Hi, all. I’m trying to add a MonetDB interface to VoltTron, a Python based server for building and energy management systems. To that end I have to be able to use some of the mclient commands from it, for example, to check if a table exists (\d ), from Python. IIUC, monetdb.mapi.Connection objects should enable me to do that, but I have no idea how. A second question is about performance. The existing databse schema for this product looks like this in MonetDB: CREATE TABLE "voc"."data_test" ( "ts" TIMESTAMP(3) NOT NULL, "topic_id" INTEGER NOT NULL, "value_string" CHARACTER LARGE OBJECT NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT "data_test_topic_id_ts_unique" UNIQUE ("topic_id", "ts") ); There’s a time stamp and topic ID, and SELECT queries are almost always for a narrow range in time, and a small set of topic IDs (usually a set of one). The “value_string” is there because values in the topics can range in type, but are almost always floats. Can I expect MonetDB’s performance to be good For this use case? Or should I force the value_string to a float?
