I wanted to know if we can access influxdb remotely like other databases, I am new to influxdb and my understanding is its nosql / timeseries database.
not sure if any provision is there to access database over ip port and username and password
please guide or educate me if I have miss understood. Thanks!
I don’t see the connection between those two aspects.
InfluxDB is indeed a time series database, and versions 1 and 2 do not support
SQL-style queries, however these are completely independent of the fact that
you can access an InfluxDB instance over a network.
InfluxDB3 (coming soon) will support SQL-like queries, however I can’t say
quite how close to the SQL standards it is planned to be.
Yes we are accessing influxdb over http protocol (with curl to get and put data) but I wanted to know if there is a provision to access it remotely like we do for other database (mysql,postgres) with remote client by using connection strings (ip port username password)
My use case:
I want to access influxdb with one of the ETL tool for which I am trying to explore remote access with respect to influxdb.
