InfluxDB IOx now supports native SQL queries, allowing users to leverage time series data without needing to be Flux experts. This update expands the user base for InfluxDB by providing a more accessible query language, enabling non-Flux users to interact with the platform and integrate it with third-party tools like psql and Grafana. However, SQL support is limited to querying, as writing data to InfluxDB still requires using Flux. The addition of SQL capabilities marks an exciting evolution for InfluxDB, promoting innovation, interoperability, and efficiency while meeting developers where they are by offering multiple query languages.
