The following changes are a delta of version 5.0.6.1 and therefore may include changes announced in 6.0.0 prereleases.

Release Highlights

Version 6.0.0 adds support for out-of-order (O3) record ingestion on-the-fly, and as a result, does not enforce that records appear at QuestDB in strict chronological order. O3 support adds flexibility and efficiency of use to the system and provides compatibility with the Time Series Benchmark Suite (TSBS) which is used to reliably measure and compare the performance of time series databases. Also included with this version is a a massive internal revision of InfluxDB Line Protocol (ILP) ingestion which brings significant performance improvements, alongside multiple UI fixes for the Web Console and SQL features.

  • Arch: ARM64 and Apple Silicon (M1) support (#878)
  • O3 support for ingestion of records which are out-of-order (O3) by timestamp (#926)
  • REST: fileName parameter can be specified for the /exp endpoint for CSV exports (#830)
  • PG wire: PostgreSQL JDBC driver now supports getSQLKeywords method (#836)

  • SQL: LIMIT -1 returns last row as expected (#831)
  • SQL: Epoch timestamps supported in CSV imports (#876)
  • SQL: Behavior of ORDER BY query returns correct values on non-cached symbol types (#877)
  • SQL: Column names allow minus - underscore _ for compatibility with InfluxDB Line Protocol messages (#859)
  • SQL: latest by query could return data in incorrect timestamp order (#986)
