- Each supertable can have a maximum of 4096 columns, including tags. The minimum number of columns is 3: a timestamp column used as the key, one tag column, and one data column.
- When you create a supertable, you can add comments to columns and tags.
- The TAGS keyword defines the tag columns for the supertable. The following restrictions apply to tag columns:
- A tag column can use the TIMESTAMP data type, but the values in the column must be fixed numbers. Timestamps including formulae, such as "now + 10s", cannot be stored in a tag column.
- The name of a tag column cannot be the same as the name of any other column.
