Planning for accessing time series data
You use SQL routines, Java™ classes and methods, and C API routines to access and manipulate time series data directly. You can also transform time series data into virtual tables that you can query with standard SQL statements.
Call routines from within SQL statements or from within Java or C applications on either the client or the server computer.
Use TimeSeries SQL routines, Java classes
and methods and API routines, and API routines that are written in
C to perform the following types of operations to access or manipulate
time series data:
- Manipulate individual elements or sets of elements
- Perform statistical and arithmetic calculations
- Aggregate data
- Convert between time stamps and offsets
- Extract values for a time interval
- Find or delete null elements
- Remove older data by deleting a range of elements
Create virtual tables to view and query time series data by using standard SQL statements. You can display the results of TimeSeries SQL functions on time series data in virtual tables.
You can output time series data in XML format to display in applications.
