LIMIT and SLIMIT clauses
InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is in Public Alpha
InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is in public alpha and available for testing and feedback, but is not meant for production use. Both the product and this documentation are works in progress. We welcome and encourage your input about your experience with the alpha and invite you to join our public channels for updates and to share feedback.
Use LIMIT to limit the number of rows returned per InfluxQL group.
Use SLIMIT to limit the number of series
returned in query results.
LIMIT clause
The LIMIT clause limits the number of rows to return from each InfluxQL group.
If the query doesn’t include a GROUP BY clause,
the entire result set is considered a single group.
If a query groups data by time,
limits are applied after aggregate and selector operations are applied to each
time window.
Syntax
SELECT_clause FROM_clause [WHERE_clause] [GROUP_BY_clause] [ORDER_BY_clause] LIMIT N
Arguments
- N: Maximum number of points to return from each InfluxQL group.
If
Nis greater than the number of points in a group, all points from the group are returned.
Examples
The following examples use the Get started home sensor sample data.
SLIMIT clause
InfluxQL is being rearchitected to work with the InfluxDB 3 storage engine.
This process is ongoing and some InfluxQL features, such as SLIMIT are still
being implemented. For more information, see
InfluxQL feature support.
