Excellent introduction to TimescaleDB. Would very much like to see more features and capabilities.

This is great! One point of feedback: instead of writing each parquet file out to disk as a csv, and then COPYing from the csv file, try converting the parquet file to csv and streaming it directly into the STDIN of the COPY command. Forego the reading and writing to disk. I expect this to speed up your load script considerably.

In older versions of Postgres you had to use table inheritance to achieve partioninging. But since last several years, they have declarative partitions although you still have to create the partition tables yourself.

There is an extension called pg_partman that can help creating partitions automatically. We also use timescaledb in our Production databases to deal with time series data. Another think I want to mention that, creating a dummy timestamp data it isn't that hard. You don't need to download anything. You can use PostgreSQL generate_series() command which can accept start and end_time and use random numeric values for any time range.

We are using timescale db in prod. But, actually, this solution has a lot of problems yet. You can check issues. But anyway it's pretty simple and affordable variant for timeseries.

Hello and thank you for your videos :) I've been interested in TimescaleDB for a while now, but my data is not completely timeseries-oriented. Each record I want to analyze can evolve over time in my current DB, so we would have mutable events if I keep my current implementation. I suppose this is not acceptable with TimescaleDB? Wouldn't it be better to transform every event that modifies one of my record in my current model into a unique event to the tsdb, with a ban on modifying the data afterwards? I hope I've made myself clear :)

You also have to re-balance the index for every insert, which will cause much slower insertion times.

to be fair he said they sponsored it from the beginning and that he actually uses dispite the sponsorships. I don't see anything wrong or unethical here. Maybe a bigger call out to it being sponsored might easy your issues? I personally found this to be quiet help and relevant for me and as long as there is a free/open source self hosted option for any of the products I'll always come back for more.... Just MHO

I never said it's wrong or unethical, I'm just not a fan. Whenever I see something sponsored, I skip the segment. If the whole video is a sponsored segment, I skip the video.

Why? I personally think that videos featuring sponsor segments that have nothing to do with the video are stupid. Why would a psql video not feature a psql-type sponsor, if the sponsor actually has a product worth advertising for? Seems to me like a perfect fit! And, by extension, you're saying you would've watched or cared for the video much more if it was exactly the same content without him mentioning the sponsor? That's beyond weird tbh
