- The result of a nested query is returned as a virtual table used by the outer query. It's recommended to give an alias to this table for the convenience of using it in the outer query.

- The features that can be used in the inner query are the same as those that can be used in a non-nested query.
-`ORDER BY` inside the inner query is unnecessary and will slow down the query performance significantly. It is best to avoid the use of `ORDER BY` inside the inner query.
- Compared to the non-nested query, the functionality that can be used in the outer query has the following restrictions:

- If the result set returned by the inner query doesn't contain timestamp column, then functions relying on timestamp can't be used in the outer query, like `TOP`, `BOTTOM`, `FIRST`, `LAST`, `DIFF`.
- Functions that need to scan the data twice can't be used in the outer query, like `STDDEV`, `PERCENTILE`.
-`IN` operator is not allowed in the outer query but can be used in the inner query.
-`GROUP BY` is not supported in the outer query.
- If the result set returned by the inner query doesn't contain timestamp column, then functions relying on timestamp can't be used in the outer query, like INTERP,DERIVATIVE, IRATE, LAST_ROW, FIRST, LAST, TWA, STATEDURATION, TAIL, UNIQUE.
- If the result set returned by the inner query are not sorted in order by timestamp, then functions relying on data ordered by timestamp can't be used in the outer query, like LEASTSQUARES, ELAPSED, INTERP, DERIVATIVE, IRATE, TWA, DIFF, STATECOUNT, STATEDURATION, CSUM, MAVG, TAIL, UNIQUE.

As a purpose-built database for storing and processing time-series data, TDengine provides time-series-specific extensions to standard SQL.
These extensions include tag-partitioned queries and windowed queries.

## Tag-Partitioned Queries
## Partitioned Queries
When you query a supertable, you may need to partition the supertable by tag and perform additional operations on a specific partition. In this case, you can use the following SQL clause:

part_list can be any scalar expression, such as a column, constant, scalar function, or a combination of the preceding items.
A PARTITION BY clause with a tag is processed as follows:
A PARTITION BY clause is processed as follows:
- The PARTITION BY clause must occur after the WHERE clause and cannot be used with a JOIN clause.
- The PARTITION BY clause partitions the super table by the specified tag group, and the specified calculation is performed on each partition. The calculation performed is determined by the rest of the statement - a window clause, GROUP BY clause, or SELECT clause.
-You can use PARTITION BY together with a window clause or GROUP BY clause. In this case, the window or GROUP BY clause takes effect on every partition. For example, the following statement partitions the table by the location tag, performs downsampling over a 10 minute window, and returns the maximum value:
- The PARTITION BY clause must occur after the WHERE clause
- The PARTITION BY caluse partitions the data according to the specified dimentions, then perform computation on each partition. The performed computation is determined by the rest of the statement - a window clause, GROUP BY clause, or SELECT clause.

The most common usage of PARTITION BY is partitioning the data in subtables by tags then perform computation when querying data in a supertable. More specifically, `PARTITION BY TBNAME` partitions the data of each subtable into a single timeline, and this method facilitates the statistical analysis in many use cases of processing timeseries data.
## Windowed Queries
Aggregation by time window is supported in TDengine. For example, in the case where temperature sensors report the temperature every seconds, the average temperature for every 10 minutes can be retrieved by performing a query with a time window. Window related clauses are used to divide the data set to be queried into subsets and then aggregation is performed across the subsets. There are three kinds of windows: time window, status window, and session window. There are two kinds of time windows: sliding window and flip time/tumbling window. The query syntax is as follows:
```sql
SELECTfunction_listFROMtb_name
SELECTselect_listFROMtb_name
[WHEREwhere_condition]
[SESSION(ts_col,tol_val)]
[STATE_WINDOW(col)]

### Restricted Functions
- Aggregate functions and select functions can be used in `function_list`, with each function having only one output. For example COUNT, AVG, SUM, STDDEV, LEASTSQUARES, PERCENTILE, MIN, MAX, FIRST, LAST. Functions having multiple outputs, such as DIFF or arithmetic operations can't be used.
-`LAST_ROW` can't be used together with window aggregate.
- Scalar functions, like CEIL/FLOOR, can't be used with window aggregate.
### Other Rules
- The window clause must occur after the PARTITION BY clause and before the GROUP BY clause. It cannot be used with a GROUP BY clause.

If `GROUP BY` is not used in the query, the result set will be returned in ascending order of timestamp; otherwise the result set is not exactly in the order of ascending timestamp in each group.

In case of using integer, bool, or string to represent the status of a device at any given moment, continuous rows with the same status belong to a status window. Once the status changes, the status window closes.

## Create a User
```sql

CREATEUSERuser_namePASS'password'[SYSINFO{1|0}];
```
This statement creates a user account.
The maximum length of use_name is 23 bytes.
The maximum length of user_name is 23 bytes.
The maximum length of password is 128 bytes. The password can include leters, digits, and special characters excluding single quotation marks, double quotation marks, backticks, backslashes, and spaces. The password cannot be empty.
`SYSINFO` indicates whether the user is allowed to view system information. `1` means allowed, `0` means not allowed. System information includes server configuration, dnode, vnode, storage. The default value is `1`.
For example, we can create a user whose password is `123456` and is able to view system information.
- ENABLE: Specify whether the user is enabled or disabled. 1 indicates enabled and 0 indicates disabled.
- SYSINFO: Specify whether the user can query system information. 1 indicates that the user can query system information and 0 indicates that the user cannot query system information.
For example, you can use below command to disable user `test`:
