TimescaleDB

TimescaleDB Versioning​

Timescale performs regular releases, roughly twice a month. They support all current versions of PSQL which includes PSQL 13, 14, 15, and 16 at the time of writing.

Installation​

TimescaleDB Installation

⚠️ Adding TimescaleDB to an existing PSQL installation... They suggest not doing it, but neither Melissa nor Jake had issues with it. Jake originally followed their suggestions to install from source if you already have PSQL, but Melissa just ignored their warning and continued with the instructions. The version both Jake and Melissa currently use is an existing PSQL installation that TimescaleDB was added to.

Notes​

  • After downloading and unzipping the timescale installer, you must run setup.exe as admin.
  • Make sure that your PSQL binaries are available on the PATH environment variable, it will be something like C:\Program Files\Postgres\<version>\bin
  • When working with multiple versions of postgres, make sure the version you want is in your PATH variable. Remove all other versions from the PATH if necessary.
