Data is collected at high frequency and needs to be aggregated and calculated at certain time intervals. For example, to calculate the daily average temperature, the sequence of temperature needs to be segmented by day, and then calculated. average value.</p><p>Aggregate by time refers to a query method that uses a lower frequency than the time frequency of data collection, and is a special case of segmented aggregation. For example, the frequency of data collection is one second. If you want to display the data in one minute, you need to use time aggregagtion.</p><p>This section mainly introduces the related examples of time aggregation, using the <code>GROUP BY</code> clause. IoTDB supports partitioning result sets according to time interval and customized sliding step. And by default results are sorted by time in ascending order.</p><p>The GROUP BY statement provides users with three types of specified parameters:</p><ul><li>Parameter 1: The display window on the time axis</li><li>Parameter 2: Time interval for dividing the time axis(should be positive)</li><li>Parameter 3: Time sliding step (optional and defaults to equal the time interval if not set)</li></ul><p>The actual meanings of the three types of parameters are shown in Figure below.<br> Among them, the parameter 3 is optional.</p><center><img style="width:100%;max-width:800px;max-height:600px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block;" src="https://alioss.timecho.com/docs/img/github/69109512-f808bc80-0ab2-11ea-9e4d-b2b2f58fb474.png"></center><p>There are three typical examples of frequency reduction aggregation:</p><h5 id="aggregate-by-time-without-specifying-the-sliding-step-length" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#aggregate-by-time-without-specifying-the-sliding-step-length" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Aggregate By Time without Specifying the Sliding Step Length</h5><p>The SQL statement is:</p><div class="language-sql line-numbers-mode" data-ext="sql"><pre class="language-sql"><code><span class="token keyword">select</span> <span class="token function">count</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token keyword">status</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> max_value<span class="token punctuation">(</span>temperature<span class="token punctuation">)</span> <span class="token keyword">from</span> root<span class="token punctuation">.</span>ln<span class="token punctuation">.</span>wf01<span class="token punctuation">.</span>wt01 <span class="token keyword">group</span> <span class="token keyword">by</span> <span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token punctuation">[</span><span class="token number">2017</span><span class="token operator">-</span><span class="token number">11</span><span class="token operator">-</span><span class="token number">01</span>T00:<span class="token number">00</span>:<span class="token number">00</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> <span class="token number">2017</span><span class="token operator">-</span><span class="token number">11</span><span class="token operator">-</span><span class="token number">07</span>T23:<span class="token number">00</span>:<span class="token number">00</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span><span class="token number">1</span>d<span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
