# Key-Value Pair

**The key/value of an attribute can be constant(including string) and identifier.** 

Below are usage scenarios of key-value pair:

- Attributes fields of trigger. See the attributes after `With` clause in the example below:

```sql
# 以字符串形式表示键值对
CREATE TRIGGER `alert-listener-sg1d1s1`
AFTER INSERT
ON root.sg1.d1.s1
AS 'org.apache.iotdb.db.engine.trigger.example.AlertListener'
WITH (
  'lo' = '0', 
  'hi' = '100.0'
)

# 以标识符和常量形式表示键值对
CREATE TRIGGER `alert-listener-sg1d1s1`
AFTER INSERT
ON root.sg1.d1.s1
AS 'org.apache.iotdb.db.engine.trigger.example.AlertListener'
WITH (
  lo = 0, 
  hi = 100.0
)
```

- Key-value pair to represent tag/attributes in timeseries:

```sql
# create timeseries using string as key/value
CREATE timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1(temprature) 
WITH datatype = FLOAT, encoding = RLE, compression = SNAPPY, 'max_point_number' = '5'
TAGS('tag1' = 'v1', 'tag2'= 'v2') ATTRIBUTES('attr1' = 'v1', 'attr2' = 'v2')

# create timeseries using constant as key/value
CREATE timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1(temprature) 
WITH datatype = FLOAT, encoding = RLE, compression = SNAPPY, max_point_number = 5
TAGS(tag1 = v1, tag2 = v2) ATTRIBUTES(attr1 = v1, attr2 = v2)
```

```sql
# alter tags and attributes of timeseries
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 SET 'newTag1' = 'newV1', 'attr1' = 'newV1'

ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 SET newTag1 = newV1, attr1 = newV1
```

```sql
# rename tag
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 RENAME 'tag1' TO 'newTag1'

ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 RENAME tag1 TO newTag1
```

```sql
# upsert alias, tags, attributes
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 UPSERT 
ALIAS='newAlias' TAGS('tag2' = 'newV2', 'tag3' = 'v3') ATTRIBUTES('attr3' ='v3', 'attr4'='v4')

ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 UPSERT 
ALIAS = newAlias TAGS(tag2 = newV2, tag3 = v3) ATTRIBUTES(attr3 = v3, attr4 = v4)
```

```sql
# add new tags
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD TAGS 'tag3' = 'v3', 'tag4' = 'v4'

ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD TAGS tag3 = v3, tag4 = v4
```

```sql
# add new attributes
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD ATTRIBUTES 'attr3' = 'v3', 'attr4' = 'v4'

ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD ATTRIBUTES attr3 = v3, attr4 = v4
```

```sql
# query for timeseries
SHOW timeseries root.ln.** WHRER 'unit' = 'c'

SHOW timeseries root.ln.** WHRER unit = c
```

- Attributes fields of Pipe and PipeSink.

```sql
# PipeSink example 
CREATE PIPESINK my_iotdb AS IoTDB ('ip' = '输入你的IP')

# Pipe example 
CREATE PIPE my_pipe TO my_iotdb FROM 
(select ** from root WHERE time>=yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS) WITH 'SyncDelOp' = 'true'
```
