:::note
Only ASCII visible characters are suggested to be used in a column or tag of BINARY type. Multi-byte characters must be stored in NCHAR type.
- TDengine is case insensitive and treats any characters in the sql command as lower case by default, case sensitive strings must be quoted with single quotes.
- Only ASCII visible characters are suggested to be used in a column or tag of BINARY type. Multi-byte characters must be stored in NCHAR type.
- Numeric values in SQL statements will be determined as integer or float type according to whether there is decimal point or whether scientific notation is used, so attention must be paid to avoid overflow. For example, 9999999999999999999 will be considered as overflow because it exceeds the upper limit of long integer, but 9999999999999999999.0 will be considered as a legal float number.
:::
## Constants
TDengine supports constants of multiple data type.
| 1 | [{+ \| -}]123 | BIGINT | Numeric constants are treated as BIGINT type. The value will be truncated if it exceeds the range of BIGINT type. |
| 2 | 123.45 | DOUBLE | Floating number constants are treated as DOUBLE type. TDengine determines whether it's a floating number based on if decimal point or scientific notation is used. |
| 3 | 1.2E3 | DOUBLE | Constants in scientific notation are treated ad DOUBLE type. |
| 4 | 'abc' | BINARY | String constants enclosed by single quotes are treated as BINARY type. Its size is determined as the acutal length. Single quote itself can be included by preceding backslash, i.e. `\'`, in a string constant. |
| 5 | "abc" | BINARY | String constants enclosed by double quotes are treated as BINARY type. Its size is determined as the acutal length. Double quote itself can be included by preceding backslash, i.e. `\"`, in a string constant. |
| 6 | TIMESTAMP {'literal' \| "literal"} | TIMESTAMP | A string constant following `TIMESTAMP` keyword is treated as TIMESTAMP type. The string should be in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.MS". Its time precision is same as that of the current database being used. |
| 8 | {'' \| "" \| '\t' \| "\t" \| ' ' \| " " \| NULL } | -- | NULL constant, it can be used for any type.|
:::note
Numeric values in SQL statements will be determined as integer or float type according to whether there is decimal point or whether scientific notation is used, so attention must be paid to avoid overflow. For example, 9999999999999999999 will be considered as overflow because it exceeds the upper limit of long integer, but 9999999999999999999.0 will be considered as a legal float number.
- TDengine determines whether it's a floating number based on if decimal point or scientific notation is used. So whether the value is determined as overflow depends on both the value and the determined type. For example, 9999999999999999999 is determined as overflow because it exceeds the upper limit of BIGINT type, while 9999999999999999999.0 is considered as a valid floating number because it is within the range of DOUBLE type.
1. The first column of a table MUST be of type TIMESTAMP. It is automatically set as the primary key.
2. The maximum length of the table name is 192 bytes.
3. The maximum length of each row is 16k bytes, please note that the extra 2 bytes used by each BINARY/NCHAR column are also counted.
3. The maximum length of each row is 48k bytes, please note that the extra 2 bytes used by each BINARY/NCHAR column are also counted.
4. The name of the subtable can only consist of characters from the English alphabet, digits and underscore. Table names can't start with a digit. Table names are case insensitive.
5. The maximum length in bytes must be specified when using BINARY or NCHAR types.
6. Escape character "\`" can be used to avoid the conflict between table names and reserved keywords, above rules will be bypassed when using escape character on table names, but the upper limit for the name length is still valid. The table names specified using escape character are case sensitive. Only ASCII visible characters can be used with escape character.
**Description**：`elapsed` function can be used to calculate the continuous time length in which there is valid data. If it's used with `INTERVAL` clause, the returned result is the calcualted time length within each time window. If it's used without `INTERVAL` caluse, the returned result is the calculated time length within the specified time range. Please be noted that the return value of `elapsed` is the number of `time_unit` in the calculated time length.
**Return value type**：Double
**Applicable Column type**：Timestamp
**Applicable versions**：Sicne version 2.6.0.0
**Applicable tables**: table, STable, outter in nested query
**Explanations**：
-`field_name` parameter can only be the first column of a table, i.e. timestamp primary key.
- The minimum value of `time_unit` is the time precision of the database. If `time_unit` is not specified, the time precision of the database is used as the default ime unit.
- It can be used with `INTERVAL` to get the time valid time length of each time window. Please be noted that the return value is same as the time window for all time windows except for the first and the last time window.
-`order by asc/desc` has no effect on the result.
-`group by tbname` must be used together when `elapsed` is used against a STable.
-`group by` must NOT be used together when `elapsed` is used against a table or sub table.
- When used in nested query, it's only applicable when the inner query outputs an implicit timestamp column as the primary key. For example, `select elapsed(ts) from (select diff(value) from sub1)` is legal usage while `select elapsed(ts) from (select * from sub1)` is not.
- It can't be used with `leastsquares`, `diff`, `derivative`, `top`, `bottom`, `last_row`, `interp`.
## Selection Functions
When any select function is used, timestamp column or tag columns including `tbname` can be specified to show that the selected value are from which rows.

