I am a newbie to Database Systems and I was wondering what is difference between Temporal database and Time-series database. I have searched on the internet but I am not getting any comparison of the two.
A temporal database stores events which happen at a certain time or for a certain period. For example, the address of a customer may change so when you join the invoice table with the customer the answer will be different before and after the move of the customer.
A time-series database stores time-series which are array of number indexed by time. Like the evolution of the temperature with one measure every hour. Or the stock value every second.
Time-series database: A time series database is a database that is optimized to store time-series data. This is data that is stored along with a time stamp so that changes in the data can be measured over time. Prometheus is a time-series database used by Sound Cloud, Docker and Show Max.
Real world uses:
Autonomous trading algorithms, continuously collects data on market changes.
DevOps monitoring stores data of the state of the system over its run time.
Temporal databases contain data that is time sensitive. That is, the data are stored with time indicators such as the valid time (time for which the entry remains valid) and transaction time (time the data was entered into the database). Any database can be used as a temporal database if the data is managed correctly.
Real world uses:
Shop inventory systems keep track of stock quantities, time of purchase and best-before-dates.
Industrial processes that are dependant on valid time data during manufacturing and sales.

I have a table present in my system which needs to be in sync with a third party table at a daily interval. The table size is >50 million rows and every day, around < 1% gets updated/created and hence we perform incremental sync where they send the delta data to us every day. Now, this is based on timestamps and I was wondering whether we should have monthly full data sync to make sure everything is in order. I'm guessing this will act as a validation of sorts to confirm that any data that is missed during the daily, will be sent in the monthly.
The full data sync is obviously painful to do (how do you easily update 50 million rows in your relational database) but assuming that that is feasible, should incremental data syncs really be backed up by monthly full syncs to ensure full data sync, or is this just over-engineering a simple problem which should work off the bat?
EDIT: It is not a db replication and we do a few modifications on a few columns in the source data as well as add a few custom attributes of our own to each row.
I have connected my power BI to companys oracle database, and with measure I have calculated the daily inventory level. My problem is that I only have the current inventory level in my power BI which updates automatically when i press refresh. (no historic data)
Is it possible to somehow export the measurements data (inventory level) to a new table where there could be for example a date and a inventory level from that certain date.
At the endpoint there would be historic data in one table about the development of our companys inventory levels.
It's possible to get measure values with recently announced XMLA Endpoint , but you need Power BI Premium or Power BI Embedded capacity for that to work (at least for now).
Other way of doing this could be with an Excel file and Analyse with Excel -feature. For this to work, you need to update the excel file and save the results manually.
Third option is the way #MJoy suggested, a log table to the source database with automatic updates.
i'm looking for the best database for my big data project.
We are collecting data from some sensors. Every row has about one hundred column.
every day we store some milions of rows.
The most common query is for retreiving data for one sensor in a range of date.
at the moment i use a percona mysql cluster. when i ask data for a range on some days, the response is fast. The problem is when i ask data for a month.
The database is perfectly optimized, but the response time is not acceptable.
I would like to change percona cluster with a database able to perform query in parallel on all the nodes to improve response time.
With Cassandra i could partition data accross nodes (maybe based on the current date) but i have read that cassandra cannot read data between partition in parallel, but i have to create a query for every day. (i don't know why)
Is there a database that manage shard queries automatically, so i can distribute data across all nodes?
With Cassandra, If you split your data across multiple partitions, you still can read data between partition in parallel by executing multiples queries asynchronously.
Cassandra drivers help you handle this, see execute_concurrent from the python driver.
Moreover, the cassandra driver is aware of the data partitioning, it knows which node holds which data. So when reading or writing, it chooses an appropriate node to send the query, according to the driver load balancing policy (specifically with the TokenAwarePolicy).
Thus, the client acts as a load balancer, and your request is processed in parallel by the available nodes.
I understand time series databases like influxDB etc... are used to store metrics or variables that change over time. eg uses would be to store sensor data or metrics like counters and timers.
How different is it from a realtime database since timeseries data too is realtime in a sense. Can I use timeseries db for realtime data or vice-versa.Else, is there a database that handles both?
Time-series database is a database that stores values distributed over time (timestamp + value array for each series).
A real-time database is a database that satisfies real-time guarantees and should meet some time constraints and deadlines. E.g. the database system can guarantee that the query will be executed in no longer than 100ms. If it takes longer, the error will be triggered. Any database system can be real-time, e.g. a relational one or KV-store. A good example of such systems are the ticker plants used by stock exchanges (NYSE, TSX or NASDAQ).
TLDR
Real-time database and time-series database are two different things.
I am working on a monitoring project based on Web. There are nearly 50 sensors with the sample frequency 50Hz. All the raw data of sensor must be stored into the database. That means that nearly 2500 data per second will be deal and 200 million per day. And the data must be saved for at least three years. My job is making a webserver to show the real-time and historical sensor data through the database. The time-delay displaying is allowed.
Which database should we choose for this application? SQL server or Oracle? Is it possible for these databases to stand so huge I/O transactions per second?
How to design the database structure for real-time data and historical data? My opinions are that there are two databases, one store real-time data, another store historical data. First the coming data was stored in real-time database, and at the some time(eg. 23:59:59 every day ), I write a sql transaction to transfer the real-time data to the historical database. So for the real-time displaying, it read the real-time database. And for historical data shown, it read historical database. Is it feasible? And how to determine the time to transfer the data? I think on day is too long for some huge data.
How to store the time information? It comes a data per 20 million seconds. For one data + one time information, the database will expand so huge. For that the datetime type of sql server 2008 take 8 byte space. For 50 data+ one time information , the volume of database will reduce ,but for the data shown , it will cost time to get ervery data from the 50 data. How to balance the database size and the efficient of data reading?
