Assume, for example, that you want to find out how many times a
compressor motor started in December. You also want to know its total
runtime for the month. The following query provides the answers:
SELECT "Starts{MotorRun}",
"ETM{MotorRun}"
FROM Threads
WHERE LocalTime >= "12/1/95"
AND LocalTime < "1/1/96"
AND Interval = "31"
SQL Examples
The following examples are typical query statements; however, your
queries may be much more involved, depending on your system
requirements.
• Retrieves the most recent (current) value of every tag logged to
Citadel.
SELECT *
FROM Threads
• Retrieves the value of every tag logged today in one second
increments.
Note the interval value is specified within
