<p>"One Table for One Device" design can improve the insert/query performance significantly for a single device. But it has a side effect, the aggregation of multiple tables becomes hard. To reduce the complexity and improve the efficiency, TDengine introduced a new concept: STable (Super Table).  </p>

<a class='anchor' id='What-is-a-Super-Table'></a><h2>What is a Super Table</h2>
<p>STable is an abstract and a template for a type of device. A STable contains a set of devices (tables) that have the same schema or data structure. Besides the shared schema, a STable has a set of tags, like the model, serial number and so on. Tags are used to record the static attributes for the devices and are used to group a set of devices (tables) for aggregation. Tags are metadata of a table and can be added, deleted or changed.   </p>
<p>TDengine does not save tags as a part of the data points collected. Instead, tags are saved as metadata. Each table has a set of tags. To improve query performance, tags are all cached and indexed. One table can only belong to one STable, but one STable may contain many tables. </p>
<p>Like a table, you can create, show, delete and describe STables. Most query operations on tables can be applied to STable too, including the aggregation and selector functions. For queries on a STable, if no tags filter, the operations are applied to all the tables created via this STable. If there is a tag filter, the operations are applied only to a subset of the tables which satisfy the tag filter conditions. It will be very convenient to use tags to put devices into different groups for aggregation.</p>

<p>For the time being, STable supports only the following aggregation/selection functions: <em>sum, count, avg, first, last, min, max, top, bottom</em>, and the projection operations, the same syntax as a standard table.  Arithmetic operations are not supported, embedded queries not either. </p>
<p><em>INTERVAL</em> is used for the aggregation over a time range.</p>

<p>If <em>GROUP BY</em> is not used, the aggregation is applied to all the selected tables, and the result set is output in ascending order of the timestamp, but you can use "<em>ORDER BY _c0 ASC|DESC</em>" to specify the order you like. </p>
<p>If <em>GROUP BY <tag_name></em> is used, the aggregation is applied to groups based on tags. Each group is aggregated independently. Result set is a group of aggregation results. The group order is decided by <em>ORDER BY <tag_name></em>. Inside each group, the result set is in the ascending order of the time stamp. </p>
