What is also neat is that since we can already pluck the table name off the index, we can end up in a situation where we can fully ingest a pandas dataframe with no additional args.
I.e.:
buffer.dataframe(df)
Short and sweet :-)
For context, the pandas docs on indices for time-series. I see them very often specially when doing downsampling or filling gaps in your data (equivalent to questdb's FILL)
Also, when using a named index, I would expect the designated timestamp column in QuestDB to retain the name. Otherwise when I have to use the column in a select statement it is confusing
It's common to use a
datetime64[ns]
df.index
in Pandas when dealing with timeseries. In such case our API should just be:This means changing the default logic of the
at
argument to also accept two new singleton types:The new behaviour for the
at=None
default would be to:at=Index
logic if the index column is adatetime64
,at=Server
logic if the index is any other type.Whilst technically a breaking change, the feature change is minor and is very unlikely to affect any of our users, thus this feature will not require a new major software release number.
