Distributed hypertables

Distributed hypertables are hypertables that span multiple nodes. With distributed hypertables, you can scale your data storage across multiple machines and benefit from parallelized processing for some queries.

Many features of distributed hypertables work the same way as standard hypertables. To learn how hypertables work in general, see the hypertables section.

In this section:

  • Learn about distributed hypertables for multi-node databases
  • Create a distributed hypertable
  • Insert data into distributed hypertables
  • Query data in distributed hypertables
  • Alter and drop distributed hypertables
  • Create foreign keys on distributed hypertables
  • Set triggers on distributed hypertables
