We’ve just rolled out a new QuestDB Open Source release, with some big updates!

Find it here: Release 8.1.1 · questdb/questdb · GitHub

Changelist

  • We have added support for VARCHAR and STRINGs as deduplication keys - no longer will you have to rely on SYMBOL and fixed types alone!

  • We’ve renamed SNAPSHOT to CHECKPOINT to help reduce confusion between taking QuestDB checkpoints, and taking cloud-provider snapshots of your storage.

  • A special-case of ASOF JOIN queries is now 100x faster. Finance users may see this improvement themselves!

  • We’ve improved the performance and memory usage of common clauses, such as ORDER BY and GROUP BY.

Coming up

In the next release, we will also be bringing UI enhancements such as:

  • New editor tabs in the web console, helping to navigate and store your working queries
  • New performance metric charts to monitor ingestion and performance.

Look out for a sneak preview!