The version number of the TDengine client driver and the version number of the TDengine server require one-to-one correspondence and recommend using the same version of client driver as what the TDengine server version is. Although a lower version of the client driver is compatible to work with a higher version of the server, if the first three version numbers are the same (i.e., only the fourth version number is different), but it is not recommended. It is strongly discouraged to use a higher version of the client driver to access a lower version of the TDengine server.
The version number of the TDengine client driver and the version number of the TDengine server should be the same. A lower version of the client driver is compatible with a higher version of the server, if the first three version numbers are the same (i.e., only the fourth version number is different). For e.g. if the client version is x.y.z.1 and the server version is x.y.z.2 the client and server are compatible. But in general we do not recommend using a lower client version with a newer server version. It is also strongly discouraged to use a higher version of the client driver to access a lower version of the TDengine server.

taosBenchmark supports complete performance testing of TDengine. taosBenchmark supports the TDengine functions in three categories: write, query, and subscribe. These three functions are mutually exclusive, and users can select only one of them each time taosBenchmark runs. It is important to note that the type of functionality to be tested is not configurable when using the command-line configuration method, which can only test writing performance. To test the query and subscription performance of the TDengine, you must use the configuration file method and specify the function type to test via the parameter `filetype` in the configuration file.

TDinsight is a solution for monitoring TDengine using the builtin native monitoring database and [Grafana].
After TDengine starts, it will automatically create a monitoring database `log`. TDengine will automatically write many metrics in specific intervals into the `log` database. The metrics may include the server's CPU, memory, hard disk space, network bandwidth, number of requests, disk read/write speed, slow queries, other information like important system operations (user login, database creation, database deletion, etc.), and error alarms. With [Grafana] and [TDengine Data Source Plugin](https://github.com/taosdata/grafanaplugin/releases), TDinsight can visualize cluster status, node information, insertion and query requests, resource usage, etc., and also vnode, dnode, and mnode status, and exception alerts. Developers monitoring TDengine cluster operation status in real-time can be very convinient. This article will guide users to install the Grafana server, automatically install the TDengine data source plug-in, and deploy the TDinsight visualization panel through`TDinsight.sh` installation script.

In IoT applications, many data items are often collected for intelligent control, business analysis, device monitoring, etc. Due to the version upgrades of the application logic, or the hardware adjustment of the devices themselves, the data collection items may change frequently. To facilitate the data logging work in such cases, TDengine starting from version 2.2.0.0 provides a series of interfaces to the schemaless writing method, which eliminate the need to create super tables and subtables in advance by automatically creating the storage structure corresponding to the data as the data is written to the interface. And when necessary, schemaless writing will automatically add the required columns to ensure that the data written by the user is stored correctly.
In IoT applications, data is collected for many purposes such as intelligent control, business analysis, device monitoring and so on. Due to changes in business or functional requirements or changes in device hardware, the application logic and even the data collected may change. To provide the flexibility needed in such cases and in a rapidly changing IoT landscape, TDengine starting from version 2.2.0.0, provides a series of interfaces for the schemaless writing method. These interfaces eliminate the need to create super tables and subtables in advance by automatically creating the storage structure corresponding to the data as the data is written to the interface. When necessary, schemaless writing will automatically add the required columns to ensure that the data written by the user is stored correctly.
The schemaless writing method creates super tables and their corresponding subtables completely indistinguishable from the super tables and subtables created directly via SQL. You can write data directly to them via SQL statements. Note that the names of tables created by schemaless writing are based on fixed mapping rules for tag values, so they are not explicitly ideographic and lack readability.

When the client is unable to connect to the server, you can try the following ways to troubleshoot and resolve the problem.
1. Check the network
- Check if the hosts where the client and server are running can be accessible to each other, for example by `ping` command.
- Check if the TCP/UDP on port 6030-6042 are open for access if firewall is enabled. It's better to firstly disable firewall for diagnostics.
- Check if the FQDN and serverPort are configured correctly in `taos.cfg` used by the server side
- Check if the `firstEp` is set properly in the `taos.cfg` used by the client side
- Check if the hosts where the client and server are running are accessible to each other, for example by `ping` command.
- Check if the TCP/UDP on port 6030-6042 are open for access if firewall is enabled. If possible, disable the firewall for diagnostics, but please ensure that you are following security and other relevant protocols.
- Check if the FQDN and serverPort are configured correctly in `taos.cfg` used by the server side.
- Check if the `firstEp` is set properly in the `taos.cfg` used by the client side.
2. Make sure the client version and server version are same.
3. On server side, check the running status of `taosd` by executing `systemctl status taosd` . If your server is started using another way instead of `systemctl`, use the proper method to check whether the server process is running normally.
4. If using connector of Python, Java, Go, Rust, C#, node.JS on Linux to connect toe the server, please make sure `libtaos.so` is in directory `/usr/local/taos/driver` and `/usr/local/taos/driver` is in system lib search environment variable `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
