Hi @pturmel

"Soon" isn't the wording I'd use, but I'm definitely on the same page. I know this isn't a simple task, and handling it properly is key. As mentioned here [New Historian - QuestDB - #16 by Kyle\_Chase1](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/new-historian-questdb/109144/16) and [New Historian - QuestDB - #34 by Kevin.McClusky](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/new-historian-questdb/109144/34) we were expecting this in the 8.3 line, not in the new yearly releases 😉 Of course, we'll provide alternative solutions to help simplify operations.

And by the way, I totally agree on [New Historian - QuestDB - #46 by pturmel](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/new-historian-questdb/109144/46) (like the raison d’être term too)
