Just to be clear. I am not involved in any way in the TimeSeriesDB
project. To repeat, I happened to come across mention of TimeSeriesDB in
an e-newsletter www.i-programmer.info

I don't use TimeSeriesDB myself. But I thought the claims by its
developers for its providing NoSQL-like capabilities, but built on the
PostgreSQL DB engine, and providing a complete SQL interface, might be
interesting to some members of pgsql-general(at)postgresql(dot)org

Regrets for any confusion caused.
