Time series database

A time series database is a software system that is optimized for storing and serving

data historians
), but now are used in support of a much wider range of applications. In many cases, the repositories of time-series data will utilize
compression algorithms to manage the data efficiently.[3][4] Although it is possible to store time-series data in many different database types, the design of these systems with time as a key index is distinctly different from relational databases which reduce discrete relationships through referential models.[5]

Overview

Time series datasets are relatively large and uniform compared to other datasets―usually being composed of a timestamp and associated data.[6] Time series datasets can also have fewer relationships between data entries in different tables and don't require indefinite storage of entries.[6] The unique properties of time series datasets mean that time series databases can provide significant improvements in storage space and performance over general purpose databases.[6] For instance, due to the uniformity of time series data, specialized compression algorithms can provide improvements over regular compression algorithms designed to work on less uniform data.[6] Time series databases can also be configured to regularly delete (or downsample) old data, unlike regular databases which are designed to store data indefinitely.[6] Special database indices can also provide boosts in query performance.[6]
