8. It is assumed that the order of field_set in a supertable is consistent, meaning that the first record contains all fields and subsequent records store fields in the same order. If the order is not consistent, set smlDataFormat in taos.cfg to false. Otherwise, data will be written out of order and a database error will occur.
Note: TDengine 3.0.3.0 and later automatically detect whether order is consistent. This parameter is no longer used.
9. Due to the fact that SQL table names do not support period (.), schemaless has also processed period (.). If there is a period (.) in the table name automatically created by schemaless, it will be automatically replaced with an underscore (\_). If you manually specify a sub table name, if there is a dot (.) in the sub table name, it will also be converted to an underscore (\_)
10. Taos.cfg adds the configuration of smlTsDefaultName (with a string value), which only works on the client side. After configuration, the time column name of the schemaless automatic table creation can be set through this configuration. If not configured, defaults to _ts.

All processing logic of schemaless will still follow TDengine's underlying restrictions on data structures, such as the total length of each row of data cannot exceed 48 KB(64 KB since version 3.0.5.0) and the total length of a tag value cannot exceed 16 KB. See [TDengine SQL Boundary Limits](/taos-sql/limit) for specific constraints in this area.
