BIGINT)
-- Double-colon casting shorthand
SELECT 1234.5::BIGINT
Fill gaps in data
Use date_bin_gapfill
with interpolate
or locf
to fill gaps of time where no data is returned.
SELECT
date_bin_gapfill(INTERVAL '30 minutes', time) as time,
room,
interpolate(avg(temp))
FROM home
WHERE
time >= '2022-01-01T08:00:00Z'
AND time <= '2022-01-01T10:00:00Z'
GROUP BY 1, room
Use parameterized queries with SQL
Use parameterized queries to prevent injection attacks and make queries more reusable.
Using Go and the influxdb3-go client
// Use the $parameter syntax to reference parameters in a query.
// The following SQL query contains $room and $min_temp placeholders.
query := `
SELECT * FROM home
WHERE time >= $min_time
AND temp >= $min_temp
AND room = $room`
// Assign parameter names to input values.
parameters := influxdb3.QueryParameters{
"room": "Kitchen",
"min_temp": 20.0,
"min_time": "2024-03-18 00:00:00.00",
}
// Call the client's function to query InfluxDB with parameters.
iterator, err := client.QueryWithParameters(context.Background(), query, parameters)
