Modify records in place in version 3.0

1

Hi All

I am so curious and could not find any reference on this topic so far.

Is it possible or planned soon in InfluxDB version 3.0 to edit records in place?
That means not to have to use a client to read and then modify and then delete and replace the old record with the changes?

I think the Flux can do this, but I prefer to use the standard SQL.

Curious, because I find that performing certain changes are more elegant and robust in native database transactions than using client code.

Thanks for the great db, wonderful experience.

Hello, @Eric_Smith1,
Flux can transform data but even Flux can’t update or edit data. Still you would have to use flux to query, transform and then write and delete.

Deletes are coming soon.
